New mine which, when planted in the station sector causes an evacuation of personnel and visitors, causing pilots docked at the station to be ejected from the station.

Pilots without an active ship will be ejected in an ec-89 and free cell.

Person laying the mine will receive temp-kos of 30 minutes. Any actions towards ejected ships carry normal penalties based on reputation of attacker and victim.

Use cases:

Player wants to flush a target from a station. Target could be an enemy player, a spybot, or developer.

It seems the mine part of this is inconsequential. Either way, there should be a much higher cost to the person causing the evacuation than 30 minutes of tempkos.

The real penalty is if they kill the people ejected....but I'm open to discussion of the consequences.

I think ejecting people from a station they're admired at is very bad. No station would do that, especially when death means so little. I think being able to eject all Neutral or lower local standing would be fair enough.

I just don't think this game needs mechanics where people launch completely out of their control.

Honestly I'd rather see craftable/destroyable stations before I ever see this.

Love it, for obvious reasons.

Kierky, show me one business that says "Oh, ignore that fire alarm. We like and respect you."

Love it, for obvious reasons.

File this one right next to the now overpowered Greyhound.

No don't file it there! it might happen!!

Eject admired or POS people in Connie/Dent. A rescue team came at their aid. It is a plausible explanation.

lol

I think the penalty for this should be instantaneous permanent KOS. Why the hell would a faction ever let anyone who did this dock with their stations ever again?

In other words: -1, this is stupid.

Yeah, let's hear all the stories about how OP the Hound is. The only problem with the Hound right now is anyone can fly it without consequences, which is not what it was designed for.

Dr lecter has a good point, lets ban people with national faction standing from using the hound

^ this.

This is the most ridiculous idea I have read about the development of any game, ever! It probably couldn't habe been more unbalanced and overpowered.

If this is the most ridiculous you've heard, then I have some that will blow you away. But even if not implemented, this suggestion did spawn some good discussions.
