Six years ago I made a post on what is now the old Eve forums, regarding 'avatar' play. Some folks seemed to like the ideas but I guess many in eve could only see pilot based play and so my thread didn't get that many replies.

My original post can be seen here: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=513560

If you don't want to read the whole thing, the basic idea was to have non stealth and stealth based third person missions and those missions would be aboard other ships/stations of all kinds in eve. My linked post describes the different kinds of missions possible.


Just recently I have become aware of, and played a game called Warframe. In many ways Warframe game play is different to what I described in my linked post but, the mission objectives are very similar and to me shows how my ideas could work.

The Warframe beta trailer can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx5RDaGVkZE

Warframe was originally Dark Sector - Its this Dark Sector trailer that inspired my stealth aboard ships idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nl8890-C2w




Personally, I still think there is a lot of 'unused' areas in eve. Avatar play if it were introduced at a steady pace could bring a whole new dimension to eve.

I feel ya. I posted this in 2008:

And then we got w-space, which is hidden systems not on any map or controlled by CONCORD with gates you have to find and a new enemy inside.

Of course, my idea wasn't the only of it's kind running around, either. Just makes me feel kinda warm inside.

If you're driven to threaten others with harm or violence because of what they do in game, you can't separate fantasy from reality. That "griefer/thief" is probably more sane than you are. How screwed up is that?

My only suggestion that got implemented up to now was the Drone return when connection is lost... I hope CCP takes into acount my other sugestions too, or part of them...

But Don't Worry Blacksilk, I bet Dust514 have some thing related to it. And maybe some Dust514 missions will.

Please read these!

Yes I think you may be right - Dust could be an answer for that. Dust PvE missions?
