Crime & Punishment

What you're talking about has been discussed before. Surprise, surprise.

The way collisions are handled in EVE is no less 'realistic' than the way other features are handled; dare I suggest that 'point-and-click' is hardly a technological innovation...

I suspect that it would be just too much work to change the mechanic - even if there were an appetite for doing so.

At some point, if bumping is proven to be in need of a change, CCP will do it, and ask for no one's 'by your leave..' Let's cross that bridge when we come to it.

You will, however, have to explain how crashing into a ship might otherwise work. Pay special attention to whether both vessels are in motion when the collision happens, or whether the 'target' is stationary. Calculate the relative speeds and trajectories in order to display the severity of any damage which might occur. Ask the Art Dept to create damage workups for each ship in the game. How would 10% damage to the front off-side point of a Retriever piloted by someone with only basic shield-tanking skills be represented - in colour . Then multiply that visual damage profile for ships with SKINS; a new profile for each SKIN. Spaceships move very quickly; on collision, might not both vessels simply explode (given the high energy amounts locked within them)? I suppose that might start a new playstyle of suicide-bumping...

Then start your coding...

Simple, really.

RIP 4-4

Yes, it would, that's sure. On the other hand I see the new game content a really working damage and collision model would give to all of us.
It would, so to say, chaff separated from the wheat, e.g the ones who whine will still do so, but I'm pretty sure it also would create a new sort of player those who try to make it thru hordes of enemies and delivering their goods. Not just a "Hauler", but a real "Merchant Marine".
Like the type of badasses these guys were: "Ganked and "Bumped" for days but still made it.

To touch me, you must first catch me!

No, no. You displayed what I took to be naivety, given that bumping has been discussed to death - in all its aspects. No one begrudges you your opinion; however, don't be surprised if it isn't wholeheartedly embraced by an adoring public, in raptures at your originality and hearing it for the first time.

The Crime and Punishment sub-forum presents a challenging environment to the unwary. Don't be unwary.

I don't need to see EVE's code. The physics of bumping were also discussed - along with the other goodies you clearly missed. It's not your fault I suppose if you missed the thread/s, but it wouldn't hurt, would it, to at least try to discover whether your opinion was likely to spark interest or not. Of course, you may not care whether or not it does so.

Have you submitted your thoughts and opinions to the Player Features & Ideas sub-forum?

You round off your mini-sulk with 'it was just my opinion, nothing more'. Young man; opinions matter. That is, informed and well-formed opinions matter.

D'you know, I've completely forgotten what this is all about. Better stop there, Sasha....

That is like, so many words for a group you don't take seriously. I'm certain Sasha has a more eloquently worded statement to this effect, but sometimes I prefer brevity.

You care. A lot.

Vipsan is blocked, CR; I'm just too tired these days to tease out the sense from the dross. I did notice, however, an error.

Fatty - Fatties
Lolly - Lollies
Biopsy - ?

Guess.

Never apologise to a Codie, just realise they are sensitive petals who wail at the smallest prick ( not you ).

The locals here usually ignore their circle jerk posts to each other.

They have low self esteem from a cloning accident that denied them reproductive organs. The same cloning mistake gave them sub par brains, only able to achieve repetitive botting tasks such as ganking.

I have studied these pathetic organisms by numerous biopsies on their podded corpses. Some superior entities (by comparison) have been able to break free of their cult like environment. Establishing their own care facility and activities, well done to the Kusions for this minor achievement. Baby steps, baby steps!

James315 started out as their carer. As time went by and the pressures of running such a large care facility struck, he had a break-down. Whilst on a battery of cheap medications supplied by the Angel Cartel James315 had visions; "Why be just a low paid long suffering carer surrounded by bots - I will be the Organ Grinder and these bots can be my unpaid monkeys."



So you see Peorthr, the locals here NEVER take a Codie seriously. We nod and wink at them, occasionally pod them for sport , but we NEVER take them seriously.


Help explain?


( Must thank Sasha for helping get this message out. )

What's the multiplier on that?

One metric shyte ton.

Hazel, Hazel, Hazel, you really naughty, aren't you?
I proudly own a valid Permit, albeit I didn't really need it anymore because I live in Null, but I will buy another one, when it's time to do so. Yes, I'm an CODE. Supporter and yes I support the cause of James 315, blessed be his name.
CODE. creates content, your tears in C&P are a fine example for some delicious content. So crisp, so refreshing.
