Player Features and Ideas Discussion

IDEA:
High Sec Moon Mining; High sec towers, rolling NPC vs. Corp standings.

CCP already has a balanced map of high sec moons in place. Why can’t we mine them?
Here is the idea...

First introduce a rolling/fluid standing towards NPC factions on a corporation/and?alliance level, so in other words your corp/alliance would have to keep high standing for that particular space to anchor a tower, and to mine.
(promote game play)

If the standing is not maintained as it would naturally tick down on a time based system. Your tower would be off lined; you would get like a 3-5 day mail or some short warning to increase your corp/alliance standing to continue operation
High sec towers would/could not be armed.
Caps would sill obviously not be allowed or need.

So how do you keep the towers? Well mission runners and faction players keep playing and the standing stays up. Your corps mining operations stays active.

How do you stop this? Declare WAR! Stop them from running missions/defeat faction space via Militias/hire mercs.


This new high sec option would change the game. It would offer a HUGE new world for high sec players. Allow less grinding on towers and more constructive PVP not just bloding caps and taking space. Also letting high sec players compete with null sec income…. and null sec action using mostly tools already in the game (Missions/Merc contracts/Standings/Militias)

Sure they do, that’s like saying if you don’t join a 0.0 alliance and force yourself to be enslaved by dictators, and then you will not do well in EvE?

Why can we not have a different option? Instead of working for an alliance we work for NPC's. Its perfect fit with militias and new contarcts.

I'd explain why, but its clear you don't understand the game at all, so I'd be wasting my time.

Well I can agree with you there.

They'll never stop coming up with horrid ideas that show a fundamental misunderstanding of how the game is balanced and designed.

also lol @ "I lived in 0.0 longer than you"

Tell me again why you should reap massive rewards for quite literally zero risk?

Same as bashing a mission running ship with a PVP fit battlecruiser. Quite litterly, zero risk to yourself its so fail fit that the mission ship will just die. Zero risk to yourself, surrounded by highsec with its CONCORD preventing some random 3rd partty interfering in your party against a ship that cannot even fight back effectively. Opps...sorry to dissappoint how silly you can make yourself out to be by putting on the show of tough guy with an awesome killboard of easy ass targets in the security blanket of highsec.

But perhaps the OP was talking about limited mining of moon minerals, kind of like how highsec PI is just a ******* waste of time but it generates a little bit of income where as the time spent for that character was better just biomassing it if not out right canceling the account. Can't see anything wrong with it in highsec, though perhaps limiting it .5 border zones to act like a "raid" scenario for FW (to exclude dreads) but talking with moon goo in the tens of millions barely breaking half a hundred million a month...no where near enough enough to pay for fuel. Eh, just an idea.

Wait, isn't that already what big 0.0 aliances are doing?

I don't see the difference, except one is run by an exclusive club and the other is empire space.

Confirming I have a 100% kill efficiency on kb.

Elite pvp, you know.

While I prefer moon goo to be removed completely, cheapen them to the detriment of farmers will do nicely too. Null used to be about freedom, then moon goo got implemented, and it turned into farmville. Kill it with fire. +1

Wut.
