I'm feeling so dirty, but can't intentionally make ships dirty...

People can clean their ships, but I can't annoy them with it.

There are no AoE RustBombs, no DirtMissiles, nothing.


That should be a thing!

It breaks nothing ...
... its effects can be removed by a single click ...
... and it can be used for extorting money from the most anal of pilots.

We have fireworks, but no dirtbombs.

Maybe fireworks should add dirt to a ship, over time?

EMERGENT GAMEPLAY ! ... well, a tiny bit.


That's all already. Not really a flaw, not really an oversight,
but giving people the ability to spread dirt would add another small and funny thing to do.


It could also be used to trick people into believing a ship has been used for a while already ...
... whatever that might be worth.


Thanks !


Fly dirty! :)

although I can see this being used to troll anyone squeamish about the dirt on their ship.....

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

Was there supposed to be another way to use this?

I'd prefer "dirty areas" that accumulate dirt on your ship more quickly. For instance ships in null get dirtier 2x as quickly as high sec.

I feel like this would just take away from the diet build up and make it no different than a skin

Republic Fleet loyalty point store should sell missiles. Rust missiles.

Thermal damage? No, rust damage!
Explosive damage? No, dirt damage!
Kinetic damage? No, grime damage!
Maybe throw in a little snow just to top it off and give it a wintery feel.

Cleaning rust and dirt off of Minnmitar hulls should come with a 1% chance of the cleaning crew accidentally junking your entire ship.

[Clicks clean]
[Popup= Sorry, but the cleaning crew mistook your Minnmitar ship for a heap of scrap metal and jettisoned it with the trash. The insurance agent assures me you'll get a full reimbursement as soon as she stops laughing at your expense.]

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Someone suggested a counter... having snowballs clean the ship.

MUDFIGHTS !!!

That's something totally for logi ships. And if someone lets their ship get really dirty, you can clean grief them.
