There is no purpose for the ship. Sure in your perfect little fantasy people actualy care about the other ships around a target. But in a real fight, or rather any fight all anyone is gonna care about is "Did i kill it" so i shot a mimic ship. Your eally think im not gonna kill it then shoot the next target?

In high sec it wont matter. In low sec it wont matter. in null it still wont matter.

If you need an escort ship that looks bigger then it is. Then the people attacking you can take out or completely ignore your escort. Having one extra ship the LOOKS bigger wont change that.

the stupid meter is broken with this one.

If you haven't noticed; it would bring new and innovative methods of fighting in the sandbox of eve.

This thread is ridiculous. OP suggests some ship that can mislead an opponent into thinking it's something else. Rest: "but but CONCORD, but but suicide gankers don't care"...

There is more to EVE than ganks, there is more to ganks than hisec suicide ganks, mkay?

Also damn, this lore-mongering is out of control.

I'm pretty sure it would actually just bring new ways to avoid fights to be honest.

Nobody will ever take a fair fight. If they see you with a big pile of these things pretending to be carriers or logistics or something like that, chances are they'll just go elsewhere.

no it wont. You might think it will. But it wont. Its a stupid idea. No one wants it. There is no need for it.

stealth Q-ship thread detected


oh and JSYK: if Q-ships are ever implemented into the game, their #1 use will be for gankers to sneak up on unsuspecting industrialists.




this basically. Only they'd want to hide really.


Well that and in the many q-ship threads posted before...it has been established they weren't a stunning success story. this even in wwII where all they had was ping, hearing boat screws and visual target verification. And well those sea captains...well kind of knew their boats to know something was off.
