Almost certainly not, that'd require a major rewrite of the physics engine. And it would make Concord so busy correcting accidental spree shooters in hi-sec. Those who've been with us from the start probably remember all the surprise fun caused by torpedo splash damage before we removed it. Cross-fire, splash damage and random factors in general are really cool...but they sometimes have downsides :)
LOL.. I didn't even think of that...
Anyway, it does look AWESOME!

New warp experience is under construction...
I assume it will be something like space disorder (bending of space) so you could warp through objects and it will look good and realistic (future realistic) |

I remember fondly my first encounter with the old proximity-fused, Aera-of-effect torpedoes. Back then the pirates would deliberately inflict the killing blows on your ship with torps, so that the follow-on torp would instantly destroy your pod.  |

Incidentally, there should be more weapons with splash damage, if only because they'd make for great "anti-blob" tools in nullsec. |

Shots missing is a phenomenal addition that I know will get more people interested in eve. The tracking and sig radius calculations are very hard to understand when they are not being displayed. Is that the case now? I.e. will fitting a tracking computer when I really needed three reduce the amount that I miss by? any plans for differentiating between glancing, light, wrecking shots etc? |

 IDEA:
client allready have data from server is it missed, perfect shot, light shot, scratch...
why not use that... perfect shots shot where it shot now (in middle of the ship) all other have some offset by the data given.. so it hits a little up/down/left/right from center... that way we visually have few groups of offsets and not all shots hit in middle of the ship when it hits...  |

Reminds me of this:
Linkage
"This, recruits, is a twenty-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight! Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to one-point-three percent of light-speed. It impacts with the force of a thirty-eight kiloton bombGÇöthat is three times the yield of the city-buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth! That means SIR ISAAC NEWTON IS THE DEADLIEST SON OF A ***** IN SPACE!" |

I don't think ccp realise how much of a massive feature this is... after playing other online games (yes I've tried WoW -.-) nothing apart from sounds and text are changed when shots are fired or swords swiped... all the animations are the same etc...
but now with this... it really is an industry first for online games from what I've seen. |

I imagine it's setup the way it is at the moment because they couldn't have it like that idea. First the current system has to gauge the target ("the first shot always hits, sorry") then it can do the calculations. It probably has something to do with the fact that it is basing it off of actual realtime data, instead of numbers they can just put into a system that declare missed, hit, etc.
Just speculation I guess, considering it is real time person vs person and not just person vs npc (Where you can put some parameters on NPC that can say hit or miss chance, etc ...it's called lazy programming/designing).
I've already mentioned in the past that the computers on these ships should be incredibly advanced and able to predict target movement and fire appropriately, the hit or miss factor should really be based on your position in "space" at the time, given that the weapon platforms are mounted in a specific manor that can put them into bad situations (unable to track well or hit the target because you are not properly aligned to the target). |

Pretty epic
I was noticing that there was a minor bug since the last few patches were some grouped lasers don't lock on a new target you are firing at until partway though the cycle.. didn't complain because it looked really nice. I assumed this had happened because you were working on it.
Hopefully hectic gunfire with be cutting through fleets for some spectacular light shows soon! |
