Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I don't see how this would make things more fun.

Also, I don't see how this would hinder the likes of the goons that much where as the smaller groups would take this as a pretty hard hit.

I don't post much but my personal opinion is if high ends were a lot rarer in high sec then that would push a lot more people out. no point in most people venturing outside the safety net if they can get everything they need where they are and not have to risk anything to get it.

Just take a look at Zyd/Mega prices and you can see that theres just too much of those high ends floating about....

can you not see that its not because nothing happens in null sec. It is because you don't get informed because you have nobody to tell you in any alliance or corp . Which means you are like the guy next door thinking nothing is going on but really they are a massive orgy blob in the next room.

Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, worse than two

*sighs heavily*

Do I have to troll my own threads to get them noticed? Today is a sad day...

148 posts on a mechanic that would let the game make seiges to enemy space for free? Goons wouldn't be effected, their territory already expands and contracts at an outright stupid rate but for the alliances that operate and rely on the static unwanted areas, they'd be forced to leave null for good... That would be just dumb...

You need at least 6 months notice to fully evacuate a nullsec system safely and even then you may not be able too, the move is kinda permanent, or did you forget about titan construction and nullbear pet alliances that focus on industry?

And lets hope the random system generator (dev button) hits goon space every single time

But to the idea... no. It's interesting but it's not something players would want to do. I would not mind having events like this in the game like once a year or something but every 3 months or so is not something that the players would want.

As a CCP created event it might be possible but not as something that keeps happening.

you both could marry

I like that the OP is wanting ways to bring more action to null. I'm new to the game, therefore I don't know about most of what anyone is talking about on this thread... supernovas, etc.

A week into my life in eve, I decided to fly my Velator to the farthest reaches of the universe... it was 62 jumps of pure pucker for this wide-eyed noob... I imagined all the scary stories mommy told me about null space and my head spun with thoughts of what wonders awaited the daring adventurer who braved the cold void ahead...

I ended up in MVUO-F... and there wasn't $h!t to see... then I got blapped by some random nullsec-dweller.

Here's some ideas I had for getting more players (noobs in particular) to explore and spend time in null:

1. Make there be some kind of crazy penalty for popping a new player in null. for the first three weeks or something.

2. Put cool/interesting things to see in null space... Twirling galaxies, Nebulae, Black Holes, etc. with brilliant colors. Maybe have wild looking abandoned stations and bizarre alien shipwrecks to sight-see...

3. Ditch the "whale dying" soundtrack and make nullsec background music especially cool.

4. Have something besides wormholes out at the edge of space that noobs and low skill players can interact with... and not die instantly.

5. Somehow have a way to encourage experienced players to bring noobs to null space, and keep them coming back:
- Maybe have a "radiation exposure" statistic that increases the longer and deeper a person plays in null space. New players and those who spent all their time in highsec would have much lower exposure... which would somehow be beneficial for certain missions in null.

- And conversely, the longer a person stayed in null, the repeated doses of high radiation would trigger random and usually beneficial mutations to their DNA, so they would get small, permanent bonuses to abilities...

Anyway... those are just some new guy ideas....
