Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I have a few questions and am not a dust player, but don't you obtain things for the price of the booster pack, things that are permanent?

When I pay for my subscription, I am only getting access to eve. What I have worked for in the way of ships ( equivalent of armor) weapons etc. are destructable, and when I lose it, I have to work for it again, or something like.

I would ask the same of dust/legion, would the players be willing to pay a monthly subscription AND lose everything they field in battle if they die? Would they be willing to accept a constant but creeping SP gain instead of paying for faster learning?

Going a bit further:

Would they be willing to have to actively look for fights, be ganked on their way to fights, have their fights delayed by bumpers, have to travel out of their way to get their bling, have to sit and suit spin in barracks while overwhelming force sits right out side and wastes their time?

Would they like to have fights forced on them without recourse to escape, fights of completely unbalanced matchups, taking place at a time and location set by their enemies? Will they spend hours shooting at the equivalent of non-responsive brick wall to get a timer so they have to come back AGAIN at a time and place of the enemies choice?

If the answer to any of the above is no, why should they have influence within the eve universe in regards to anything beyond the breathable atmosphere, aside from defending against destroyers bombing them from orbit?

I am curious, really.

As to the escalation of pilots transporting clones getting ganked, that seems perfectly acceptable provided the mercs could be launched out of the ships at the offending gankers to attempt to reverse gank.

Its a work in progress tbh

Recent announcements by CCP Devs, sorry I don't have time to cite sources as I am pressed for time atm, indicate that they are interested in putting SKINS for ships tied to player toons rather than as a destructible item, super job CCP at getting things going on this end for EVE pilots. Hope to be able to benefit from this item soon, as from what I recall it is set to deploy in an upcoming patch in the near future.

No comment..

*edit: see chapter: intoduction Nex cloathing store, walking in stations, no dev team on EVE 2009-12 artikels



YOU SHAME ON YOU.!!! It took CCP 3 years to realise that they needed to fix their core first


Now they are like 1/4 and you DARE to suggest they go work on other games again..





JEEZZZ go to WOW!

I'd be happy if my pilot could just take part in them. I'm cool with a loading screen or two.

No bumping in F&I. If nobody feels like discussing it with you, you don't get to shove it to the top.

Perhaps with the addition of Merc owned Warbarges we can look forward to Dustbunnies flying themselves to their own battles throughout new eden, seems like that would make for more targets, both in lowsec and near or around planets for eve players.

To expand on this aspect it would seem to me that those warbarge pilots would want some defences on their warbarges akin to those in EVE, here we have an opportunity for a cross game market.

Being able to forcefully eject Capsuleers from ships via DUST drop pods which you can fire at other ships. This would basically open up a short ( 5-15 minutes or so ) match in DUST that takes place inside the enemy ship, where the attacking team would have to fight toward some control room where they can eject the pod, while a defending team tries to prevent that.

An optional objective could appear as soon as the capsuleer presses the self destruct button, and the attacking team is able to turn off the self destruct. Similar other optional objectives can be thought of. You would be able to "purchase" a team of mercenaries that you can put in your cargo ( essentially making sure you get an existing DUST merc group as your defending team, one of your choosing ideally ). Similarily, the pod you can purchase to fire at the ship can either be standard issue ( you get random DUST mercs ), or a custom version from a merc alliance, meaning you get an assembled and hopefully better team, but they'll propably charge more for their service.

As a way to balance this, you could only use this pod against a ship that has 0% armor and shield, to prevent people from firing them at titans straight away. It'd be a highslot module, yaddayadda, the usual stuff. CCP can figure the exact numbers out.

As a kicker, if that's even possible, the fight inside the ship would reflect the outside, so if you look outside as a DUST player, you can see the scenery outside ( ie. the ships that are waiting for you to do your job ). And if the outside has a nice space battle still going on, while they attack the ship from the inside, you'll get some beautiful scenery to look at while you fight.

If you had read more this is relating to merging the games not having separate ones, please keep up.
