Player Features and Ideas Discussion

In the Eve Open the idea what mentioned that there could be an in game item players could buy to boost there sec status.

Is this in game yet? If not can CCP please confirm if it's in there backlog?

i know i shoudn't feed the troll but...

... go just [insert something where you shoot rats and what makes concord happy] and you have all the sec status you want

It's not in yet, but they've been discussing it for a while.

Back at fanfest, the idea was floated that some of the otherwise largely pointless officer and elite pirate tags could be used to bump up your sec status (or, perhaps more accurately, your CONCORD standing), much like how you can use regular pirate tags to bump your faction standing at data center sites.

Nothing more official has come of it so far, though.

Yeah, we're looking at solutions like that currently.

This is very good. I don't go ratting or missioning so my freighter alt has no way to fix his sec status. While you're at it could you add remaps to the NEX store? Thanks.

Fixing security status is THE least fun part of the game. And trying to say "oh well just don't do pvp and it won't be a problem" is flat out stupid when nothing in this game except for pvp is any fun.

Let us buy sec status for AUR.

If you feel like spamming and trolling, then there are plenty of third party forums out there that will allow you to do so. Feel free to visit them.

Also, this is getting moved to Features & Ideas Discussion, as it's off topic for General Discussion.

I don't like this idea. The idea that if you're rich enough you don't have to suffer the same consequences as everybody else, you can just buy your way out of trouble. I don't like the idea of it in real life and I don't like the idea of it in EVE.

So are you planning to at least put time limits on the solution, like the 3 months for "redeeming" yourself with the pirate factions? Or only being able to go back this way from -5.0?

Going negative sec. isn't something that just happens, like someone busting their NPC standings via derived hits.

People are more than aware of what they are doing, and the people who do it are more than capable of dealing with the consequence.

I really hope you do see the design paradox in giving people a penalty for an activity, and then allowing them to nullify that penlty using the goods gained by performing the activity that got them penalized in the first place.

You have a rule against recycling negative sec alts for a reason, before you allow people to just throw ISK at it, instead of biomassing, take some time and reconsider why you have security penalties in the first place.

If they can go away by spending ISK, why even have them in the first place? Crimewatch went along way in making sure people can pew pew in lots of places with minimal sec hits. I see no reason to inconvenience people at all with sec penalties, if they can just buy their way out. Not even an ISK sink since tags are player traded - just remove the penalty all together.

Or, limit sec gain to low-sec and discourage people from going too low in the first place and promote the myriad of "legal" fighting that crimewatch just brought them. Don't promote lowsec gate camping by removing the consequences. It's the least likely form of PvP to get people interested, the opposite is probably more true.
