EVE General Discussion

lol who's gonna say no to being flash fried by a supernova ?

everyone wants that medal,,, i was there

So nothing actually realistic at all then.

I always said some WH systems should be like this, you enter and see there is indeed a star with an issue, you don't know if you'll survive but while you are in this danger rewards vastly increase until the star goes pop, would lead to interesting situations for sure, like perhaps, while the star begins to collapse it introduces TIDI to the system but the countdown on the star dying isn't effected just the poor souls who stayed just that bit too long. while in warp back to your escape, this star goes off, you see the shock wave coming and not a damn thing you can do about it, would be easy to rename systems after they die and keep a pool of systems that respawn under different names. perhaps you could even find sleepers around the dying stars, experimenting on how best to kill a star, they could even tie it in with the Caroline star incident.

But after a supernova the sun and some celestials would be gone https://youtu.be/k__Bf0KJVmo

If that happens once in New Eden, ok. But everyday in a random system? Not a good idea.

Make it a heavy solarstorm, that have effects in the whole system, or maybe even the constellation.
Then i'm in.

lol Sound almost like a galactic Gilligan's Island waiting to happen. Your the Proffesor, all we need is 2 beauties a funny Capt. Kirk, a worthless Scotty, and a spoiled rich couple that brought brought enough wine to stay drunk in space for a year.

I like it, especially the increased rewards and TiDi action happening while ships try to escape.

CCP make it so ..........



Well, most of it anyway. Not sure about the whole system being destroyed. Maybe combine most of that with aspects listed below.

Could just say it's a mini Supernova causing a Solar Storm and make up some sort of SyFy reason for Stations, Citadels, PoS's and Jumpgates not being affected. Maybe due to emergency shield, armor and hull HP's along with increased resistance being applied during the Event. Of course all PI Structures, Customs Offices, Mobile Structures, Containers and Ships in space would be destroyed. Moons and Asteroid belts stay the same but since it is a Stellar Event, the Planets themselves would change from one type to another.

For example :
Ice > Storm > Oceanic > Temperate > Barren > Lava > Gas > Plasma > Shattered

Would definitely make PI content much more interesting.

Only if it happens just a few times per year and the ingame news like scope covers it, so that pilots are warned to avoid the system, or to be there in a heavy tanked ship, that can survive the blast, so they can enjoy and stream the spectacle.

I hear you and if ships were tanked like stations then yeah, they'd be able to withstand the potential damage and stream the entire Event for viewers. However since ships aren't tanked like stations, the broadcast would be shut down due to the destruction of the broadcast ship.

As for Eve players getting advance notice of the Event before it happens, no. Space is very dangerous. It needs to be random to keep it interesting and unexpected as well as frightening. I'm sure it could be reported on Billboards by Scope within a few hours after it starts. Also having the Event happen each day to just one system out of the 7500 systems currently within the Eve universe wouldn't be very noticeable. There's a lot of empty systems in Eve and Players could go for years without encountering it.

Anyway, it's a nice dream but it'll never happen. However if CCP could code something like that to happen, it would definitely get a lot of attention from game reviews.
