Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.31 10:46:00 - [1] Originally by: Darklorden If in combat then its a viable tactic, but if you're just bumping or being bumped as a mean to harass then it can be reported and a GM will warn you. Yeah, like that's gonna happen ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.31 11:29:00 - [2] Originally by: Sheriff Jones Originally by: Darklorden If we had a true "cold hard world of EVE" there wouldn't be any Concord or high or low sec space, just lawless space everywhere. Since this game needs a steady income to stay alive there has to be some rules, otherwise only the hardcore players would still remain after the gankatons had passed by. A friend of mine got warned after being petitioned for a few "harmless" bumps. Not the point really. shooting ships in lowsec/0.0 has rules. Bumping ships should have same rules. If anyone can give a good reason why a bumping module wouldn't improve the game tactics, and game lore in itself, i'm open to hear them BECAUSE IT'S A MODULE THAT INTERACTS WITH SHIP VELOCITY, MASS AND AGILITY! ALL MODULES THAT DID THAT WERE NERFBATTED TO MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.

ALL MODULES THAT DID THAT WERE NERFBATTED TO MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS But...it doesn't. It interacts with the collision avoiding system i place(lore wise), rendering it offline OH, then it's not doable at all. You know, the bubble system the client and server use to create the space simulation and stuff? well, it works on collision bubbles. Rendering them offline...duh... ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.31 11:41:00 - [4] Originally by: T'rek Originally by: Darwin Duck Bumping should be allowed, but it should also be fixed. A frigate should not be able to bump battleships. The BS should not even notice that the frig bumped into it. They don't... ...Until it's too late ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.31 11:49:00 - [5] Edited by: Concorduck on 31/12/2008 11:49:56 Originally by: Heikki As most above, I seem to recall certain classes of bumping classed as exploits through petitions. Namely, trying to harass a non-war target in Empire, and request ransom to let the freighter move on. And how is that even remotely an exploit? Freighters can just logoffski multiple times and be 5m km away from the gate, since THAT isn't considered an exploit i sort of miss why should bumping that freighter and ask for ransom considered an exploit? EDIT: THEN WHO WAS PHONE! ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.31 13:45:00 - [6] I fail to see where the "bumpage harassment" is. Seriously, how many times did you logoffski your freighter in a gatecamp? ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.31 16:22:00 - [7] Originally by: 5pinDizzy Make bumping a concordable act, remains a valid combat tactic, while hilarity ensues outside stations in highsec. Jita 4-4 OH, THE GLORY! ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2008.12.31 17:05:00 - [8] Originally by: Eliza Farcaster Originally by: Zaerlorth Maelkor Continually bumping someone is not an exploit if you do it for a specific purpose, like tackling someone until your friends arrive to blow him up. If you, however, do it for pure harassment then it's ban-able. Would stopping them moving their ship not count as a specific purpose? I.e bumping a random guy in high sec to ransom him. Pay me a mill or you wont be warping for the next half hour.... Sounds like a broken game mechanic that desperately needs fixing. Would clicking Ctrl-Q, Logging back in and logging out rapidly again not count as a specific countermeasure? I.e repeating the process different times to get your ship 3m km away from the bumper and laugh at him from your safespot... Sounds like a broken game mechanic that desperately needs fixing. ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2009.01.02 20:55:00 - [9] Originally by: Dantes Revenge It's a tactic but IMO, a pretty lame one as it shows no skill. If you want to stop something warping, there are already modules for that. Now that there are ways to stop a supercap warping, this bumping tactic should be revised in terms of physics or removed completely. There are still point-click navigation skills required, wich 90% of the eve's playerbase seems to be missing. and, seriously, only few people can keep something really bumped down to 2m/s for some time. ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2009.01.03 12:15:00 - [10] Bump = No Damage. Bump is fine. ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2009.01.03 17:04:00 - [11] Originally by: Ghoest If you do it in high sec just to prevent someone from playing the game its an exploit. Oh noes, it was written by an alt, IT MUST BE TRUE! ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
