Nah, splash damage caused more problems that it solved. #1 of all was that it made missles almost totally un-useable in empire space. If it carried too far, and hit the wrong guy, CONCORD!
Almost as absurd was the anti-ship mines. Drop one off, and maybe nobody hits it for a while. Then while you're flying around in 0.0, somebody would hit that mine 10 jumps away, and Surprise! Concorded in 0.0! Oh, and they were lag-tastic too.

Easy way around that...confine splash "damage" to non-player objects. So that asteroids and other non-player act as obsticals, but there is no way to **** off other players or get aggroed by Concord.
I dunno...would make the game more interesting IMO, but I obviously got outvoted.
The one thing I still dont like that hasnt been changed is the fact that planets have no collision detection. I hate flying through planets.

Npcing at the arse end of JK-Fix then having to fly back to gehi to repair because armour repairers were rubbish.
Hiding behind a roid and chaining sansha juggernauts for hours on end.
Being hunted by Setec in empire space
Ignoring the travel advice to avoid Mara and seeing m0o in action. Then dying.
Travelling from Curse to yz-LQL to npc in my Moa with 425 artillery. It was about 170 jumps, no instas or mwd and my corp mates were npcing to buy an unlimited armageddon BPC from RUS
Seeing a load of people parading battleships at the Crielere Incident event, and getting blown up again.

sounds like fun times, I think it would be cool if some weapon collision detection was in the game. Hiding behind objects and such. And splash damage, I'm sure they could fix it to reduce concord deaths, but I guess then people would exploit it.

I may remember totaly wrong, but accidental splash damage from missiles where only one of the reasons why they changed them. The major reason was that it took a bunch of calculations to check if a missile or torpedo hit anything during it's 45-60s flight time, while the system we use today only checks this once-ish. (Anyone remember the nice "necklaces" you got when you fired torpedoes at interceptors?)

I remember when i first started i had no concept of it being an MMORG, i didnt understand what i meant as this is my first and only MMORG.
I joined up with some guys (FTO Cruise, Mandrill) in a newb corp and set a goal to make 3 battleships, 2 geddons and 1 apoc.
Spent 1 month mining omber for my precious geddon and still remember that feeling of when i climbed aboard.... ooh was great times. back then a bs was a serious achievement :P
Spent time in an empire corp and enjoyed all the missions and fun empire had to offer then joined an alliance and the game has gone on from there really.....
Today eve seems so serious, when you see the general way the community speaks to one another its amazing we are all still here. Eve has a fanatical player base which is the reason eve is still here but sometimes i do think that the obsessiveness of the game gets to people ( i remember the Xetic war and the 2 deaththreats i recieved, couldnt believe people took it that far).
Back in the day it was so mellow and with only like 5k people playing it was nice and quiet with established warzones in the usual places pvp and carebear were both happy. Seems more like Counter Strike nowadays. Round Draw...boom headshot! stabbed vagas, ability to log off in alliance space and disappear in 60 seconds, complexes spewing h4x isk out due to poor programming etc etc
With the new regions opening up i suppose it will start that empty space feeling again but if there is something of value there (precious ore, gas clouds, complexes, moons) then it wont take long for one or two of the big alliances to just claim it all and blockade it all up.
Eve certainly lost that special shine it used to have, maybe its age and the alliance life where by law you have to hate to the bone another entity who wear a different colour but seems we dont have the grand scale anymore, in fact it feels its a very small universe now.
Perhaps its time for the 'first ones' to pass beyond the rim to join the others and leave this universe to the younger races :)

... buying my first bestower for 1.2m, before I even created Karma.
creating Karma, and thinking I knew how to start out well :P
buying my first iteron II for 1m ... equipping it with a miner I, smartbomb and civilian shield booster... then heading out to mine...
with just enough engineering skill... I could run the civ booster indefinately, and no NPC pirates could get my shield down below 80% and in the case there were more than two... well that's what the smartbomb was for ;)
and so I spent many a day... but then, I Was unemployed and had a lot of anime to watch ;)
being scared to death of gate campers... hearing rumors of m0o putting up blockades every which where...
losing a vexor full with all of my belongings to three player pirates before the instigation of gate sentry guns..
still a bit ****ed at it actually... I opened first on one of them with my one of my three howitzers, removed half his shields with the first salvo. but before I could open fire on the other two... I lost my internet connection for five hours straight. :P
and thus, my two year long exodus from EVE started.
