Looks like BL war with CO2 as left them with oxygen deprivation at least make it a massive wormhole you bump them in to that takes them to 1 of the dev only time you lost systems

It could be said that BL is feeling a little blue, even cyanotic over this CO2 business. That said it is my feeling that your comment is not really intended towards advancing the goal of implementing a wicked wormhole / volcano hybrid eve mini game.

All that unpleasantness out of the way, I find your second suggestion intriguing. Perhaps if you get bumped into the black hole, there is 95% chance of death - and 5% chance of entry to a jovian system. That seems like it could work with the whole exploration thing eve is pushing.

But the blackhole is supposed to be bad. So if you are lucky enough to be the 5% that makes it to the Jovian side, all you can do is suicide yourself. Oh, or die FROM THE LAVA FROM THE JOVIAN VOLCANO. Or die from the Jovian AI Ghostships. (Like in that one book that has the ghostships filled with the extinct avian race engaged in never ending combat as they pass each other in orbit every x amount of time).

THIS IS A BREAKTHROUGH.

So, after a bit of thinking, it stands to reason that it would take a lot of lava to fill up space. There is no precedent for lava filling up all of space so it is kind of a silly mechanic. But what I do know is that volcano's produce a lot of fumes and gas. So the lava will just be a nice visual effect for the CCP modellers to nerd out on. What the volcano will actually emit is damaging gas - a mechanic that I believe eve actually already has.

So basically, if you get into this jove system, there is a volcano that is choking the system to death with gas. Oh, and also you.

Edit: Props to my boy Cinomed for his wisdom.

I think what you are really asking for is: A new mini-game and since Mini-games now exist (think exploration spew cans) why not make one that could be engaged in while in station?

Why soil the EVE universe with a dead end system and bizarre code when instead you can add it as a mini-game.

Otherwise... I don't like the idea. Pirate

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

Snakes on a plane...... logical progression

Volcanoes in space.

Hmmm... it works, ship it.











Nah......lolwut?

the sansha incursion shut us down for like 2 days and forced us to do pve and that hurt. i have heard of this "CO2" but only ever seen their backs as they run away so Im not really an expert so sorry about that

The whole Volcano idea is problematic as it requires significant amount of magma to be workable and even if you burst an entire planet you would barely have enough to equate to bursting a zit on the arse of the system it's in.

On the other hand...Have the star in system be collapsing in a pre-supernova state and you could argue that it could produce gamma radiation fueled cosmic pyro-clastic events that spew in a random direction and then sweep around the system in an arc as the star spins on its axis.

I do believe I now need more caffeine...

Also does anyone have a number for a good therapist? I seem to have taken the OP seriously, and no matter how briefly that occurred I am now concerned about my mental state...

seems legit

i am for it as long as we can call it magma and not lava, as magma sounds cooler

{edit: the phrase "I am trying to see how we can still keep the volcano in this feature, but I will admit, it is becoming difficult." is quite possibly the most lulzy thing I have read all night}

giant volcano like 100km off gate.

Randomly, once per hour the volcano erupts and lava moves from the volcano to the gate at a rate of 1000 km\s.

Which means pilots would have a maximum of like a minute and a half

Hey friend - if I am being honest, it seems like the general mood of the community, and thus CCP, is lukewarm on my vision of a space volcano / black hole titan sized shuttle bumper car mini game... but that is ok. This is the Ideas Discussion forum for the discussion of ideas.

And I can say for a fact, all the great feedback here have helped me really tighten up this idea.


Edit: That supernova idea is solid - falls inline with the quasar stuff.
