I was reading an old post this morning trying to find something to enter into another Just reward asking us for concepts regarding an Eve Online mini-game. And so I created this concept I call the 5%. Although now that I've done that, I think it should probably be called the "5 Degree", but the name doesn't really matter.
So what does it do? Let's say you have an enemy ship in local hiding out in a safe spot. Right now your ONLY option is to run back home and grab a probe fitted ship, or hope one of your friends has one available. But what if you've been doing the work and have the enemy ship narrowed down on 5 degrees on your d-scan? Shouldn't there be another way?
And that is when this mini-game pops up. Very similar to the hacking mini-games inside of Eve already, but this one gives you a very slim chance of actually generating an on-grid warp-in on that enemy ship. If you can manage to get that lock down to 100% a warp-in is generated. Possibly a randomly generated on-grid warp-in, so you might not land all that close to the enemy. I don't know, I've literally thought about this for half-an-hour this morning.
While the details might need some serious game balance work, I do like the concept. But of course I would, right? Others may not feel the same way.
Anyway, something to think about.
