Explosives In 4.0

With the introduction of Cannons and TNT, unless you can make a lore reason why they can't use black powder. We're a hop and a skip away from guns.

LM's could just say it's too unreliable for anything of the sort.

This is true, gunpowder in game =/= gun powder irl.

It took about a good thousand years from blackpowder discovery to get guns, and said guns were fairly ****.

 

And it took maybe two hundred years from blackpowder discovery to get cannons, and said cannons were fairly ****.

TNT should be more of a tinker thing, not a miner thing, although it does have uses in both... I guess it could make good tinkers very valuable to miners? 

[Nefarious Aus Shitpost 891]

If they add tnt back in, don't make a plugin for cannons... just use vanilla tnt cannons, its way easier and more fair.

Gunpowder is craftable with sand from the tinkers' post in the new plugin update, however it currently takes 16 hours to make one... Doubt it's possible with server restarts :(

I'd really appreciate a response to this by some sort of staff member.

Yes there is TNT in the tinkers post as of current. It just takes extremely long to make. The mindset here is that it basically takes more (much more) effort to create your 'griefing tool' than it did to create whatever it is you were going to use it on. You're almost reverse-griefing yourself by detonating your TNT in large amounts. In other words, if someone uses their TNT on you, you probably deserved it.

Never underestimate the grinding capacities of players.

 

EVE staff didn't expect there to be more than 1 or 2 titans in the big organizations.

I'm not i'm just saying it's way easier to make stuff than destroy it with TNT.

We had a ratting titan in my corporation, and a titan at every POS in our home system.

When you get enough like-minded people together and they are motivated to get something done, it doesn't matter how large the task is.

 

But currently tnt is uncraftable given that server restarts tend to extend crafting times..
