1. BETTER STARGATES
At the moment when you use a stargate it puts you with its peer in the system next door and then you have to warp across the system to the next stargate or whatever your destination is. But what if the stargate you just used put you near (15km away?) from your destination in the system its pointing at?
* = Stargate
# = Station
- = "manual" travel in system including warp
So this is the current process:
#---**---**---**---**---#
But if stargates did more of the leg work, it would look like this
#-*-*-*-*-#
In other words the stargates become more like canons and they can put you near to your destination in the system they are pointing at. Thank you for reading.
Thank you. It would be a breath of fresh air if this was introduced.
Having to travel the final 15km manually its possible that overall travel time is not reduced in some cases. But at your MWD and Afterburners will come in handy when traveling now. Traveling will always be kinda braindead but i think being able to fit overdrive injectors, microwarpdrives and what not to speed up the default travel time.
One question is how is the stargate going to know what your destination is? Well maybe it only knows if its in your autopilot. And if nothing is set in autopilot or you only set destination to the system as a whole, then when you activate the stargate it just puts you in the location where its peer is in that system.
IIrc the main reason warp to 0 was introduced was because people made bookmarks some distance behind a stargate and then warped to the bookmark so they would land right on top of the stargate and could jump instantly. Players created so many bookmarks that servers could scarcely handle it at the time.
Its possible this phenomon will make its way back if this new way of travel is introduced but it will not get as bad as it was.
I would say that Stargates cannot fire that long distance or be that precise because we have to think of the gankers but also would become too convenient to travel and world might also feel too small.
The cost could be 25 ISK per m3 per jump. But its uninsured. This means the shipment has a chance of being lost.
Minimum price is for 1 jump. People will probably always choose insurance, but the option not to have it seems essential.
Insurance costs 8% flat fee of the cargo est. value + 1% per jump. Insurance gives the shipment 100% chance to arrive.
The time to arrive is 1 minute per jump.
Minimum time is 1 minute.
The service is only available in highsec, and can only reach destinations in highsec that dont require a jump through low sec.
How much would it cost to move 10k m3 worth 50M ISK 5 jumps?
m3*25*numOfJumps
ergo 10000*25*5 = 1250000
If you add insurance on top its whopping 6.5M extra.
So it becomes very expensive quick. So there could be skills to reduce the costs. The new NPC corp that offers the hauling service can also be done missions for. Higher standing = lower cost to use their service.
Ideally with max reduction in cost, it would cost maybe 500k ISK to move 10k m3, 5 jumps, for low value cargo
More work is needed to think this idea through. But when finished, and if implemented, it would be a huge boost to UX and the economy. For example spreading a bit further away from Jita might make sense to more people. Last but not least, buy orders that covers entire region are going to become more common i think which is going to be great + more. Anyway there probably isnt a single person on this forum or even at CCP who undertands and/or appreciates the magic of this idea. So it will probably live and die by me and thats fine Have a nice day
so you Reopening a closed thread in another thread ? oh dear … xD
1st stupid thing …
2nd stupid thing …
3rd stupid thing …
lets do it for an more expensive thing like a mission marauder you want …
lets say its about 55000 m³ and worth like 3,5 bil and you wanna have this thing moved about 25 jumps
252550000 = 31.250.000
8% insurance for the 3,5 bil = 280.000.000
end of this are 311.250.000 shipping cost … and thats just just about 3 times the price of pushx oO
it just would prefer your worthless stuff you dont want to haul yourself the 5 jumps
so end of the day → why should i use an NPC servic for 3 times more isk ?
why should CCP allow someone to haul his stuff 100% safe and almost instant ?
how could this help to get a healthier game ?
and i´m sure non of my things you wanna answer because you just wanna have your gameplay buffed and others nerfed !
@ISD_Traindriver a simple question → reopening a closed thread in another thread ? alowed ? not alowed ? i dont know but if its alowed then i would use the next few threads of some random ■■■■■■■■ thread like this as a reply for some other closed thread to discuss another random ■■■■■■■■
yeah, i said your ■■■■ is ■■■■ and only provides your kind of stuff, nobody will use your creation for real stuff because its ■■■■■■■ useless
and as other ppl said, its just get overpowered for nonpricable items like BPC´s and abyssal modules
100% safe traval for almost no time … just another ■■■■■■■ stupid idea of wesfahrn
why didnt you take my first note and create your own ■■■■■■■ game that nobody wants to play because its just to make you an ingame god and nothing else
so you just want more stupid AFK and Passive things in eve which CCP want to break ? oO
that everybody would call stupid and its not the opposite
i dont know why you still post your ■■■■■■■ stupid ideas in this forum if you wanna stop playing ( i´m sure ive read this somewhere )
if you wanna leave then just stfu and go play hello kitty online because you are not smart enough for eve online if you come up with such stupid “needs”
Have a nice day
and nothing of this is AFK because i´m on my screen and see what happens
