Player Features and Ideas Discussion

bad idea.

I have always believed that the skill training system on eve online is one of its unique features. As a unique feature it provides alot of threads like this. I understand that for new players it can be frustrating not having the skills to fly that shiny new nightmare you want.

one thing to remember is even if a character has 100m sp and you fight them in a frigate, all the sp that is not applied to that frigate is useless. only advantage an older player has then is experience of game mechanics such as session timers and aggression, cant say piloting ability as some people who have been in this game for years still cant fly a vagabond right.


all I see with this is alliances having all the power, Morsus Mihi famously had 15 trillion isk in their alliance wallet, apply that to plex and you see the problems this could create in terms of the number of new characters and the number of alts able to be used for flying a titan in 5 mins. (we have far too many of those imo. but that's another matter)

I really do wish that people would get over themselves on the "oh I have this much sp" I can fly a carrier and everything

what's the point if you can be killed by a 2 week old player in a thorax because you dident learn how to fit the ship, or how you should be flying it.

To the OP

NO, this is a sh*t idea. There are only certain skills relevant to the boat you are flying. Take the time to understand how to use the boat you have before moving on.

At any rate new players wouldn't actually use this, they'd just unsub, the players that would use this are the players who are going to stick with EVE anyway.

How? All I hear is rage that I suggested to take away someone's banana sticker.

So tell me, what fun does this timer-based banana sticker system add?

I will only post this once more, the concepts around this have already been made clear and explained over and over again, and the reason for the current skill system has been explained over and over again if you still don't understand it's your fault.

Remember EVE is about the journey not the destination.

It' not the destination that matters it's the journey. The same can be said about life.
We're all on a journey that ends in our death. We know our destination we don't know how we will get there we just know that we will someday. It's the good experiences and the bad experiences, the friends we make and the enemies we create, what we accomplish, what we fail to accomplish, the love that we make and the love that we lose, the good that we do and the bad that we do, the interesting people we meet, our hopes and our fears, our wishes, our longings, the times that we laugh in joy and the times that we cry in despair, those are what make life worth living. At the end of our life when our sun is about to set, when we look back on our life before we die it is if we smile in joy our cringe in regret that determines if we lead a good life, not our death. When we die our bodies decay into dust, those who remember us also eventually die, and sooner or later we are all forgotten by history, nobody to remember what we have accomplished, when our sun is about to set if we ourselves can't look back on our life and smile then we have not lived life to the fullest, I wouldn't have it any other way. Besides who knows death may just be the beginning of an exciting new adventure just as the sun that sets will eventually rise again and repeat it's journey across the sky once again.

Now consider the meaning of this.

It's a sandbox game, it's a place to waste your time. Maybe I want to waste my time flying a big ship while you want to waste your time on some pseudo-meaningful life journey. That is all.

You're right. Of all the EVE-Philosophers I know, you're the greatest.

One: My religious beliefs do not come from EVE, intended as a compliment or an insult you have just offended me.
Two: you have just further emphasized my point.
Three: seek to understand both sides before you make a judgement, I see where you're coming from and I find that you are blatantly wrong.
Four: do not dismiss what I have said so blatantly I have spent a long time contemplating and thinking about stuff like that and I do not appreciate it being tossed out like a banana peel.

oh and btw if you're a troll you earn a 6/10

So am I.

Thank god
