Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Dear CCP,

I think it is time for a nice long vacation for all of you. After almost 9 years of starring at the same things every day you need so time to spend with other things and clear you heads.

I have a proposition for you, visit the USA and take a look at all the nice places they have.
You should also visit one of the nice ships they have and make a boat tour on the pacific if the time allowes it.

They even have those totally cool Airforce bases which have visiting areas and a Colonel or an Airforce Admiral can explain to you what cool new weapons they are using.

If you are nice to them, maybe they let a pilot take you on a flight with an actual air combat fighter. Maybe that nice pilot can explain to you how missiles work and that when fired there is no escape from them.

On your visits to the US Navy let a ship commander explain to you how a cruise missile will never "miss" a target area.

Area?

Indeed area!

Once a warhead in put into a cruise missile - usually it will be a warhead that is capable of erasing large cities with the blink of an eye - it is ready to fly.
When that cruise missile reaches its destination that's it - game over!

Now imagine a tiny motorcycle - lets call it a minmatar one - in the center of a nuclear explosion is trying to escape this nuclear explosion with his tiny motorcycle, but for all disappointment no matter how fast the motorcycle goes, it will get molten into liquid metals and the motorcycle driver will be burned into carbon ashes.

Despite some real physics any "missile" you can watch in EVE can do quite amazing things like instant stop in space - which not even dust particles can - make a turn, then fly a bow and create a fusion reaction that does no damage.

Now while we are being at some physics,
it is unbelievable amazing that a cannon with the actual size of a football field that throws ammunition with the size of large trucks can hit a fast moving mosquito with 100 accuracy and "smash" it.

Interesting, huh?

No it isn't it is a dreadnought with a captial turret hitting an assault ship with a signature radius of 37m and instapop it and a cruise missile that should do area of explosion damage just doing some fancy light effects and nothing else.
That is called "missile tracking" novadays.
A captial artilley gun with a tracking speed of zero rad/s hitting and destroying an assault ship that moves with > 900m/s. Does nobody else see that you are really overworked?

So pack your bags, take your wifes / husbands or bring your boy/girlfriends along and visit the USA.

When you come back from your vacation you may want to consider some things you learned in your vacation and head to your drawing boards.

Have a good time and get some rest.

gameplay > realism
