What if there was a dead end system that you could only enter in your pod.

The system has no celestials, just a giant volcano like 100km off gate.

And once you enter this system, you are automatically placed inside of a racial shuttle.

Like other shuttles, these shuttles have no guns or mods.

But they are titan sized.

And the goal of this system is to bump each other into the volcano.

Obviously being bumped into a space volcano means both your ship and pod die.

So see, it will be very high stakes and exciting.

Maybe tie it to like faction warfare. Like a successful volcano bump gives 10k faction LP.

Oh, and the best part? Randomly, once per hour the volcano erupts and lava moves from the volcano to the gate at a rate of 1000 km\s. Which means pilots would have a maximum of like a minute and a half to get out of the system before they get lava'd.

Please provide constructive feedback in this thread.

You really should introduce me to your supplier of hallucinogenic substances.

Embers Children is recruiting carefully selected pilots who like wormholes, green killboards and the sweet taste of tears. You can convo me in game or join the chat "TOHA Lounge".

I can already feel some people are concerned about the theme park nature of the volcano mechanic and I sort of agree... I considered player built deployable volcanoes but like, that doesn't make a great deal of sense to me.

This is a bad idea. Instead you should allow any shiptype, all modules are disabled upon entering the system. Also instead of a volcano, can we a have a black hole to keep with the whole spaceship thing?

I disagree about bringing your own ship. Ships need to be super big and relatively fast or else there is no way anyone gets bumped 100km.

The black hole thing is brilliant tho! I think we could compromise by putting the volcanos IN the black holes. The lava can come out of the black hole.

Sort of like a red hole.

You could very easily modify this suggestion to satisfy the space sim realists, you know those barbie online wannabies crying about WIS.

Make it a supermassive blackhole with a pulsar or something that will irradiate the entire system every so often like you said originally.

This idea is going places. Good luck.

OK what about THIS

100KM in any direction from the gate is BLACK HOLE territory. Literally a system that is 100km of gate grid and a black hole.

So all you need to do is bump someone 100KM off the gate in any direction and they die.

And then it can do the periodic PULSAR to irradiate the entire system.

The LP mechanic can revolve around some sort of research goal...

Like lets say there is a NPC item in a can like 93km off the gate. You can go and try and loot it but then when you do, you are a prime bump target.

Then you need to go put the item in a can on the OTHER side of the grid, that is also 93km from the gate.

Then you can turn in the mission. So in order to complete the mission you are a prime bumping target twice.

These missions to black hole system can originate from mission agents in that solar system I guess.

I am trying to see how we can still keep the volcano in this feature, but I will admit, it is becoming difficult.

I am glad to see everyone's enthusiasm but lets keep comments on topic so we can really tighten this one up.

If you are not in favor of new mini-game mechanics in eve that is OK, but I would ask that you, Scuzzy Logic, do not malign my personal character with these baseless accusations on the eve forum of record.
