And small, medium and large bubbles that scram and neut and web and tracking disrupt, damp, pint and jam with 9 point defense turrets that have no tracking and let's say 1000dps each.

What could go wrong?

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!

Mines were a terrible idea and should not be brought back.

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

It was not fun for the server or the players caught up in the lag caused by the mines.
It was not fun to fly some where and run into a mine and die, a mine that was put there hours ago by a player that is no longer online.
It was not fun to be a statistic on someones kill board when they did nothing but drop a mine and warp away to sit and ship spin in a station some where.

Mines were a terrible idea that was removed from the game. They are a terrible idea that should never be brought back into the game.

So CCP have T2 servers

And mechanics would be able to adjust

Please explain why this would be a good idea. In your opinion. What has changed in Eve that makes this a good idea now, when it was terrible before?

how mines should works, other way

you need fit special mine module (minelauncher), you have charges and when flying you can lay mine after you. when someone directly pursuit you, it can hit him. and it decay (thats BSG inspiration)


as well when you try it deploy near buble, it explodes, because in mine thinking buble=ship

there can be much ways how it reintegrate into game right and with good gameplay

sry for my English :-(

I think it would be fun, surrounding a WH K-162 exit only to emerge and be utterly surrounded by mines....Twisted
