As long as there are resources to fight over, there will always be pvp. Want more pvp, introduce more valuable resources.

I want to see badgers get blown up as much as you do. What do you think about allowing aggressors to follow ships through the hyperspace window that they open while the ship is in hyperspace? If a ship exited hyperspace within a bubble, that could also be problematic.

Thoughts on HICs running system wide anti-cyno fields? Anti-cyno upgrades for the IHUB or arrays for any pos?

That'd work, if you know, they didn't jump from a non-descript location like a random moon or deadspace bookmark.

But, if the warping player is being hunted by players with combat probes, the WH won't show up.

If the player made WH showed up with combat probes it -might- work. But you never know if you're following that Indy that warped out or a pvp fit BS into nullsec, and people would whine about that then until CCP adds the name of the opener and the sec level of the destination making PvP too easy.

Because people will ***** about anything for PvP that doesn't require them to orbit a gate for hours on end with a warp disruption bubble going. Not counting blob/gang fight of course.

Nothing exists in between systems and it would require CCP wasting time and money implementing servers to handle some sort of area between systems.

You are absolutely correct in your last statement.

I am calling the opening a "hyperspace window". Making it a scannable signature would be fine with me and if someone wanted to enter it, they would have to take the same risk as jumping through a K162 wh. Who knows what's on the other side or where it is, but if they survive, they will have a story to tell. I was originally thinking that they would have to scan the ship out and warp to it. The scan would show the ship type and they would see it if they landed before it entered the window. Even if they saw an industrial, it could be a trap with the indy traveling to his friends between systems or into null sec. The hunter and the trap, the cat and the mouse, the flight and the pursuit.

PS: Grath, you sound like your claiming to be a Titan pilot. If the wikis are wrong, and EFT is wrong, and everyone that is posting all over the internet is wrong about the DD damage, why are you still failing to provide the "correct" answer? .. So I am even looking at the Judgement DD in game and it says EM damage: 2 mil HP. So, if your are a true Titan engineer, and I am a theoretical Titan engineer, it seems that you should just hand over your Titan to me. Too bad I don't have the skills to fly it or I would be x bil ISK richer right now. Oooh, so owned Grath, ooh, boo yah [doing the "owned you" dance] Who's the fool now, Grathboy, et all? I really hope that all Titan pilots know the real damage of their DD's before jumping into their Titan. lol. Seriously, you are trying to counter my ideas with an issue that is only barely related to the main topic of this thread, even though I am right. I am pretty sure that I just schooled you to deep humility .. swallow hard.

The reason he's "not providing the correct answer" is because it lets mouthbreathers like you shoot yourselves in the face.

Like you did.

Or because he didn't know it. If his case was that T1 caps can survive a single DD, an increase in damage to 3 mil HP damage only hurts his case. And even if a cap could survive a single DD, there ain't no way it could survive two DD's, thus doing little for the argument that caps can survive the first wave of a sufficiently large Titan fleet volley. So while I was unaware of the Doomsday damage increase of 10% per level, I was right on the damage being at least and at base 2 mil, and I was right about the capitals being easily alpha'd by Doomsdays Devices. And I was right about the damage having little to do with my ideas and therefore not challenging them in the slightest manner. At least Lord Zim knows the correct answer and that after skills, the DD is 50% more damage (2 mil HP turns into 3 mil HP).

If the enemy fields two-three times more titans that your fielded regular capital count, you're doing your enemy selection wrong.

Two random DDs – of course not (or with 3% hull remaining). Two determined damage types – fit 2 + 2 hardeners and LG slaves and you're here. Want to cheat death – pay the price. If you're lucky with overheating, you even can tank 3 of them. But considering titans' scanres, you're sure to be lucky, so may not even need the slaveset.

I...

I'm actually stunned that you're taking this approach.


Ok, so lets back up top basic game mechanics before we get into something quite as complex as Titans and DD's.


How is damage applied in EVE? It sounds silly but I'm asking anyway. Lets for instance, take and Archon, and assume it has a standard t2 fit, and trimarks. How many hit points does it have, and say its my Erebus firing at it, which has titan 5 and Doomsday 5. How many points of damage will it take, and how many hit points did it start with, assuming its in fleet and has Legion bonuses?


Now, while you mull it all over I'll spit some nerd math out here that even a simple man such as yourself can follow. In this configuration the Archon has 3.4 million hit points, so right out of the box, we see that even if it had 0 Thermal resistance, it would still have over 400,000 hp left after a single DD, but thats not the case.

You see the Archon actually rides with 88% Thermal resistance and so of that initial 3 million hit point volley 2,640,00. will be outright absorbed and deflected by the stout tank on said Archon.

So whats the final tally on its actual damage taken from a DD? (its around 400k points, I'll let you figure out exactly how many DD"s a single gang bonuses archon can tank but just to give you a heads up its a lot).

Are we good here or do you need more of a chance to show off how smart you're not?

Do we need to keep doing this or are you satisfied that you know jack **** about what you're talking about here
