Cinimrat Amarr Black Flame Industries	Posted - 2008.11.17 04:38:00 - [1] Hi Everyone! Id like to say that I recently resubbed for the release of Quantum Rise and Im really loving some of the new stuff in this expansion. I'm finally trying out FW and that's great certificates are neat and I dont really fly missile ships so i dont care that they were nerfed. Get over it carebears! But there's some thing that upsets me and a small group of players in EVE regarding the new stargates. Their beautiful, and we love those. Theyre big and we love that too, but theres a problem with that. This particular group of players gets a special kind of satisfaction from using gates. Not jumping through them per se but flying into them, perferably with Apocs and Geddons. There isnt really a name for the particular type of group we are but ther are definitely some of us around (Check us out at TheGateHumpers chat ingame - no trolls please! Rest assured we've already heard all of the jokes). Anyway, we were excited about getting the new revamped stargates and boy do they look good in premium, but there's something different about them now - we can't fly "into" them anymore! We just harmlessly bounce off before we can even get close to the center, and this is true for all of the gates, not just the Amarr ones. This is really disappointing to the community because we really perfer to FRAPS out activities instead of having to go through the trouble of exporting them and rendering them in a different program. I realize that there are probably good reasons for it being like it is now, but is there any way that CCP could create a way to turn this off, maybe an option in the client? It would really make things easier for our community to get its entertainment. So anyway, Is there any possible way that CCP could do this? A dev comment would be appreciated! -Cinimrat

Cinimrat Amarr Black Flame Industries	Posted - 2008.11.17 04:45:00 - [3] Originally by: DJ Tim Fully in support of what the OP is demanding. Sorry if I was unclear. Basically we would like to be able to fly through the center of stargates again (with something as large as a battleship) instead of bouncing off like we do currently. This was different before Quantum Rise.
Verx Interis Amarr Aurora Security Sc0rched Earth	Posted - 2008.11.17 05:04:00 - [4] /signed My corpmate spent 10 minutes ranting once because of the stargate hitboxes. "If I see a ring, I want to fly through it, damnit!" Your bad loan management perfectly strikes the stock market, wrecking for -777.68 points. A.SEC is recruiting
Demeterus	Posted - 2008.11.17 05:11:00 - [5] Let me see if I understand this correctly... There is a hole in space. You want to drive a long shiny apoc into the hole. Hmm. Isn't gallenteships more suited for that kind of thing?

You want to drive a long shiny apoc into the hole. Hmm. Isn't gallenteships more suited for that kind of thing? Well some are alright but the thorax is pretty small compared to the size of the gate. The Amarr Battleships are a lot better suited to them.

When jokes are in question, i never rest assured it's been fully addressed Guy 1: Hey, heard of the Gate Humpers accident? Guy 2: No, what happened? Guy 1: Some guy was halfway into the gate when it activated, took the whole front part of the Thorax. Guy 2: Oh...mazel tov? My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.

ApaKaka Lone Starr Corporation	Posted - 2008.11.17 09:09:00 - [14] Signed. I find it depressing that EVE takes a step backwards technology-wise and just use one bounding box that you bounce off. The "need for speed" initiative really shouldn't extend to breaking immersion by using old Quake 1 collision detection methods...

Cinimrat Amarr Black Flame Industries	Posted - 2008.11.17 14:15:00 - [16] Anyone else care to weigh in on this subject? There are more of us out there, they could at least post even if they're using alts!

Rakshasa Taisab Caldari Sane Industries Inc. Ursa Stellar Initiative	Posted - 2008.11.17 15:31:00 - [18] I'm glad I'm not the only one who's looked at gallente stargates and amarr battleships, thinking naughty thoughts.
