EVE General Discussion

What? Battlegrounds "ruined" pvp. BC arenas made the degraded PvP more fun.

You can. Start with closing the client and getting up from your chair.

It is, it's called World of Darkness.

Hmmmmm, weird, i had hoped my awesome super duper brilliant idea would lead to more discussion...... o well.

I would say just as advanced as the Jovians, since the Jovians were able to retain their technological position after the closing of the EVE gate.

Nope, nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope

If you took the time to read any of the back story to Eve Online you will notice that even the Jovians were scared of what the Terran technology could do.

Have you read The Empyrean Age?
A very good read. but in that book the Amarr found a weapon of Terran design which when fitted to a Abbadon, that could wipe out entire fleets and Titans in one hit. The weapon basicaly turned the targeted ships shields into bombs that detonated inwards and the energy then cascaded to the other ships near by and kept leaping about till all the enemy ships were dead.

There was a vid sequence showing this weapon in action as well. Skip to 1:34 for see it in use. [url=http://youtu.be/PKdTJjDnYzE]http://youtu.be/PKdTJjDnYzE[/url

It also left the pilot unconsciouse due to a huge neural feedback for a few minutes. Extended use and it could be permament damage.

I propose we open the eve gate, let through the idiots that keep starting these threads, and then close it behind them.

Forever.

I would support this if and only if CCP made it a player activated event.

CCP should start by seeding ancient text's and parts of blue prints in hacking sites so players need to solve a puzzle first. Make these items extremely rare, hard to find and set it up so it takes players scanning the EVE gate, doing exploration, fighting sleepers, sansha and all the other factions to piece together the key to opening the EVE gate. These ancient texts and blue prints should be in such short run and there should be a finite number in the EVE universe. If they get destroyed there are less of the items and less of a chance that players are able to open the gate.

On top of that I would also suggest making it so you are required to have a specific module fitted to your ship to pass through the EVE gate otherwise the energy waves would tear the ship apart. Again have long lost tech spread all over new eden that needs to be found before people can make this module. This would have to involve reverse engineering and possibly some bad modules that don't work right. Have it so when you are trying to create this module there could be 4-5 variations that are possibly from reverse engineering. Only 1 of these different variations will work per racial ship, there should be no indication on which works on what race so you require a test pilot to use them.

If and once the EVE gate is open there should be Terran tech ships that randomly come through the gate. These Terran's should be more advanced then sleepers and sansha and should basically war through new eden. 0.0, Low and High sec. Shooting anything and everything causing mass destruction. Create a consequence for opening this gate which should have stayed closed. Personally I would suggest that they roam in groups of 8-20 battle ships and each battle ship of theirs is about as powerful as 3-6 of our battleships. I would also make the salvage and loot from these ships to advanced for our ships to use. Reverse engineering could possibly learn some new stuff from them possibly making tech 3 modules. But there should be major drawbacks to using them. If you could possibly even use them, if you don't have the right module on the right racial ship your ship does not survive the trip through the eve gate.

The final step would be if you do go through the eve gate and if you get podded on the other side of the EVE gate your char is instantly bio-massed. There are no clone relays there so there is no way for your clone to get back to a clone vat. This could be circumvented by bringing a portable clone vat in one of the larger ships.


If CCP were to do a EvE gate event take some ques from Blizz and their opening of AQ event back in vanilla.

Except for death.

I'm in.
