One of the best ideas I have heard in a long time!
Many +1's
And as for the devs responding, either they are working in secret and we will hear of Dinsdales idea at fanfest, or well...they just have not responded. Which is a pure shame. This idea is unbelievably fresh!

Good job Dinsdale!

NOTE: This is a good indication they may be taking it seriously and working on it in secret: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_GZQzrBaKA

Space tornadoes have been spotted before in eve - check out 3:15 in this video from 2009 (I think the actual video is even older than this by several years).

True, I have heard of the effect before. But the latest video was from March of this year on SiSi...just leads me to believe that there may be a possibility, if ever remote, they may be working on something like this idea. It would be rather refreshing and something you could actually call a feature in the "expansion".

If anything I find it a good idea to keep this thread alive and kicking in the hopes we could get a Dev opinion on it soon(TM).

This is one of the best ideas I've ever read in this form. +1.

I am wondering why no comment from a dev yet? It would be nice to know what's possible?

The more time that goes by, the more I think if CCP integrates this into any game, it will be more likely in Valkyrie. I think it would be a better fit. As for dev's posting in this thread, I would not bet on it. One of the CSM's presented it to the dev's, and they said they were aware of it. That was some months ago.

Given that CCP has now demonstrated that they have the coding capability to create zones of non-scanability, how about creating stuff like static nebula's and gas clouds that negate the ability to scan in OR out. Where there is a perpetual warp disruption field in place.

Large areas, thousands of km across, where fleets can hide, or even get lost in.
Put items/sites of value in in them though, where people REALLY have to explore, where you operate by your wits, overview and luck.

Some place that while it is easy to hide in, be it someone with evil or benign intentions, but also makes it very difficult to hunt someone down in the cloud.

I always imagined some kind of area like we saw in the Wrath of Khan, would be a very interesting to spend a few hours, or longer, in.

Perfect intel and the inability to hide anywhere is a bit annoying.

I chose to believe that Dinsdale was the first to dare to put this idea on the forums. Smile

And quite honestly, it's good that he did it, if his OP had been written badly that idea might just have been trolled to death and burried under mountains of flames.

If anyone from this thread is going to fanfest I demand that you find the nearest dev and then RUN at him/her - rugby tackle them to the ground then proceed to administer intense psychological warfare, for example by making them watch ten minutes of Britain's Got Talent - or thirty seconds of the 'X-Factor' until they agree to return to the office and make this happen.

Go for maximum effect though, make them watch a montage of the sob-story acts...

Reported for instigating of RL violence against devs.

To be clear: I reported it to Ripard since he is astoundingly effective in countering psychological torture attempts.

Actually, it was.
At least with the 1st post.
I think a 2nd flame post may have been deleted by the poster as well, but my memory is hazy on that.
I think about the 5th post Malcanis stepped up and gave his endorsement and the tide turned, and I went back to the original post and edited to basically a theme, as opposed to deep specifics.

Malcanis and I are polar opposites when it comes to the current state and future of Eve, but I do have to give him props for stepping up and I believe getting other CSM members to endorse it.

It is also nice to see people keep resurrecting the thread, but my cynicism leads me to believe the longer CCP goes without even discussing this openly with the community, the less chance we will ever see it implemented. CCP clearly has a lot of things they have prioritized over this concept, and they only have so many game designers and developers.

They cannot tell us anything they are working on because you know, people could get excited about game they pay for and there is no place for excitement and/or fun in Eve.

I read enough of this to realize this is a bloody brilliant idea. As someone said earlier, this is what exploration should have looked like all along.

Eve tends to be really linear and formulaic. Something like this, with a huge pile of random stuff that could happen, would be an amazing addition.

I have these images in my head:

A week-old noob in a frigate sees this pop up on the screen. After jumping in, he/she has a pants-crapping moment while successfully outmaneuvering and evading a gang of T3s that are out hunting. Then runs into a random structure and pulls out an item worth a small fortune. Then spends an hour trying to get out again while dodging NPCs, players, and a hostile environment. A legend is started.

Or, a four-year-old player in a Command Ship flies around and finds a really nasty area of space with vicious NPCs, huge environmental damage, and a lone jetcan in the middle. He/she fights through and barely survives, opens the can, and finds a piece of scrap metal. The glorious, glorious tears.

Those are the kind of stories I'd want to hear about.

Do not forget to watch live stream tomorrow to not hear about anything even slightly similar to this feature.

The least they could do is comment in this thread and say how they feel about it.
It has been up for quite a while with no replies from the devs; maybe that says it all?
