Maybe this discussion happened already and I have not seen it.
Why cant ccp deploy a bubble around the tourney arena.
It would make things a lot simpler and have players concentrate on the fight instead of worrying about leaving the boundary of the arena. I mean, during the fight, leaving the arena is the last thing one should be worrying or thinking about.
There are warp dist. bubbles, why not just make one, only used in sisi and in AT with the certain spherical range.

That'd be something I'd love to see.

It would also be cool if the bubble had a redish glow to it. And if or when a ship goes out of boundry the bubble would make the ship explode and the explosion would be twice the amount of a regular ship explosion. I mean, it its the AT so why not do this.
Its better than having a nerd CCP stand there in space and shoot people who go out.

That would look terrible on the stream. Bubble graphics would be great for the teams but not the spectators.

I personally would not enjoy having to look through a bubble every time I zoom out. Even the tactical display and weapon range bubbles are a bit distracting. But their usefulness out-weighs the distractions.

The idea of the tournament is to showcase skills is you cant keep an eye on where you are dont fly in the tourney.

Are you f'en serious.
I think skills do not include the idea of following how far you are from the center of the arena. The concept of following how far you are from it is just absurd. Yeah, you need skills, but for what. Its called a tournament for a reason, its to compete against other pilots and not the damn center of the arena.

With or without the bubble test will still fly out of bounds though so clearly skill has something to do with it.

This is the only way to stop full coward set-ups of fast cruisers running away while firing. If we didnt have the bubble then the tourney would be boring as hell.

What about a red ring in space that you can turn on or off just so you can see where you are in relation to the edge.

I mean we are in space ships surely there is a sensor for that on my enyo :)

a POS bubble you just bump into and are still in the arena...
no this will not do; how else will we see the entire Hydra team fly out of bounds?
