It is past time that CCP fix their "non" Mass component of EVE.
Mass is real and has a cause and effect, CCP addresses Mass in their AB and MWD calculations however they completely ignore the most important aspect of Mass. Small ships ramming into larger ships should both inflict damage and receive damage. Anything in Eve should inflict damage due to mass.
Mass has to be a factor: Cause and Effect.
The excuse that people don’t want to die every time they hit an asteroid is “FAIL”
Its space, its supposed to be dangerous, and you need to learn to fly your ships without running into things or you die.
My favorite example of just this argument is CCP' own storyline about an admiral ramming his titan into a station and killing both his ship and the station. That is Cause and effect however, it is also totally impossible due to current eve mechanics.
This blatant disregard for physics has unbalanced this game. Look at all the possible tactics that could be utilized if Mass had its correct effect in EVE. Titans would have to consider a mass charge of Dreadnaughts as a serious threat to themselves. New tactics would need to be devised to prevent suicide Freighters being rammed into stations, the whole sovereignty warfare dynamic would have to be redesigned.
No longer should any ship with more mass fear being knocked around and bumped off of docks or gates because there would now be cause and effect to trying to hit a ship 600% heavier than your is, You die!
Please propose that CCP now address this most important feature to this universe.
