Nvm that would pose a risk for the ganker which would be totally unacceptable to the crybabies here.

No, please, no damage! I beg you! You should work for CCP, you just completely wrecked bumping. I have no idea how we can recover from this. Will quit if implemented!

oh look a merc who is just the same as a ganker but the difference is mercs pay to to shoot freighters, gankers dont.

Yes it should, I relish the thought of people using MWD frigates as 1500 tonne projectiles travelling at 2km+/s Pirate

Be careful what you wish for.

Bumping should only cause damage to the buming ship. NOT the ship being bumped. It's not the freighters fault he got bumped, so he shouldn't take damage. It's not fair to be able to damage a ship and circumvent destruction at the hands of CONCORD.

Naw a freighter can take lots of bumps. Damage for all involved or bust.

"It's not the freighter's fault he got suicide ganked"

"It's not the miner's fault they got wardec'd"

That's not really a valid arguing point. If they apply damage mechanics to bumping, then both ships need to take damage. Not that I'm in favor of damage dealing bumps, but it would have to be applied equally.

It should only apply to ships with an active prop mod. Anything other than that is unfair and unbalanced.

Crash into a parked car doing 90 mph then come back and suggest that.

Put my Ferrari in game and what you're saying will start to make sense to me. (please don't pump me full of anti matter in the wallmart parking lot for saying that)

There is. You are spending $15 a month to watch planets go past your ship, very, very slowly.

One thing to consider: How would bumping be changed? What I like: If you initiate warp, after some longish time, you will always warp, irrelevant of your velocity. Say, after two minutes.

With this change, a ship on autopilot, heading for the gate, is still just as vulnerable as now. Also, a ship being piloted can still be delayed from entering warp, giving time for proper tackle to arrive. But endlessly bumping a ship, with little recourse for the pilot, goes away.

So you are saying I can park my ship at the Jita undock, and every ship that runs into me takes damage? Cool! Will I get killmails?

Bumping has been in the game since when? Most likely the inception of the game mechanics. Did it come later? Eh, even if it did am I the only one happy that CCP is doing a code review of the really old stuff? That has to be a good sign and may help with a good many things. How much of lag in a heavily TiDi fight is caused by checks on bumping mechanics? I'm not saying I support removal of bumping, but I do support CCP revising old code to improve all aspects of this game.

No, I'm saying it's the end of the work day, I'm bored so I started trolling. I appologize. Please contact Leto for verification of my slow work day trolling. I've tried to stop on several occaisions, but I just can't.

I really don't care who does what to freighters.
