What is your general opinion on collision damage?

Personally, I feel like all collision damage in general is too high. You only have to clip a tank at 5mph in an LAV and you instantly explode. I feel this is too strong. Granted if you hit a tank going 100% full speed then you could argue that the LAV should explode, but at lower speeds it should not cause the damage that it does.

When flying a dropship, you only have to clip a wall or some obscure unforeseen pipe or pole and it can sometimes cause you to explode, again even when travelling at very slow speeds.

This also leads to something I personally hate, people using militia dropships to ram into assault dropships. As if it wasn't bad enough already for ADS pilots, what with red line rail tanks etc...

What is your opinion on collision damage?

RDV vs ADS makes me mad.

That's how I feel. I agree things should take some damage depending on speed but tapping something and exploding is wrong.

Shouldn't the LAV be dead too? It had fewer HP than the DS after all. In PreTQ Chromosome this is how I lost a Prometheus. I was legitimately landed and picking up blueberries being all nice like I was. An Onikuma came around hit me nose on, blew up the Prometheus. But then, I hunted down the LAV and just shot at it (no friendly fire). The gunner got out started shooting me, I was shooting him. I'm looking behind him, this enemy LAV is comin' bombing and runs him over. Success but still lost a lot of ISK. Anyways currently collision is very bogus. Indeed. I think bogus is a very good way of describing the situation. Actually come to think of it, bogus pretty much describes this whole game right now. LAV clips a tank at 5 mph, explodes. Tanks crash into each other at full speed - they slide over each other like lubed up ** whores. oh wow you cant even say pornography on this forum?

That is the main thing I am on about. It sucks. I see a tank, slow right down but still tap it with such delicate force and boom. Its even more annoying when you are in a dropship. The whole collision damage needs to be nerfed! Like reduce damage by like 50% or something drastic like that! Join our public channel - ACME SPECIAL FORCES PUB For the STATE!
