Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I assumed fatigue would still apply as normal.

I was curious about range though. Do the same range restrictions still apply? And if so, what does this accomplish, other than having less of a need to train cynos/etc?

Part of what makes long distance travel slower is the need to get cynos into position. Without that need, travel speeds up a decent amount.

That's true...I misread the original idea. I thought he was saying you could pick a specific system, not that it was random.

If you don't know where your going to end up, it would definitely be interesting to consider...

and such jumping will give the players to travel to ANY star within range of the ships abilities.

I'm really liking this idea!

My 2-isk to this would be towards some details of the jump mechanics:

* Based on a module you activate to calculate the jump
* You enter the total mass of all the ships jumping through ( and maybe expected number of ships? explained later... )
* Once active it creates a space tunnel/worm hole/what ever for everyone to jump through
* Tunnel is active for Xseconds (30?) during which ships are queued, all mass is ejected to jumptarget at end of cycle (module warm up phase? buffer rendering phase? mass conversion phase? call it what ever you like )
* You can only enter the "tunnel" if you have fuel and cap ( to feed to mass conversion process? )
* All penalties from the OP still apply

This allows for logic like:

* A small frigate gang (any small PvP gang really) will get more accurate scanning results from lower skilled scanning
* A large carrier gang will need a skilled scanning pilot, but still possible to travel based on previous mentioned idea of finding all local cyno jammers etc etc....
* If a considerable amount of additional mass above what was stated in the activation of the module enters the "tunnel" then a much larger jumptarget deviation occurs for all ships
* If a considerably larger number of ships jump through ( regardless of mass ) you get the same jumptarget deviation penalty as for jumping with too much mass

Rough idea from a drunk guy! All numbers need tweaking but I hope I have relayed the core-principles behind my idea

im pretty sure all those choke points in eve didnt happen by accident so i doubt your idea will go anywhere.

Also, arrrrgh the sun, my artificial eyes are killing me.

With a cyno someone still had to make all the needed jumps removing this would lower travel time immensely we finally started to make eve a little bigger let's not shrink it back down

No emergency jump. You can randomly choose a system within your range and press jump. That let the attacker a small time frame to catch you. Or nice spool-up timer on emergency jump.

I like where this idea is going, it wold be immensely more fun to play.

1 question though.......

What happens if you misjump....and your stuck 100's of AU or even several light years between stars? do you self destruct and hope you can still clone back to the starting point? Or would that Capital have to take the next couple of yrs slowboating or wait for help to arrive since your out of fuel now?

Just asking because that would be hilarious as all to hell to me if that could occur as well.
