Edited by: Fred Meyer on 13/07/2005 02:12:22 Had this idea...
I know this has come up before, but here is an idea for you to do damage when you self destruct. Here's where it might differ from previous ideas...
You get 5 options for self destruct, one of them exactly like the one we already have. The other 4 will deal a different damage type. Also, each one can be modified to increase the damage by doing certain things to your ship. Also, to give a penalty to doing this, if you self destruct using the 4 that deal damage, you will die. Meaning your pod will not eject. Here are the 4 different self destructs I came up with...
1: Overload Shield Generators: Generates EM damage by creating a destructive shockwave from your shield generators. Modified by max shield hitpoints. 2: Overload Reactor Core: Generates Thermal Damage by causing your Reactor to melt down. Modified by max Powergrid. 3: Overload Capacitor: Generates Explosive Damage by overcharging and releasing all of your capacitor energy at once. Modified by max Capacitor points. 4: Rapid Decompression: Generates Kinetic Damage by rapidly decompressing your hull, resulting in your ship being explosivly torn apart by pressure, sending debris flying at high speed. Modified by max armor hitpoints.
Obviously by this, you'll do little damage with small ships, and lots of damage with big ships. So if any alts are used for suicide attacks, they'll do only small amounts of damage.
I think thats it. What do you people think?
Edit: Well, if Im posting, better say something. :D

I really think this is a very stupid ideea. We all know suicide bombers can be effective, but i think it is really low, not to mention it would make many of us think about their equivalents in real life. And that would get people ****ed (got me ****ed atm).
And i really don't want to have alts with names like Abd al-Aziiz with 2 weeks in ... suicide skills training ?? blowing stuff up.

I just wish the self-destruct wasn't pointless.

Why? You do it several times per day? Would you like to get ISK for doing it? Oh noes, you just want to blow 3 bships up with it.. ah.. then it's fine.

Cool idea, I like how you worked out the four different ways of destructively ending your ship's life...but it's not going anywhere. And bringing it up so soon after last Thursday's bombings in London was very bad timing. ___________________________________________ ^^^***---All things serve the Beam---***^^^ GDBT is recruiting! |

Seriously, could you please be a little more over radically hyper sensitive? A simple suggestion concerning a space MMO in which PVP is a daily affair has no correlation with any RL terrorist event.

I'm not saying that I care, I don't mind at all. I'm just saying that a lot of other people are bound to react badly...the very second reply was someone upset about this. I'm not complaining, I'm just telling what I see. ___________________________________________ ^^^***---All things serve the Beam---***^^^ GDBT is recruiting! |

Actually there is a smartbomb system that did massive amounts of damage but at the same time did somthing like 100k damage to your own ship, basicly a device to selfdestruct agressively.
Sadly it has not been implemeted yet... atleast I have never seen an item sold.
What we really need is a number of modules that make it less profitable for pirates, personally I would like to see a module that makes sure cargo and all modules fitted are lost 100% of the time.
I would buy such modules and fit it on ALL my haulers, even if it meens loosing an expander.
You see I think pirates should be allowed to hunt me but equally I think I should have a meens to minimize their profits from destroying my ship.
I however expect the crybabies would whine forever if such a module was implemented :)

lool, when i play my BF2 Demo, i usually get in the first f35b/helicopter and if i cant kill my target, i crash my aircraft on him to blow him up, works great in servers where no1 cares about aircraft, i just keep respawning and kamikazing with a new plane.

Suicide bombing is in my opinion not something i would like to see replicated in an MMORPG. Yes, it is "only a game"; NO I DON'T switch off my brain from reality totally when I play it.

Sorry, if someone is not happy with a suicide bombers, he is by no means overreacting. <sarcasm> Perhaps u want a skill "suicide doppeldecker bombing", that give -10 standing to "london citizen" as a penalty??? Or give suicide bombers a +100% chance to hit when its 9/11 evetime? </sarcasm> Even in a game, where we shoot with fictional military weapons on other ppl, is no need to push such inhumane practices.

Thank you Page. In fact, I wasn't even protesting the idea, in fact if you read a little more carefully, I agreed that it IS a cool idea...I MYSELF happen to like it. I just predicted that it wasn't going to be very popular. ___________________________________________ ^^^***---All things serve the Beam---***^^^ GDBT is recruiting! |

Eh, I suppose I probably should have timed my posting a little better. Sorry to any of you who might have reacted negatively to this idea due to the recent events in London and elsewhere.
I came up with this idea to not be a terrorist or random bombing tool. But rather this would be used as sort of a last ditch effort to hurt your enemy if you knew you were done for. Also I'm not saying that these should do MASSIVE amounts of damage either. I.E. The self destruct of a class of ship would not kill a ship of the same class. Obviously a self destructing BS could kill frigs, but thats one hell of a expensive bomb, not to mention that the frigs could probably run away from the exploading BS. Heh, if this were in the game though, I can't image how much damage a self destructing Dread would do! LOL. Here are a couple more elaborations of this idea.
When you engage the self destruct, everyone will be notified, either by message, or visually, or both. The self destruct would not happen instantly either. It would take about 10-30 seconds for the actual process to go through. The range would be limited too, like a BS explosion doing full damage only up to 10km or so.
Yeah, I know this has the chances of getting into the game of me getting stuck by lighting and winning the lotto on the same day. But hey, it's fun to talk about ideas. :D

And to follow the 9/11 and London trend, the heroes of WWII (and we had a few) that aimed their wrecked airplanes into a ship or AA point were nothing but filthy terrorists, right? And I am not talking about the Japanese even if it was a very valid tactic for them.

Alright you tards, I live in London, I am affected by the bombings (No, I did not lose anyone close to me, my condolences if you did). This, however, has nothing to do with a game so get real muppets.
As for the idea, dunno.
