We study a deformation of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation recently derived in the context of deformation of hierarchies of integrable systems. This systematic method also led to known integrable equations such as the Camassa-Holm equation. Although this new equation has not been shown to be completely integrable, its solitary wave solutions exhibit typical soliton behaviour, including near elastic collisions. We will first focus on standing wave solutions, which can be smooth or peaked, then, with the help of numerical simulations, we will study solitary waves, their interactions and finally rogue waves in the modulational instability regime. Interestingly the structure of the solution during the collision of solitary waves or during the rogue wave events are sharper and have larger amplitudes than in the classical NLS equation.
