Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Real men chase interceptors on-screen with their mice.

It's a new meta-game. If you can catch the interceptor and right click "lock" in it, you win!

Nearly pissed myself imagining these xD

sadly very true. you are encouraged to add and edit the evelopedia page i set up for this purpose, at least nothing to get lost in the high traffic...

I suppose the trollface should be reserved for ECM. That's not to represent the play, it's to represent the ******* who thought ECM was a fair thing to have and implement.

Maybe the option to force to show when someone is disrupting/EWAR on you (if for some reason they're not appearing on overview) and move them to the top of the overview list. It's easy for people with medium experience to make a mistake on overview settings, or anyone who's venturing into new territory (PvE'ers stepping into PvP).

With any level of experience, the concept of "you can not run away" should be clear and an indication that something needs to be done about it benefits everyone. If this was an issue only new players faced then I would be less concerned about it, but this can be a problem for anyone. In PvE and PvP, especially in undesired combat, this should be a convenient thing to be aware of.

Just as convenient it is to check your health, capacitor, speed and modules. The concept of warp disruption is so embedded in this game that a PvPer without the ability to use it raises eyebrows. Bubbles cause frustration, and all they do is prevent a function that is only occasionally needed.

That is where it's particularly valuable to have a clear indicator if we're being warp disrupted; there's nothing telling you if you're being stopped from warping by a bubble but for the graphic and the failed attempt. If you're in starmap, you won't know if you're inside it. If you're in a rush to get to the edge of the bubble it kind of presumes you have a reason to want to know when you've escaped. The wobbly, gelatenous appearance of the disruption sphere kind of makes it hard to determine, even when it is in plain view.

This is just so starkly obvious to me, I'm shocked it isn't already implemented.

Excellent idea-- the current notifications are certainly better than the days when there weren't any at all, but as always the UI leaves something to be desired.

Now why would you see a silly thing like that?

I haven't been through the New Player Experience since Incarna, but when I did I felt it very lacking in impressing me with the idea that "When you are warp scrambled, you are in serious danger and need to panic and flail and prepare to get your pod out and don't you dare blink because you will die in that millisecond you have between being in a pod and being in a station."

I'm pretty new to this necromancer thing so I have to bump threads while they're still freshly dead.
