EVE General Discussion

I drew my own map. It accurately portrays the community

The problem with a map change like this is that is done entirely outside of the player's activities.

You are suggesting that CCP turn its back on emergent gameplay and the core philosophy of EVE to force people into doing things instead of providing more game mechanics that allow for changes to happen (regardless of if the change happens there is a option there that allows for it.)

I'd rather see CCP implement a more flexible security status / control mechanic for systems. Basically, the more options that CCP gives to players to alter how the Universe is structured the better.

I would love to see faction warfare result in space being completely converted into the domain of the faction that held it and to see the security status of that held space slowly rise. So, if Minmatar forces pushed to the edge of Amarr space and held the territory for a long time (a RL month perhaps?) over that period the control influence (and security status) would solidify and the war would shift into what is currently immutable Amarr territory.

That would mean that Minmatar space would expand, the low security space would shift, and Amarr territory would contract.

Then give players the same thing in 0.0 space where they could start improving the security status of a system at the trade-off of ratting ability of that space. Basically, as players invest in one system the space becomes what it really is - secure. The higher the security the more industry options and the less ratting options would become available. Sov holders would decide how much to invest in security (the more they invest the more NPC ships representing them would spawn as violators entered the system - if those guard ships were destroyed they would have to be replaced at the sov holder's expense - this also means that enemies of the sov holders could potentially drain the ISK account of the sov holder by constant harassment of its secure space until the sov holder would either increase the amount of ISK allocated to security, ambush the invaders, or stop the bleed and stop funding security).

Anyway, that goes off on a completely different idea that could go on for pages.

No, no no no , NO, no no nonono. No...

Actually, that is not too far from hat I suggested earlier (see below). I would love to see FW have real influence on empire and not just the availability of navy ships. It would be epic if FW outcomes directly influenced security levels of key systems in empire such as trade routes or mission hubs.

You really think lowering taxes (which aren't that big anyway) will bring merchants to flock to low sec in masses to make "eazy kills" for lazy pirates?

0.0 sec should be drawn in rainbow colours and make the place look attractive...then when the bastards have CROSSED over WE CAN GANK THEM ALL!!! HAHAHAHA!

1) Move to wormholes,
2) proceed to stop caring about the existence of k-space, including high/low/null,
3) make isk,
4) play eve the FUN way,
5) get drunk with mandatory alliance australians,
6) fly suicide gangs of T3 2bil+ ships because why not,
7) die in glorious battle,
8) enter stovokor,
9) be reborn,
10) repeat process.

I clocked around 140 hours play time last year & made enough for an officer fit Nyx. More play time doesn't really mean more isk, just as less play time doesn't make someone poor.

No

I want a portal to pony realm somwhere in high-sec
