0.0 is empty for the most part, it needs somthing to draw people in other than simply ganking ratters. With this in mind along with adding more risk/reward factors into EvE I propose that certain asteroids be placed in null which are giant, if fully mined out they could be worth billions, Once found it may take you weeks to mine it fully for all its worth. Here is where it gets intresting,

Allow capital tractor beams to pull asteroids to POS where they can be mined, even mined passivly with mining POS mods. However these asteroids would also be stealable, Small end theft would be running off with what you could carry or chip off, large scale theft would be tractor-beaming it away and even titan bridging it to another system.

The idea is that there is somthing of value out in 0.0 that you can get your mits on, if you take the risk to find it and steal it from the mega-corps/alliances out there.

Needless to say this would instantly be farmed to oblivion by the big 0.0 alliances. They'll just drag it to POSes and passively mine it. Why not put it in lowsec instead? It would be an actual incentive to go to lowsec, and it'll encourage greater combat and traffic in these systems past FW.

Why not both?

Am I the only one that finds this massively favoring people in null? If this is more profitable than current mining mechanics or the mechanics to aquire your ore, it will disrupt the market. If it's the same nothing would change. I see no way this would help EvE in general. Even though the concept by itself is interesting.


because the people living in null are taking a bigger risk and empire and lowsec shouldnt be as profitable due to the decrease in risk. EvE is a game based on risk and reward, recent times it seems has forgotten that.

skillpoint overflow

Make it so that when an account is active without skill training it flows over into an unallocated skillpoint pool which can be used just like unallocated skillpoints. Many people would favor this over the current system.

Jump to System

Jumping to system no longer requires a cyno, you can lock onto the largest mass in system (normally the star) and jump to that. This would increase the risk/reward when moving capitals around.

If fully mined out they're hollow and you should be able to build your super sevret super base into them.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.
