What's the worst realistic change you can make?

Congrats, you've just been hired by Cryptic as a Dev. You now have the ability to change one thing, or introduce something, that will tank PvP. What do you do?
Catch: it has to be realistic. No 8 forward weapon ships.
I'd throw the Valdore console into a lockbox for everyone.

for sale in the z store.
Ew, I just cringed at that.
Why 4? just sell +1 for 1000 zen
not even sure that would really do it
Mediocrity Field Generator: This console allows your ship to generate a 15km field that negates all traits (Captain and Bridge Officer, friend and foe, Personal and Reputation) within its area of effect. 30 sec duration, 3 min cooldown.
DON'T HELP THEM PLEASE.
lol...
Console that rearranged enemy power tray, something like that
What's that you say...FOFFs?
:eek:
A console 2-pack:
ECM Feedback Pulse: This console allows you to automatically engage countermeasures against any player attacking you. When struck by energy weapons, you have a 2.5% chance to move, hide, or show a single random UI element.
ECCM Inversion Field: This console allows you to counter electronic countermeasures. When struck by a confuse or placate ability, your opponent's main viewscreen and comm system are filled with Mr. Trololo for double the duration of the confuse or placate you are subjected to.
Again, to make it realistic, these would only be available via lock box. To make it kill PvP... they are all just plain aggravating to a normal human being and wouldn't do anything at all to NPC's. :P
like an escort with
comm tac
lt/lt.comm tac (or univ)
comm eng
lt/ltcomm sci (or univ)
(+ensign tqac/sci/eng/univ)
RnD and upgrade needs less RNG. Less lottery. Something has to change.
nerf AtB
But folks PvP'd just fine before AtB...it might kill the forums with the flood of complaints, but PvP would mosey on along just fine.
Now, if they removed the need for the Tech DOFFs and just made the CD reduction part of the AtB ability itself, while only requiring a single AtB ability be slotted, while also changing it from AtB to EPtB, while keeping it off of the EPtX cycle and even removing it from the AtX cycle, and well...heh...

Subnucleonic Beam Arrays and Beam Banks...as well as an [Arc] 360 Subnucleonic Beam Array.
With a set bonus that causes SNB not only to strip buffs, but to prevent buffs from being applied.
pvp, and the rest of the game, would suck with so many cruisers gutted of effectiveness. all those tac cruiser left that can still make decent damage would have the durability of an escort with none of the mobility or ability to escape incoming damage, they would be non competitive achilles heals to the team they are on. they would be just as crappy as they were in the pre doff days, only much worse as escort and sci ship creep has increased dramatically.
the gap that has closed between the bug and everything else will be blown wide open all over again, science would reign unopposed, since the heal and clear up times that barely keep it in check now would be gone. only a handful of ships would you be caught dead using, because take AtB out of the equation and you have no more then 10 non warbirds worth using with out being a major drag on your team. right now you can make basically anything work if you can run AtB on it. there is more balance, and a true wealth of ships options with it, then without it.
what your theorizing sounds 'more op' then tech doffs, because it would require no doffs, and wouldn't be on a cooldown system with anything. well, at least the level of scorn AtB has now would be appropriate if it did work like that.
A T6 or T5+1 do-it-all lockbox ship.
