1. Change BH policy to allow reported bugs which are hard to reproduce by nature to be promoted to defects
2. Fix Bugs
3. Wouldn't be my area but get the UI guys to make reinstalling jobs easier.

In no particular order I would

1. heavily limit the amount of members allowed in a corp, in an alliance and in a fleet with incentives for corporations and alliances that are smaller by creating heavy taxation and costs to maintain large corps and alliances.

2. I would quadruple the material costs of everything larger than a battleship.

3. Delete all T2 BPO's from the game.

The reality of Eve is that, if you don't love it like it is today, you should probobly go ahead and unsub.

So from a player perspective what really worries me is how long it takes for CCP to get around to fixing stuff. Even if they get to it this winter (they won't, according to the csm minutes) the half baked Dominion sov system will have been in place since 2009. That's one third of the game's lifespan. The POS system? Same thing. Technetium? Corp interface? Yeah.

I understand and agree with the sentiment 'No Jesus Features' but maybe we need to see some Lazarus features.

I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why it takes so long; the need to figure out a good design, the unique technical challenges of a single-sharded MMO and so on and so forth. And it's difficult to educate players by taking them behind the scenes and show the sausage being made because of market manipulation and the meta gaming. But I think it's worth trying.

So that's my second thing I guess.

Third would be player feedback, probably. I don't log in to sisi very often, if at all. And I'm consequently not sending any feedback to the devs about the content. But it seems to me that very often I read about something that went wrong players are saying "we warned CCP about this." Now maybe they did and CCP didn't care to listen, maybe CCP listened but decided to not act on it for whatever reason, maybe the feedback was poorly communicated, etc. But if this is a source of frustration it should probably be looked at because it's a very vocal and dedicated bunch of people that spends time breaking things on sisi and it would be a shame if all that energy wasn't leveraged in a positive manner.

tl;dr

Lazarus features
Educate players about the development process
Investigate if sisi is being used to its best potential and in a positive way

1) Fix supers
2) New market features
3) Stop fixing destroyers and frigates that nobody cares about

Good thread!

1. More ships(Tron Star Wars fish people ships)

2. Tron clothes

3. Remove ISD. Sorry don't want to be negative, but I'm passionate about this.

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

1. More Cake

2. More Bacon

3. More Ponies

Not necessarily in that order.

1. Remove the censor on "*******"
2. Ban anyone who implies that alts aren't being played by real people
3. Add a Cortana skin colour to match the Cortana hair style

Or were you expecting something less frivolous?

Blatant alt posting? In my EVE? It's more likely than you think.

I don't have one, for one thing.

Lest I forget; Because I'm a benevolent dictator I would abolish all open floor planning at CCP offices. I'm also a fickle dictator so it is likely to be replaced with an open ball-pit planning.

Hmm, that's a toughy. While I have my own wishes, I imagine a senior producer has to consider the entire spectrum...

1. Completely remove/replace local chat
2. Give more resources to the "avatar" team
3. "Fix" planetary interaction

1. Fix the UI (which includes uninventory).
2. Fix the obvious imbalances (damps vs jams, drones still not viable weapon system, etc).
3. Fix the rest of the imbalances.

1- Deliver walking in stations in small incremental iterations, starting with the ability to share CQ.
2- Make a massive professional poll with personal interviews to a sizeable amount of subscribers (some 10,000 at least) to learn the reality of why, what and how people play EVE.
3- Use the knowledge from point 2 as a guideline for future work and stop assuming that only the people who speaks to me haves an opinion worth knowing.

1. Expand the game, open up new systems to players.
Example: Open up Jove space as a small high-low sec area.

2. Better deals.
I currently get spammed for the "power of 2" offer. I already have 2 accts, so I get double the spam. How about deals for 3-4+ accts, might encourage more people to have more accts...

3. Better CCP integration/events inside the game.
Find more/fun/creative ways to get CCP staff more involved with the community. In game contests/events and etc. Like a cannonball run through Jove space that's littered with CCP devs trying to kill you...

1. Torch the NEX store.
2. Fix sov so people have something meaningful to fight over.
3. Nerf high-sec reward to bring it in line with the other sec areas.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.
