Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'd like to see a self destruct nuclear power explosion based on your total skills somehow. killing everyone that has lower skills and reaches far and wide. *shrugs*

Don't tell me a nuclear self destruct isn't for real. If it was impossible for some space ships in the future when we start space travel to have an a bomb self destruct in galactic war it would be ridiculous. And don't tell me that won't be something our governments or world governments wouldn't consider from terrorist space travelers.

And don't tell me no space army won't consider making NO target locks on their ships while they blow up many fleets.

and don't tell me warp drives are so weak they only reach pluto

and don't say when anime takes to space like gundam they're going to be against unlimited power like DBZ or bleach.

and don't say warp scramblers are the absolute totality of a technology that no warp core stabilizer can defeat them.

and don't tell me dueling can't reach into galactical tournaments.

yup sounds like reasonable ideas to me and not hilariously funny

Nuclear reactors are actually just a part of the power sources in the ships flown in Eve. They are probably like the Bloodhound supersonic car which uses a folmula I racecar engine just to pump the fuel. The real power probably comes from fusion/matter-antimatter or some such and would be much more dangerous than mere nukes. You'd probably need to be fairly close in relative terms too since we tend to be tens of kilometres apart in space. The ships would also have to be pretty much completely shielded against radiation too dimply to operate in deep space so that effect would have minimal impact also.

In game terms it would be silly as it is so immensely abusable. A few velators could nuke a freighter for a start way before CONCORD even knew tey had. Gatecamping would consist of scramming target and hitting self destruct. Same for station camps. Jita undock would be able to power 58 major galactic civilizations with the number of nukes.

Again the navy isn't real and chat channels arn't real. You can't use bomb launchers thus you won't be able to self destruct.

Hey reality is reality. Use strategy and your legendary skills to get your friend to blow them up before they can self destruct like your bragging about.

Hows this for bragging. 5 Thoraxes can't nuke anything in jita because it's a restricted area like bomb launchers.

Jita? The only thing you can do there is duel or corp battles.

Just no.

This was in the game once, for Titans. It was removed. It has been gone for nearly a decade. Everyone knows it was a bad idea, and nobody has come close to bringing it back. [/thread]

Oops sorry guys didn't realizing we were not-posting hoping this thread would go under and never surface again. Right-o.

At first sight , I thought you are a new player and need help learning stuff. Now I understand why lots of people became hard-shelled because of troll alts like you.

Ok, the self-destruct AoE explosion idea is a decent one that's been around for awhile; the problem here is that it can't be this giant world-shattering explosion you're thinking of. I think a balance point that would make *some*thing like it marginally feasable would be having the same 2 minute timer you have with pod destruction, and doing it in hisec would get concord on your ass with a sec hit, and they'd pop you before you could pop yourself.
The long delay between exploding and removal from hisec would make it feasable, especially if the damage and blast radius scales up as you go.
