Player Features and Ideas Discussion

as it is now, you cant jump to a another system, unless you use cyno, gates or wormhole. But the most logical way to move around from system to system, is to align to the star of the system you want to og to and jump. Im not sure why CCP havent used that, but it would open up much more possibilities.

Also a suggestion to New form of scanning, where you do long range scanning, scanning for unvisible gravitypulls or lights getting bent by either a black hole or a very faint star thats not visible for the naked eye. Or other unkown signals far away... When you got a somewhat good pinpoint you get a option to jump to that location and when arrived, you need to do "short range" scan (the shite we always had) and accurately pinpoint the signal. That would be "Exploration"....

And how does one stop you from jumping to, say, the sun in ya0?

This is a 2020 idea but I like it because I had it too.

If there are ever new systems added to EVE this is the way it should be done.

Have a ship which is able to:
-scan new starsystems
-jump to them without a cyno
-cartograph them
-build an information package to trade to other players so they can make the jump.
-Reveal the system to the rest of EVE when a player owned stargate is connected to the empire and the system is 100% cartographed.

Also a module that lets ships not only capitals to do a jump without a cyno would be fun.
But it should have serious drawbacks like:
-manual jumpcalculation (vector and range based on the ships position and the position of the target.)
-100% capacitor usage+ 100% increased fuel consumption
-with increasing range jumptarget deviation should increase (ships that were 10km apart before the jump with same range and vector could come out on the same position and bump like crazy or they come out 1au away from each other.
- - at that point I even would allow infinte jumpdistance for three reasons
- - -1. fatigue on a 100ly jump is insane
- - -2. fuelconsumption and cargo limitation will prevent most ships to make very large jumps.
- - -3. on 100ly jumptarget deviation could be enough to send you to a differant system.( fun on coms if you ask where the other titan is and he is in the wrong system getting killed.)

Oh and for all the people who want to know what happens if you jump into a sun or planet ,I go with then you die and the sun gets the killmail , but let's be fair the amount of volume occupied by planets in the volume of space is nearly 0%. So that would be bad luck

Well the freedom to let you travel anywhere, unless you make a wall of old goonwaffe wrecks, inbetwene point A and B... But again, i assume spacetravel "use" techonolgy to bend time and Space itself to instafly from point A and B.
And in the view of the pvp players that really wants to kill someone before they jump, ill refere to the current mechanics when using jumpdrive... u cant stop them

Me like :)

Yes, lots of fun that is.

Capitals do not need more autonomy

And your point is?

Using gates or what do you mean?

I think it's neat, good for moving around 'safe' space and alts are only needed to scout for neuts/reds but jumping onto a star is DANGEROUS as hell if there are reds around, I'd say only let jumping be this way, bridges should need to be onto a cyno if something like this happens, but it seems neat.
