Player Features and Ideas Discussion

You mean you would like to see people get randomly concorded for forgetting they left a bubble somewhere and another guy warped in it?

I like that idea.
Would be a bit annoying though for having to slowboat some fits out though. Then again the random aggro would see the bubble vanish soon enough. Or my firepower as I just knock it out due to annoyance

This collection of space pixels has attracted my ire by inconveniencing me!
It must die to a furious flurry of kinetic fury missiles while I browse furry pictures until my eyes go blurry!


Personally though, I would like it if gates could be activated at the same distance they spat you out at.
Would solve the camping issue fast.
Its not a camp any more, its a pursuit!

I have noticed less gate camps in recent years. I've been here for 10 years, and it used to be that nearly every ls border system you'd find a GC, but recently I have been in and out of systems that in the pasy used to be heavily camped, now not so much

I think the original poster missed the point of Eve Online being an Online game. Thus your in game survival depends somewhat on using social connections to other players and your/ others corporation for intel and security.

Have someone scout for ........ just forget it, this whole thread is ******* stupid and there is a million other things that need to be worked on.

Believe a slightly veteran player that there are ways around gate camps and everything is working as intended.

Getting caught at gate camps too much?
How else do the talentless people join in?

This amounts to "wahh, CCP play the game for me, it's too hard".

The game gives players 100s of ways to avoid gate camps. MWD+cloak trick, nullified ships (to avoid bubbles), ships that can warp cloaked. wormholes that let you bypass gates, jump capable ships that let you bypass gates, friends (not included with your download, you gotta make those yourself, but very useful in breaking gate camps) and other things. Asking CCP to fix something that you giving 5 seconds of thought could fix for yourself is just lazy.

But unlikely to be added due to severe balance issues

Doubtful, again for balance issues.

Is it? Could you post where you read this please? It would seem to me pretty unlikely that this would be added to the game.


The problem with making changes so lazy people don't have to think is that we'll end up with WOW. That game requires almost no thought and is entirely designed for the mentally lazy. Personally, I play EVE *because* it requires thought. Dumbing it down for the lazies is pretty much utterly against what a lot of players want for the game.

As Jen said, there are already plenty of ways around gate camps. I've lost a 500mill isk ship to a gate camp recently and you know what? It was my own damned fault and I learned something from it. Perhaps people should see it as a learning exercise rather than just seeing it as annoying and/or unfair.

I wasn't advertising for making things easier for gate runners, nor gate campers, I was pointing out that this is not a one sided issues and that there are incredibly lazy and ignorant people on both sides.

And those were suggestions I reffered to with a hint of sarcasm taking it a step further. Nerfing gate camps for the lazy is a as bad as nerfing running them in favor of the campers (which can be seen in the stupid web bubble suggestion).

Someone putting in the effort of either side should have a clear advantage over those who don't in the opposition. So no afk avoidance for anyone, campers and runners.

Hope I got my opinion across this time.

I actually trained into a hic specifically because I missed a stabbed navy drake on a camp once. Havent missed one since

You know what would be cool? To build off another suggestion. But as for convoys, I think we should introduce a stronger NPC presence in the market.

Now now, cool your jets, it will not involve much of anything that players truely need. But what if NPCs had demands, Food, waters, colonies, some additional made up mineral types that players don't use in productions at all. And that A, either other players can trade with them for a starting cash sum, but at the same time, other npc traders will attempt to supply what ever demand is required... So what if those convoy ships, loaded with that supply traveled the universe, using the gates, and adding activity? They can travel around in both high sec, low sec, and null sec on where they are demanded. Players in turn can target them and attempt to gank them (mainly focused on low and null sec, but hey, if you don't fear the rather of concord, do the same in high sec as well!) and see what they drop! Maybe use to trade for starting cash.

I do say though, is don't make this too profitable, make it so that they break even/lose a little/gain a little. If they play the markets correctly, and this can be used as a tool to help players ease into the markets. :)

Also.... If you scream that this is a bad idea. You are most likely will be correct, as I literally just pulled this idea out of my ass, without putting to much thought into it XD

Gate camping brings some really good fights sometimes, when people having mind similar to OP, but combined with some balls, come and attempt to kill campers.

To OP: seriously, train a Loki alt w/ cov cyno and a Panther. And grow up some balls, this is not "Hello Kitty in Space".
