Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I know - we have a lot! of unused, but soved systems.
But idea is quite simple.
I want to create 1 additional region for each race.
Each of this regions will be on edge of current space, not connected to current higsec/lowsec.
In each region we will have 40% of NPC nullsec systems ,40% of lowsec systems and 20% of HIGH! Yes higsec systems (only 0.5).
The main idea is simple - in order to get from this higsec pocket to current - you have to do at least 6 JF jumps.

- possibility for new trade hubs to emerge
- much bigger separation from other races ( only stations owned by this race in this region)
- agents focussed to one race
- current higsec/lowsec grups will have hard times moving their stuff by 3-4 nullsec regions to be "here" and "there"
- closer nullsec regions residents will have to decide go to jita , or make 1-2j less
- no more back end 0.0 systems, higsec/lowsec groups will have better access to them
- it will be much harder for current sov holders to keep their sov - as it will be much more open to attack.

Regions will seed by players very quickly.
Check current online. In case of a highsec there will be always group of players want to build there something new.
Miners want to have find some free belts, local nullsec residents trying to put production / mining poses there.
And all of this far away from jita - the best possible benefit for EVE.

That is the plan, but giving them to pirate factions will block a loot of players.
I have terrible standing to Sansha nation , i tried to rebuild it , but after 30 lvl 1 missions i sad enough , as i went up to -9.46.

Now if you take usual higsec / nullsec player - he will probably have more than terrible standings toward pirate factions - so if we put some kind of police in this higsec systems - it will KOS most of players.

It is safely assume that if we make this kind of region connected to goon space - their members will dominate this part of higsec - but on the other hand - will be there better place for a wardec corp to find targets?
If so big entity will be there a lot of smaller industry guys will have their hands full of work supplying the market - and the 6j of JF will block most of the import.

On the other hand if you are planing to invade CFC space - you can use it for this purpose.

'CCP your loyal players want more regions'

speak for urself. u are not the entire 'loyal player' community. i may have gotten this wrong, but this idea only seems to benefit ppl who want to live in hi-sec but make raids into low or null for ore or ratting so they can make big rewards but dnt really have to defend anything. basically, wanting rewards without the work. so no.

few players would migrate to these hi sec islands, because thats all they are, desert islands. the logistical nightmare to reach them would destroy any chances of a decent trade hub. miners would struggle to sell their ore and minerals. they'd make more money just mining dregs in existing space.

low sec and null sec is empty enough already, so we dnt need more of that.

and finally, spreading ppl out more reduces player interaction. im much more inclined towards making the universe smaller to reduce resources, increase competition and therefore increase player interaction. the game would just be boring if everyone carved out their own bit of space and never had to actually defend it.

Why would you have a highsec constellation way down on the ass-end of everything? It makes no sense whatsoever.

Well, since there's absolutely zero incentive for the actual high-sec crowd to move out here I'd say your numbers are a touch optimisistic. Ditto for the low sec, really. Most low-sec residents are there for the PvP and setting up within bridge range of a null alliance's titans is suicide and doesn't make for fun PvP.



Oh, my mistake, all those jump freighters that die every day in low and null must be faked killboard posts, obviously. No, seriously, it's not easy. Stations can be bubbled and the entire concept of using "safe POSes" for this says "only the people who own the surrounding space will be able to move anything".



Right, because an alliance who owns everything along the route TO this space is somehow going to be completely incapable of ganking anyone trying to go out there and making life miserable for the people who do make it out there?

If I were Goons and this popped up I'd immediately start charging a tax on non-CFC members who wanted to do anything in the area and blow to pieces anyone else who tried.

Also, those pockets you're talking about? They're like, one-five jumps removed from high-sec and still barely get any traffic. Go check out how many people actually hang out around Solitude and what the economy looks like.



Except that's now what would actually happen.

Like, I can't even tell what you're envisioning here. New players making the ten+ jumps treck through Sov-null to get to the promised land or something? They'd likely die in a bubble camp at the first choke-point.



Why do they need to be separated? That's daft. Each race's ships have their own thing that they're good at and tend to work well together. Besides which you won't get anything beyond vastly inflated prices out there. You won't get much manufacturing out there because stock will take forever to move and anyone buying will be doing so at inflated convenience prices.

Even moon-goo from the arse-end of Delve gets trucked to high-sec to either be sold or manufactured.

OP, there is no need for new regions, the regions we have need to be better used and laid out,
