EVE General Discussion

Hello one and all,

Before anyone gets any thoughts I have done my share of everything in EVE. From mining, missions, PVP, you name it I have done something with it at one point or another. In my many years of EVE I have enjoyed many of the changes and some not so much but that is how it goes. My proposal to CCP is for the capsuleers who can not dedicate as much time as we once did do to any reason, can we get a refresh to the mission system? I can not dedicate more than maybe five hours a week to my favorite game due to complications that most people go through in life. A couple of ideas:

Q1. If you work for an agent and get high enough standing with that agent. is it possible to get a special mission offered through this agent?

Supporting info: I do not have time to spend plexing for hours hoping to get into a complex and most good corps do not want to mess with people who can not dedicate time to there causes. If an agent where to offer special missions giving special rewards this would eliminate some of the stress on the plexs and CCP could stop having to create so many complexes to support the population of EVE.

Q2. The mission screen is so bland, is it possible to get a video conference with your agent where he actually moves or looks like he is talking? It is suppose to be the future and we are still using some terrible version of email that looks like it was designed for low-bandwidth ships at sea.

Supporting info: A fresh look that excites the players and makes them feel deeper into the game would help support a boost to the mission system. I know that missions are still the biggest payout in EVE but is there a way to make it more fun and less like grinding? I think there are like only 20 missions on top of this so it gets old after a bit.

Q3. This is kind of along the same line as question two, while in a mission you get a message sometimes when entering the mission that pops on your screen. I am glad you guys finally put a minimize on that because I never read those in the past but can we refresh this as well to something like a video chat screen or something, it does not have to be anything fancy.

Supporting info: Feeling like there is really an enemy there makes you feel more into the game, most of the time now when I play eve I feel like I am reading my email... did I mention I hate reading my email because that is what I do all day.

Q4. Auto-pan, is it possible to get some type of auto panning, I hate targeting someone and having to pan all over to find my target to see him in relation to the battle.

Supporting info: Useful for finding targets attacking friendly ships or something that is crucial.

Q5. It would be nice if we had a mission that was time based. no mission has a time counter except for the extra loot involved. I hate seeing you need to save someone or they could die but you can take four hours to days to do it...

Q6. Is there ever going to be the possibility for actual EVE players to be able to make missions to expand the EVE mission list?

Hopefully some of these questions can help make EVE a better game and I hope to see you all there, the first beer is on me.

Kehro,

So now it is more annoying and still sucks... hmmm

I blew up my Navy Domi a week ago for ***** and giggles.

At least you'll be safe from gankers.

They have the auto pan thing from Q4 on one of the test servers now.

Stress from CCP creating complexes? Are you saying that there are some guys who work at CCP and all they do is spawn complexes for people all day? Like every morning one guy at CCP spawns all the asteroids and another guy spins the planets?
