of course, these levels would probably not have vehicles, but to be honest I think some non-vehicle maps would be liked by some.
at the very least, could we get some crashed eve capitals/super caps in the background? I'd love to see an derelict titan on a planet
A battle in the shadow of a crashed Amarr Titan, the Avatar, sticking out of the ground. The Avatar is about 13 km long. |

True, but seeing a 13 km long ship sticking out of the ground at a 45 degree angle would make for an awesome Sci-Fi image :P |

Mobius Wyvern wrote:/MASSIVE NERDINESS The thing to consider is that the primary reason we have objects that make it to the surface from outside our planet at all is due to their vector. Without a special ablative barrier such as that utilized by the space shuttle, even a Titan would burn completely before reaching the ground if it was only in orbit. The only way for enough of a ship to survive to make a difference would be to have it fly at the planet at high speed, so as to clear the atmosphere before all the mass was burned away.
Even MIR came down in fairly large chunks, and it took the long route just to burn up as much as they could. Besides, for some reason, EVE ships are SLOW. A titan barely move faster than a geriatric with a stroller. Some would burn, but I imagine the armour, capable of surviving massive weapons, would laugh at a little friction from re-entry. |
