Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Chaos is the mother of adaptation.

So lets say a titan in a forward system away from your staging accidentally bumps out of the tower and gets tackled. Said titan doesnt bump 25km outside of the forcefield. With this change he cant even light a cyno to save himself. How does this make sense?

Alchy09 had and interesting idea posted in the reddit thread about this "Whilst I do like this change, the whole mechanic of bumping going through a Cyno is a pain in the backside, and something that should of been looked at years ago.
However!

Recently they made some changes elsewhere that could in theory be applied to Cynos. Wormhole mechanics! Hear me out here! What if mass dictated where you appear when you go through a cyno, meaning inties, land 5k off, dreads say 15km around, titans say, 25km around. This would resolve a lot of the issues with bumping, and the mechanic for it already exists, CCP just simply need to apply it to cynos. Tho... would make jumping to stations with a JF seriously fun.... ooo I like!"

HTFU

you/they get qq'd. ask mittens to give you one of his

25k is good change , but can it be increased bit more?
Titans have big signature , and you can still bump them into the direction of forcefield.

Can we get at the same time more range on Mobile Cyno Inhibitor , or at least reduce the minimal range between those structures.

From reddit:

This change is so ******* stupid it's not even a ******* exploit. In EVE we punish people for every stupid move they did not think over before doing:

• Go to HS in 10+b JF without quick exit cyno we punish you,


• Grinding infrastructure in 0.0 with solo super we punish you,
• You don't look what anomaly you warp to you end your carrier in ESS bubble we punish you,
• You don't align as you land in anomaly we punish you,
• You don't anchor up in fleet fight you primary you dead,
• You don't look which button you press and you jump instead of bridge we punish you
• So many punishments for so many tiny mistakes but THIS this is where we are going to hold hands for stupid people who are incapable of deploying a Mobile Cyno Inhibitor you can have like 500000000 of these in your Titan or your Super Carrier or any fleet scout can take them with him.

HERE we are going to hold hands and in turn **** over entire EVE. https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Mobile_Cynosural_Inhibitor[1] This module has been out for what a year now. You drop this thing in direction your Titan/Fleet is facing and noone can jump in.
It's cheap, it's already made, it works and it costs no dev hours and it wont destroy 1000's of hours of work.
This is another Jump Fuel change. It's stupid and ******** and wont do anything else but **** over people who made all the bookmarks for corps/alliances.

There is so much stupid in this change.. Go make the game more friendly for WoW player why don't you just setup a ******* moving service and move fleets around your self.

You are aware that this is because of exploit mechanics in the obsolete pos code?

Well mate, there's a point to your question but ...
This change removes a significant factor which can cause your titan to be bumped out, that's one.
The statement by CCP Falcon regarding bumping ANY ship out of the POS as long as there's not password to it ASSURES that the bump you mention can only happen with some amount of negligence or other, otherwise it's an EXPLOIT - that's two.
Cause we all know that CCP will own up to their WELL DEFINED statements, right guyz?

Depending who exploits bugs , or what alliance loose ships to large player scale engagements.
But at least someone did something.

Oh, Fozzie making another nonsensical poorly thought out post that pretty much wrecks a whole lot more of Eve than it's intended to address, but we have to "stay on topic" in the face of something clearly put forward devoid of thought. Should we all just post +1 to the 3-4 posts that succinctly point out just how idiotic this is?

Added risk?

This eliminates a lot of risk for any triage repping a pos up. This eliminates or severely limits a lot of risk for pos shoot groups. Both of which will just sit in the 25km sphere of ******* invulnerability.

It makes the people that exploit (yes, exploit) the cyno into a pos with no forcefield up for invulnerability of their super/titan even safer- since CCP won't ever actually lay down the law when they do so the only option to kill them was to cyno things in right in there with them- all they have to do is time it slightly differently.

So where is the risk added in?

It's added in to the already most mindnumbing bullshit in this game of doing JF runs, now you get the option of being completely defenseless with zero chance to burn into the pos.

It's added further to any titan bumped out by whatever means, cause they won't even be able to light a ******* cyno to bring in help unless the merciful bump gods do send them 25.0000001 km out.

I'm pretty goddamned sure the added safety to triage and pos shooters kinda outweighs annoying the everliving **** out of JF nerds and absolutely damning bumped out titans.


**** it, if there's a good point it clearly has to go to reddit instead of here.
