Zee Zen	Posted - 2007.05.18 13:43:00 - [1] Does it really make sense that a shuttle can bump a much larger ship and prevent it from aligning for warp? If CCP is fixing web-warping, shouldn't physics-defying bumping also be fixed to keep things balanced? A much smaller ship should have very little effect on a larger ships velocity. I realize this would change inty's usefulness, but the change would make sense, right?
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.05.18 13:46:00 - [2] I agree that bumping should not be possible with tiny ships; a Titan should not be able to get stuck on a shuttle. If someone wants to bump, they should have to use a ship of similar size to the one they're bumping, or at least within an order of magnitude (cruiser hitting BS, etc). --23 Member-- Listen to EVE-Trance Radio!
Hugh Ruka Caldari	Posted - 2007.05.18 13:48:00 - [3] Bumping is not exploit. I got an answer to a petition that it is a normal game mechanic. So next time you get bumped off station/gate or out of lockrange when dampened, you cannot complain. Actualy it is easy to implement it correctly with ship damage and all, but who cares ? The DEVs do certainly not. Originally by: JP Beauregard The experience with Exodus playtesting has scarred me for life. Those were bug-reports, not feature requests, you numbskulls....
Tarron Sarek Gallente Cadien Cybernetics	Posted - 2007.05.18 13:49:00 - [4] Edited by: Tarron Sarek on 18/05/2007 13:51:02 Yes, it would make lots of sense. Just put a mass relation in there to see which ship moves by which fraction of the distance needed to seperat the objects. Oh, and some less erratic swinging and turning of large ships, like battleships, while 'disentangling' would also work wonders on immersion and looks. How about just moving large ships sideways to reduce it? Everything bigger than a battlecruiser should have an absolutely fixed turning rate, to simulate and depict inertia, mass and size. _________________________________ - People are people wherever you go -

Remember that movie about the Wars going on in the Stars, and all it took was a tiny fighter to shoot a single shot down an exhaust port to kablominaize a Star of Deathination? I shot a man in Mara, just to watch him Die.

Saori Rei Gallente Arcana Imperii Ltd. The Cartel.	Posted - 2007.05.18 13:55:00 - [9] Bumping stops that irritating carrier station campers. I hope it -isn't- an exploit though from a purely realistic point of view a shuttle shouldnt be able to even budge a titan.
Imperator Jora'h	Posted - 2007.05.18 13:55:00 - [10] Originally by: Hugh Ruka Bumping is not exploit. True. When someone asked a Dev awhile ago just how they imagined a Titan ever getting killed via normal game mechanics (i.e. no metagaming) a very large part of the Dev's answer was bumping the hell out of the Titan. So, far from being an exploit it seems the Devs view it as an integral part of combat mechanics within EVE. That said yes, there really needs to be some rhyme and reason to ship mass when a bump occurs. Technically running your ski boat into an aircraft carrier would bump the carrier a smidge but I doubt it would be noticeable and it is your ski boat that will do the vast majority of the moving.

Agent Li	Posted - 2007.05.18 14:13:00 - [15] Originally by: Dark Shikari Edited by: Dark Shikari on 18/05/2007 13:50:55 I agree that bumping should not be possible with tiny ships; a Titan should not be able to get stuck on a shuttle. If someone wants to bump, they should have to use a ship of similar size to the one they're bumping, or at least within an order of magnitude (cruiser hitting BS, etc). The problem with bumping is that there are actually two types of bumping: a) You hit another ship. It moves. In this case, a shuttle can't do much to a large ship--its working properly. b) You put your ship IN THE PATH OF another ship. In this case, a shuttle can stop a titan. This is bugged to hell. I agree that there should be some correspondence to the relative sizes of the ships, and the bumping effect. I also believe that there should be damage. ------------------ "Don't be afraid to take advantage of your enemy's weaknesses. Becasuse winning is everything after all."
Kazuo Ishiguro	Posted - 2007.05.18 14:13:00 - [16] Originally by: Susan Acid There's no gravity in space.Therefore a shuttle weighs as much as a Titan.I suppose? Correct, but irrelevant.

I dont like the current system. BUT i wouldnt want the alternative not in a thousand years. Nobody suggests that ramming a ship should produce damage effects (althou this would make things interresting) because the fine art of ship control is not possible in EVE. What we are suggesting is to implement a measure of inertia (or resistance) to change speed when bumped. Imagine an interceptor ramming a Titan. The titan should not move and the inty should come to an instant halt. In smaller scales, the inty has a posibility to move a battleship a bit, but he still comes to a halt when he slams into it. This would prevent small and fast ship abuse like this, because when you ram a BS in an inty, you get webed and pulverized instantly. At the moment the impact produces enough transversal for the bs guns to not hit you at all. Originally by: JP Beauregard The experience with Exodus playtesting has scarred me for life.

But seriously bumping is fine. Its great fun and these rl-logic arguments are just flawed to hell. I don't want things in eve to work like in RL - its a game. Don't take it so serious plz Actually you don't care about rl physics. (if you really do please explain warpdrives to me with rl physics) You care about your haulers that are bumped and killed despite having tons of wcs. Of course this is totally legitimate and you are entitled to your opinion - but don't try to hide behind some poor excuses.

Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.05.18 17:06:00 - [28] It may not be an exploit, but every idiot who bumps my Mack when I'm ice mining gets a nice harassment petition sent in. There is no reason for them to bump my exhumer, short of bothering me. If they were bumping me to gank, whatever, thats why I'm in high sec.
Avon Caldari Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.18 17:14:00 - [29] The ruling used to be that if bumping is used in conjuntion with shooting it was valid. If it was done only to prevent a ship from aligning, with no intention of destruction, it was not allowed. Bumping as part of combat was fine, but doing it only to annoy (or ransom) was not. I think that was a sensible position, but I do not know what the current position is. The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur

Read carefully the original post and the followuing one. He was speaking of a war situation were the one bumping was at war with the Titan. The key is in that "at war with the target". So if the target can retaliate against the one bumpint it is ok, it the target can't retaliate (high sec), it is an exploit.

As the dev post was used as a pro argument, I pointed that it was limited to war situations, not intended as a general suggestion.

El Chico Minmatar BlackHole Entertainment	Posted - 2007.05.25 12:03:00 - [44] Collison damage? Cmon the servers have a hard time handling the lots of us already. What do you think will happen if the servers also have to calculate collision damage between every ship? And on top of that I think alot of pilots wouldnt be happy if they undock in a mission hub or jita and get instantly blown up by collision damage.
Onnawa Minmatar Alcohol Fueled Brutality X-PACT	Posted - 2007.05.25 12:30:00 - [45] Everyone is missing the point. Bumping isn't "pushing" another ship, and the game mechanics reflect this fact. Jump in a frigate or shuttle and take a run at a battleship from the side.....you skip like a rock. What "bumping" actually is...onboard navcomps. Air traffic control has them to prevent mid-air collisions, so why wouldn't you have them in space to prevent pile-ups at docking tubes and stargates? That's why smaller ships can move battleships, dreads, and titans from the proper angle (namely from the front)...it's the bigger ship automatically correcting to keep from running over the little guy. So how do bigger ships come together and push each other around? That brings us to Sci-Fi 101 Lesson #2: deflector shielding. See, space is full of all sorts of nasty hunks and chunks and bits of rock from the size of a pencil eraser to bigger than the human body, and they're all moving at completely random and usually horrendously high speeds. Deflector shielding prevents ships in space from getting perforated. In fact, that's NASA's major hang-up on a Mars mission at this point.....they aren't sure how to get a large manned craft there and back again without it turning into swiss cheese going there and back again. If you doubt me, check up on how long the flight crews have spent on the past few shuttle flights checking the heat tiles on the underside of their bird for micrometeor damage. Lose and ceramic tile, and it's Columbia all over again...... So, when two larger craft meet in space (nano-domi vs other BS, for example) there is something of a collision per sae, but it's shield on shield, so no damage occurs. The rest of it is just a violent navcomp compensation to keep from getting shredded like paper. Here is where CCP needs to add the only adjustment to the current system....High Speeds. The person doing the high-speed ramming needs to feel it...big time. The ship taking the hit wouldn't feel it as much, being the "stationary" object, relatively speaking. Jump on a motorcycle and ride it into a cinderblock wall at 60 mph....then ask the wall if it cares. The answer is "not really"...but you and the bike sure as hell do. In a ramming spaceship, the structural integrity forcefields would become over-taxed and fail, and the inty doing 5km/s would splatter against the deflection shield like that bug that hit your windshield last time you went for a latenight drive in the summer. So, in summation....not an exploit, just a bit of science fiction waiting to become science fact, although in some instances the act of ramming should severely cripple, if not completely destroy the agressor's ship. _____________________________________ I'm not a Pirate.

If a penny knocks into a staionary titan then the momentum is carried forward... so the penny stops and the titan gets bounced away. lol I love space physics Yes, and no. The energy required to move an object in space, and everywhere else, is proportional to it's mass. So, if a penny is going at 10000 m/s and crashes into a stationary object which has a million times the mass of the penny, a portion of the kinetic energy of the penny is transfered into the object it crashed into, but since the object with a million times the mass of the penny requires a lot more energy to get moving, it might take off at 0.01 m/s or whatever, but would no where near fly off into space. If both were in motion and they hit head on, then the object of higher mass would slow by the amount of the energy in relation to it's mass impacted on it by the less massive object. For a planet like Earth, which has a mass of about 6000 yoctograms, if my conversion from kg to g is correct, thats 6000 x 10^24, and has enough energy to move it through space at around 30 km/s, you'd have to hit it with something really massive, like another planet, going pretty quickly to have a hope of disrupting it's motion through space. - Phoenix Britannian

WTS: Physics 101 Inertia depends solely on mass, not weight. actually, he's right, since both are weightless, they DO weigh the same: absolutely bugger all! however, the titan has a much greater MASS which is (as DS said) what is relevant here. i like the thought of titans not being bumped by shuttles, but instead removing said obstacles from their path (possibly which a satisfying "thud" as the shuttle detonates across the bow of the titan) the simple solution would be to have all the bumping effects apply only to the less-massive ship, so a shuttle would get bumped well clear and a freighter would simple continue on it's merry way as if nothing had happened. ========================================== Iy please remember: I AM a sarcastic ******* and nothing i say has ever represented the thoughts or feelings of my corp, alliance, or anyone really. read
Janu Hull Caldari Order of Z Industries	Posted - 2007.05.25 18:24:00 - [54] Edited by: Janu Hull on 25/05/2007 18:26:19 Considering the velocities ships move at in EVE, I'm pretty sure there's some serious inertial dampening involved. You're average person would be crushed against a wall moving at 100m/s, moving at 200m/s would be enough to kill them, moving at 2900m/s would be enough to reduce the human body to a thin organic film against the back wall. Dialing down inertia negates vast the mass effect, therefore an inertially dampened Titan very well could have the same effective mass as an intertially dampened frigate. I base this on the g forces caused. Earth's native gravity is 9.8 meters per second. Round to 10m/s for simplicity, and look at the velocities attained by some of the faster recon frigates. Also consider that inertial movement would mean that constant thrust would cause constant acceleration. Obviously, the physics model in EVE does not support this, so its only assumable that constant thrust needed for movement is the result of seriously negated inertial motion. So in collisions, mass just isn't a factor. This is my sig, there are many others just like it. With me, my sig is worthless. Without (or with even) my sig, I am worthless...

In this case, a shuttle can stop a titan. This is bugged to hell. Or more often, a corpse can stop and undocking carrier/dread for about half an hour Originally by: Jim McGregor I felt the disturbance... it was like a million voices suddenly stopped whining for a second. Unfortunantly it then continued.
Nox Solaris	Posted - 2007.05.25 18:48:00 - [56] CCP needs to fix the clipping issue if bumping is not a 'bug'... ships should in no way be able to put themselves inside another ship. So if your shuttle emerges from a station with a titan sitting at the door it should get shot off somewhere like a watermellon seed. Conversely a titan emerging from a station should shove the shuttle out of the way at the speed of the titan (no more slinging).

Earth's native gravity is 9.8 meters per second. Round to 10m/s for simplicity, and look at the velocities attained by some of the faster recon frigates. Almost, but not entirely correct... Gravity is a force, which is defined as *(mass)(acceleration). Acceleration, however, is (velocity)/(change in time)**. A person could theoretically travel at any speed imaginable (the rotational velocity of the earth is approximately 470m/s, its orbital velocity is approximately 29800m/s, and we're not constantly worried about accidentally falling to the west or flying off the planet) However, your point would still remain valid if we considered the amazing acceleration capacity of these ships. ... But EVE is not a physics simulator.

Hopefully it's updated someday. It's not an exploit, but it sure smells like one, looks like one, etc... Building the homestead

That said, doesn't make the physics model in play all that great.
Thaeya Venushika	Posted - 2007.09.14 04:38:00 - [60] Quote: the simple solution would be to have all the bumping effects apply only to the less-massive ship, so a shuttle would get bumped well clear and a freighter would simple continue on it's merry way as if nothing had happened. The problem with this solution is if a BS bumped a cruiser, the cruiser would go flying since it has less mass. I agree with the anchoring idea, with no anchoring allowed at or near stations. If a ship is anchored, it shouldn't move. I've had my BS bumped, well pretty much rammed into from a cruiser flying at 5000 m/s. I was thrown at over 1000 m/s! That's a bit extreme
Druadan Gallente Aristotle Enterprises Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2007.09.14 06:05:00 - [61] Originally by: Zee Zen Does it really make sense that a shuttle can bump a much larger ship and prevent it from aligning for warp? If CCP is fixing web-warping, shouldn't physics-defying bumping also be fixed to keep things balanced? A much smaller ship should have very little effect on a larger ships velocity. I realize this would change inty's usefulness, but the change would make sense, right? It's not an exploit, it's just crappy game mechanics. ### I nearly finish carriers, and they nerf it. I nearly finish Amarr recons, and they make them useless. Vagabond pilots beware... I have bought Minmatar Cruiser.
