We had them, they were called doomsday devices, and did massive damnage. But they were op. Here is a video to look at and remember the past

Collective groups of people do produce super weapons of mass destruction, ask anyone that run afoul of.....


The Marmite Collective, Rooks and Kings, CODE, Red vs Blue, etc...etc..etc.


Speaking on behalf of CCP, YOU'RE WELCOME !

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

A massive electromagnetic pulse station weapon paralyzes all ships in 300km for 10 seconds would be interesting. It uses strontium clathrates as fuel and takes 10 seconds to activate. It needs 5 minutes to cool down for another burst due to enormous heat it generated.

dont they have a one line bad idea thread in the developement forum?

"I want superweapons to nuke out everyone in the neighborhood"


I want biological weapons, that spread a desease through eve in every station infected players dock

I want chemical weapons that create 100km diameter blobs of damaging clouds, fired from the bomb launcher

I want that superweapon from wing commander prophecy, where a fighter pilot marks a ship and a one shot plasma ball just wastes the marked ship and all nearby. Or these discs from wing commander 4 that could be fired from a bomber and blew up complete stations and sips but also wiped out all lifeforms on a nearby planet.

I want kamikazi with ships loaded up with explosives

oh and let us have death stars and darth vader clothing

please please please

(the only thing I really want is comet mining! COMET MINING!)

PS: how about sending comets and meteroids to specific locations like the bugs did in starship troopers

Me wants Comet mining

In the end it translates to "I want something that lets a single (generally newish) player or small gang destroy entire fleets".

Of course as mentioned already, such a thing is actually going to be deployed en masse by the larger blobs and would be the bane of small gangs.

Do we really want something that lets big bloc Supers and Titans hot drop with impunity and takeout entire fleets of sub-caps safely ?
