why? it's a perfectly valid tactic to push ships out of alignment and interfere with what they are doing.
I remember when our alliance's WH was being sieged by a corp, me and some corpies who didn't really have the firepower
to help the nuking inside, camped outside the Highsec exit wormhole, and managed to delay an enemy orca with supplies to help sustain their attack on our POS away from the wormhole for a good 30 minutes.
It was crazy as hell, 5 of us, 7 of them all around the wormhole, not shooting, but having one giant bumping match to keep that orca away from the hole.. I had such a good laugh doing that.

Why not make ramming something you have to toggle on? So the default would be to bump, but if you wanted to you could 'override your safety protocols' or something to allow ramming.
And huge ships need to be more resistant to being bumped. |

That wouldn't particularly solve the OP's problem: the people that wanted to bump him would just turn it on, and he as a bumpee would have no say in the matter. …or, rather, if he did have any say in the matter, it would be the exact same thing as removing it outright since no-one in their right mind would turn it on willingly and make themselves a target. |

This reminds me of a guy in amarr that was *****ing about being bumped off station for the third time, saying that he'd get all those ships back when he petitions the losses....because bumping is an exploit.  |

You are MAD!
I use bumping to ram my fat ass exhumer to the roids faster when I don't have them bookmarked!
It has it's place in the game.
I would agree that a frigate should not be able to move a carrier using ramming. The mass differential between the ships is too much to matter. The frigate should sustain heavy damage for ramming the carrier in the first place. |

I'm not mad, I just think that Eve's bumping mechanic was lazily left in and isn't part of a canonical feature set for MMORPGs. In other MMOs like World of Warcraft or LOTRO you can just run through players, there's no crazy bouncing away or off other players. You could theoretically just bump a player over and over until he was off grid and then pop him outside of the purview of others. Doesn't that sound ridiculous to you? It's cost a lot people a lot of ships and it can also be used for harassment/griefing. |

"Canonical feature set"? LMAO. Just because some games are too lazily designed to feature avatar interaction doesn't make it "canonical" — it makes it just that: lazy. You do understand that it's less work to make people clip through each other than it is to make them bump? You understand that it's a design decision? You understand that it serves a purpose? Quote:

What's ridiculous about it? If someone keeps pushing you around, won't you end up in Vladivostok? Yes, it has cost people ships — that's the whole point. It serves a purpose. Just because you don't like that purpose doesn't make it a broken mechanic, and it certainly isn't grounds for removing it — quite the opposite. So again: if bumping was removed, how would you want those ships to be lost instead? "Not at all" still isn't a satisfactory answer. |

The ridiculous part comes from the fact that it has a huge potential for abuse. You can basically dictate another person's gameplay from just constantly ramming into him without any repercussions. Now, I may have been a bit too harsh on bumping and I may have unfairly compared it to other online games that I now realize are completely different, which a lot of you had made very clear to me. At the time I was just mad about my losses to getting bumped off gate. So, to answer you challenge Tippia. I like the earlier ideas about taking damage when you bump another ship. This gives a risk that the bumping pilot must consider and at least makes the action have heavier consequences, where currently it doesn't have much consequence at all. |

So you'd rather have people constantly and randomly exploding outside Jita 4-4 due to the jostling, than just having them swerve around a bit before going… wherever they're going. Basically, a self-gank without any CONCORD intervention (because how do you decide in such a situation who's at fault), or an auto-suicide (because everyone's at fault and must be punished for their actions), which makes for a field day for looters since they can just sit back and wait for a lull in the traffic.

And making people explode without much of a repercussion doesn't have any potential for abuse…? Oh, and how does this mechanic let you keep people from docking up? Do they just explode instead? |

CCP needs to fix ship collision. Running a ship into another shouldn't move your ship away from a gate or station, it should just go right through. I've lost too many ships to being knocked away from the gate or station I wanted to get to.
At the least CCP should make bumping a petitionable exploit.
I wish my Chevrolet Impala just went through things, if it did it'd still work..... and that kid'd still be alive. Physic *****s... physics :( |

Lazy is one word. Another is cheap. CCP cares enough to give us proper bumping mechanics, and to optimize them to the point that even in Jita all the collisions aren't that big of a problem. OP should be trying getting Snowstorm care that much. Stormwind would lag so hard. |

Yeah, other MMOs don't have collision on the players. It's really just a griefing tactic so it makes the game less enjoyable for the majority of players.
QFT
In WoW you can just go through players without any collision, should be the same here.
EVE isn't WoW and comparing them in the way you just did should be a petitional offense. Honestly its just a griefing tactic. And while we're at it, we should remove warp scramblers. And guns. They're all just griefing tactics. HTFU noob Originally by: Paknac Queltel

Too bad for you, but I have to agree the bumping mechanic is kind of silly - especially since it seems a frigate has enough energy to bump a battheship. |

I'd just like to point out to the "bumping should cause damage crowd" that these ships are designed to take hits from relativistic weapons.
So do you really think an impact at at a measly couple thousand k per second is going to cause them any actual harm?

I think bumping should cause damage to both ships, and there should be a highslot item called the... battering ram  That way you can go kamakazi if your loosing a pvp fight and hope you take somebody with you.  |
