Player Features and Ideas Discussion

If I am sitting in traffic, and the guy behind me keeps ramming into my car I would get out of my vehicle, pull him out of his and beat him until he apologized or until he died. Call it road rage, or whatever... but actions have consequences. A logical response to someone harassing you is to retaliate.

While I completely understand bumping is a game mechanic, and should remain that way, there should be some sort of suspect flag if it's continuous. By all indications, if someone is bumping you repeatedly they are looking for a response. Let that response include the option to fight.

Did I say there were no other options? You know what they say about assumptions....

Anyhow, just to clarify what you're saying is you want to keep your ability to bump people senselessly and not get shot at? That sounds pretty weak and pathetic. Oh, and 50% of your ideas don't apply because they hide in NPC corps. The other half don't apply because I do live in null sec, in a pvp alliance. Every once in a while null-dwellers do like to operate in empire though. So your assumptions are false and your point of view is lacking.

It's too easy. If you harass someone, they should be able to fight you.

If they can write the code to process the physics of bumping, then I'm pretty sure they can run checks in the bump process it's self. They can also require a base speed/mass combination for the bump counter. It's too easy to exclude cases like you suggest.

This.

If they made bumping into aggression, I'm sure people would be trying to leap in front of my Mach every time I turn around.

So if you someone in a game is bumping your ship you should have no problem opening fire first, which in both realities would be a criminal act but in EVE would be without the blood and gore. I'm slightly alarmed.

this. I'd see ice miner whines in minutes of patch. Last time I went ice mining and a new field....the number of peeps at warp to 0 was god awful. Get a crowded field and between the landing bump and the bumps to jsut clear the fuster cluck....it be open season on miners legally.


And do I have ot say it? 4-4 undock. Can get a few bumps jsut trying to line up to leave the place lol.

Yeah, let's turn 4-4 undock into Thunderdome just to sooth your diaper rash.

Actually, I'm okay with that.

I would say it's two people that didn't think much about their posts.

1) He declines.
2) NPC corp.
3) NPC corp.
4) Killrights.
5) NPC corp.
6) Because he cares.
7) He doesn't attack.
8) He wants you to verbally engage him.
9) NPC corp.
10) If I could smartbomb all of high-sec at once, should they all move to null?
11) Wouldn't help being bumped while mining.
12) Ice spawn mechanics do not allow for this.
13) Hurray, you said something that makes sense.
14) Refer to point 10.

You've also failed to mention the only tactic that properly works:
- Equip an AB and orbit an asteroid at 0.
