EVE General Discussion

bumper spacecars

Happened to me may times, them shipboxes are a whole world on their own. Now days make sure I move around a little if I am 0m from an object.

/c

Wouldn't the alternative to bumping be damage?

The problem is a ship is placed so near a stationary object in the first place (I was here first, etc). A couple situations that come to mind are pulling caps from SMAs in a crowded forcefield, and warping to a bookmark that was made with a smaller ship.

EVE is already capable of adjusting warp collapses based on the destination, like bubbles, and also based on your ship and skills, like mass and capacitor. I think the solution you're looking for is a collision sphere check against stationary objects at the warp destination, but that seems extreme to me.

I lived in a POS for a while, with several capitals. Not supers, but I learned not to arrange POS modules into cap traps, and why caps need default warp distances. Sometimes staggered from each other.

My only experience with supers is on Sisi, when we were given titans in the redeeming system recently. At one point I had four titans parked at a large POS with several other titans. I had to scout my warp-ins with a character in an interceptor, and from different directions. It was dicey, but I know it's possible.

It's also possible to use bump mechanics to your benefit. Removing the risk of capital bumps isn't just a nerf, it's more like kid gloves, don't you think?

It takes at least 10-20 minutes for a ship to reach 0 m/s after the UI shows 0 m/s (rounding). However, the ship doesn't move very far in that time.

It is common for the ship to suddenly appear to move upon reaching real 0 m/s, because the client doesn't know which direction to point the ship when there is no velocity vector.

This behaviour can be demonstrated with any ship.

I hate to be the person to tell you, but yes. You did, and they will.

If this is surprising and disappointing, I'm sure that one of us will help you get rid of them.

It might be a raw deal and unforgiving, but you'll have to account for randomized logoff directions with more buffer.

I have multiple supers floating in a POS because I'm kinda space rich so this issue concerns me as well.

please tell me how I'm playing the game wrong by having more isk than most of you plebs will ever see

this a valid complaint to an issue that really does need to be addressed. people don't grind up 20b+ ships to lose them to ****** physics

Question: I know when I log a carrier into a POS it appears 1000000 km off and warps to the POS. Do Supers do the same thing?

If so:

Ive noticed that Titans that are moving, but intersecting, bump very slowly. I'm wondering if the game treats bumping differently with stationary ships than with ships that are moving. That is:

You log in your Titans. They warp to the POS, and apparently come to rest. But they are not truly at rest, the speed is still a tiny bit above zero. As such, the game used one set of bumping rules. But eventually, they truly come to rest, and a different set of rules cut in, and off they go.

Uh huh. Can afford to grind for multiple 20b+ ships but can't afford the "grind" involved in setting up and fuelling more than one POS, for example.

Please, I would put "omg fix the #$^$# physics engine" way down on the list of stuff that needs to be fixed in this game, possibly just below WIS. This complaint amounts to basically "please re-code the game because I am lazy".

Confirmed. Last few days i saw this bumps few times (supers as well titans).
