Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Remember when we were all young and angry teenagers??

Every shooter game was fair game and sometines still is. So there I am young and angry fighting hormones and murdering virtual folks or aliens or zombies and there comes along that game that was so cool and introduced a new kind of death-match.

What am I babbleing about again? Unreal Tournament

And that new death-match thing? Instagib-match.

So you spawn somewhere on the map and only have one rifle and kills someone immediatly with one shot.

And what's that having to do with EVE?

I will leave that up to your imagination..

Thing is,
if you are so desperate for killmails we should make stasis webbifiers only have 100% effect on speed, ditch all scrams and make long point stop any propulsion, be it and afterburner or microwarpdrive.

One point so rule them all and one web so that tracking isn't so hard anymore. Dreads have a hard time as it is, I know and I almost feel for you.

Just let us ditch all that fighting and piloting and make EVE only about killmails. Killmails will determine who stays and who leaves to play world of daftcraft.

Piloting a ship on your lawn is an initiative to stagnation. Fleet Commanders all over EVE rejoice that our bumblebees no long have to stay up all night with tidy and the legion that let to this pandemic is finally over.

Hmm, I think there was a pun somewhere.. If there is, I am sorry wasn't meant to be..

This Is what we really need

Hey Fozzie,

Here's a quick idea. Why not give the HICs a "bastion mode"-like feature item. Interdiction mode - this will allow you to have a greater bubble range, higher resists but it stops your ship, decreases sensor strength, damage or rof

On the other hand you could make the HIC itself a bit more dps-ish and agile for smaller fleets.

That would probably help more than the current features and might be good thing considering the soonTM changes and upcoming more frequent cap battles.

The ability to keep a jump freighter from jumping through seems reasonable based on the jump and cyno escape scenario. If this ability is to wonk up on that escape route, then I'd like to point out you've already given JF one free pass. If they get a second free pass I would like to hear the reasoning behind it.

For the guys complaining about the dps role on a HIC - I'd like to point out that they have uses other than pointing supers in epic battles. They are used in wh space a great deal, LS pirate gate camps and a good deal in HS warfare. I'm not advocating any particular use of the HIC over the other, but I think a lot of folks are only seeing it from their personal use point of view.

I'll throw this out there for thought.... the HICs primary role isn't pointing supers at this point in the game. There aren't that many battles that involve supers right now. They are pirmarily used in LS/HS gate camps. If you want to say pointing supers is the major role of the HIC then I suggest you undock your supers and put your ships where your mouth is, until then I would prefer CCP to focus HIC attributes on the way it is currently being used.

Or you can overheat it before activation when the situation tells you that you may have to deagro in emergency.

They're called Sabres :)

We need to think of Interdictors as more than just specialized warp disruption ships.

Interdiction : An action to divert, disrupt, delay, or destroy the enemy
So with that in mind here's an idea to really mix things up.

*Rename "Warp Disruption Field Generator" to simply "Interdiction Field Generator"
*Remove all movement penalties from having a field active

Now we need to add some new scripts !!!! Heres some ideas :

*Interdiction field Generator does nothing with no script loaded

* Warp Disruption Field Script - same effect as the Warp Disruption Field Generator has now with no script loaded

* Focused Warp Disruption Script - Same as currently

* STASIS FIELD SCRIPT - stasis webs everything inside the field

* ANTI STASIS FIELD SCRIPT - this field will prevent any ship inside from being webbed. However will also prevent ships from inside the field from using their own stasis web modules.

* FOCUSED ANTI STASIS SCRIPT - prevents a single ship from being webbed

* DECLOAKING SCRIPT - Creates a field that decloaks and prevents cloaking within the field

* INVULNERABILITY FIELD SCRIPT - Like a POS bubble, prevents targeting of ships inside the field, also prevents ships/drones inside from targeting ships outside. The HIC remains targetable for ships inside and outside the field. (this can basically force an enemy gang to target the HIC, whilst his own gang can regroup, recharge and recover)

* ELECTRONIC SCREENING SCRIPT - all ships inside the field are immune to all forms of ECM. Ships inside the field are also prevented from using their own ECM.

* FOCUSED ELECTRONIC SCREENING SCRIPT - makes a single ship immune to ECM

* ENERGY DESTABILIZATION FIELD - Prevents all forms of energy transfer inside the field (Energy Neuts, Energy Transfer, and NOS modules do not work for ships inside the field), Ships inside the field are immune to being Neuted/NOS/Energy Transfer from outside the field.


well thats my wet dream for heavy interdictors :D

That's kind of true, but it's pretty easy to 2 shot a sabre if you want to and ship for it. I think we can all agree that if you were to put a HIC size tank on a sabre you would have one truely over powered broken ship.

Sabre would be more like aqua man for me. Got some nifty super powers, but at the end of the day he isn't going to toe-to-toe brawl you into the dirt.

This sounds like a coding nightmare with more bugs than a bee farm

What we need is for people to stop asking for "I win" buttons. People escaping you is not a problem.
