If you're scrammed and burning away from the other guy, you're running. If you can't outrun him, you're still running... you're just being outrun.
Entering warp isn't just running - you are nigh invincible in a warp tunnel.
So, your suggestion is more accurately read as either..."Always able to run faster than the other guym" or, alternatively, "Always able to achieve temporary invulnerability."
The former is clearly nonsensical. We clearly can't have a situation where two people are always capable of outrunning each other.
The latter is even worse, from a gameplay perspective. How about a big blue button that instantly heals your ship and breaks lock, linked to your credit card. Say two bucks a pop.
PvP flag for consensual PvP only .... I'm sure someone will throw this into the discussion anytime now.

Whether you agree with OP or not is MEH (my pseudo word of the month), I love reading people's idea. With ideas come dialogue and with dialogue comes even better ideas. I think its safe to say a lot of what we experience in the Eve universe started out as nothing more than a forum post of ideas. So keep posting your ideas and again, MEH to the trolls.
ps: My idea would be for more space bunnies, more bunnies is always a good thing. |

What if no webs/scrams? "He who fight and run away live to fight another day?" Hmmm:
Engagements would then resemble real world naval history, which certainly has no 100% chance at anything.
The absurdity of two mods more powerful than any of our weapons "pretending to only" be able to affect propulsion, when they obviously infiltrate the shields (still up) the armor (still intact) and the hull (still intact) to "enter" the ship itself...think about it.
Gankers would have a very hard time devising a way to circumvent the mechanics to "generate content" using juvenile means that make the majority of all other "technology" in the game useless. Dunsels.
Only substantial, pre-planned, pre-organized a la Sun Tzu combat, or truly willing combat would ensue.
All the digitally brave guys running their mouths/keyboards about risk aversion, carebears, and how they're saving humanity with their "emergent game play" would at last be able to PUT UP OR SHUT UP, by not FLEEING a battle and allowing their apt opponent the kill shot...yeah...as if.
Lot's would happen if you dropped the two My Little Pony Magic Mods the "tough guys" can't live without.
You might have to actually THINK to play this GAME!
Yeah, right. And, pigs might fly out my butt.

Oh, now it's realism again.
Thing is - in Eve you cannot surround a position, cut off someones way of retreat, block someones path like Sun Tzu might have. They just hit warp and warp straight through everything in their way. Your whole "you'd have to think" argument would hold some water if there were other methods to prevent someone from going somewhere, but there aren't.
You know what really requires players to think? Disruptors, scrams and webs. Do you want to be in range of those, or don't you? |

The former, I rarely go anywhere where Concord is an issue, but holding onto people so they can't leave? That's my bread and butter baby.
Also the flip-side. If I'm flying through, get pointed/scrammed, try like hell to get out of range, fail, get blowed up. That is Love.

I love how the addicts puff themselves up and say things like "realism?" They like realism when it suits their ganking method. They cry foul and OP if it doesn't. Short Attention Span Theater at its finest.

There's no 100% chance of anything now, except 100% chance of invulnerability while in a warp tunnel (some smartbomb weirdness aside).
As I said before, you can already run away. The difficulty is that you have to actually run faster than your pursuer. The OP was not asking for the ability to always be able to run, he was asking for the ability to always be able to escape by employing the cunning tactic of clicking a universally available UI button.

There really isn't. Ganks are generally successful, but that is largely by virtue of the gankers doing a fine job in selecting incompetently piloted ships for their targets.
That aside, disruptors are rarely a factor in high-sec ganking. The limited timeframe granted by CONCORD response makes it a high alpha/burst-centric operation. Most ships will be dead before they could have gotten into warp anyway.

Why is it necessary to mischaracterize this?

An unsuccessful gank is a gank that doesn't happen. There are many freighter, industrial or barge pilots who know how to fly and fit their ships to not become a target in the first place. A freighter that has webs on him after every jump is not on grid long enough for most gankers to even bother. An industrial doing the mwd-cloak-warp trick on every gate may get slip through without ever getting noticed. A barge with 100k EHP usually doesn't even get touched.
On the other hand - gankers typically put at least some effort into finding out which targets they can take, and which ones they'd better let go. It's not exactly rocket science, but it's not like they just blindly shoot everything either.
Both avoiding ganks and ganking don't take a lot, but a bit of effort is involved on both ends.
What this has to do with the topic, though, I do not know. Disruptors/Scrams don't play that big a role in highsec ganking. It's nice to have them, but it's quite doable without them.

Ganking takes no skill at all.
Actually, many vs. 1 PVP takes no skill at all.
Actually, even with 1 vs. 1, or many vs. many PVP, the fight takes no skill at all; EVE ships are designed rock/paper/scissors from the undock, and there's nothing your paper can do to the scissors. Just like with chess, if you're in the wrong position, you're done; there's nothing you can do to save your pawn, queen, w/e. Unless the opponent makes rookie mistakes.
So the point is that all of us min-max our ships to kill by overwhelming force, not by a narrow margin or "skill," but "the enemy had no chance at all." It's the way war is. And thus, the decision to engage or run is instantaneous, as soon as you see what's on overview.
So why single out suicide ganking? Yeah they min-max for the kill, and only attack targets that are min-maxed for profit or mining yield or whatever. Otherwise they run, like the rest of the PVP playerbase, if a bigger group or a pvp-fitted group attacks them.
It's not a guilty little secret, and it's also not in need of being adjusted, as it doesn't use different rules of engagement than the rest of the PVP game. The only way to win a suicide gank if you're the transport or the miner, is to avoid it, and I'd argue that there's enough info presented via the map and the local channel lists to permit that. |

You talk utter rubbish, its not bad game design. , go play Counter Strike if you want to just shoot someone.
World of Warcraft have a bloody Rogue, that can hold you in place longer then a ship in EVE online can.
Whats else.... has similar effects...
Mage can sheep you for a entire match.. well if you suck donkey balls at the game. My Hunter can trap you, till the next expansion shows up. Warlocks, Make you run about like ya on steroids. Priest, mind control you, till you walk off a cliff.
Yes i did the World of Warcraft post in EVE online forums.... , but these mechanics are just about the same as what EVE online use.
I can list other games that have similar mechanics, that have been about for 10years.
Edited, i forgot to add this part:
I just trained to use a "Heavy Interdiction Cruiser" , Onyx "cough" , i might pvp at some point.
Yeah lets all just hit F1, & do what ? How would Blaster fits, actually hit anything ? Alliance Tournaments would be super Poo to watch without such mechanics
I was going to write something else, but forgot what it was.. I went for dinner.. haha
EVEBoard ...Just over 30million skill points, each skill was chosen for a reason. I closed my eyes & clicked another skill to train... "BINGO...!!!" ... "This time i got something usefull"

Confirming you've been utterly obliterated as far as points are concerned, let's see, PVE would be better if you had to commit to it? If you leave the anom/plex/belt whatever you lose what you were in space to hav a chance at? That already exists in a way, with finer points to stop people cloaky camping some sites. Wait are you saying you would like people to be able to opt out of combat at any time, but have to commit to PVE? You do understand that PVE content turns players into PVP content, right?

Look at you here? All anger and spite, flaming some stranger on the net. This encourages a belief in discourse?
Quote:, and no you aren't "calling out design flaws", you're just bitching that you can't endlessly grind without fear of loss.
I've said it before. In this thread. I lose things all the time. I don't care. I'm not even upset about losses. I frequently take risks. I don't find them bothersome... this is my main. Go look it up, killboard worshipper. I owned that Lachesis for 30 minutes, 230M down the drain just to test out recons.
See that's what's wrong here. Instead of talking, I'm written off. You assume that since you'd be upset if you lost isk, I must be too. And when I'm not, it's just confusing...
And you don't have time to be confused. Or learn. Or consider. Just flame and move on. |

* Got a lot of junk to haul back to hub, but it's late and not a lot of time * Fit a Nereus with junk I have laying around to pick up my empty beer cans over 12 systems Fit is similar to fit I use in a Helios to escape decloaking solo ambushers in data and relic sites... not gonna survive a gate camp. And weejend night, so gate camp is likely... but no worries, its not stuff I need or care about.
* Notices 2 flashing red on local. Common for people to lay traps in pipes as I'm moving through. Maybe there's two. Two would likely have maybe 3 points between them. I got 3 stabs. I'll make it. And if not, I don't need this stuff.
* Jump... 5 guys. Well I'm toast. Burn back to gate? Won't make it. Guess I take my medicine... Perhaps I'll try to dump my cargo and these guys can have it. Too bad there's no piracy in the game; they'll not talk so a fun social arrangement will not happen...
"Odd. Who sits on a gate? Why? For money? I suppose that was good payout for them. What a yawdry way to make profits. I could have gotten away if I cared. Different fit, different path, different time..."
"Their game play depends on points. If I had a way to move away, they'd get nothing. Would there even be camps - a play style that seems to me unfun - if that was true? How would they play? What would it be like? How would the game empower their play style, a different play style?"
See I don't care. Its just a game.
