Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Just for fun I reinstalled an ancient os and the original homeworld + newtonian physics mod( yeah not the right type, but for eve sized local space battle it sufficed). The result, split seconds of engagement followed by very long turnaround times.
Spacemarine physics ftw in comparison. I'll see if I can find a YouTube video.

About as far as a frig moves a capital. That is to say not very much at all.

Do you live in Maine? Minnesota? Or Louisiana?

Too bad your proposal did not call for using mosquitoes in that way... would finally be a good use for them besides yellow fever, malaria, and other lovely tropical diseases.

Hold on there cowboy. I said I would like to see some things in EvE be more accurate to real life.
Yes bumps is one of them because when you run a simulation on these using the speed and mass as listed in game you find significantly less movement in your targets than we get in game. And yes I do know about how MWD etc can influence these things.
I would like to see some equal and opposite reactions on ships that use guns.
I would like to see missiles behave in a slightly more realistic manor.
I would like to see instant hits taken away from all non-laser turret weapons and go to a velocity of shot versus distance calculation which would enable them to calculate the equal and opposite reaction thing.
No I do not want EvE to be 100% true to real life space physics that would not be good.


Thank you for pointing out the obvious. And anyone that had that high school level of science knowledge would also understand that an insect hitting an asteroid larger than an average house is not likely to move it very far, in fact it may not even move it enough for it to be measured by any currently available means.

@Donna

Load up SiSi and bump an orca with a frig. The op is grossly exaggerating.

Aww man, what do you have against dogs?

Ima... go back to School. Quote "The physics of the bumps are implemented correctly" .... get your Toyota and kick a 40 tons Truck of the road ... and tell me again

Physics is done with math and not with gut feelings. Feel free to calculate it by yourself how much a Machariel + MWD (mass increase) at 2000 m/s would move a Freighter. You can also do the math for a Stabber + MWD at 3000 m/s against your Orca and show us how wrong EVE is.

And now tell us how you tried to bump my stabber with your frigate and how it did not work. Also tell us how it did not work for your friend as well. The fittings for the frigs are on my killboard for reference.

Oh yeah, don't forget us hauler and mining filth that don't want it change either. You speak for yourself, not for all of us.

Yep, I champion their gameplay because their failure( the gankers and gankees) makes me feel better about my success. What have you lost that makes you so bitter? How did you lose it? Why shouldn't I support their efforts to part a fool from his/her isk? I adapt, avoid and prosper. I use the risk to increase my enjoyment, and i fully believe that candy taken from diaper wearing adults is fair game.

Passive schadenfreude best schadenfreude.
