CCP Soundwave C C P Alliance	Posted - 2009.12.09 09:31:00 - [1] I've actually been thinking about "non-lethal" ships lately, since the whole idea of just scaling damage bores me to death, so this thread is pretty well timed Let's have a little fun with this. Let's say you could put a ship into the game. Everyone gets one attempt in this thread, and your suggestions must follow these rules: * The ship must have a unique ability or role, which does not necessarily have to exist currently (it could be an interdictor bubble that webs instead of warp scrambles for example). * The ships role must be non-lethal. It can do damage, but the design has to focus around the effect of the ship/ability, not around destroying things quickly. * The ship can have multiple roles, that either gives the ship multiple uses, or compliments each other. * The ship can have any size, it does not matter if you're suggesting a frigate design or a super cap. Note: This competition does not mean that your ship will be used in EVE.


CCP Soundwave C C P Alliance	Posted - 2009.12.09 09:33:00 - [2] I will buy the person who posts the best suggestion a beer. Prize can be claimed in Reykjavik


CCP Soundwave C C P Alliance	Posted - 2009.12.09 14:15:00 - [3] Originally by: Tobias Sjodin - Cloak the gathering Effects: Targeted ship(s) receive all the effects (positive and negative) of being cloaked, and decloak after 30 seconds. Special: If you get remotely cloaked, you cannot decloak for that duration. Hence this can be both an offensive and a defensive weapon. I too enjoy VTES


CCP Abathur C C P C C P Alliance	Posted - 2009.12.09 15:29:00 - [4] Originally by: Max Teranous I suggest a ship a bit like the current motherships on TQ. I'd give them more HP's, maybe 3 times the HP of a current mom. I'd give them a new drone type, and call them "fighter bombers". They would be very good at killing capital ships but poor against subcapitals. I'd have their jump range of 5 LY basic, and they would not be able to dock. You could build them in a CSSA in a POS & be immune to EW. And they would absolutely be banned from fitting and using target painters. Max That doesn't sound very "non-lethal". You are breaking the rules.


CCP Soundwave C C P Alliance	Posted - 2009.12.10 14:49:00 - [5] There are some fun ideas in this thread, remember it's perfectly fine to think completely outside the box. A ship that cannot move but eats planets would be perfectly acceptable for example


CCP Incognito	Posted - 2009.12.10 14:52:00 - [6] Awesome Thread. I will up the ante and match Soundwaves Beer, so the winner gets 2 beers (must collect in Iceland, and be of legal drinking age :) To link another thread that fits the rules ----- I am a programmer, not a designer, all design comments are just speculation and have no grounding in fact!


CCP Soundwave C C P Alliance	Posted - 2009.12.18 12:00:00 - [7] Edited by: CCP Soundwave on 18/12/2009 12:00:40 Thanks to everyone for playing! There were a lot of good ideas, and I can't really pick one specifically. Since I figure I live far enough out in the ocean that not all of you will actually claim your prize, I'm going to be giving out five beers These were my favorite ideas, in no particular order: Shana Matika http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1228889&page=4#102 Batolemaeus http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1228889&page=4#105 Dallenn http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1228889&page=5#122 Krans Hopeson http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1228889&page=2#47 Patrice Macmahon http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1228889&page=7#195
