It used to be just the freighters carrying too high value cargo that were targetted, but now, even empty ships are targetted.

I personally don't care if changes are made to fix this or not. It doesn't affect me directly, I do not use frieghters or other high value ships. This is just an observation I made, a line was crossed when they started targetting empty ships just for the sake of it. Is it time for change?

120+ pages and people still want to stick their heads in the sand.

I would like to see EvE grow. EvE has been lucky due to a lack of competition. It is a niche game. At some point someone will invent a user friendly space game and then truly the bitter vets will have EvE to themselves. And then when they realize that there are no newbies to exploit they will slowly leave blaming most likely someone else.

IMHO a problem with EvE is that it follows EvE logic. People say EvE is hard. I disagree. I say Eve is not intuitive because it follows it own logic. This is by choice and IMHO self limiting.

Take for instance miner bumping. Two objects collide and the net result is....nothing? Here would be a simple solution that is both logical and support both sides. Bumping causes damage based upon the force of the collision. Wow, what a concept.

A second minor change would benefit miners, miner bumpers, gankers and gankees. There are no criminal effects until shields are depleted. In other words until you can show the officer damage he will not show up to write a ticket (or blow you up).

This would allow people to bump, within reason. It would also allow people to shoot anyone anywhere as long as they didn't go past shields.

But the second you cross the easily recognizable, well defined line the consequences should be sudden and without escape in hi sec. This concept is easy to understand and dos not require a whole lot of "if this then" thinking.

People should not have to read a tutorial or watch a YouTube video to understand how to do the simplest things in a GAME.

This is just a taste of logic that EvE could use. Now bring on the bitter vets who say EvE is about adapting, as long as it means everybody but them.

And then you go on to explain how things are even though they still make no sense to a new player and finish with the beloved "bad".

Your honor I have no case to make because the defendant keeps making it for me.

So in the above a person points out that Jita would be a mess if collision caused damage, an artifact of bad coding. This is one reason EvE is not intuitive, the laws of physics are secondary to CCPs ability to code.

So what would happen in real space? First they would have some sort of traffic control to prevent collisions. Pretty sure CCP could implement that. Also seeing the success other markets would open up nearby, success breeds competition. We players could do that. But no CCP and we sit on hands because Jita must be Jita. Instead we have a bogus collision mechanic which (surprise, surprise) can be exploited.

Adapt or die does not apply just to new pilots.

Recode the entire base game!? I will let the software gurus explain why the entire base game does not have to be recoded to add damage (something that exists in game) to collisions (something that exists in game). And causing that damage to eventually result in a response (something that exists in game).
