Victor Twenty's 2 Cents: Tracking Disruptors on missiles!

Hello New Eden,

I have decided to start a new sub posting on this blog called "Victor Twenty's 2 cents", These posts will be dedicated to ideas and suggestion on how to make New Eden a better place for all.

Today’s topic "Tracking Disruptors on missiles!"

So after reading the latest Dev blog, CCP provided the below comment on this topic!


http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=42269

"We also wanted to update the Tracking Disruptors to affect missiles too, but the version we implemented was too limited (it only worked if you were flying certain ships and/or the enemy was using certain missiles). We haven’t found a good universal solution yet, so we’ll have to wait on this one."

As with most newer pilots in New Eden, I personally think there is enough EWar in EVE, but I can understand why they would want these changes, currently missile pilots have no fear of tracking disrupting ships such as the Amarrian recons.

My suggestion to CCP would be to have tracking disruptors affect two aspects of missiles.

1. Hit rate, with current game mechanics, missile users have no tracking, if you're in range missiles will hit their target without mercy. Why not have tracking disruption decrease the hit rate of missiles, similar to how disruptors affect the tracking speed of turrets, which causes them to miss their target. I understand that there is no hit rate mechanic in game for missiles but it can’t be that difficult to add. Maybe a skill or two to help decrease the effects of disruption. Also this would provide great visuals with missile flying past a target instead of hitting him, especially with CCP revamp to missile visual effects :)



2. Range of missiles, ranges of missiles is determined by "Flight Time" and "Velocity" of missiles, I think it would be the most realistic if tracking disruptors affected these attributes. This would decrease ranges similar to how they affect turret optimal and fall-off.


Well that's my two cents! Stay tuned for more additions!

A day of Wormhole Combat!

If you haven't already heard, Odyssey Space Exploration is headed into Wormhole space, over the past few weeks we have been finding wormholes in our home system.

Today, After our corporate day we decided to show some of our new pilots, Myself (Victor) included how we handle ourselves in combat. We got extremely luck with an afk prober we had spotted thru a connecting Wormhole, which I quickly destroyed and podded!

After some back and forth struggles over a total of four hours, the  pictures show the aftermath of our final engagement. At this point the defenders of the wormhole have grouped up a number of pilots which we could not match.

After reflecting on todays activities I would like to say to our victims of todays events "Good fights were had by all, very little smack talk, and alot of explosions made for an entertaining afternoon."

To my fellow pilots, I say this " We did a great thing today, not only did we engage in combat, but we did it outnumbered and out gunned, We did our very best, you have shown alot of courage and commitment, Thank you!"


Today I was reminded of inspiring words, I leave you with these words in the hope that they will not only inspire you as they did me, but empower you to do great things.

"There are more paths than one to greatness.

If you have intellect, you will survive the darkest days
If you have courage, you will claim the bounties of man and nature
If you have patience, you will amass the wealth of empires
And if you can lead, there is no limit to what you can become

What you dare to become rests on your will to be bold, dare to be bold, pilot."

Second Weekly Corporate operation!

For a second straight week, Odyssey Space Exploration pilots met under the hot caldari sun to lend a helping hand to its corproation.

This week we started off with some level 4 missions wth our friendly Caldari agent in our station.

As you can see we had some great turn out and some new ships in our fleet today! I guess our pilots really know the meaning of "MOAR GUNZ"!

But it wasnt all flashy lights and explosions, like the picture shows.


Our newer pilots had some intense moments but luckly no one lost any ships during our missioning operation.



Although I cannot say the same about the remainder of our Corporate day, we decided to start looking for a wormhole to explore or exploit its resources, we found a wormhole but it came with alot more excitment than expected.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Corporation Day!

Today our corporation group together for our first "Corporate Day", this day was set aside for all our members to get together to generate some funds for the corporation.

As you can see from the posted pictures, it was a day of blasting NPC's out of the sky. I think we spent a total of four hours running missions!

MOAR GUNz!

In closing it was a very succesful day, not only did we group together for a common cause, we did it with style!
Thanks everyone for coming out and see you at our next "Corporate Day"

Expanding!

Hello New Eden,

It has been nearly a month since my last post, and what a month it has been, not only have we reached 14 pilots in the corporation we have successfully completed construction of an Orca. The industrial command ship will support our mining division, its a most welcome assest, sadly it wont be seeing space anytime soon! :)

We have also added a Fenrir to our logistics division, which provides increase hauling capacity to all divisions of Odyssey Space Exploration. Most importantly this ship opens up new solar systems for mining, allowing us to haul our ore back to our home system for refinement.

I would add a special thanks to Zhadu and Orion, they have put alot of effort into assisting the corporation, all of this sucess is thanks to your hardwork and dedication.

I shall finish off by saying we are still looking for new and skilled pilots alike, please join "OSEXP public" in game if you would like to learn more.

Also MOAR guns are always welcome!

A day with the sleepers

Odyssey Space Exploration has opened up its exploration division with a bang, one of our new pilots had found a class 2 WH and we did a bit of exploring over the weekend. The screenshot above is from a sleeper site we ran.

We are still actively recruiting all career paths, including mining, missioning and exploration. Join "OSEXP Public" in game for more information.
