Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Dev's, any chance collision damage will be instituted into the game? Immersion; sitting in Skiff in a belt and the small asteroids floating around bounce off the boat's fenders and causes a "thud" and or "scrap" sound while spinning off into space. Ice particles sing against the hull, BUT damn, that one big rock dented my right front fender!

OR, teeth gritting as the Stabber barrels toward the unsuspecting miner's Orca, SLAMMMMM! Dent the hull of the Orca and smashes the front end of the Stabber!

Now, this could introduce "Kamikaze" play style into the game! In the middle of a fight, out of paste, charges, ammo....I refuse to run, my ship is my final solution......my only weapon!

Also, warping through space stations?

Collision should cause damage, depending on the on the speed and volume of the object and then the damage will show as in combat model or even develop a new dent and scratch model damage image for ships, like gaping tears in the ship hull rending fleet hangars or cargo spaces useless until it is repaired, just another lonely belt grinding thought....

you DO NOT want nano-ed MWD capable Interceptor cruise missles...

Sir Isaac Newton does NOT take prisoners... 500MN Nomens? yeah that would unleash enough energy to vaporize a planet

I think you might be my new best friend, fellow math geek.

I actually did the numbers for crashing a Leviathan into a planet (you know like CCP did), and came away with some pretty spectacular destruction.

Would it be wrong to say that I am slightly aroused by this....?

don't leave us hanging

I believe this is the correct response

Could be interesting, but I think there is no way to make it work without too many obvious exploits.

A) Concord doesn't care about bumping:
BS will smash into hauler and destroy it without penalty.

B) Concord kills the faster ship in the bump
Slow enough BS bump to push you to another ship - so you hit some other ship very fast and be destroyed by concord.

C) Concord kills both ships involved the bump
Even easier - MWDed frigate smashing in the hauler to die and have concord destory hauler.

D) Bumps at any speed count with concord destroying faster ship - frig will hit larger ship extremely fast and be destroyed. That larger ship will then be pushed to another nearby frig and have Concord destroy the larger ship.

Even if only environment hits count you won't be able to make it work - BS will push hauler to a sign or a miner to asteroids and destroy it without penalty.

i don't care how well you tank it that MWD cepter will make sure there is nothing left of your BB

The smaller object always suffers more, but that doesn't mean the larger object doesn't also have a bad day.

How does the EM Drive factor into your...maths?

How does the EM Drive generate the energy it needs for momentum?

The answer is Quantum Physics which will completely evaporate the need for chemically propelled engines such as the MN series.
