I think we should have a new ship class thats a suicide ship meant to clear gate camps, in star trek armada the romulans had a similar ship to clear wormhole campers.

1. You haven't really thought that through have you?

2. It's a stupid idea for a host of reasons (eg. What exactly is the composition and size of a gate camp and if it could clear that, why would it not also go clear any battlefield, instant win)

3. These idiotic series of threads only turn me off ever clicking on the ridiculously spaced links in your signature

... or a decent "Self Destruct" mechanism that includes Area Of Effect damage which gets nastier and larger in radius depending on the size of the ship you detonate and how much ammo said ship is carrying at the time... Cool

Of course, you lose the ship in the process and, just to make people think twice, your own pod, too. Twisted

...then emergent gameplay comes in and this is used at Jita 4-4, fleet miners, rookie systems, etc.

It would only work within 25 km of a gate, and only in null sec

I approve of this! In the sense that bumping does actual damage without making you suspect, and the damage is relative to the speed and mass of both ships. Now imagine a Machariel ramming a mining barge at 3k m/s... and as for gatecamps, a fleet of suicide MWD stabbers going whooosh into the enemy fleet! Oh how glorious it would be!

why would anyone want a battleship involved? the celestis does fine.

it has pissed off gatecampers untold times, and it will continue to do so.

'Cause this would NEVER be exploited for laughs and tears.
