EVE General Discussion

Advanced Salvaging:

Proficiency at salvaging modules from other ships. Required skill for the use of ship salvagers. 2% increase in chance of salvage retrieval per level.

Extended desc:

Allows a ship with advanced salvagers to target ships and attempt to obtain salvage from them directly. Salvage possibilities include fittings, items in cargo hold, or bits of the opposing ship's hull (damaging the ship in the process).

Actually, thats a very good idea, I did think of a rig reprocessing skill but that wouldnt work if you couldnt remove them in the first place. Your idea though is a best of both worlds.

And behind the door is another door.

This one is easy -

Warp to 0 on auto pilot. :)

Time to pull out the T2 prybar.

Skills I would want... should probably not be for like a new feature, just for a feature that already exists, but for doing it better...



D-Scanning skill: extra AU for D-Scan depending on skill, like 2 AU more per level or something like that.

Reloading Skill: less time to reload turrets and/or bays per skill level.

A "Tactical Armor Manipulation" like what we have for shields.

INRE: white knights

First this sounds like Vigilantes and not white knights. Second, as has been argued its is by no means a level playing field you are suggesting.

Instead:
You get a Vigilante mission from a security agent. When a gank occurs you get zapped to the scene of the crime in normal CONCORD response time. If you refuse you lose LP points or some such.

If there is Vigilante response then CONCORD does not show. You are there with the gank crew, maybe by yourself, maybe you can bring a gang.

If you kill them, that's that. If they kill you they get to flee the system.

Of course it would never work in great part because the ability to exploit it using alts, but that would be a level playing field.

Miners would hate you since there would be a good chance the Gank crew would kill you and get away. Without all the advantages you are wanting it is unlikely that many people would do it, even if the exploit potential could be mitigated.

Would you? I am inclined to think not, but that is a broad generalization based on absolutely nothing.

No, they show up before Concord via the cyno. This forces the gankers to account for an unknown quantity which is something that I think is lacking in the current dynamic.



No



There's no "workarounds" here. This is a new dynamic that mimics existing player created dynamics for new and casual players. It creates variables and opportunity for interaction that did not exist before.




This contradicts your first statement. Beyond that its not "spoon feeding", it is NPC interaction that prepares players for the more serious matter of player V player interaction.




1. They do not have to be free bridges, the cost of the skill book can be set at whatever CCP deems appropriate.
1a. No, players on the Concord titan have to activate the bridge in the same way that player owned bridges are activated.

2. They get to whore on the KM for a disposable ship! Boy that's gonna really throw the kill boards off! No it wont.

3. The gankers are going to die anyway, the only question this creates is will they manage to kill their target.

4. Yup, they are going to get blown up. The only question is...just reread 3.

5. Yup

6. The only difference is that the gankers have a significant variable added to the equation, whether it be a retriever or an freighter. Would this end freighter ganking? Only if there were enough people willing to stay at the Concord titan and to jump when the gate opened.



CCP has been pretty good at balancing new in game dynamics, I'm sure they could make this fair to, maybe they could use this to balance doing away with local or getting rid of faction police.

Judicial Reprieve :
For each level trained, this skill will rescind a set percentage of any Bounty amount placed on a character with a +5.00 Security Status.

Level 1 = 20% of Bounty rescinded
Level 2 = 30% of Bounty rescinded
Level 3 = 40% of Bounty rescinded
Level 4 = 50% of Bounty rescinded
Level 5 = 60% of Bounty rescinded

Prerequisite :
Character must have Security Status of +5.00 or higher to enable this skill.


Example : If a 100 mill Bounty is placed on a character who has Level 5 trained, only 40 mill of the 100 mill Bounty amount will actually be placed on the character, provided the character has a +5.00 or higher Security Status. If the character's Security Status is lower than +5.00, then the full amount of Bounty is placed on the character.



DMC

Advanced Anchoring:
(Requires Anchoring 5)

Allows even more anchoring options...

1 - Normal containers can now be anchored in 0.7 and below (they're still unsecure, however, and can be stolen from).

2 - Unmanned ships can now be anchored in place to prevent theft (though not necessarily destruction, for example lowsec).

3 - Normal jetcans can be anchored as Secure Containers (but still die in 2 hours if not picked up). Cannot be opened without password.

4 - Wrecks that you create are now considered personal/company property and salvaging them by outside parties will be considered theft.

5 - Can now perform all anchoring functions in 1/2 the normal time.
