Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Define riskier.
Define Structure.

Anythings possible but ya gotta do some of the mental legwork yourself before anyone will remotely consider it.

in hs id doupt the empires would be fuzzed about tracking and limiting certain ships to pass theyr systems would be more pain then good bits there ..

tho id see something like that in nullsec .. cyno jammers not allowing new capitals into system is kinda like that .. but yea with dissallowing smallers ships .. could get messy .. meybe one day when we get player built stargates to connect to wh systems or where ever they take us the gates can be locked down (scouts in the system can always scan down wh-s where non-locals can get in ..

but hs .. NO

Define "high traffic."
Define "unrestricted passage."

I ask this because...

"High traffic" can be construed as the actual game server having issues moving large numbers of people back and forth... which is not an issues with can really create new rules or a gimmicky mechanic for because it is a "technical limitations" issue.

"Unrestricted passage" as it applies to EVE means no player can interfere with you... which goes against a few core design tenants of EVE (no instancing, players can always affect other players, no player can have mechanical benefits without also paying a mechanical cost).


Another core design tenant of EVE: the DEVs create tools for us players to use for / against each other... they do not directly administrate or control player behavior.

Define "high traffic." = enough ships with a mass over 640k kg jumping through to justify "taking a look" to see why.

Define "unrestricted passage." = systems in high security space that would be unrestricted anyway, without the use of bumping, warp disruptors, scramblers, bubbles, etc.



The structure would be a tool to help combat "bumping" which prevents freighter pilots from hauling. Suspect status would be applied if somebody was to interfere with that "tool" in high sec space. I'm not suggesting any player behavior "controlled".

These things would be turned to slag within an hour of it being onlined and you would be under constant war Dec while you were in the habit of putting them up.

There are already several methods to keep your freighter from being bumped. I recommend you do a modicum of research to find out how, then put those methods into practice.

Additionally, as has already been stated, CCP is not in the habit of trying to directly control player behavior. Concord is meant to be punitive not preventitave.

Lastly, this thread has been reported for redundancy, as CCP has made it blatantly obvious that bumping is an accepted mechanic.

this is in game already. Look at map stats in game. Look at say ship or pods lost last hour or a timeframe that meets your needs.


Here is a hint....iif ts glowing flaring red it means lots of things have blown up. You have a hot system on route. DOn't like the heat plot new course don't even enter the kitchen.


You whine about bumping.....this is in place for hubs and stations in general. you are aware of the fact if bumping incures some penalty many visitors to Jita 4-4 would be yellow if not outlaw blinky red in seconds flat. And the jita node would crash or be in why even bother playing of levels of TIDI from conccorde responses. Watch the really fun vidoes of when people set up lots shuttles and pods in the undock and fired off aoe like smarty. Cool ass vids. You get to see the death of the say jita node as the concord swarms get that bad.

Knew a guy buddies with one poster of these vids. Fun times I hear. -10 or close enough in seconds flat. Many of his hits were the smarty hitting, but not killing, normal people in the undock. Normal meaning not his alts, friends (or their alts), used to seed the massive chain reaction of concrode response. Couldn't use his new found uber outlaw status for a few days ofc....ccp temp banned him for having his way with the node.

Obviously CCP disagrees with this assessment or it would be easier to bump and gank.

Back to OP.
We have ships piling up at random points because they cannot get "clearance" to travel through an area and this is supposed to be good for the game? How?

Why would CCP want to arbitrarily restrict passage through an area of space? what possible good comes to CCP for doing this?

-1 because of your restrictions based on mass which would always give priority to the largest ships unfairly restricting the passage of other players simply because they choose to fly smaller ships.

@OP - presumably you want highsec nerfed yet again because you're bad at the game. Please link the lossmail.

Bumping isn't a problem, fly smart and never be bothered again.
