This is a great idea. We used to do this all the time in Mechwarrior....when all was lost, collide with a target and then destroy the reactor!! It would actually add a lot to small gang tactics where there would be an additional advantage to using ranged weapons.


I do remember at some point in Mechwarrior 4 (can't remember if it was Vengeance or Mercs) there were modules you could attach that would allow you to self-crit and cause a butt-load of splash damage kamikaze style. Too bad it took, what ten years for the franchise to make a return with MWO. At least it did, and from what I heard, it's a very good return.

The way that ships cluster around trade hub undocks was a complete surprise to me when I first started playing. Imagine my amazement the first time I flew into Jita 4-4....on a weekend no less.

With that said....such a dynamic of collisions and CONCORD reprisals would completely change the way gankers, war deccers, and anyone else I am missing that does this would play their game. I could see whole ship fit doctrines change to a longer range setup. That might be naive of me though. I'm really not sure how those types of gamers set their ships up and the strategies they use.

In your dreams, past events in Jita say otherwise, you'd have thought people would have avoided Jita like the plague when burn Jita took place, CCP even put a warning about it on the login screen, did people avoid it? Nope, they complained about the rash of ganking instead, and were ridiculed for being sheep

They're already split on a regional basis, Amarr, Dodixie and Rens are also market hubs, there's many lesser hubs as well.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
