Player Features and Ideas Discussion

No EWAR mod besides ECM is chance-based unless you're in falloff, and to be honest, I don't feel EVE needs more RNG stuff than it already has.

Also, as I've said in the similar thread already, warp disruption in EVE is what "in combat" flag in other games is, just more involved. I definitely don't see how it's a good idea to demand every single gang with no exception to bring specialized ship just to make proper combat happen, not to mention smaller gangs and soloists who don't have manpower to spare.

No.

The idea of a newbie in a T1 frigate tackling a ship a thousand times more expensive than their own is pretty much a central theme of every out of game recruitment advert I've ever seen. Why do you want that entire concept removed?

EWAR and ECM are not interchangeable

How about no ... ?

Srly

You can still hold them; you would just need to work a little harder at it.

What could be interesting would be to give points and scrams an actual usable falloff. It could allow people that are trying to kite for instance, the decision to potentially let their prey go, but if they open up the distance another couple km, they will take less damage from the brawler they are trying to kill. On the flip side, it could allow a brawler to shut off the kiters MWD for a portion of it's cycle since the next cycle could miss.

The only part of the design I don't like about points and scrams is how binary it is. You are either in range, or you are not. Even when you overheat, you are either in range, or you are not.

I feel the same about webs as well.

I'd rather see disruptors increased to two points, scramblers increased to three points, and interdiction bubbles only be worth a single point.

It would be reasonable to have a single WCS defeat a bubble. Anchored bubbles could have two points perhaps.

The easiness of dictor bubbling has made people really lazy, to the point that many players seem to have forgotten the old-fashioned skill of getting points on people. They are also rather large, and have a big effect for a small price.

Nowadays, fast tackle is all about defeating mwd+cloak maneuvers, which is a dumb artifact resulting from CCP allowing for spawn in zones to be the primary venue for conflict between players. Tackling is an important role, and needs to be treated as such.



In a perfect world, warping or cynoing wouldn't use capacitor, but another depleteable reservoir that recharges slowly over time. Area of effect weapons or even (I wish) sub-targeting (think FreeSpace 1&2 from the late 90s) could deplete that reservoir. Big ships and industrial ships could have deeper reservoirs, and recharge faster over time. Pared down ships like interceptors are naturally interdiction immune, but might have to wait longer between warps like other frigates. This would give other fast ships more time to catch up with them. (Yes, this is aimed square at slippery petes and all those ships hanging out at 300km from the gate.)

I look forward to the day they remove a lot of these 1 trick pony modules and give us the ability to target different parts of a ship. Like target the engines to slow them down. Target their warp drive to prevent them from warping. Target their weapons. Target their sensors. Stuff like that. Instead of 1 target lock and multiple modules to do different things. Have to choose what I want to shoot on the ship.

Imagine going into a 1v1 fight. What would you shoot at first on their ship? Weapons, propulsion, warp drive, sensors? Maybe that would give reason to ungroup weapons. Guns 1 and 2 fire on their sensors. Guns 3 and 4 target their engines. Guns 5, 6, 7 and 8 target their weapons.

I saw or heard a dev mention it not long ago.

How are you going to shoot up my warp core through shields, armour and hull that can survive a doomsday?
