Make ship collisions cause damage based on real world physics. That way I can slam an inexpensive frigate in to a freighter, releasing enough energy to rival the largest nuclear warhead, punching a hole through the freighter & destroying it!

PLEASE DO THIS CCP!

Minerbumping is emergent gameplay, miners already have all the counters they need but are too scared to spend their hard earned isk on ganking, wardeccing or hiring mercs.

Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

I am a miner. When it comes to the actual mechanic of bumping, I see no reason to change it. The system works fine as it is, and I disagree with anyone who whines or complains about needing an anchor mod or some other gameplay change.

Highsec is worth fighting for.

By choosing to mine in New Order systems, highsec miners have agreed to follow the New Halaima Code of Conduct.  www.minerbumping.com

First off, I AM a miner, and I have to agree that miner bumping is a valid tactic.

That said, I have to say that the bumping mechanics in Eve need a good dose of work with an eye towards the physics. Why is it that if I shoot a slug of lead at your shields they will take damage, but if I ram my interceptor into your 940,000,000 kg freighter at a couple of miles per second that we just bounce off harmlessly? Ships should take shield / armor / hull damage from ramming on some formula based on their mass and speed at impact.

Further - until the shields are down, NO alteration of speed or course should occur - that is why we have SHIELDS. They take the damage so that the kinetic energy of impact is not transferred to your armor / hull.

For the mathematically inclined - an XL lead charge, shot by a POS battery - is 0.125 m3 of lead, with a mass of 1,417 Kg (lead is 11,340 kg / m3) accelerated to huge velocity (at a minimum, it is 300Km range divided by firing time of 15s = at least 20Km/sec). Kinetic energy is related to the square of the velocity (E = 1/2m V^2) - so that XL lead charge is carrying a load of kinetic energy and doesn't change my course or speed one bit on impact with my shields. A little time with a web calculator shows this impact is the equivalent of an explosion of 67 TONS of TNT on my shields - no course or speed change at all, but one hell of a lot of shield damage.

Meanwhile, my stiletto (mass 1,100,000 kg) traveling at 1,500 M/Sec rams into you (kinetic energy equivalent 295 tons of TNT), does no shield damage whatsoever, but sends you off into oblivion by transferring a few hundred M/Sec over to you.

Ramming is a valid tactic, but it makes no sense to have the rammer and victim take no damage from the impact.

In addition to my previous post if you remove ways of affecting highsec players without adding others you make the game itself less interesting. Look at the forum threads and the two opposing websites, something as simple as bumping has spawned as examples of this. Without this simple mechanic, bumping, none of that would have happened and highsec would be that much more dull. Ask yourself this CCP, "do I really want to remove a key tool in creating content for my game just to appease a minority of loud whiners?"



I read "Dont take away our easy completely no risk way of exploiting High sec players as we lack the ability to do so in a legitimate way"

Thats the real issue here and no other. So many long winded aurguments when this is the only real reason.


You read wrong, try actually making a counter argument instead of being insulting.
