Exactly , vaporised I mean it takes heavy damage or even destroyed. It’s not a solid object like a bullet, it has rooms, compartments , etc, so with such an impact it would be e totally destroyed or suffer catastrofic damage, also deviating the big object from course a little too
Bullets aren’t always solid, and the ones that aren’t do far more damage than the ones that are, because they transfer the energy more efficiently.
A solid round will put a hole in you, a hollow one will turn a pretty big chunk of you into dog meat.

Yes but the point is the bullet gets ruined either way, and ships aren’t build to do damaged but to fly, generate power, it must have space for pilot, engines ,generators , hidraulic fluidsz etc. That make it fragile so will not do SIGNIFICANT damage to big object( Wich has same specs as the small one, but has SIGNIFANCT more armor ) also comparing bullet and ship speeds , ships don’t get that fast I think. Not sure on a bullet speed
Aiko frowned, consulting an engineering manual, “Actually, the fragility of the impacting ship does not minimize damage. As Jonah observed, greater fragility will actually enable the ship to flow like a fluid, and transmit energy more efficiently.” She got a calculator from her desk, pink and covered in stickers, “I’m not sure how much damage is caused by a ship collision, but…” she kept typing in numbers, “… but I imagine it’s not a trivial amount of damage.”

Freighters aren’t armoured, they’re literally boxes with engines.

Tell that to the shipyard engineers tasked with installing the Capital Armor Plates.

That’s a shipyard scam, those capital armour plates they use on freighters, cheap Minmatar knockoffs made from whats left over at the ship(wreck)yard

EVE Online could use a ganking holiday. I was loading through space and saw way too many miners sitting in highsec belts mining away.
It’s so sad to see these people, some of whom are paying real money for Omega time to fly some of these ships, waste their loves only playing a tiny portion of what EVE has to offer. There is more to the game than mining Veldspar.
We need more pirates, more gankers, more miners dying abd blowing up in highsec belts!

Yeah, it was looking like that for a while, then World War Bee happened…

Only addressing one suggestion from the OP: CCP will not bring back 15km deviation on warping to a gate. The server database got clogged with maintaining every character’s “gate zero” bookmark sets for every gate in EVE.
1 Like
Yes, but they could find a programming solution I’m sure. For example, they could forbid bookmarks with 15km of the gate, or they could simply deploy a warp bubble at the gate.

40 posts were removed? What were you people going on about? Start over I guess, the conversation seems to have disappeared.

It makes sense actually. If people are so very concerned about the damage bumping can do to ships, imagine the danger of a freighter warping into a stargate. CONCORD should enforce that freighters cannot warp closer to the gate than 15 kilometers (larger distance in systems that see a lot of traffic) and using illegal bookmarks should result in swift termination of the offending freighter by CONCORD.

Yes, exactly! Finally there will be a purpose for gate guns!

If you place a bookmark where you’re not supposed to, such as inside a celestial, when you warp to it you are spat out again at high velocity. Perhaps this mechanic would work well for the 15km zone around the gate? I’d love to see a freighter go hypersonic.
Why don’t we just make high sec smaller and shift large parts of it in to low sec. Keep the starter systems high sec for the new players though.

Looks like not only there is no barrier for you to kill as many miners as you want, but there are plenty of targets out there and they keep mining regardless, so you may keep killing them again and again. So what exactly is this “problem” you’re trying to solve? Why would you want to kill them at a gate when you may just keep killing them at the belts?
I heard on the grapevine that this is how it worked at first, but anyway this feature still exists, it’s called autopilot, and there are plenty of pilots out there using it precisely because they’re eager to engage you in PvP. You just have to find them, cannot pretend that CCP will do that for you too… 
EDIT: Ah, wait! I may have misread and this might actually supposed to be a serious (albeit misguided) thread… 
Are you trying to say that the reason you gank miners is because you have a hard time finding better fights? Doesn’t make much sense to me because you just have to check zKill to see there are plenty of good fights happening in low sec every day, sometimes in high sec too, and even when it appears to be an uninteresting kill you could always go there to shoot the gate campers that got the kill if you’re really that interested…

Yeah, that’s incorrect.
