Jita Park Speakers Corner

Here's an honest question then. I have lived in wormholes since 2009, and I am at complete odds with your opinion. As are most people who have lived in wormholes longer than two months.

Why do you feel your viewpoint is more valid than those with greater experience, and why do you feel you are in a position to change the game for vets who prefer the way it is?

So you are running on the blank canvas ticket?

"Why do you feel your viewpoint is more valid"

I never said it was more valid. I said I had suggestions that would be up to vote.

"why do you feel you are in a position to change the game for vets who prefer the way it is?"

I don't. I would leave the proposed Ideas up to player vote.

I will repeat this as many times as neccesary until it is finally understood where I stand and what I am writing.

No I am sorry, my level of English is not capable of decoding a poorly paragraphed wall of text.

My skills are inadequate while apparently yours are "adequet" for the task at hand.

While I will admit I do like the idea

It is the blank canvas ticket

and to be honest an automated voting system where the players anonymously voted on issues would save time and money in comparison.

Yep looks that way too me

Well, I will give you this. You are very good at speaking politically. That is, a lot of words bearing little or no content.

Mercenaries would have a new function, as docking crews, and would be able to formalize contracts for other aspects of gameplay as well EvEs avatar graphics can be used to navigate the ships and view the ships interior as well as space, from their bridge. Dust can be used for on ship combat, during which, pilots would decide to fight or choose flight. These aspects would all be chosen by the player, not manditory. You would be able to not only custom make the interior of your ship with select items. These ideas would not only add more in depth game play, but more realism as well. All these ideas put Incarna back onto the table and would give players an oppertunity to view the world of EvE from a first person perspective.

EvE is risk. Applying these new dynamics would require players to be more choosey about who they allow on board their ships, and would also give everyone a multitude of options for further, more realistic gameplay.

Rescue would be possible. Players, especially in pods, would be able (with the players permission) to enter into their ship and be harbored and/or transported to other locations, to include hijacking operations. Clone transport, human transport of an undetermined number of other players, as well as the probability of crews.

Crews would be useful for additional boosts on the existing ship. CPU, Powergrid, warp drive operation, and even weapons augmentations would be possible with crew members who had aquired new skills and potent neural implants. This feature would not only be useful for military operations, but industrial operations as well, to include, but not limited to, mining. Fundamental operations of the ships would work much like fleet command, except when a ships captain leaves, he can transfer command of the ship to a secondary commander, requring a completely radical overhaul of development in ship dynamics.

These features could give way to new opertunities for EvE players, to include hijacking, mutiny, or even a protocal for mass evacuation, given combat circumstances, possibly even democracy, if the captain gets out of hand.

The economy, which is always a concern in EvE, may not suffer, In fact, it may prosper due to the new game play. No one would be capable of anything i've mentioned above without new forms of training, specialized gear, mods, and links, and it could not and indeed, would not, be a single player operation. So, it would not become so common place as to overshadow the existing economy by impacting it through depletion of the purchase of mods or ships. Indeed, it would open a new market for gear (dust) training, modifications, new ships, and even warfare links. Not to mention customizable personal items for interiors of ships, decals, and personalized or customizable hull interiors. Drawbacks would create economic boosts as well, such as an entire docking bay full of hijackers being killed before they are deployed. More to come.

A specialized crew would be required for these, potentially profitable, operations. Taking, for instance, an Orca or Titan, would require a great deal of effort and would most likely meet in a decent or vast combat operation. The spoils would be, or course, the ship in its entirety. Using interior designs, the player would use the ships own dynamic layout to seek cover, coordinate attacks, and advance to the bridge, where ultimately, commander and crew can be fought for control. Of course there is always the risk of the pilot self destructing the vessel and killing all on board.

Everyone would not be capable of this proceedure and would leave, less experienced players, vulnerable to death or the entire crew vulnerable to destruction, adding an entire new aspect and thrill to gameplay.

The economy, as seems to be a main concern, can and most likely will be bolstered by the spoiles of war awared to those that overcome the adversity and survive the conflict, leading to not only glory and reputation, but further economic gain once those involved are rewarded for efforts put fourth. Chop shops are one idea that come to mine, for say, a Titan that has been taken by an entire squad of pirates. Once again, not everyone is capable of this, and in massive fleet battles would add a design of realism.

Fixing our POS'.

It is an massive understatment, and incorrect assumption, the POS players are a minority in the community. Below is a combination of proposed issues, and their solutions, for the POS system.

More security features to include passcodes for each individuals hanger in the POS being accessable only through their personal password encryption. If it would be possible, even use the tower itself as an storage unit for those operating, and living out of, the POS. It would completely eliminate the risk of theft and encourage consolidation of a mass number of POS from the same corperation. A revision of the POS system in this manner would make it so, that it doesn't require the entrustment of every individual operating in the stations bounderies. It would keep players property safe, and eliminate the need for multiple POS for new members.

The interface, level of access, and even POS modules would require very little effort to modify and would make incredible leaps and bounds in its practicality and functionality. Eliminating the need to actually move from structure to structure inside the force field, in order to access, collect and store goods, refine, manuefacture, and store, would elleviate the frustration and painful tediousness of having to do so.

Include the ability to swap subsystems, the inability to do this alone is uncalled for. Needing a space station and its fitting service is illogical when it should, in theory, be just as viable to do it from a pos, carrier, orca etc. This makes it impossible to fit or change the subsystems inside a wormhole system.

POS revamp could include design changes that make them important for a wider group of players. Either by making it easier and more prevalent for players to have them, or by having the players that do have them, able to offer more services to your average player. An extension of the existing structure could be to allow the marketing of jobs for material research of blueprints to unknown players, or by standings.

Modify the refinery & reprocessing system. All NPC stations use variants of POS refineries/reprocessing modules. They all have a number of assembly lines which handle a certain volume of product per hour, at a particular efficiency, with associated job and time costs. New skills to enhance processing/refining line capacity per hour. POS refineries will generally be more efficient, higher capacity facilities while space stations will have less efficiency, rewarding all industrialists with bean counter implants. Currently, it is far more practical to move goods out of a wormhole and into a space station, saving time, and refining efficiency. Improving POS efficency and reduce NPC facility efficiency and give players motivation to utilize the POS.

Last but not least, simplify the placement of structures by implementing 'recommendation zones' for fast and proper spacing, especially on weapons. Having to consistentlt search a spot, through hit and miss for placement of structures, is frustrating, time consuming, and would require far less effort to establish and build your POS properly.

All of these changes would, once implemented, actually help to reduce server load as well, if the multiple number of POS per corperation, were no longer needed.The POS system has been neglected for far too long and it should be first and foremost as a priority for the CSM to represent and push CCP to give it the long over due attention it so rightfully deserves.

Suicide ganking in high sec.

Suicide ganking is, and always has been, a predominent issue with industrialist. Ganking for profit is still a method of money making that encourages a subgroup of players to wage open war on mining ops in high sec, while damaging the economy and driving miners away from systems and away from mining.

Ganking an exumer and having an alternate account that loots and salvages the wreck creates an oppertunity to make high sec ganking a profitable and dominant form of exploitation. Eliminating the profit margin, by making illegal combat non profitable would remove the insentive for suicide ganking in high sec. By making it impossible to loot or salvage wrecks in high security space that have been illegally destroyed would limit ganking further into an even smaller subgroup that will perform ganking for no other reason but entertainment.

Performing illegal attacks in high sec space should not have a dollar sign attacted to it.

By fixing this, it would encourage more players to use mining to accrue the isk they need for other profitable ventures, such as exploring and delving into lower security space, and would provide a more secure enviroment for miners to operate under, while enriching the economy further.

You can still get ganked, but they would be doing it, while losing their isk, and gaining nothing in return with the exception of bounties being collected, which is an acceptable form of law enforcement. This, of course, would not apply to low or null sec operations.
