Warfare & Tactics

Okay, first of all it's 4:30 am here and I woke up to walk the dog and I came up with this idea and wanted to post it before I went back to bed so I am still 1/2 asleep, hence my grammar will stick so deal with it grammar Nazi's lol.


Last time I posted an idea ( new cosmetic ship skins) CCP actually listened so here's me crossing my fingers again. My thought is what are you guys thoughts about CCP adding a new piece of ship equipment or for that matter new T3 ships, destroyer through Battleship that would allow jump capabilities similar to what Jump freighters use. I am not talking about black op ships, but a more advanced form of what we already have in the game. Lets say a thrasher or a hurricane, just with jump capabilities. This would allow ships to raid enemy systems much more easily than they can at present. It would benefit smaller corps and alliances by allowing them the chance to strike deep into the heart of an enemies home systems by reeking havoc and leaving w/o having to wade through gate after gate of not only their enemy but also other enemy corporations and alliances gate camps. Certain restrictions could be imposed such as inability to be used for Faction warfare for instance.
I believe the introduction of this to the game could only benefit the game as well as the community as a whole. It would as I said allow smaller gangs which a smaller corporation are forced to use, having a viable threat to some of the large behemoths who hold huge swaths of sovereignty. Imagine a corporation member undocking in his home system thinking he is relatively safe and jumping into the next system over to do some ratting or mining and finding a 30 man mixed fleet of destroyers, cruisers, battle cruisers and battleships laying waste to every ship they encounter. Now just as this same pilot sends out the distress call and just as reinforcements arrive heading into the system to protect their friends, the raiders jump out..........

To me this idea sounds fantastic and would force new ideas and tactics into home system security. Let me know what you guys think, although to be honest I know I am going to get flamed by the usual trolls, but be nice b/c I already stated I am still 1/2 asleep.

Personaly i don't think its a good ideea , people would just jump around everywhere they need , gate camps would be more or less obsolete .. besides other things .


In my oppinion , eve has abit of " pay to win " in it when it comes to pvp in some situations . An example to this would be your avarage 1 vs 1 engagements . The player with multi-bilion assets and liquid isk can afford ( if they want but alot of people do want ) to buy the most expensive pirate implants and faction/dedspace modules for his ship then he engages in fights , obviously he would stand out with ALOT more odds of winning , add to this another fact that he migh even be using t3 booster . It is no longer about pilot skill in this situation .
Personal example i engaged a daredevil in my firetail , in my mind if the daredevil was fit with t2 modules the fight could have gone both ways and i believed i stood a good chance , but then ofc i found out he had a faction web faction ab faction scram and kept me at 15 km range while eating me up and i couldnt go near him ... so yea

Now take from that and add your ideea , see another example : You roam around in your assault frig ( example ) and find another lonely assault frigate , you engage and just as the fight starts to procede you smell a cyno burning on your side and WHOOP a hurricane shows up and you die 5 seconds later ..

How is that a good ideea ? for some fleet work .. maybe .. but even then it would be abit overpowered and wouldnt take long till everyone used it
