Player Features and Ideas Discussion

LOL, so says the criminal, who can't even enter high security space, and has only been playing the game for 2 years.

How is it you are flying around Jita so much with a -9.9 security status?

I love how the newbie PVP players are like "everything is fine".

Here, let me try to rephrase my post in a way a PVP player can understand: ships, modules and ammo will be cheaper if they put back Yulai the way it was before.

I think you'll find that some items on the market, and more are becoming, cheaper in places like Rens and Hek than the Jita price. Someone is trying to decentralise Jita and it's working. I do most of my "shopping" local to Minmatar space because the 24 jumps to Jita ia just too much of a PITA.

Whoever is seeding the Rens and Hek markets and balancing out the prices with or below Jita has some clout but is this a good thing? It can certainly kill trading very quickly if all the markets are balanced that's for sure.

I remember the days of the Super Highway's and I'd love to see them return if only through the spine of Highsec.

If Yulai would become the major trade hub again it would be cool imo to have the art department create a special huge trade station with multiple exits where people get ejected from randomly when they undock so congestion is not so bad.

Maybe also make it impossible to warp to 0 AND warp from at 0 on this station and always make people warp to it for at least 50km both ways so they will always have to slowboat a bit to get there.

Possible lore could be because as a neutral concord station special traffic rules are in place.

And they will also need to beef up the replacement for the jita server a bit more as I expect it to be even busier.

Also now that I am on a roll, make an addition to incarna and create a yulai station lounge with huge windows overlooking the various dock and undock points where one can sit, relax , drink a few cocktails and watch the mayhem outside.

I think he might have a point. If the travel routes are shorter and there are more of them, then moving goods out to the regional hubs would not be as burdensome. The price differentials might drop sufficiently so that people wont necessarily want to go to Yulai for small batch purchases. Bulk buyers would go, but not necessarily somebody fitting a ship.

So in relative terms he might be correct, although in absolute terms you might also be correct--i.e. lots and lots of people where improvements to the game itself might make this a non-issue.

I think we should do exactly what he says. Make Yulai what it once was.

But don't make it low sec. That would indicate some presence.

Can't be faction null either.

Have a solitary null sec system in the direct center of empire with claimable sovereignty.

EVE King of the Hill, PVP capital of the universe. He who controls Yulai, well, gets shot at a lot.

And don't just give it 4 gates, make it 6 or 7 separate connections to make it more interesting to camp.

I don't know for sure, as it's been quite some time since I was there. But there used to be lots of battles there, including some of the major Alliances. I'm sure it went over that figure a few times, but not on a normal day to day trade basis.

Jita, Rens, Amarr and (is it Dodixie?) were all still quite viable trade hubs back then, it's simply that Yulai was the main central hub. I can't recall anyone liking the change, but we all could see Jita was going to fill that role when it happened.

I still have a fair few BM's in Yulai. Ahh the good old days.
