As an Eve player myself i agree somewhat with Bad Furry, ships in EVE are very personall and none of us would like the ship to depend on troopers, they cost from severall million to billions of isk. The financial losses would be upsetting to the economy. But wrecks on planets/ ship graveyards, etc should be possible as maps. Special created planetary stations in orbit, should also be a possibility as long as it is not controlled by any factions eve side, meaning personall stations, nor could they be controlled by the EVE factions. Meaning stations that are for the dust side only, like the districts at the moment. Complexes in space could work aswell i suppose. |

I have an 8 year old character does that count?
It's not about beeing able to defend yourself so much as it is about controll. i'll give an example; I have a caldari navy raven battleship, current value of 600-700 mil isk. But that's not the only thing on it, i also have to nearly 10 billion isk worth of rare modules on it, that i cannot insure due to eve's ways and my pilot itself has another 4-5 billion isk worth of hardware (implants). So one day i'm cruising thrue space and get ganked by one of the more commenly present russians gangs. Now normally i have my brains, tactics and options to either fight my way thrue or if it goes very sour flee in time with my pilot. Yet it would all depend on me. But now there comes another factor, namely incompetent dust bunnies. within those few seconds it would be impossible to debate some type of payment/contract for a good hardcore team. So that would mean i would be stuck with a random crew of well like i said incompetent bunnies. Granted there might be a few good ones among them, but even then as it is within dust itself over half of them will be useless and allthough the other half might make an effort, it simply would not be enough.
So to sum it all up. Everytime i fly thrue space i would be forced to make a gamble on the outcome of my severall billions isk BS/ pilot, while not beeing able to controll the possible outcome. yeah i'll pass. Hell i might aswell just give those gank gangs my ship straight away. Or even better then that if ccp forces this option on eve players, every time a team of bunnies hoppes around on my ship, i'll eject my modules, take my chances on those and press one simple button...self destruct.
There is only one person in controll of my ship, along with it's destiny and that is ME!!!
So like i said before there are plenty of other options for a simular experience, that could indeed include defence mechanism's to help. Just not personall stuff, unless ccp want's another JITA, in that case i'm sure i have a few capitals that are dying to go back to high sec space. |
