Eve needs a "punch it" button, a button that would put the ship instantly in to warp to the direction where the ship is aligned at that time.

Youtube - Punch it!

Note: This is of course all for immersion, not for getting out of tight spots.

This topic is getting to be one of the gold standards for irresistible baiting.

Has anyone else seen this idea before?

I seem to be suffering from Dejá Thread.

Oh, how abused this idea would be.

Stealth 'bring back deep safes' thread anyone?

I'm calling bullshit. You do know what game we are playing, right?

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

Only instead of warping it sends you to a random null sec system.

Frakk trolling. I eat that and the bait for breakfast.
I understand the "Get away now button" gimmick, just find that it should have an EVE like button than trying to follow popculture. Not to say Star Wars is bad, but EVE can bring up it's own-original-stuff.

As for ingame, you'd have to be more specific. Right now, it would just be an easymode getaway (which everybody is afraid about). Plus, the game "already has that" when you think about how easy it is to just be aligned and just warp out the moment danger appears.

If you really want a "punch it", I'd say "just for (Industrial) Capital Ships", but such has to come with a penalty.

Maybe the "punch it" or "Punched" could be a random sound gimmick by Lady Aura's voice, bought at the EVE store?

But I doubt you will see much support from the community for this one. ^^

Using tablet, typoes are common and I'm not going to fix them all.
