So I've been thinking on the Captain's bridge idea... Yeah I know you're supposedly suspended in a pod, but how do you get the damn thing in there? This must mean that there is an interior to your ship right? But then again we now have dust... so why not take the game to a whole new level? Orbital strikes are fun... but why not add another element?

BOARDING PARTIES!

Think about it... you could take a squad up into a titan to cause some internal damage. Now this would cause major lag probably.... a few fail safes and ideas would have to be involved. So... notes as follows

- Restricted to larger ships: Titan, Dreadnought, Super carrier, Carrier, Battleship and possibly Battlecruisers...

Due to the large amounts of possible ship engagements... a system to be involved for ONLY small skirmishes, a stable platform to balance lag... something I'm off track

You get my point though... We can take dust and eve to a whole new level.. let alone becoming pirates! If you don't like that guy sitting in his repped ship, go launch a boarding party at him and steal his ship! Granted... counter balance of troops/defenses on board...

Some call it rust, but I, I call it an extra layer of armor. Trust in the rust! Big guns kind of help in that situation as well...

eve...bs and above takes a year+ to do well. Has high costs associated.

Now made useless when the call goes out on the something awful forums to spam the consoles in the console gaming section.

Goons does not need the help, they have the isk and numbers to hot drop fine as is now.


Or PL, again a multigame-multiplatform crew. And I hear they can hot drop one or 2 players if motivated too as well

Or the various residents of redditt.

And the Russians crews ofc.


eve already has the external forces of the hot drop, booster alts off grid and falcon faeggotry alts to stack the deck in one's favor from small scale to large scale ops...it doesn't need crews with console gamers to stack odds from within.

I know you will say well hire mercs. Oddly enough some players feel they pay enough to run their tier 3 bs's at their boosted values in todays market. My fleet rokh jsut 2 years ago full fit possibly with cheesy 2% implants costs the same as a naked hull today. It should not need another 300+ mil to hire a merc crew to guard it as unless fail I see skilled SA console gamers roll stomping NPC ai ship defenders.
