EVE General Discussion

- Tech2 production, invention takes lot of time effort in hi sec and useless to do in low sec where i spend most of my time (when docked). Also lots of stuff sells so cheap that there's no way you could do profit with invention. I have no clue how someone makes any profit, maybe tech 2 bpo. So yeah, haven't tried it yet seriously even though I know stuff which would make some profit. It's just like meh, all industry and trade is so hi sec focused.

- Wormholes, well they're not exactly what I expected them to be, like vast network of unhabited systems. Instead most of them are POS'ed up and people living there in their capital ship fleets. Exploration my ass. Would be interesting if higher class WH's would be more than 1 jump from Jita or empire space anyway. So it would be actually deep space 30 or more jumps from empire space.

- Fly logistics ship. Whole ship class disgusts me. I hope all of them would explode on undock.

- Mine. Well I like idea of mining. I even actually tried it 2 first days in EVE. However mining in EVE-O is grinding = boring. I have been hoping mining would be more like find minerals -> mine for moment -> get rich -> repeat instead of click the rock every 120 seconds or something. I suspect most use macro for that anyhow. Not to mention jet canister idiocy. Mining ship should have enough space to get reasonable cargo without resorting to idiotic alt hauling or jet cans. Did I say I haven't been really mining since 2006 or something?

How about putting these ideas together into a Live Event?



Live Event = CCP Dev or GM
Contest = Hide and Seek
Duration = 7 Days
Contestants = Active Accounts
Winners = 7 Players max
Prize = ?

An official announcement would be sent to each active paid account detailing the contest, rules and regulations for the Live Event.

Contest Overview:

Within the Eve Universe, each day (every 24 hrs) there would be a few randomly hidden entrances to Jove space. They could either be a w-hole (found by probing) or an Acceleration Gate at a beacon (listed in Overview). The entrances would all be 'wired' together to only allow the first player ship to have access. Those entrances would lead to the Polaris system where a CCP Dev or GM would meet the player and give them a guided tour. During the tour, the player could take screen shots and have Q&A with CCP about Eve-Online.

To end the tour, the player would have a choice between 2 options that is video taped by CCP:

1) CCP and Player engage in equally matched ships for 1v1 combat.
2) CCP and Player fleet up to repel small invasion force of Jove ships.

The Prize would be a copy of the Video tape, a Medal of Valor to be posted in the players character sheet and some sort of special Module or Implant. And lets not forget bragging rights. Of course if the players ship and modules get destroyed, they would be replaced by CCP.


This Live Event contest could be held once a month, once every three months, etc.


Anyway, that's what I'd like to do.

Mostly I want to fly Cap ships but then i think about all the headaches and pain in the butt nonsense that is null and the idiots in low. I realize that I don't want to deal with that crap so I continue to train sub cap skills to max.

personally I would love if CCP brought these into EVE
Escort Carriers
5 fighters, can run around highsec like the Orca. That I would train for.

+1

CCP needs to seriously consider this. Would change 0.0 and only for the good.

Sticking to things currently in the game that I want to try... not much...

I've been to lowsec, I've lived in wormholes, I've been a mission bear and my alt can run a pretty good hulk. I've toyed with incursions a bit and been to a live event or two. I've yet to kill a super (I want to do that), but that's just a matter of time. I've discovered what I like and what I don't by now and I'm not really interested in trying to much more. I suppose faction warfare one of these days just because I haven't yet, not really because I want to or think I'm missing something.

The only thing I can think of that I imagine would be fun to try would be a solo bounty hunter. I click on the Bounty Office window and I see people with 42b ISK bounties, next is 26b, next is 16b, any of the top 5 would fund my PvP habits for a year. I've never really viewed bounty hunting as a reasonable profession though, and I don't think anyone else does either. Sure if you see that name in a fleet fight you'll go after it, but how many people are actively hunting that individual down? How many people actually catch them before they have an alt pod them to get the isk? It's kind of a broken area and I'm not sure there's a good way to fix it.

The two biggest issues.

Believe it or not, I have found that one of the largest barriers to entry to many aspects of Eve is simply the lack of knowledge of how-to, or where-to.

I had hoped that one of the things that establishments could do is tackle this problem. There is a wealth of information from 3rd parties on the net, but so much of it is way out of date at this point.

Need a better mechanism (something akin to the agent finder; that worked really well) that could function as a road map to New Eden.

Got a flight now, so I'll be back laters.

I'd like a place of my own. A POS that isn't a P.O.S. Just a place off the warp tunnels to dock up, store my crap, change out my fittings, etc. But without the need for an industrial alt to fuel it, and a corporation to defend it. Something a bit customizable.

One of the cool things in the Fallout games was the ability to lay claim to pretty much anything. Go into a building, blow away the mutants/soldiers/children, take their stuff, set up camp. I'd like to be able to clear those pirates out of the deadspace complex, and then dock up, and take the place over. Or an asteroid base. Or something.

Hoping to see something of this in the sov/smallholding/POS changes they say are coming.

I want to mine in low-sec.
I want to have a POS so I can research BPO's, but apparently CCP is looking to make that near impossible for small corps.
I want to live for a bit in WH space.
I want to PvP and not feel like a knife in a grenade fight. This one is a difficult one for me. I only know PvE fits, and while I understand *some* PvP fits, most of what I know has to do with tackling which is pretty much useless solo. The biggest issue for me in regards to just "going for it" is pod loss. I don't have the standings to get jump clones yet.
I'd like to see the Monolith.
I want to take part in a swarm of newbie ships and attempt to take down larger and larger targets, just to see how big of a kill we can get.
I want to eat a huge portion of Broccoli and then warp into the Goons primary system and leave them a gas cloud to harvest

Most of what I want to do I haven't tried yet due to lack of clones, and lack of sec status to lose freely.
The last is just because I can't vent methane out of my pod.

I have dabbled in most stuff. Found i like WH life the best. I guess living in a C6 is where I want to end up but for now i am happy in my C2.
