Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Why not allow player corporations to fight for the Nation?

Think of it like a sub contract, the Sansha Nation can hire these corporations to fight for their cause, and capture entire constellations for them. This would help prevent highsec farming of incursions and also sharpen up the skills of many FC pilots who wish to gain more experience in a fight. It would also require tournament like fits and only groups of equal players would get rewards, you can bring an army of 1000 to a site but you will not be rewarded, bothin LP AND insurance payouts. Sites would also have ship restrictions, to allow for a more balanced PVP experience. People who don't have BS skills could still getin the fight and influence the incursion. I think now, the way incursions work is badly broken. Highsec incursions are repetitive, even the spawns of NPC rats are predictable and becoming safer for FC pilots to attack without losses and instead they gain great rewards. Incursions in highsec are becoming more and more profitable which will eventually cause inflation in the market over time as more pilots skill up for Vindicators, Basilisks and Nightmares. In a game with so manyflavors of ships it seems a huge disservice to the entire community to only have these types of ships be more favorable.

I would like to see smaller gang fights, star wars style, where small fast ships are required to bring down a bigger target, instead of what we have now which is Battleships (also BS is so appropriate of an abbreviation).

I think by allowing player corps to fight for the Sansha it would create a more interesting dynamic, but also limiting the gate access to ship types would open up more variety of ships to participate in the incursion. You cannot script this kind of AI no matter how great your programmers are so why not have humans playing the villians, which we already have in game.

Bring the real fight to incursions, allow highsec to open up to real PVP combat during incursions and make the RISK vs REWARD mean something again, or keep the curent system and watch it inflate the entire eve economy.

Have you tried FW?

yes i have tried factional warfare, both sides of it, my version of this idea adds both a pvp and pve element to this sort of thing...

it would also add to what an incursion should be like, a hostile take over of a system...

you are ignoring the thought behind this... INCURSIONS a sansha nation npc based thing, this is what its aimed at, not null sec "ZOMG I HAZ SOV YAAA"

do you idiots read?

lol no, its a case of having an rp part to the game where people who want to work for sansha can do, this game after all is an MMO.ROLE.PLAY.GAME

lol

Show me FW in highsec.

ahh now that is a good idea, and in theory could help to bring a new element to incursions in high sec, fleets no longer easily can stroll through incursions like its level 4 missions, they actually have the fear of players dropping into their sites and aiding sansha

overall the idea is good and i do like the thought of working for sansha (big sansha fan here), but i don't think CCP would end up going for such an idea after already releasing a sansha based expansion... but we can hope =P

Hi, have you not met missions?
