Player Features and Ideas Discussion

1> The system that's been put in is good - has its merits but needs tweaks. Trollceptors and lightning fast cruisers burning around at 250km are a thing and let’s be honest it’s a bit lame. There's no commitment to entosisting something - if you want to stop you fly out of range and high five your bro's for escaping.

The entosis link needs to work more like a bastion or triage module where when active you can’t move at all, you get self rep bonuses and shield/resistance bonuses instead of a tiny mass penalty that does nothing. There's not much more too it. It means your bro's need to stay on grid and defend you while you're doing your thing.

2> The second tweak are the indexes - Now that the big bloc's have figured out they can either ping their 20k pilot alliance and hold mining and ratting CTA's it’s pretty easy to get those indexes up to 6 without actually having to live in the space, you swarm into a system - suck it dry and magic you have an index of 6. While i agree this is a sound method of getting your indexes up it also does nothing to encourage people to stay in these systems. They move onto the next one and the system will eventually degrade until they come back for the next ping. I'd like to see the indexes degrade a lot quicker if they go unused again until someone deems it requires some love. Constant ratting, mining and industry should need to happen in system to keep the levels even close to 6, in fact as an example - a minimum number of NPC's (2000ish) and rocks (xm3) should need to be blasted in a system each day to even be able to keep it up there. It seems like its way to easy to create a boredom fortress that no one wants to attack.

3> Next up are the jump ranges - 5LY is horrific, yes you can take gates which is great but the range changes couples with fatigue is tedious and soul crushing. Fatigue is fine but both together is terrible - Even having the range back to the original but where distance = more fatigue and shorter jumps = less.

4> Finally i thought id throw in a suggestion to give Super carriers a new role now that they dont need to bash structures. Increase the ships maintenance bay by maybe 20-30% to allow 7-8 BS sized ships (or 25 cruiser size) to be docked inside it but so it works like a mobile station. When pilots are docked inside they simply see the outside of the Supercarrier. A Supercarrier is then able to jump to a location with pilots inside - who can then undock and unleash the kraken. Pilots that are Jumped to a location inside a Supercarrier suffer no fatigue, but the Supercarrier pilot does. Supers can then take the role of on-grid boosters to "Sub-capitals" - far greater than command ships. This gives a super 2 new roles while getting people to commit larger assets to a fight since the Supercarrier will have fatigue.

/2cents (well more like 70 cents)

- But you didnt make him "flee" he completed the 1st warm up cycle - which gave you a notification then flew away creating zero content.

- The point isnt about the length of time you were on that CTA but the fact you can grind out a system and then leave it for another week. There's no need to keep people in there to keep those indexes up.

- Working as intended to localize wars yes - but at the same time they've made fortresses out of regions.

- I get what you're saying but they're going through and removing all that old code, hell just make it so its like a Titan Jump bridge but the bridge and Jump at the same time. Subcaps go through first then after 10 seconds the Super carrier goes with them. The initial suggestion would be much cooler though :)

by him completing a cycle he did create content by him entosising the structure. Doesn't matter if you don't count it


Again, working as intended.



if it were as simple as that, they would have made a "character switch" option long again. It's not simple
