Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Let's shut the Concord down then. This will make gameplay really equal for all areas.

Are you kidding? All significant materials are outside of Empire Space. With imperial materials only you're not able to build even a frigate. Gravity anomalies with their insignificant volume of high ores change nothing.
Living the Empire you're not able to COMPETE with someone who operates in low security locations.

doesnt matter. the materials in high sec and the items u can make and find still allow u to influence the game as a whole. U dnt honestly think u should be able to go to an asteroid belt and steal the ore other ppl want to mine and get away with it do u?

this just isnt the game where u get to play ur own little world. it never will be that game. it should never be that game.

but theres always star citizen. set that PvP slider to zero and go enjoy a game where interaction is not the core game principle.

Until you understand the fundamental flaw in your thinking, you will be unhappy with EvE. There is no lack of balance between pure PvP and pure PvE in EvE. There is no pure PvE in EvE.

EvE = Everyone vs Everyone.

Fly safe.

Enjoy all of that empty space.

Enjoy the brilliance of the zombie spaceship AI as it charges toward you with guns blazing. You don't even have any friends to share this experience with anymore so I really do hope you enjoy it. Enjoy the isk you earn from those missions, you won't be spending it on anything outside of the LP store.

Enjoy your 1 man economy of mining the ore, refining the ore for yourself manufacturing the products yourself, buying them from yourself, and storing them in your item hangar in the only station you dock in, because there is no reason to visit any other system. Enjoy hoarding thousands of useless items. Useless because the majority of them were intended to be used to interact with other players, and you removed the other players from the game.

Open source Eve is already out there and no one cares. It's boring.

Too bad, that's pretty much the entire game.




Yep.

1.) I find suicide ganking fine. I don't suicide gank; I have been suicide ganked; and I find suicide ganking absolutely acceptable.

2.) I occasionally mine on my indy toon, and fly it and fit it with the full knowledge that suicide gankers will attack at some point. I assess the danger of the system, local, etc, and fit appropriately. My losses were from very dedicated ganking groups, and/or from tactical misjudgements on my part.

3.) I freighter stuff around highsec, and pay close attention to the value of my cargo, specifically because I know my freighter may be ganked. I'm very much looking forward to the freighter changes, and love the idea that I will have more control over my tank to cargo value ratio. I've moved stupidly expensive cargo holds, and plan my routes and use scouts specifically because I know others will attack when they see my loot pinata.

4.) I occasionally fly blingy missioning ships. I know that fully blinged out, I'm very much a loot pinata. As such, I keep an eye on local activity, often toning down the bling when I suspect its dangerous. I use insta undocks and docks, and take steps to be hard to kill.

5.) I also very much believe in balance. Balance does not mean your BS can fend off 30 destroyers. Quite the contrary, as balance to me means I can solo a rapier in a taranis by exploiting the weakness of his ship.

6.) Finally, I very firmly believe that EvE is a dystopia, and the ONLY justice you'll receive is the justice you personally enforce. This is as true in highsec as it is in nullsec, with the only difference being the type of help you receive from an attack.

you lost me here doesn't everyone just use PLEX anyway.

I've been around for a while doing a lot of differents things, (except null sec which I,ve not tried yet)

Ganking is absolutly a good way to make money, it's the base of how cheap your cost is compared to what your target may have.

I've been ganked once when T3 where really expensive (1B and over for ships and subsystem) I didn't know any better so I send a petition and then I learned that is it a perfectly valid way to make money.

People in the REAL world do all the time. What do you think somalians are doing down in Africa? The're ganking on people. They seize the ships and sell or ransom the cargo to get money.

Is there justice done out there as well? Yes they are called Mercenaries (Or PMC) they guard you from other people. Well... Pay some in Eve also and be done about it.

Oh BTW I'm bored tonight I might actually go in high sec and see what target I could make money out of :P

If and when you have a serious and well worded proposal for the betterment of EvE, please feel free to post it.
This however is neither and as such gets a lock.
