Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The reasoning game lore wise could be allmost anything.
Since this new low sec space belongs to some hazy pirate organization
OR since there is some sort of anomaly braking up some electronics
Devs you may come up with a better excuse for it.

Anyways the main theme beeing Regular old eve from the past where no capital ships can brake up the fun
of small scale pvp.

Naturally this new space should have some incentives for ppl to be there.

Perhaps all empire could expand some gray areas of space.

The main idea of such special low sec areas of space is naturally the logic that the big boys and their OP toys cannot enter the fun .. unless they stick to max BS class vessels.


Such space might be called the Gray area and be security status 0.45 space. ..
Anyways to whole main idea is to force and enviroment where the OLD style of eve is the only way.

But .. for the reasons unknown or not understood .. You could not build capital ships in those systems. It would not work. Moon mining would. It could be Empires interest or what ever.

Only perhaps frreighters might be allowed.

Everyone who would like to wage war there would have to resort to the OLD WAYS of eve. NO CAPS period.

Sure but Hich sec is not low sec.. No piracy! .. no BS rats etc etc.

Yes current low sec has Battleship sized rats. Better wormholes ,, better planet mining etc.

Oddelulf welcomes all BS ratters with open arms. There is a built-in ESS system inside amarr station aswell.

The apex fleet in this imaginary low-sec would be huge 250-man fleets of 249km lock/shoot-range battleships, just like the old days. Very little small scale fleets can do about it.
Just face it, small scale pvp today is to hunt big fish in such a way that you get away with it. And it isn't an honorable affair where sides meet with equal odds of success. Its always a gank. By that I mean its always one side that has the odds entirely in their favor, because that is what they gathered before they attacked ("seek victory, then fight" - Sun Tzu).

When you attack its always because you can fulfill these conditions:
1. Completely dominate the field and bubble the enemy and slaughter them all, or
2. Kill expensive targets (possibly looting them) and running away before losing anything of value yourself.
The most powerful do the first, the less powerful does the second. You may attack someone less powerful and act like the first, then someone more powerful comes by and you must act like the latter or be gankfood yourself.

Remote AOE doomsdays, untouchable nano typhoons and proper instacanes you mean?


It'd be a pretty miserable place to try and fight a war, unless you also ban POSes too.

Nothing wrong with chunk of that kinda space added as long as current one is not converted.

Knowing that your group of 3 and some tackle will not get jumped by 2 bhaalgorns 7 dreads and a 2 achrons is actually good thing.

Small scale skirmishes without god complex are a neat thing.

It would be totally new space. more systems to exploit. The nice thing about Eve is that is allows for infinite amount of new systems to be added .. and it would be quite logical.. (not taking into account wheter it works good for the game and it's players tho) regular galaxy is like zillion times more star systems than eve. IRL that is

Lets use the lowsec space we have before adding more. Also, your removing some of the risk, so the reward needs to take a cut as well, so no moon mining or reacting. I'm guessing the plague of cap drops on lowsec gangs isn't what is motivating this... *cough* moons *cough*
