I was rewatching eve trailers (because spaceships go boom) and realized how dramatic it is to see ships warp in. I thought it would be cool to make mission rats warp-in instead of them appearing out of nowhere magically. The belt rats do warp-in if i recall correctly.

Might be a stupid idea, but still a cool little addition nonetheless imo.

And it's really irritating when they do that, you have to sit there and try and lock them for 6-7 seconds while they get their fat ass out of warp.

Also most missions are the "go here and kill ****" type where you go somewhere that some NPC's already are, then you kill them like the brutal sadistic mass murdering monster that you are.

I guess you could use a warpin for reinforcement groups, but since you are not supposed to be able to warp directly into deadspace pockets anyway.....

I think it would be cool for about 5 seconds the first time till you realized it takes 5-10 seconds for each group to come out of warp even when they seem they have come to a complete stop. Then it's time to go to the forums and ask for it to be removed.

this basically. more wait time. And depending on your settings you won't see much. I zoom out for example. just another red on screen whether they just pop up or warp in.

so they decloak basicly....

Warping in could be good, but simply decloacking would be more realistic, I agree for this idea.

Asked for this several times before, so I have no idea how likely it will be we see anything come of it, but I agree.

Jump, warp, decoak, etc effect. Any of them would honestly be better than the "magic crazy sorcery" appearing crap. It makes even less sense that belt rats warp on/off field yet mission and plex rats don't.

Gawd no. Try belt ratting for a couple of hours and see if you still want this Smile

hmm.. or have them undock from pirate stations/ asteroid bases... but in a opt in zoomed in cinematic fashion

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Nah, we at CCP will continue to allow PVE to languish in utter mundanity.

Obviously they are warping with use of an acceleration gate, the same way you did to get there to begin with also.
