Missions & Complexes

Here's a BIG PvE fix: HOW ABOUT REBALANCING HOW ARMOUR SHIPS SUCK IN PvE COMPARED TO SHIELD FITS?
I dunno I guess it is a balance thing where in BIG PvP fleet battles armour has an advatage except in the Drake blobs of old but armour PvE fits are losing out big time IMHO

Fix salvage drones so that they continue salvaging even if you start them salvaging after targeting wrecks.

Right now, if you have a wreck targeted, the drones will salvage the wreck that is selected among the targeted wrecks and then afterwards just sit there instead of moving on to the next wreck, like they are supposed to.

The only way around this is to tell them to salvage before you target any wrecks. Then they keep salvaging, but you shouldn't have to do this.

1. Add the ability to place a display priority on types of items in the overview window. Then you can keep the things that matter most to you sorted on top. It would be really nice if this priority could optionally act as either a primary or secondary sort to the existing overview sorting mechanism.
2. Auto turn off mining lasers part way though a cycle if an asteroid would be destroyed before the cycle completes.
3. Improve response time for missile launchers to detect that they're empty and decide to auto reload, currently it seems to take about 1/4 cycle for the computer to realize that there's nothing to launch.

I've seen a lot of people complain that missions are repetitive. Since eve's storyline is ever changing, why not incorporate missions with live events/recent world news? Not only would that be fun and great for those of us who RP/follow the lore, but it would be introducing players who don't RP or follow the lore to be familiar with it. The enviroments can be randomnized to a particular theme and the stories don't need to be updated THAT often.

Prioritize (at least) two categories of LCOs: clutter like walls and towers that are visually one object (a fortification) and then mission-critical or lore items. You have a lot of lore buried in mountains of LCOs all over EVE, but who's going to notice, say, the Federation Navy Megathrons parked in the Blood Raider 8/10 when they're commingled with a huge pile of boring LCOs and a heaping helping of NPCs?

this.

new players cant do sqat on incursions, adding a smaller site with a LP only payout would be best. (to prevent inflation)


2 tiers, one tuned for t1 cruisers/bcs/t1 logis and another one tuned for fast HACs/t3 and non perfectly trained t2 logistics.


there's already a "frig-dessie" sized one, but they reward 50k isk....

not even the most enthusiastic of the noobs wants to do that.


and for missions, the biggest problem is actually the "SP creep" now days anyone can fly ships that can destroy any pve content you trow at them. unless you make it so unfair that it wont be interesting anymore (example: Ewar NPCs) this has, over the years, turned a group activity into a completely solo venture.

Bonus rewards are a nice way to prevent this, they need to reward group play, while still remaining challenging.

for example bonus rewards right now are only on completion time, and the limits are way too forgiving! 6 hours to do recon 1/3? should be 10 minutes!

not only they are too forgiving they are hardly a reward... i would say LP payout should BE the base reward for the mission, while ISK should be the bonus, currently a good lvl4 can reward upwards of 4m isk this is nothing, it should be a good 2x more isk, but with additional tiers of bonus.

one bonus for completion time, as it is now.

another bonus reward for a bonus objective that cannot be complete alone. usually "capturing an NPC" this would require a scram and web to keep the NPC pointed while the rest of the room is being cleaned. losing 2 mid slots is way too much for most "pimp ships" so this objective would be doable by 2 - 3 man group. rewarding group play, while also getting high-sec players acquainted to the idea of PVP fittings and tactics.

some other objectives could be to "save" a friendly NPC, adding a race mechanic to some rooms, trying to kill off enemy dps before the friendly dies, or giving RR to it.

or hacking cans that give access to additional spawns, loot or tags. and yeah, hacking under fire can be fun. specially if you planned for it.

also, keeping with the whole group play thing, the timer for the missions NEEDS to stop when the objective is completed, instead of ticking down until the mission is turned in. this makes fleet play useless, since even mission with long timers lose the bonus... -.-'


another thing that has been mentioned already is providing tools for fleets to share warpins and bookmarks. and finally opening the dead space "dungeons". who cares if a mission runner can get ganked by a bunch of catalysts while flaying his pimp ship? he should have been playing in a fleet, that way incoming dps would have been more manageable.

i know this is hardly a "little thing" but after 10 years, missions wont benefit at all from a small tune up.

if i had to settle for one "little thing" it would be to allow all fleet members to initiate "warp-to" since the bookmarks are completely borked... and this could also come in handy for exploration.

Remove "loot bukkake" mechanics from data / relic sites, please. It's not fun and won't magically turn exploration into collective activity despite me losing up to 2/3 items sometimes.

Can we please, please, please get a sell all function? I would like the ability to select multiple items and sell them all at once to the highest buy order available. Maybe you could model a window after the reprocess window and have it show what the buy price is for each item, quantity desired at that price, quantity you have and quantity you want to sell, prefilled with the number in the stack selected or quantity desired at that price; whichever is lower. Also have checkboxes next to the item so we can uncheck anything that actually doesn't have an order for it; adding a requote, sell and cancel button at the bottom. I believe that there is enough code that could be borrowed from contracts and reprocessing to patch something together.

I would like to be able to set up a 'fleet tax'. When accepting an invite to my fleet you accept a 1% or 2% charge on all bounties received during fleet. Is this possible?
