I like the idea kind of... However, an EVE ship is akin to a HUGE battlefield... Perhaps even several, and the drilling process would have to be something aside from a in real time weapon, instead the round would be limited to certain ships depending on size, the Dust or EVE players would have to load ALL clones and gear and vehicles on board the round prior to being fired, if destroyed it would result in loss of ALL that gear before it even reached the target, and upon reaching the target, the player and its corp would be given TWO HOURS prior to the drill penetrating the hull, at which point the clones come online, and the battle begins (Time for the Dust players to stage, and the EVE players to stage).
Now even then your not safe... The ship is a VERY complex set of equipment, so now your fighting an electronic warfare game with this ship, that will require the Dust players to use obnoxious amounts of teamwork and be highly skilled with extremely expensive ship hacking modules on their suit designed to hack into particular regions of the ship, each of which will have a complex minigame which if failed will result in the ships systems going into a lockdown in that area and evacuating the life support (Which wont kill the Mercs immediately, but the game will treat it as death since you'll be trapped in a compartment where you will inevitably die anyways). Then AFTER ALL THAT, you get to the actual defenses the EVE player staged against your assault, rather they be other dust mercs, massive internal defense systems, and a deck to deck fight, with limited clones and resources...
ALL the rounds to start these matches will be expensive, ALL the gear dust mercs need to pull off these assaults will be expensive, and it will take a lot of attempts to get through in the first place, and even then the Dust mercs are likely to fail even before the battle begins once inside, and then once the battle begins inside they will be outgunned and outmatched more then likely...
The overall cost? AT LEAST 3/4s the cost of the ship your hoping to take down... Bigger ships bigger redundancy systems... Simple...
So much more to this... But not time must go back to work. Oh well... Let it be torn to shreds =). |
