The OP's message screams of troll, or just somebody who's new to eve and wants to cry because it isn't WOW, but I'll answer to it anyway.
For game idea one regard "Better safespots". This was already done to a certain extent. You used to have HUGE grids for solar systems allowing a pilot to simply fly off 50 au away from the nearest celestial, and get a "deep safe spot" as they were known. CCP changed this somewhat.
You can still fly off and make you deep safes, but the grid is shrunk down to 20au, small enough for probers, but you can still get well outside of D-scan range. As for the idea of a skill giving you seemingly "magic safespots", what happened to your realism? You can't make a safe spot without flying to, or passing through, the space you want to bookmark. So why would a skill give you further or better bookmarks, you still need to get their.
For Idea number 2, better protection, well, why? For one thing, if you are in safe spot, then the tactics used to find yuou are already pretty tricky (probes, or d-scan and fast flight) and they both leave BIG windows to notice them. If you see probes on scan, especially near you, what do you think they are doing? And yeah, a cloak solves both issues, since probes and D-scan wont pick up a cloaked ship.
As to getting GCC for launching probes, why? If you are walking through a bad neighbhorhood and see some guy with binoculars, do you call the cops? dont think so. Probing is in no way an agressive act, even pinning a ship isn't, since you haven't effected the ship in any way what-so-ever. GCC for probing just makes me think somebody stole your candy, grow up cup-cake, it's a scary world out there.
As to your comments on a frigate Vs a BS, again, you fail. You compare a navy BS to a fishing boat, but that's not really accurate now is it? Try something like an infantry unit vs a tank. Sure, one proper shot form the tank and the infantry is blown away. But if that infantry unit is running circles around the tank, do you think his cannon will track the lil man? don't think so.
Now give the infantry unit a belt of grenades. A single one won't do much to the BS, but over time with the tank wasting is fuel and ammo missing the man, the infantry unit can widdle down the tank. It's not fast, and one wrong move and the infantry is dead, but if he keeps moving then the tank can't hit him, and he has the advantage.
"Confucious say, don't use cannon to kill fly" , Lobbing a basketball at a mosquito usually means you hit nothing but air.
Lastly, warp cor stabs work just fine, but they do not guarantee safety. If you have 1 stab on you can resist a 1 point warp disruptor, so if they bring a 2 point scram, then the warp core stab is useless.
Read the item descriptions, read the forums, read the guides, learn to fly, don't fly what you can't afford to lose.
Above all, man up, real men hull tank, and stop whining, Welcome to New Eden.
PS: i just realised how ugly my tank vs infantry comparison is, oh well. |
