well you know while we are discussing this we might as well ask when we will be allowed to hold necrofillia orgies in the corp halls in incarna with defeated enemies corpse's.....

Not a bad idea - as long as the sharks have an interdiction nullifier.

[Edt]: Nah - reconsidered - it should be off-grid autocannons.



You can't put autocannons on sharks, that is s simply ridiculous idea, they are not built to withstand the recoil of projectiles.

let's add a system-wide hitpoint replenisher structure that will be placed inside POS shields so all ships will be passively RR'ed, just to make it easier for the RR pilots to change profession into fighters.

No - actually, I was making a point because I had a discussion on offgrid-boosters in ships and modules. People constantly brought up the small gang argument in their defense, so I thought I'd check if there's demand for equally daft mechnics.

This is an excellent proposal and sets the path for a future where all activity is conducted off-grid.

It's 2012, I don't see why we even need a grid.

Off-grid shield reps should not be allowed, but 'on planet' shield generators to surround a fleet or POS withing 28 AU should be permitted. This would allow mining fleets to mine in safety, and gate camps complete protection from sentry guns. The only way to attack and destroy the generators would required DUST 514 players to befriend the planet's pygmy spear wielding indigenous life to overthrow the shield generator defense forces.

I think under the circumstances it would be fair to rep your small gang from within a pos's shields too. Obvioiusly if less than 28 AUs (so as not OP as the op said.) This way we are in similar territory to gang links. Obviously you would have to allow ships in pos shields to target, and increase their targetting range accordingly. I suggest also possibly making it so T3s do repping up to 33.3% better than their respective T2 Dedicated Lofgfistics ship, again, in line with current mechanics fro fleet boosting.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Apparently the only people who really post on the forums, are those who feel they need to dictate how other people play the game.

Could we get off-grid ECM as well?

I feel that currently ECM still gives players a small glimmer of hope as there's an actual ship in their overview that 'could' be targeted. Removing this feature would more accurately reflect the true nature of ECM, to crush all hope and make battle-hardened pilots cry for their mothers.

maybe a falcon which can jam without decloaking while in system?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

I want a wormhole generator!!!

Target it into the enemy fleet..... Fire it..... They all get teleported through into a class 6 wormhole - in the middle of a huge gas cloud with -99% armor/shield

Sorry, I'm too old school for that. Han shot first (and only), so a Jar Jar would never be possible,
