Most of the people will already have the intel.
What is the point of not being able to check what is going on?
If the timer for re docking was set to a length creating a real risk for undocking I would understand that there is a game design behind it, but the way it is Indicates that this is an heritage of shuffled priorities and probably one of the higher hanging dev fruit...
After 10 years, it would be nice to see this fixed, one way (allow checking outside the station from within) or the other (increase the re-docking time to commit an undocking ship to a blind fight if playing without alt or intel)
the second one though would lead to a majority of lowsec stations being camped, afterall, it means your sebo'd tornados with a sebo'd inty on the undock get free kills, which would lead to no one undocking if there were other people in local.
hell, the whole station system is a pain in the ass, because the entire system discourages fights, because once your at the point where your station camping, the fights just stop happening, since the docked people have no clue WHAT is outside or how badly they are outnumbered/outmatched, they just wont undock, or they completely outnumber the enemy, so undock, adn the enemy leaves before a shot is even fired.
Kinda why, in my darkest EVE wishes, i wish ships and everythign else in EVE, were visible, if thyre docked, theyre IN a dock, you can see out, they can see in, everyone can fight mid-docking to inside the station. you know, the full star wars experience.
Star Citizen was supposed to be this but star citizen dropped that ball a week or two after it was announced with every other bad design decision they made (read as almost everything theyve decided). and even then its not the "full experience".
I eman yes this is a rant, just in my most wonderous dreams I wish EVE hada mind control helmet and was matrix style in ingame realism, thatd be fun. unfortuenately we cant even get away from lag with the system we have now.
and before anyone says anything about how incoherent this post is, i know, im stuck between being half asleep and drugged up on pain killers, so im just hoping im hitting the tright keyz. |
