It was in the database. That's not the same thing as being in the game. I can assure you that while it at one point had a market category ( sometime in 2005 judging by this post : http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=160093 ) , it never actually made it into the game as a usable item. Shame, really Twisted

I do admit I didn't know until you mentioned it that it was ever even in the database. So they did consider it at some point.

Chruker has been kind enough to preserve the data for this device: http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=13318

I suppose they didn't have the gumption to go ahead and deal with the wave of petitions such a weapon might generate.

Shocked

maybe this is part of the WAR expansion.


even if not allowed in hi sec, would be lovely ;)

still think you should be able to optimize the blast by loading your cargo bay full of explosives though !

There is actually an item in the database like this? Cool.

I hope they'll put it in the game sometime. though yes, not something to allow in high sec.
As it's a module, it will sadly be impossible to load it up into a freighter, but still, it would be a lovely way to make a great big mess of things, and it would give 'lowly' industrialists in low sec a lovely tool to annoy pirates.

ohh I'm just an innocent hauler.. OH Noes, a pirate is attacking me. * turns on module * Alpha, Mike Foxtrot, pirate.


if it wasn't a module, I could just picture this:
Somewhere in null sec, a capital fleet is engaging another capital fleet, suddenly, a Cyno ship decloaks and activtes a cyno in the middle of the enemy fleet, whereupon, a small squadron of freighters jumps in from elsewhere.

On comms, there is panic and mayhem. The entire fleet starts to look for a way out of the multitude of bubbles that the enemy has placed around the, some manage to make it, some don't, before the 5 obelisks all detonate with the full power of 800 metric tons of high grade explosives.

Does railgun ammunition come in Hollow Point?

Wow years later and its back.

Still I think that its a bit silly to have such module.

I rather pefer it be built into all ships instead. IE damage on death. Might help kill blob warfare a little :D

Agreed it should be in game.

I personally thing every exploding ship should damage ships in the area. No matter what the repercussions.
Because it would also solve allot of annoying issues (crowding in jita, fleets, blobbing, etc)

I am a bit of a care bear, but love the Idea of a kamikaze industrial.

I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen.

with current mechanics for auto destruct it might work, giving all pilots a warning of 30 seconds that a ship within range is about to go KABOOM !

having said that, no matter how much people want or how cool some think certain abilities would be in game, they will never be allowed because people would take advantage of them and make life hell for everyone around them.

yes kiling **** is needed, yes making **** is needed, i think CCP has the balance almost perfect as it is.
