Ok, so this is an idea that adds NOTHING to the game, other than providing players with entertaining ship maneuvers (that have no effect on the game), but would be an excitement/taunting/rejoicing function.

Bear in mind, it is like /dance but for space ships, and not likely meant for perverted night elf grinding (lol)


Some of these will be pretty obvious what they do, so I'm not going to explain some of them.

/backflip
/frontflip
/barrelroll
/capdump - dumps all your cap and does a pretty light show in a large radious around your ship. This one can get you killed, so be careful
/physics - your ship engages certain thrusters and goes into a crazy, uncontrolled spin, for a short duration.


Yes, these are pretty stupid, but honestly, if I had a pretty space ship and just won a fight, I'd be showboating..

Amusing. I'd still rather approach a light drone in a cruiser+ to ship spin in space.

Baboli's trick is pretty sweet:)

And while i am always for trolling the enemy (my doctrine ships are called left shark and right shark forgod'ssake) I am not sure i wish ccp to spend dev cycles on this... Cool as though it is...

/congafleet - does what it says on the tin. all ships in fleet are formed up into a conga line behind the FC.

Yeah, that one is pretty easy to do already.. You can even put ships in line based on speed. Low in the front, fast in the back, then pump each other until the whole fleet is going faster, lol

No showboating mechanic would be complete without the inclusion of /teabag.

There needs to be risk involved. Such as your ship ripping in half while doing a rad back flip. Or accidentally crashing your thanatos into a station, that wouldn't have the big of consequences anyways.

That's not useless superpower.

What if you are in autocannon/missile ship and trying to kill an active ship with a gazillion noses?
Completely gamebreaking Lol

I have done conga fleet while bashing a TPPH... Started orbitting the tower in my machariel and had people line up on the person ahead of them... It quickly became apperant who was doing the wrong person ahead of them:)

Was pretty fun!

Can you imagine the trolling in fleetfights? Headshooting the enemy fc followed by massive /barrelrolls?

You know what, signed. I'm pretty much okay with this idea.

And, if I may, when you do the /barrelroll one, we need a popup with some frog saying "Do a barrel roll!" to popup, just for funsies.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."
