EVE Information Portal

Yeah really hope so, always hated how the missiles just launch from the hull :(

If this is all in the winter expansion then I'll be really happy. Nice one.

ZULU: TELL YOUR ART DEPARTMENT TO MAKE MISSILES AND LASERS MISS WHEN THEY DO

you do have a point there.
but how things are today, the blobs happen not because people want to blob, it happens because they want a piece of the action, and so they congregate and form blobs.

tbh it's impossible to defuse blob warfare in a fashionable way.

several touted "anti-blob" tools were either too ineffective or became blob tools themselves.

so yes, in the end you can't take the blob out of EVE, and because of that, adding solo content is no more than dev resources wasted.

CCP also stated that the way to go is cooperation. nullsec is cooperation. incursions is cooperation. wormholes is cooperation. and to some point, faction warfare is cooperation and tbh, there's nothing we can do about it

Reposting Zulu

Sov needs to be exponentially expensive whereby instead of just a flat fee it scales the more you have. Same with cynojammers , Jumpbridges , Cyno Beacons. I have been preaching the idea that Different Zones ( nullsec , lowsec, empire) Should have bonuses to different activites. Much like real life 0.0 is like a rural area where rescources are collected/harvested. Lowsec is like a industrial area where you would see facotries & production whereby Empire is like a urban area where you would see Science & Technology & Markets.


0.0 Changes

Mining Lasers yield X% more per cycle ( suggest 20%nullsec 5% lowsec -10%empire)
Stations become wreckable where no functions work other than dock you cannot store items only remove previously stored items
Sov becomes exponentially expensive whereby a formula calculates sov cost by the number of claimed system
Modules such as CSAA , Cyno Generator Beacons , JumpBridge , Cynosaurel Jammer increase sov cost based on same formula as Sov payments are calculated
Local chat is changed to delayed mode , Constellation chat stays the same , Directional Scanner is reworked for better functionality and its functions are macroable via hotkeys
You can now increase military index to support many more players however index's deterioration happens at faster rates when underutilized
Loot from NPC's is higher meta level then empire and the same as lowsec.
Treaty system is introduced which makes rental agreements better


NPC Nullsec


Mining Lasers yield X% more per cycle ( suggest 20%nullsec 10% NPC nullsec 5% lowsec -10%empire)
Datacores are rewards from pirate factions
Local chat is changed to delayed mode , Constellation chat stays the same , Directional Scanner is reworked for better functionality and its functions are macroable via hotkeys
Loot from NPC's is higher meta level then empire and the same as lowsec.

Lowsec Changes

Production is X% more time and material efficient (suggest 20% lowsec 0% nullsec 0% empire )
Local chat is changed to delayed mode , Constellation chat stays the same , Directional Scanner is reworked for better functionality and its functions are macroable via hotkeys
Treaty system is introduced where parties can pay tribute to pirate or anti-pirate organizations to protect or not attack them in a specific area.
Booster production is possible here with new and stronger types of boosters. ( mining boosters)
Loot from NPC's is higher meta level than empire and same as nullsec.


Empire Changes

Invention is possible here @ X% success bonus ( Empire 10% Lowsec 0% Nullsec -10%)
Research/Copy is X% faster here and there are X% more research slots per station (Empire 20% Lowsec 0% Nullsec -10%)
Buy/Sell is greatly enhanced here with the availability of more buy/sell orders than lowsec/nullsec tax is also lowest here than lowsec/nullsec
Loot from NPC's is limited to meta 1 & 2

(CAN LITERALLY KEEP ADDING TO THIS MECHANIC TO CREATE MORE CONSCIOUS CHOICES BASED ON A ORGANIZATIONS NEEDS/DESIRES)

Well, I know for sure that a T2 Remote Hull Repair module would be handy. And I'm convinced that Gallente pilots would love to see some new T1/T2 modules/rigs to help with drones, but yeah... it's a rather mysterious statement.

Can you add away to turn off the captains quarters?

It slows down older computers (1 year old)

You have settings for graphics, just add one to turn off all extra stuff that some might not want.

All 3 of my accounts were set to run out in about a week. I was planning on letting them die.

Guess who just resubbed all three of their accounts for another year?

So you decided to start playing an internet spaceship game again, purely because you want to walk around a rusty shitbox all Billy No-Mates?

Hybrid weapons balancing --> Nice to have.

Factional warfare --> don't care about

Assault ships --> don't care about much. Like to fly them though.

Capital ship balancing --> seriously don't care about

New T2 modules --> don't care about

Starbase logistics management --> do care about. Nice. Oh, no. There will be no fuel to power them if you're not a 0-sec Drone

New EWAR-Drones --> Yeah, nice. As in: Nice to have.

T2 Rigs manufacturing --> Don't care about

Ship spinning --> Silly, but well...

New font --> Nice to have

More captains quarters --> WAY WAY below the promise you made. We want to meet, not be moved to better looking hamster cages!

Time dilation --> Nice, if you're one of that 20% players think 0-Sec is all this game is about. (Bubble, bubble, all shoot at same target. Or perhaps bubble-ski)

Honestly, I'm totally disappointed and some quirky remarks in Hilmar's little blog there sound like F2P model soonish. At least to me.
I know many people will leave again now because the promise for fully working WiS, e.g. MEET EACH OTHER in person is effectively cancelled. And I don't think the same resources work on that part as do on improving FiS. It's an excuse.

While the whiny 0.0 sec crew gets what they want (representing a loud but quite small playerbase, as in all the other MMOs). And at the same time nothing will change there to make it even remotely attractive to players who don't want to kiss certain assets or give blow ... ehm .. rent.

Don't get me wrong, I love EVE and think there is no better SciFi simulator out there at the moment.
But this is a huge disappointment - not so much for me, but for players who hoped that WiS would mean meeting in Stations this Winter...

It's also a slap in the face for the many that wanted improvements in none "I shoot your ship up for no reason" areas, like trading, mining, exploration etc.

Anyway...
I have been through a lot of H/L/0 sectors in several incarnations and will just try to keep the Corp together.
We'll just do a lot of pew-pew instead of being constructive. Essentially I can tell you though, once I link the plans on our forums, many will feel F-ed.
