FiS: Making it better

A lot of players feel that FiS is in need of some sweet luvin. Specifically PvP. So I'm curious, what do peeps feel should/could be added to enhance FiS and/or PvP? I'm asking because when I consider the question, I draw a blank. I guess that's why I'm not a game designer.

So it goes.

I've seen that. I would like to hear from the vets, too, though.

So it goes.

I'm down with the customization. I think if they got rid of webs, it might be worth considering to buff tracking across the board. Especially if velocity gets a buff too. Points 1, 3, 4, 5, and definitely 7 get +1.

So it goes.

glossy black paint for all my ships. Also give tornado skin for my tempest/vargur thing. That Amarr shipp that looks like aman part with 2 bites taken out of it could use some visual love too.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

I'd like the ability to showboat 1000km to be quicker than warping back and forth 10 MILLIION KMs.

Space is HUGE. Stop restraining us into little "grid" pockets. Start letting us swing amount the stars.

Give me ships with the build-in ability to reach 99% the speed of light without fitting restricted prop-mods.

That's what I want. That, or jump drives on ALL ships and by "jump drives" I mean the stuff that aims for the remote star, not a cyno.

It knows what you think.

hey now don't boost tracking just because they removed webs. Let us work our way to victory ffs. Positioning, ingress vectors, egress points make or break the fights.

It knows what you think.

Lets see...

Starting from PVE to PVP

Nex Store alternative colors
More toys for all of us
More activites or expanded previous activites (ie hacking fleshed out a bit more, archeology, gas miner)
Better Training
Extended Training
Better missions
More Missions
More Dodads in Industry/Planetary Infrastructure such as building crews and skill books maybe
Removal of even more items off from NPC hands and into player hands.
Quality of Life Automations, still requires human setup and monitoring to ensure investments
UI improvments across the board
More Ships
Removal of Defaulted Local
Addition of having Local being built by allainces
Addition of other intelligence tools to system wide track hostiles

Better distribution of all resources, create more variety values of same resources and distribute that in such a way that only way one allaince can choke it all is owning all of conquerable space but any allaince holding any spot would have something to offer the rest of the galaxy at a better rate.

REVAMPED STARBASES

More Autmon Infastructure with allaince territory such as security towers, gate guns, in belt refineries, solar collectors, comm arrays, traffic monitors, that which a small fleet of much less than 50 can pick and choose any of these infastructure targets and raid them. Make thier lives easier, while costing the need to protect or deploy them.

TCU and Outpost balance and afterthough tweaks.

Allow allaince capitols to name star systems to be approved. Doesnt work on already named systems.

More ships and toys.

welll I could go all day long but ill start there. That should be hmm 4 expansions here.

Does it really matter? The demographics of the forum users are skewing topics and opinion - a bad thing really.

Today it's "gimme this" and 20 will be happy and 19 will complain. Tomorrow the 19 will ask for "this" and the other 20 will be complain......

I keep being told Eve is a "sandbox".... But ofc, this just means that for every idea or even a thought of a change, it's OK as long as it's not a benefit to MY sandbox, just THEIRS.

CCP> Here's an idea peeps....
Bittervets> No! No!.... You CANNOT do that. We don't want that! Wah wah.....

Later, back at the ranch......

Bittervets> Damn. This game is stagnating.....

Much later, still at the ranch......

CCP> Hey fellas. We're changing the game. And we're doing this.
Bittervets> What!!! I can't [splutter], wtf!!!, OMFGRAGEQUIT.......

Yep. It's a sandbox. Send dimensions to CCP and they'll build one - just for you......

/me get's off sandbox soapbox

Don't drop webs or it will be nanofiber fest all over again. Often times webs are the only things that stop flavor of the month dramiels. Do something about the bounty system. At least make engaging the bountied pods in highsec a non offense.

1. Change ganglinks to only work on grid.

2. Slight nerf to on-grid probing/warpins, maybe 20-50k uncertainty on where you land or something.

3. Thorough ship rebalancing, including removal of tier system.

4. Boost to overheating on active tanks, let them tank very substantial amounts of damage for brief periods of time. Makes them more competitive with straight buffers in terms of being primaried in small gangs.

I'm sure I could think of a couple more, but make these changes and then evaluate from there. Iterations are cool.

1. Customization of ship exterior (color, logos, shape?)
2. Customization of HUD. I want to feel like I look through a cockpit or something similar, especially for Frigs up to BC.
3. Crew management with progression and bonuses
4. Manual flying ability (e.g. joystick for control) so at least accelerate/decel, turn, roll, are under my control as if I was flying
5. More missions and diversity in missions and rewards
6. More NPC "secret" societies which unlock given specific conditions/situations
7. Mini-space docks which act as containers with a few more functionality (basic def mods?). Smaller than existing POS
8. Roles within factions (including CONCORD) with progression based on loyalty and success of given missions. This could be dynamic/real time (e.g. pilot pirates attacking XYZ miners with neutral standing in system ABC, go get them)
9. True exploration leading to unknown areas with new alien races and stuff giving out of the ordinary rewards (not faction based)

10: in summary: more immersion starting with a revamp of HUD an flying mechanic: make me feel like I AM flying a spaceship. If people want the point and click, stick with it, others should have a choice.
