I don't know if it feasible, but it sounds a lot better than 'Soul Crushing Lag',Ghost Ships etc.

i stand by my support of this, unchanged.
one thing though - might i suggest a title change? it seems to me this thread may not be getting the traffic, particularly dev wise, it deserves, nay, needs to get it noticed and get soem actual input from ccp on.
something descriptive... "intentional slowmo bullettime lag counter" maybe?

If this is even vaguely possible, with no unintended exploitable angles its a no-brainer +100 signed from me.

Good idea.
May actually reduce the number of laggy situations if bringing enough players to crash a node is no longer a valid strategy.

Am I understanding it right??
If lag happens, the server till reset all mods to have longer duration time??
Like, if the lag is 3 seconds, all mods will have 10 seconds more duration time??
If I'm right, I would support this idea.

you're starting to get the idea :)
say the node that the fight is on can support up to 500 players completely lag free, and then another 500 jump in and start fighting, you'll experience lag. your modules cycle and dont disengage or dont turn on when u click them, contacts that are already dead still appear on ur overview for a moment longer than normal etc.... the server would slow down everything that has a combat or navigation element in it in the system. So DPS is reduced, Alpha is not, reps per minute is reduced, speed is reduced, explosion velocity reduced etc... everything used in combat and navigation that has a time based element in the calculations.
what this means for the server is less requests by pilots trying to do stuff and because of that the lag is reduced/removed.
so those extra 500 pilots that jumped in would force the server to add bullet time to 100% so everything that took say 10 secs to cycle would take 20secs to cycle. and because of that the server would be able to handle twice as many pilots that it originally could, without lag as such.

Facepalm simple on the face of it.
Let's Do The Time-warp Again!
There has to be a nerdy coding catch somewhere, but we should be giving CCP enough money to hire the Princes of Nerdom to code this in somehow.
It would seem that anyone who is inside a system when it enters this time-warp mode would have to be tagged in some way. Tagged players cannot just jump in and out of the time-warp due to some wierd-@ss spatial distortion effects on your clone or something.
The tag is a timer(running on time warp speed as it adjusts on the fly) that makes a pilot wait before being able to re-enter.
----
In addition, I think that the system and every connecting system would have to be included in the time-warp to keep gate games to a minimum. Ratters/Plexers/Miners would just have to deal.
----
It seems to me that once a system enters the time-warp, every pilot in that system becomes a copy that only exists as long as the system is in that state or until that clone dies or logs. Re-integration with all other aspects of the toon/account would take place after one of the trigger events.
This keeps skillpoints/researching/etc still churning along with no coding changes needed. The battle copy is trapped in the time-warp.
----
It is like the system is cloned into it's own sisi-like spacetime, so the rest of EVE can access it is some ways, but it does not affect EVE.

The idea, though clever and certainly unique, is self-defeating.
No matter how you achieve the slowdown in system (increased cycle-times, distorted / expanded time, et cetera), you invite more and more people to enter the battle. Because deaths would be slower, the battle would last longer. Remember the rest of the EVE-world is chugging along at normal speeds. More time to bat-phone friends, reship when destroyed, whatever.
New parties would be jumping onto the field like never before. Currently, if you can't race to a system in time, you get to drool over KMs missed. But under this proposal, you have plenty-o-time.
And with each new entry / reentry, that distorted time becomes worse and worse. Allowing for entire alliances to call up their b-teams to get to the fray from further and further distances. And their friends. And so on and so on.
While the system wouldn't crash like it does now, you would have fleets of ships just looking at each other (perhaps making rude gestures out the window) and doing little else. For those of you who have been on the test server, imagine "move" requests en masse on tranquility so you can go to work, kiss the GF / wife, develop old-age, to get out of the battle.
Points for a clever idea. But IMO - counterproductive.

this would be the end result if and only if the node being used to conduct the battle on was an amstrad or sinclaire spectrum. i hate it when people exadurate their points to the absolute extreme, its ridiculous and completely unnecisary! Firstly this measure is to counter lag and only lag, its not a full proof way of having 2000+ player battles on any single server blade. the idea is to keep gameplay remotely playable between a mass of players converging and overwhelming a server and ccp reinforcing the node to allow full speed gameplay.

Very cool idea. It would need some testing to see how effective it would be, but, assuming it works as I think it would, this would be a great way to help reduce the lameage of large fleet fights.

I think will be better to solve the lag but I think is better than wait 40 minutes to see that you are in a pod. I support it.
