Player Features and Ideas Discussion

What would you like to see?

A mini POS / Outpost for one, that only you can find?

A means of making PvP limited, so that you could jam your target to the point it could not ask allies for help?

How would you add to the game?

I solo C6's all the time, just have to find a nice "empty" one ( meaning only npc's ).

Just a battleship, i scan down the wormhole, jump through, use directional scanning to find if there are players or posses.
If there are none, i scan the system for belts and complexes, bookmark them, get out of wormhole, get battleship, get back in.

Always make sure that the ones who are scrambling you die first and you can warp in and out as often as you want.

What??? :P it works for me :D

My shields can take a beating for quite some time and constantly warping away when they are about to fail, makes it more of a challenge.

Honestly, solo play is technically OK, but the very fact that is solo play is pretty damn depressing.

Find someone who is on in your timezone to play with, it makes more of a difference than anything CCP could do from their end.

Besides the fact that i think you are absolutely right, i have a lot of difficulty finding players who play at the same times i do, don't have a corp yet and/or are willing to join mine.

I can only play eve for about 1 maybe 2 hours per day at max, which is exactly why I'm on the forums most of the time ( can do that at work :P ).

Besides the fact that the OP seems too ready to call troll, I tend to agree that most replies here have been of limited capacity and generally limited understanding. Most of what I've read has been rather narrow minded and elitist in content and generally speaks for the indivdual who just likes to do what they do without actually wondering if there is more to the game

No trolls here though, at least not that I am aware; just people who can't see beyond their own little niche in the game that they like so well. Also a lot of limited interest in whether other people are deserving of actually enjoying a game they are paying for in their own way. Of course I understand that many feel it's better to lose a player than accomodate his or her interests

Okay, I may be a little pugnacious there, but then so is everybody else here for the most part. See, I can do it too. It's easy to be contrary

Fact is he's right in many respects. EVE is becoming less and less focused on things which a player can do individually and more and more focused on things that require a group to do. There are solo activities in the game, but anyone who has done them realizes fully that they are limited in terms of enjoyment and primarily done for monetary reward. Missions being a good example. These things are just not fun once you've done them once or twice unless doing them with friends and then still lack a scertain quality of enjoyment

I can't answer for CCP and neither can any of you, but that's the only issue I see with this thread. It is a question directed at CCP which is unlikely to recieve an answer here, where it would be more appropriate to make a suggestion and think of some ideas to counter this increasing lack of simple options for a solo player

The problem here is we aree not-ultimately-game designers and what is lacking here is also lacking in many other games. There is simply not a great deal a solo player can do in a multi-player game in my experience. There could be, but certain limitations have to be in place to prevent multi-player exploitation of solo content.

That means, (like has been said in other words), PvP content is essentially out as are many other potential forms of content. The restriction on available solo content may be almost completely the result of limiting exploitation of content while trying to prevent the game from having instanced content such as would be available in other games to solo players and is capable of preventing exploitation

Something done by one is often easier done by many. This means solo players have to look for content easier done by one than many. It is obviously a fact, that this doesn't leave much room for the generation of new content and often means that solo content is typically player generated in cases like this. EVE being a sandbox and all

So, what options are there, aside from this? I think that's the question that needs to be answered, and it may well be that there is no answer.
