EVE General Discussion

Maybe we can do this in a quasy-poll-like fashion. If you like this idea hit the like button on this post. If you think this is a bad idea, hit the like button on the post below. That way we can "poll" the forum-base.

I'm curious to how many players think that getting rid of the "warp-to-zero" option for gates and station would make gameplay more interesting and fun, or less interesting and more a pain. The concept would be to get rid of the warp to zero option for all gates and stations. Instajump bookmarks would not work as well because a sortof 'warp-distruption' bubble would exist around the stations and gates which automatically drops ships out of warp at the 15km point.
Like this post if you like this idea. Some example reasons to like this idea are

1. Gate-camping would be even more effective.
2. Easier to patrol your claimed territor because you can catch intruders more easily
3. Hi-sec War declarations would be more fun and effective because you have more opprotunity to 'catch' your enemies
4. Hi-sec suicide ganking would be more common
5. It would multiple the advantage of smaller faster ships as more useful than larger ships.
6. Other.

Post alternative, reasoning below.

This is also a test of the basic literacy of the Eve Forum inhabitants. I predict that most will completely miss the point that
1) the mechanics would make instajumps not a viable option.
2) miss the point that this is a poll and not choose 'like' for either of the options above.

My pvp side tingles but my orca side is repulsed.

Also bookmarks.

Well the concept would be that instajump bookmarks wouldn't work, because the gates/stations would act like warp-inhibitor bubbles dropping any ship out of warp at 15km even if the ship was trying to use bookmarks.

We will find a way.

No thanks.

I do wish people would stop trying to change the game to work ‘their way’ and not just play the game as it is.

When I started playing the message was ‘Adapt or Die’ and this is how the game should be played. Most of the posts from ‘I don’t like this aspect of the game change it’, is because they can’t be bothered to do just that.

I don’t like some aspects of PI but its CCP’s game and unless the problem is a real bug or major game changing problem that needs to be dealt with I just work around it and carry on playing.

Stop trying to change my game, if you don’t like it the way it is, go play something else until it becomes ‘your’ game.

Sorry but threads like this just drive me up the wall, think yourself lucky you have a game like this to even play, my first game was ‘Colossal Caves’ and you had to type everything in to answer questions like ‘There is a door E, N and S’.

Bookmark 20km behind the gate and warp to 20. Unless you mean that every gate really has a bubble that will take down any ship that approaches or even passes by if there's a gate in between destinations forcing ships to take a detour between. What if the ship appears behind the gate and has to travel 30km before being able to jump? Two bookmarks around every gate to make a detour?

That said I think this is a bad idea.Orca and freighter pilots will hate this. Battleships become even less favoured because slowness is more apparent, not that they are that popular to begin with. It reduces the eagerness to go solo in lowsec and might drop even more new players from trying as there is no way one can survive a quick run. And of course more blobs because you can't be sure if there's a blob waiting.

Its not a pretty thought thinking about what it would be like to go back to the days where everybody has over a thousand bookmarks just for getting from gate to gate.

If this was implemented as proposed by the OP, I predict an in-game riot. This is wrong on so many levels, I wouldn't even know where to begin the mammoth task of rebutting this foolishness.

*shudder*

no...just......no.

Yes, a bubble, will take down any ship that approaches. I don't think that there are any gates so perfectly lined up that they will take down each other's traffic.



This is the type of anwser/opinion I was looking for. Its basically poll to gather opinions and pro/cons. Thanks.
