Introduce a new npc species called the nekkro (or something like that ) with a mission chain culminating in 2 new pvp slots. These are reserved for nekkro-infected PLAYER ships that have been inactive for a year. Nekkro ships can be randomly buffed/debuffed and have random traps but never a halc. Infected can be disabled , raided , and hacked normally

That seems like a great idea, tired of attacking always the same few players, I guess they are tired of being attack to.

I like the OP idea - something different that could add a bit of variety. It could allow for attacking directly, or better yet, it will allow you to repair that necro ship and put it onto folks battle tabs.
I also like the halc buster idea, though it shouldn't work on calming amps, only halc traps. It could be an offensive arti that removes a halcyon aura, or it could be a counter-trap you set on your own ship which will block an enemy's halcyon trap from tripping.

How about the effect of triggering the Halcyon makes them self-destruct (no death) so we can raid them dry for being cowards ?

Nekkro-infected combat rep and personal stats are not affected . maybe new nekkro stats added? Their planets can be crit-hacked tho
Random temporary buffs could include : Double/half hull/shield Def de/buff Att de/buff Scan/cloak de/buffs Random negative status proc Random heal effect Containment missle proc Double /half raid /hack bonus Impervious to hack/raid Double /half hack/raid chance Cant hack until disabled Cant disable until hacked Repair ship spawn Chance of rare planet coordinates ( maybe new nekkro planet type)

Best way to deal with the halc issue is have a 'passive mode', where you switch it on and become untargetable for attacking, and you appear less on battle tabs. But works like a halc, except you have to wait 2 days before you can activate it after performing an offensive action. That way people who want to PvP can and people who prefer not to dont get harrassed. (On a side note, they should change combat rep to clearly reflect the status eg 320x someones deaths in kills equals insane)

Didn't specify Hacks but i guess they would count as an offensive action. Maybe you could get hacked, maybe you couldn't. Who knows as it hasn't been implemented but it is a solid idea in my view.

If you don't appear in battle tabs, and you ahven't done anything offiensive in two days, then nobody can do anything to you. Hence, you couldn't get hacked. It pretty much removes you from PvP 100%. Also, is a side note and not part of the original post, I think we're getting off track a bit.

Erm... Thanks for talkin about my idea guys lol
Anyway my reason for this is 2fold... 1) more pvp targets 2) theres alot of old players who's ships are just floatin around out there. It would be cool to see them around again if only as a ghost. Maybe dan could make a medal for finding and defeating nocifer or fluffybunny or some other notorious player from the past

+1 to this idea, lots of inactive ships could easily be added to the battle tab. It would also make things somewhat fairer if they were to have a buff, lots of people quit due to being to weak to do anything pvp wise and getting disable constantly, so having loads of weak inactive ships would make it no challenge to get pvp medals.

Crit hacked nekkro ships could have a nekkro effect added to the planet that is hacked. Special structure or planetary effect or npc defensive blockade?
