Edited by: ozz tech on 22/06/2011 22:30:59 Hi, i just wanted to throw a wild idea at you guys for the eve game play. as i like to go mining often i notes something rather odd... like most miners i like to drop cans as i mine, and as usual we often get them robed... So, i was wondering when we (the miners) will ever get are revenge, as in a bran spanking new "booby trap can", in the real world i do believe that miners would start to do stuff like this.
specs: -when ejecting cargo you get the choose of the regular container or the booby trapped container. -18k m3. - can only be dropped by mining barges, exhumers and industrial ships. - can only access by you, your fleet, corp, alliance. - if access by someone els... will blow up that ship 50% of the time. a kind of caned Russian relet. - ore industrial skill: 5% grater chances of explosion per skill level.

Supported. Make it 100% instead of 50%. Miners get lol@ exploding griefers, griefers get instant aggro timed at their convenience and auto switch to pod for faster swap to combat ship back at station. Everyone's happy.

its the only thing in the game which is essay money. all the other ways to mack isk (mining, rating, missioning, salvaging) all have some kind of challenge, time, risk of getting your ship blown up.

id leave it at 50% + skill bones, or els whats the point. if the can jumper knows he's gana get popped no one will try to steal, it just nulls the hole idea of the boobm can. think of it as a Russian runlet...

your missing some of the replies point...
Your can blows them up = agro timer = they dock and get some faction BS that your hulk will instapop against....
they undock and warp to you or their wreck...
you blow up...
they feel great because you feel crappy...
such is life in EVE...

You mine in lolsec? Where? I'll come over and keep you company.
He wouldn't be going after your can if its in lowsec.

i don't mine in low sec, i just thot that Beccia had a grate idea with concord, but wouldn't work in low sec sins well... its low sec. but for high sec i think Beccias idea works beter then a bomb can. unless when it blows up it would not cause agro to its oner.

I like the idea,
it could be as simple as Jettisoning an "Item" that can be made with PI or purchased. (Dynamite) lets say.
If you jettison it (the dynamite), it is a can that wont implode for 30min to an hour or something.
If you open it - it blows up on you. If someone else opens it, it blows up on them.
But I like the initial idea.

Good news everybody! CCP has announced their plans to release a special can JUST FOR MINERS!
It will be called a Secure Cargo Container, accessible by only those with the password! Can robbers can no longer steal your goods! I have the prototype blueprints to deposit in to select systems, and can offer personal orders of 50mil isk a can! These cans will never expire! And most importantly, only people with the password can access the can! Now, who sets the password you might ask yourself. Well, YOU do! That's the beauty of it! YOU drop the can and YOU set the password! You are the only space-faring pilot who knows the password to your can! Unless, of course, you share your password with other people. Miners rejoice!
tl;dr: Oh look, its this thread again

That's ridiculous. If it was 100%, even 50% nobody would bother trying to steal your loot. (how much is ore worth anyhow? Not as much as a ship I'm sure.) Which I guess is what you want. (nobody stealing your cans) But then I must ask, why haven't you used secure containers? Achieves the same thing.

then if your afraid to loos your ship... dont . like you said ther not worth the ship right... or grow a pair and take a risk, 50% chans to loos your ship. isnt that the idea of the game, take a risk, go to low sec, go an a misson, go rat, go mine or risk allmost nothing and steel cans...
dont take it personal, im not trying to **** off anyone, but im thinking you don't play EvE because its essay and safe? you go on missions, low sec, mining, rating. that i know those all have some kind of challenge, so y not steeling.
