If both ships in a bump have shields at zero, it should be crunch time, because that would be consistent with lore about how shields work (and how they wouldn't when they've failed).

Outside of that, the mechanic is just fine.

I've never actually been ganked. Though I don't think much of the people who do it, particularly as a career.

In any event, I for one have also long found the bumping mechanic to be one of the most stupid things about EVE.

Particularly when a small ship can bump a much larger one.

Still you'd think an advanced space ship would be able to counterbalance any forces being applied to it against its desired heading, orientation, or direction of travel.




Well, what is stupid is that you don't understand bumping. A small ship will have a hard time bumping a much larger ship without at least a MWD....which also increases the mass of the ship doing the bumping (scroll down to the part that says mass addition; so for something like a taranis an increase of 500,000 kg would be a one third increase in ship mass) and even then it wont be terribly effective against a ship like a freighter.

Maybe you should read a bit more on how the game mechanics work.

As for bumping, it is totally fine, IMO. You don't take damage when you slam into other objects in game. And if you find yourself getting bumped in preparation of a gank, you screwed up several times over....you deserve what is coming, IMO. HTFU and fly smarter.
