Player Features and Ideas Discussion

People - another suggestion from the COST Group (me)

I wish to pre-empt this post with an explanation of my thought process.

When I see a person that is inherently destructive both in the way that they manage their time and their life, I look to see if there's any repressed creativity and more often than not I find it. So when I apply this to the game of Eve and I see people ganking other people, I don't think there's a problem - I think there's repression that obviously needs an environment to help it.

Without further to do

The suggestion:
I move that we help the ganker improve his Eve experience and help him on way to his obvious path. This will be done by CONCORD when they show up to the gank to administer justice.

When the sec status of the ganker gets below -5, they should be ported to the nearest area where they can start to obtain the tags required to repair their sec status - and not be able to enter any high sec area (re-porting back to original lo-sec location ) until that sec status is raised. I envisage that the re-porting will not cause the items in the ship or pod to be lost.

I must add that this will help them by giving them the incentive and increase their fun by being the object of gankers wanting to get the tags as well.


To those forums trolls - no, I have not been a victim of a gank or the ganker. I suggest conditions to situations.

Discuss, +1 and flame as necessary and if this is in the wrong place, pls feel free to move.

Thx

LOL - what a great idea

Could also stop all the whiners on GD that complain about being ganked


+1

Why?

Somehow, I don't believe any of us are female.

Thank you for bringing that up Sipphakta and Tippia, let's lay this out as a pro/con argument

For the ganker:

1. this person likes to enjoy eve by actively identifying areas where ships are badly fitted. This is a definite plus
2. this person wants to aspire to be a pirate and hasn't yet got round to making the move
3. this person obviously wants to learn more about Losec and enjoys the thrill of being tested himself

Against

1. he will not be present to point out people's poor ship fits
2. he will not be allowed to harness high sec tears
3. he will not have any high sec epeen because in high sec no one will see him - he will be in lo-sec

For CCP

1. this will help gameplay for those particular type of players, help fulfil the requirement to get out of high sec into Losec and null sec
2. purchase of more accounts
3. less feedback on the forms to deal with both for the ganker and gankee

And thank you Jake for your very constructive post - not

As always - constructive feedback is encouraged - but not expected

How original.

OP, does it bother you yet that you forgot to capitalize "stella" in your corp name?

I don't see a ganker doing what he does as a problem - I see it as a missed opportunity for the ganker to experience a life he is obviously hankering for. For me he is calling out for more obstacles to be put in his path so the tears he harvests are worth his time and dedication to his trade. Rather than prey on useless hi-sec pubbies that serve nothing but an inconvenience to his game, he can strike out for a more rewarding Eve experience

See you have taking out of context to lvl5 - good work

Thanks for that Thorn - you need to read the next part of the thread to get your question answered.

Excellent idea. In order to make this a success CCP also needs to add a minigame that needs to be completed every mining cycle or the mining ship gets transported to a lowsec system as well. In addition the auto pilot should have a random chance of sending you through the wrong gate (including lowsec gates). I envision that the auto pilot error is low during day time, but increases at night, and you can decrease the chance of an error by training the new navigation skill "Drunk Piloting".
