I’m reminded of flat-earthers telling me to “prove the round Earth!!1”
Nice try, but not a flaw in the proposal.
If I push you irl, will you still go straight as if nothing happened?
Or will you go in the direction I pushed you until you recover and go back where you wanted to go?
Your idea makes no sense whatsoever
There is no actual physical contact by either ship.
Its just the fields repulsing each other.
As to the physics of that, if my PEG field is greater than yours, its you that should be bumped way the hell back.
The proposal works.
Decouple alignment from bumping.
You can still use warp scram/disrupt/bubble, as is their purpose, to prevent a warp.
You can still bump miners off ice.
So there’s contact anyway… lol
Repeating that over and over again doesn’t prove anything but your denial of the evidence shown in this thread, or any other where you use the same tactic
You’ve been measured,
You’ve been weighted,
And you’ve been found wanting
Gf
According to Max, the more massive the ship, the greater its PEG field, and thus repulsive effect on another ship impacting with it.
That has nothing to do with velocity. Its inherent in the nominal mass of the ship and its PEG systems.
Ergo, the repulsive effect is based purely on the magnitude of the PEG field, which is not increased by velocity, but inherent to the ship and how many PEG systems it has activated, and the strength of the field based on the hull size.
The proposal works.
You can still bump, but it just wont affect aligning.
If you want to prevent warp, use the extant warp scrams/disruptors/bubbles implemented specifically for that purpose.
There he goes again…
The denial still strong
If you dont care, whats the problem?
Y’all are silly.
Bumping ain’t broke, so don’t fix it.
It’s a tool.
I don’t know why it was implemented over ramming, but that ship has sailed.
I see no reason to change now.
If absolutely necessary, add a timer to separate a viable tactic from griefing or ill prepared attackers, but the changes y’all are asking for above might very well be a re-write of EvE piloting.
And besides… shouldn’t y’all take this to PF&I?

Im my proposal you can still bump, just not by interfering with engaging warp.
Warp scrams/disruptors/bubbles already exist for that specific purpose.
You, your attitude, your misinformation about basic stuff and your lack of willingness to learn.
Living is easy with eyes closed
Fine by me if you don’t want to learn stuff, but stop going around spreading baseless information coming from your head…
I learned. I was wrong.
But that was not relevant to the proposal.
Common Misconceptions about Exploits
This passage contains common tactics and other player conduct that is often mistakenly reported as exploits but are in fact not.Ship Bumping
Ram the ship of another player with your own in order to prevent them from warping.
CCP has already OK’d this…why would they implement a fundamental change to go against what they’ve already ruled?
–Confused Gadget
But it was relevant to a n00b (like me) who might have believed you know what you’re talking about, and acted accordingly…
Watch out now, he’s going to say you’re my alt…

why would they implement a fundamental change to go against what they’ve already ruled?
Because its redundant.
Bumping can occur even without the aligning impairment.
If you want to prevent warp, there are already 3 tools to do so with.

But it was relevant to a n00b (like me) who might have believed you know what you’re talking about, and acted accordingly…
Then that would suck for you.
Dont believe everything you read.
4 tools.
Bumping is one of them.

4 tools.

The other three are module based.
Bumping causes a physical bump.
It need not also have the same effect as these 3 other options, when those three other options cannot perform a bump, either.
Post my proposal, bumping can still be done, it just wont cause an alignment problem to prevent warp.

It need not also have the same effect as these 3 other options, when those three other options cannot perform a bump, either.
And yet, in the correct circumstances, it does.
Why change it?
It isn’t new. The OP is about how to avoid this tool.
The tool is useful in limited circumstances to interfere with warping.
I find your proposal without merit.
And by my reading of CCP’s earlier rulings - they will as well.
But by all means keep trying to refine your proposal.
Who know’s maybe the devs will find something they like.
But they won’t if it’s still in GD.
If you’re keeping your proposal here on a thread about how to avoid bumping then you’re just ranting.
–Gadget implores you to use the proper tools

Bumping causes a physical bump.

There is no actual physical contact by either ship.
Contradicting yourself much?
Just stop posting as it’s pretty clear now that you have no clue what you’re saying lol
