Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I know, it is over 2.5 years ago, that the first changes happened.
I know, that this thread is now going over two and a half year and might is the longest, ever running thread in the forums, that was ever created by players.

I miss the old turret modells and Nebulaes: (now since 2.5 years)

old turret modells (including sounds)

Reasons:

1. looked better on the ships. A punisher with blasters looked epic and now it looks fail. A harbinger with pulse lasers looked epic too, but now... EPIC FAIL
2. These Weapons fired synchron: Ive putted a Bs with tachyon beamlasers and Different crystals and shooted evry laser on a asteorid..... looked nice. And now? They fires no longer synchron.
3. The lenght of the new sounds do often not match with the lenght of the on the visible effects. In some case, soundeffects are longer or shorter then the visible effect.

Nebulaes:
1. New ones have crappy quality
2. New ones look boring
3. New ones are EXTREM dark for hi-sec, some nullsec nebulaes are never so dark like the Essence or Kahnid Region.
4. Old ones were changed over Constelation, new over Region - Epic fail

Missile launchers:

-The most of all ships looks better with the old effect.
-It seems, that the explosioneffect gets reeffected. Including torpedoes, the largest effects actualy.
-Sometimes the new modells causing lag

Inventory:
-You need more clicks to drop something back in cargo.
-when you loot, the window stays oopen.

And now to the Idea:

Bringing that back by recreating it (or taking it from old bulids) I think, that the nebulaes and old missile effects dont give much work. Maybe the old turret Modells or Inventorysystem may brings more work.
Then adding under graphics > Effects three new settings:

- Acivate old turretsystem (for Missiles AND turrets
-Activate old Nebulaes
- Activate old generic stuff (Font and Inventory)


Hope CCP would bring it back

Possibile Improving


Nebulaes:

brighter nebulaec should be moved to more visited regions and darker to less visited regions.
Possibile moves for galente:

The verge vondor nebulae goes to the sinq laison region.
The everyshore nebulae goes to the Essence region, but moved closer to the nebulae.
The sinq laison nebulae goes to everyshore, but moved inside of this nebulae.
the essence nebulae goes to verge vendor, but moved much closer to that nebulae. This is one of the darkest background in eve.

a few nullsec regions dont has any nebulae, only the milky way. They need a nebulae too.


Missilelaunchers:

- an option, that makes, that missiles starts inside of the ship and removes the launchers from the ships. The old effect cant come back, how you sayed me. Only to shoot missiles from ship/visible launchers. When you group the launchers, the missiles looks like one, how it was in the old system. that looked better on some ships, like the typhoon, tengu or drake.

-Reduce the performance use of missiles


Inventory:

- an option, to swich between the old multiwindow mode and the new one window mode. The new desing wont be removed in the old one. When you use the old one, you have again the ship/itemhangar in the neocom while inside a station. And anything has one window. how it was in the old one.


Font:

im wondering, why ccp removed the three old fonts and dont added the new one as a 4th to the select menu. It would be great, to bring these three fonts back. Including the menu. You can then choose between 4 fonts.


The old canflip mechanic:

- The new mechanic destroys the rule "Im the owner of the can, only i canprotect it"
- Suspectflags should more awarded for illegal attacks in Low-Sec
- Add new Flag: Aggressing-timer
- 15 min duration
- player to corp/alliance flag (Includes NPC too, no reaction by navy or concord, if the ally is in factional warefare)
- awarded by stealing loot, remote assist a non-suspect/Criminal/outlaw, which is in war with another corp
- remote assisting someone with LE gives agressing flag. He and all members of his corp/alliance can freely attack


Killrights:

- it shouldnt be possibile to make them free for all, limit it to corporation (not NPC or Alliance)
- this is to avoid using alts to remove killrights


minimize windows to bottom

- it was ways easier, to have them on bottom instead in neocom.



ships got destroyed by a single shot, when the hull fell below 50%:

- Now it takes 1-2 volleys more, to kill Npcs

- bring it only back for Npc ships


Old Info window:

- looked nicer, when the numbers were under the icon



Plex for Plex reward in buddyprogram:

- this was a nice option to create alt accounts, just use the plex and get it back, i dont know, why CCP just removed the plex for plex reward.



Reprocessing changes:

CCP is going to change the reprocessing system. The only thing i like about it is the new and improved window for it.
But they will reduce income when reprocessed at station. The reason, why they shouldnt change this is, the mineralproces are very hight now, and if the reprocessing income gets overnerfed, the mineralprices rises again massively up and it reduces income of missionrunners (30% of my income comes from reprocessed loot). Let the system as it is right now, i dont see any problems.

This is just another Hi-sec nerf, and it got nerfed enought(removed static non Cosmos complexes, removed drone loot), i find low and nullsec needs a buff instead of continue nerfing Hi-sec.


Jukebox:

- A lot of tracks got removed with the removal of it
- CCP removed a feature to add own music to the jukebox
- The new nullsec theme is boring, not a soundtrack, just a lot of generic sounds
- tracks repeat evry 30 minutes with that system
- I dont understand, why the best tracks got removed?

but CCP bringed back shipspinning and now it is spinning and CQ

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________


In fact, that the originalpost became too long, i will use this post from now on to add stuff if needed.


Static complexes:

-Were a nice place for pvp in low sec
-Were fun to run it in Hi-sec
-It was nice to sit all day long in these plexes and killing all times the overseer
-After the removal, the prices for frigate deadspace modules raised insanely
-Modules from DED 3 complexes are now often cheaper then DED 1/2 modules
-CCP said, they will be moved to the explorationsystem, but i never found one.



The old gallente hangar:

- Looked better than the new one, it had a nice dust and is brighter

Ship bouncing around in hangar:

- before Incarna, ships used to move a littlebit in hangar, that should come back, because this is more realistic than having the ship idle and not moving a littlebit in the hangar. However, the ship turns around in the captain quater.

The abillity to post images directly into the forum:

- As i can see in the old forums, it was possibile to post images directly into the forum, and at evegate, this is no longer possibile, that should come back. Then you dont have to click an external link warning, wich doesnt work in the ingame browser

the idea is, to make the new modules optional. These guys, whos find better the new weapons can use it as well (like CQ)

Bring back synced firing. It takes no work at all.

ok it was over 2 years i saw the old on my ship and now it gones for ever :(

the new or the old?

do CCP save any old thing of eve?

no i realy find, the old weapons looked better

Megapulses used to look like real turrets with a blue laser crystal at the ends, now they look like coat hanger stabs.
