Player Features and Ideas Discussion

What they really need is a greater ranged smartbomb radius. True story.

I singled you out, because you are trying to dispute that this is a bad idea by babbling on about how you feel the CFC exploits. If you think that's the case, go start a post about it. It'e clear you don;t like the CFC as tehy play with the meta game ratehr than purely game mechanics, but that's a part of EVE. Adapt or die and all that.

I'm saying this is a bad idea because putting a ridiculous amount of power at a pricetag of 1b isk and handing it to any single individual is a stupid idea - regardless of your opinions of the goons. Let me say that again since you don't seem to get it. Regardless of your opinions of the goons.

The fact that the a null blob could afford thousands of these things while individual would only be able to afford a few is simply to show that the individuals would not be the winners in this. Again, nothing to do with the CFC or goons. Any null sec blob would be able to use these to assert absolute dominance. Most nullsec blobs have isk in the trillions, meaning they could use thousands of these. they would gain the ability to aoe welp a capital fleet. This would make people like PL and their massive supercap blobs worthless, since anyone could come along and pop the whole lot for what, less than 50b?

If you really can't see how this is a bad idea, then fair enough. But I get the feeling that the reason you are arguing has nothing to do with the idea at hand, but more to do with the fact that you want somewhere else to vent your frustration at the CFC.

He's a powerful... somethin'

This is a bad idea. It was a bad idea when DDs were... well... basically this.

See, the logic was "supercaps are so expensive it will be impossible to abuse!" Harry.

And then guess what happened.

You want to be the Guerilla scourge of the CFC right? The lone hero that stands against the tyranny of space landlords right? You don't need an uberbomb to do that. There's PLENTY of muscle you could hire for that kind of money. Just do a corp search for "mercenary"

If you think you've got enough money to single handedly wage a war on all of nullsec... Then buy a war.

I FEEL that the CFC "metagame" with deception. So, the question is: Are the CFC in this thread to discuss a proposed game mechanic or to "metagame"? Lying has its downside. People stop believing what you say.



But how does that affect someone like Harry Forever? Are you going to doomsday his Catalyst for 1 billion ISK? I think groups like Pandemic Legion wouldn't let you just walk up to one of their Nyxes and doomsday it without repercussions. And, if they did, well . . . adapt or die.

As it is now, the barrier to entry into null is a) your soul b) multiple fleets of supercapitals c) intense, well-planned, and well-executed group play d) impotence in game. (I might be missing a few.)

Shouldn't there be some risk and consequence of sticking all your eggs in one basket, or of even having so many eggs in the first place?



Empathy is a difficult meta-game to master, Lucas Kell. I commend you for trying and encourage you to continue practicing.

Sounds like the old Doomsdays if you ask me.

Right.. Except:
A. It would affect everyone. Superweapons would not be restricted to non-alliance only, and even if it were there would be alts. everyone would be at risk from them

B. It's not an "entry into null sec weapon". It's a way for people who can't PvP to get one shot at some easy kills. Once it's done, it's done. Harry wouldn't be able to "take over null2 with one of these, and if they made a weapon that could, it would be stupidly OP. Bear in mind they found the original doomsday to be OP, and that took years of training, months to build and 100b isk or there abouts.

You can attack the fact that I'm in the CFC all you want. Look at the idea though. a SUPER WEAPON, fireable by a SINGLE PERSON, which can kill a WHOLE FLEET for 1 BIL. If you don;t think that would be game breakingly OP, then you don't know EVE.

If something like this were introduced, the first thing that would happen is everyone would be bitching that the CFC sent a player to every single system in eve to blow everyone up at gates and stations and throw tantrums about how OP they are. Would be pretty funny....

Any weapon that can be used by a single player to do massive damage can be abused by many players working together in any capacity. Just the facts of life.
