1. AoE doomsday weapons were removed;
2. While not a physicist, I'm fairly certain the calibre of weaponry in this universe, combined with the speeds at which impacts occur, produce far more energy - whether kinetic, explosive or otherwise - than a conventional nuclear weapon does; and
3. You're an idiot.

Necesitating a minesweeper function - maybe modules that fit Destroyers or Frigates. Then you'll have folks ganking the minesweepers, and folks trying to defend the minesweepers from gankers... There'll be so much combat in the belts that no mining will take place, and James & The New Order will win!

Read the description of a Nova Torpedo. We were nuking those structures in Fountain.
Nova Rage Torpedo wrote:
An ultra-heavy nuclear missile. While it is a slow projectile, its sheer damage potential is simply staggering.

This modified version of the Nova Torpedo packs a considerably stronger punch, but as a result is heavier and slower. This makes it very effective against larger targets, but markedly less effective against smaller and more agile targets.

Honestly, if we are going to have something like a smart mine function, I am surprised it hasn't been implemented into the dronebay function already.

Heck, the drone deployment methods for, let's say, sentries, already launches them in a sufficient spread, we'd just need to bump up the distance variable for it. And of course they only remain active while the deploying ship is in the system and not docked.

I'd consider it a tactical and innovative options to defeat tackle frigates etc, and would open up a number of emergent gameplay options.

Obviously, they would not be deployable close to a station, and only in low/null/wormholes. Possibly put a timer on them too, then they blow up regardless. But the idea has some merit, honestly.

(I personally think CCP dreads the prospect of having them back because how we'd use them would flood the earth with carebear tears)

[Edit: Such as, probe out someone's safe spot, bookmark it, come back when they are gone and fill it with mines. Twisted

Well, there are some industrial kills...

Wow, I could not even force myself to type that with a straight face. I burst out laughing halfway through the sentence.

No, see he claims he's moving up in the world, and doesn't gank cyno frigs anymore. He's "graduated" to indy ships.

Look, if *you're* going to use an utterly misleading label, why *shouldn't* people call you on it?

Hey, he's on TEST's level now. TEST has start ganking industrials as well, because apparently killing ratters is too dangerous without a whole gang, which is too risky.

Yeah... but that's not really an example of how high he's risen, more than an example of how far they've fallen.

So basically, you want a way for a single individual to welp a subcap fleet in a single unstoppable shot. How about instead, you learn to play EVE, and play on a level playing field like everyone else. Some people are suggesting to move this post, but it doesn't even belong in features and ideas. Like most of your posts it need to just go in the trash.

And I know, you're going to respond abut how I'm wrong and how I just don't understand and how I'm super blocked from your delicate ears. As always, your tears will be delicious.
