Just got my two starter decks in the post sourced from ebay, since this game is way way out of print.

As I was thumbing through the cards and trying to figure out the (impenetrable) rules I'm reminded of Hearthstone the weird WoW spin off card game.

Would it not be awesome to have a TCG in the game world? Similar to the Slay minigame that was shown off as a possible addition to WiS (still available on the play station Home I believe).

This would ignite the collectible nature we humans all seems to have, card drops in loots etc! Special missions. Or have it as a separate client, maybe just an iOS minigame, since CCP are into expanding into other platforms at the moment.

I know I made several Eve forums mistakes there;

Compared Eve to Wow

Suggested focus shift away from internet spaceships

But damn if this doesn't strike me as a great and relatively low effort opportunity for CCP.

I wouldn't mind them adding a ccg to the client. Something to play when bored, it was fun in swg, probably the only fun thing to come out after NGE. maybe aurum for booster packs?

All I know is it would be cool if each card had some effort put into the card and maybe special/rare/named cards would have some extra story or lore in an info box for the card.

On that note. It would be cool to have a lore codex similar to mass effect to collect lore and info as you explore places people and things ingame.

Aurum for booster packs seems fair! This currency needs some more use!

Just such a shame all this cool artwork and background flavor on these old trading cards is lost for the new players and to think of all that's happened in-game lore wise since!

as long as this was only ever implemented as a side game, to play with corpies and locals when otherwise bored; I LOVE IT, subject to T's and C's

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

I can't see it imposing on the core gameplay in anyway, just something additional.

If CCP, dare i say, crowd funded, the development it would have zero negative impact and the Jita monument would stay intact..
