A suggestion for a new drone.
There is an interesting mechanic where out of corp characters are used for griefing and ganking with absolutely no consequences other than the loss of a cheap ship can and does occur.

This is somewhat against the whole risk reward mechanic of the game.

So may I introduce the Predator.

When a kill occurs a flag is placed on the killers client and a kill right is issued.

A predator drone may then be purchased in exchange for a significant bounty.

The predator is then launched. It can only be launched if you own the kill right.

It tracks and traces all alts connected to the ip address or client machine and identifies them. Reporting back to the launcher of the drone, those in space, it destroys, those in station, it gives a tracking agent report on.

This enables bounties or kill orders with mercenaries to be placed.

The end of Risk free Ganking and an opportunity for players to get retribution..

Going to be VERY popular and Very Very unpopular at the same time..........Twisted

It should also track the names of their family members. House address and bank account details. Besides for the fact that characters in the account are "different people". What if you share a house or apartment block with other EvE players?

Silly idea. Learn to metagame and be your own 'predator drone'. Stop being lazy.

Well if they share a machine, I guess then actions and consequences apply too?


I hardly think this is going to be popular with gankers, I am sure you can think of a better reason not to like it if you put a little effort in?

But I am sure players knowing who screwed up their day for lols, is so overpowered.What?

I'll support the end of risk free ganking if and only if risk free carebearing is also made inviable.

EVE is what happens when the rule of law does not apply and Darwinism is allowed to run freely.
