Pirate factions need level 5 agents. Also some improvements on the pirate lp store would be nice, empire factions have been showered with ships, modules, implants, etc while pirate lp stores havent been updated in ages.

Fleshing out the PvE for Interbus would be nice.

You can maybe start with a generic LP store (if you build one, mission-ers will come)

Further Interbus might help with live events by giving (female) players something else to cheer/hunt then mass murderers like Sansha Kuvakei

I agree. I'm an RvB player. I spend my time gleefully blowing up other people - but I also get (slightly less) gleefully blown up. Since I do like flying ships with t2 mods from time to time, it means I must spend more time outside of RvB making isk with an alt than I do spend in RvB - and the reason I re-sub was to try RvB!

I'm sure there are people out there that make a living strictly on PvP, but they are a minority and will *always be* a minority - it's simply impossible for everyone to fund their PvP with PvP due to modules being destroyed, it's a less than zero sum game for that aspect.

So yeah, the things we have to do to fund our PvP should be more fun in and of themselves. PvE doesn't have the "glamour" of PvP perhaps, but it doesn't mean it's not important.

Some can be accomplished without shooting. But the mechanic is pretty much "go & do & get".

Maybe start to work on the concept that was mentioned many years ago. Make it fewer but smarther NPCs that will require PVP fit and not PVE fit to deal with. Hopefully one day there won't be a talk about PVE vs PVP fit ships, they are all PVP fit.

Its awful..

All of it..

Even the best pve things in Eve turn into a complete grind after a couple of hours.

I would suggest

Scrap the mission system entirely and make a new one based around randomized content, evolving dungeons and what not (Would be really cool for examples if npc's in a area would slowly adjust to the general meta in that area in terms of Res, damage types and ewar). Its too out dated and bad to fix.

Other things relating to missions (Note that i am mostly talking about lvl 4+ missions here although i think it should apply to others too)

* Reduce the number of npc's and increase the dps output. Moving pve from low sustained tank to higher burst tank.

* Make objective npc's attempt to warp off when in structure if not tackled. Forcing a more realistic use of midslots

* Randomize absolutely EVERYTHING that can be randomized. Eve doesn't have graphical dungeons that need to look good, making everything random shouldn't be that hard and would ruin all those horrible mission guide sites.

* Increase the need for awareness in missions with things like Logi npc's. Generally try to make the missions so that if you're not paying attention, you will lose your damn ship, even if its bling as ****. To reward being bling you could make the missions so that you can clear them really quickly if you're ready to take on a lot more incoming dps than you would through a slower approach with things like going straight for the objective, causing mass aggro.. Or something of the sort. Just generally make missions less... relaxing..

* Make the AI smart enough to react to your ship.. If you're in a missile boat they should stay at their optimal keeping their velocity as high as possible, if you're in a turret boat they should come in close and maximize transversal.

* Make lvl 4 missions so that you can do them with relatively low sp at a slow pace but make them so that if you want to do them quickly you need good sp, a good fit and some actual skill.


For Incursions:

Again.. Randomize more, they are way too ******* predictable and its always just doing the EXACT same thing over and over again. Throw in rare npc spawns that make the room much more difficult or just play different, randomize npc numbers and type some.. Just generally make it less predictable.

Tripple their length/reward. I get that the whole quick dungeon thing was a part of the design but there is absolutely no activity that takes 5 minutes to finish that doesn't really quickly turn into a grind.

Make the profitable ones harder... Seriously they are really really really easy to do, all of them. Hell we did a Oroboros site in ls with a sub optimal pvp fleet that was so small we didn't even get any isk for the site and we were never in any real danger.. it really shouldn't be that easy..

I disagree with that. PvE could be expanded and provide more gameplay as long as the current mission system co-existed with the new PvE content; some people just need a reliable source of income, with known risks and rewards, and also some players play for relax.

So rather than scrap everything and start anew, just extend PvE beyond the current dead ends, make it dynamic and player-generated for those willing to take a bigger challenge and a more active role as content generators... but keep the old playground too.

I run your missions, you run my missions, we both win. We both generate a challenge and also take it. And when we grow tired or want to relax or increase standings, we visit our favorite agent and get some of those old fashioned missions. No need to tell mission runenrs "hey, you know those 2 years worth of SP? They're wasted now, kiss our ass and love it!"

BTW, after seeing what has been going on with exploration, I would strongly suggest that CCP checked any PvE changes with people currently using PvE content. Exploration for non-explorers is awful enough...

Cruise Missiles

Uh I don't know if you noticed but CMLs are pretty mean now.

Adding more PVE content to cover over how awful the content we have now is would be a terrible solution.. Would likely just compound on the problem.

And what are these "Mission only" skills you would be wasting? Because there are no skills that only help you with missions.. All the support skills that are important for mission running are important for everything combat related in eve. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk.
