What if these things were to be introduced to eve
1. Weapons collision detection: Any ship in the path of another ship firing a gun or in the path of a traveling missile would receive damage.
2. Gang/fleet formation flying: The gang or fleet leader can set formation (sphere, wall, etc).
By making fire dangerous to your gang mates, blobbing would become troublesome as multiple ships would in sight of your guns/missiles. By using formation, you could optimize your fire power better against a foe.
Of course this would be hard to program, and probably implement, but does anyone think this would be a great feature in this game?

This has been suggested before. It seems to appear useful but realize what this would do to the game. This would mean enemies could surround and protect a ship to keep it from getting hit, thus creating a blob. Also, friendly fire would be incredibly annoying and hard to deal with especially in large fights which for the forseeable future will always have some bit of lag to them. Moving ships in conditions like that is near impossible. Just my thoughts about it.
P.S. "Sphere" is a very BAD idea for a formation, it's called a powerball and i think we have enough issues with those already...isn't that the problem you're trying to remedy?

This is actually not a bad idea in principle.
PRoblem would be server load, I imagine the additional calculations would crunch it.
Could see it in a few years with more horsepower.

1. is a horrible idea because it would create massive amounts of lag
2. could be pretty helpful if it cuts down on collision detection calculations for the server

You know that a blob is not just a group of ships in a big bundle right?

Didnt this used to happen WAY BACK WHEN, with torpedos, in that the blast radius would effect everything inside of it, not just the target. Which ment many Concordokkens and introduced the tactic of asking your friends not involved in the war to orbit your ship so they would hopefully get hit with said ordanence and cause the opposition in the war to get dead.
While its an awesome idea in principle, in practice it wouldnt work.

I quite like hte idea of being able to order a simple formation alongs the lines of a line abrest or line astern

As long as you have a large number of ships togther and they are all within the same grid it doesn't matter how they are flying. The lag (which the only negative thing about the "blob") is the exact same. And your idea just makes the lag worse with additional calculations.

Imagine a bigass ship, a titan or a freighter, acting as a sheild.
Everyone would use drone ships with remote repairers on the bigship to give it a massive tank and let the drones move around the ship.

Your probably remembering right, I'm using second hand information in my post.
