EVE General Discussion

When I started playing Eve I thought the same as the OP, still have a feeling that these modules are just too final, which is what I like about Elite Dangerous and the system suggested for Star Citizen, you can flee. Eve nope you are locked in unless you clear the attacker with the point.

I would like points to have the same chance percentage as ECM, would make the game more interesting for the prey, but of course most people who play this game don't care about their challenge they just want sure and easy kills so they would go up the wall at this suggestion.

You can be immune from other players as soon as agree to remove rewards from your PvE. You do not get to gain advatage in our shared economy while immune from me and the rest of New Eden.

Pro-tip: if you hate the fact other players can affect your gameplay, your Eve subscription allows you access to the test server, Sisi. It is actually against the rules for other players to explode you there against your will. Please, feel free to run missions there to your heart's content, safe from the risk of non-consensual PvP.

lol, let's be hones here, dull/boring? how high was your bp when campers caught you?

A lot of this would take a lot of rebalance. It is likely that everything would pay out a lot less.

Why do I get the feeling i am playing a vastly different game than the OP? Look.... There's this teapot. It's sacred. We fight for the right to make pot noodles in it. The blues fight to not let others make pot noodles in the tea pot. It really is that simple. Scram, disrupt, doesn't matter. We fight because it's fun. We aren't alone either. A good many groups exist to fight for the fun of it.

As for the notion that preventing people from running is poor game design...

Yup... Every slow spell, ice beam, vine trap, stasis field, stun ray, ion disruptor, spike strip, deployable mine field, emp pulse, web spell, or any other method present in countless games, yup, all poor design...

Not buying that. There have been countless ways used to keep people in a fight. Just because you do not like it does not make it bad game design.

yes, it's never enough that i only win, i want others to lose and cry and weep and make dumb ideas because of pain. but sadly, i don't even fly dps, and i don't gate camp, i protect the federation and democracy. i actually prefer ewar and logi.

we want change, but as i've said, change needs to be inclined to more ship explosions.

I don't generally like judging people over killboard stats alone, if only because people commonly play more than one character.


Should I assume that your KB tells the full story of your experience, then?

It can't. It doesn't show my wins. I win by avoiding and escaping. Your precious metric for judging doesn't define me or my playstyle.

But you think it does. If I'm not exactly like you, I'm worthless. That attitude has done a lot of good in the world.

I'm just exploring ideas intended to get you more fun.



Temporary. Points aren't.

The ECM style point above is a great idea. Taking out points completely isn't a proposal. It's a conversation. A start, not an end.



It's not about what I like. It's about what you might like more.

Points are very temporary. In fact, they have a fairly short duration - about 5 seconds, if I recall correctly. They must then be reapplied.

There are myriad ways to break an application, or prevent a reapplication, including pulling range, neuting them out, or using ECM (burst, standard, or drone), and, where applicable, session changing. You can also negate them through the use of warp core stabilizers.
