Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi all

This is my first time submitting anything on this forum but I thought it would be interesting to get peoples opinions about my two ideas. They are fairly simple concepts


IDEA 1:

Throughout my 3 years in EVE, I never understood the purpose of the tradable goods in the marketplace such as "Marines" and "Freedom Fighters", besides their use in missioning and PVE. These People Commodities could have more gameplay value if they were more integrated into the game and had more utility.

My idea was if Players/Corps/Alliances could use these commodities as a way to protect their holdings on planets when Dust514 comes out. Specifically, I could envision them as the # of npc soldiers that join the defending side on the battlefield when a Dust514 conflict begins

IDEA 2:

My second idea is also based on NPC's but with regards to PVE missioning. I thought it would be cool to spice up PVE by adding NPC allies in some rooms during missions. This would make the battles bigger and more epic. This can be tied into the storyline. I thought it would be cool to have eve pilots feel part of a greater conflict going on.

One example would be if you are doing a mission for the Gallente Federation and you are suppose to rendezvou with a Gallente Fleet to intercept a Blood Raiders fleet. I think the battle that would ensue would really be exciting for the lone eve pilot engaging in PVE missioning

Besides missioning this can also be applied to faction warfare. I could envision an announcement or event where Two huge NPC Caldari and Gallente fleets engaging and have eve militia players joining either side till one wins. These epic pre staged battles wouldn't be that dissimilar to Incursions mechanics.



Again I am new to this forum and dont know what format proposed ideas take but let me know your feedback Players and Dev's
