Crime & Punishment

So my fellow ne'er-do-wells, what kind of new content or changes to existing content would YOU like to see in EVE?

For me an example would be:

- the addition of smuggler jumpgate routes/shortcuts available only to criminals

Sweet mother of mercy she's back.

Also:

Instead of jump clones, let us buy 5-clone meatlockers in stations (infomorph psychology gives 1 meatlocker per level) so we can swap implants without awkward mechanics, and have multiple bodies at different locations.

...but that's not really a criminal specific idea.

How about a ransom UI element that will allow you to send a ransom demand without convoing?

Built in ship cargo scanners. Why the hell do we waste a highslot on a cargo scanner??

Enhanced EWAR ability. Maybe a few mods to increase DSCAN range. Maybe a DSCAN jammer as well. EWAR ships should be able to point longer too.

Maybe some abilities that current electronic warfare aircraft have, such as guiding munitions in from out of their normal range, or focusing jammers to burn out enemy electronics, ect.

I would like a police radio scanner for monitoring CONCORD and Faction Police.

You buy access to a chat channel with CONCORD or faction LP. Maybe a LP Store item such as "Current police frequencies" that expires 24 hours after purchase. When CONCORD responds to an "event" or Faction Police give their usual "Criminals are not welcome here X" on a grid, you see it in your chat channel along with relevant location data as long as you are within the same constellation. After 24 hours the item disappears or stops working because "the authorities have changed up their frequencies for security reasons."

This would be useful both to criminals and to potential victims.

I'd be happy if CCP just made highsec a little less safe in each expansion instead of a little more safe.

Me and many other chose the ways of piracy. As stands in New Eden "Every decision should have its consequences". But what we actually get? We get no highsec, we get guns on the gates and we get a big black .... and nothing else.

While if you chose Militia warfare u get a really good way to earn isk and pvp in same time. And what are the consequences for Militia. Actually none in proportion what pirates ones are.

So, what to do? I ask CCP for that - standing to actually meter to pirates. From -5 and below each level (-5, -6 ,-7 ,-8, -9) should open the doors for every pirate faction lv missions respectively (1, 2 ,3 ,4 ,5) Pirate faction standings wouldnt meter if u got negative security standing.

In addition to that near every militia space there should be a pirate hub (small outpost, NPCs in space, etc...) which would give PvP mission against respective militia factions (Gurista against Caldari militia etc). Missions would be kill 10 Different Caldari pilots (Shuttles and noobships dont count) or kill 10 Caldari militia frigates et. Many combinations are possible.

In addition to that the lower the standing u get the minor are the taxes in those hubs which would have its own market. For completing the missions u get isk and lp which u can spend to purchase those faction ship blueprints, ammo, implants etc.

Some interesting mechanics could be added for easier drug production and trading in those hub

Pvp near those should be allowed without NPC interference if u are a - standing and all others especially militia would be attacked on sight. Hubs should be guarded by sentry guns and a NPC fleet (incursion like with sleeper AI) where if bested by the militia side the hub would enter in reinforce for 1 day. The next time if the hub isnt defended by both the NPCs and pirates it should enter a longer reinforce mode (3 days) where the market wouldnt work and a % of items in ti would be lost.

As Militia would interfere with the pirate hubs, there would be missions for Pirates to attack the militias plexes, which would weaken their soveregnity.

Just few cents of mine. GL and HF!

EDIT 1: U dont enlist in any of the pirate factions. U stay where u are (corp/ alliance wise). U just get to use that - standing somewhere. It is a tool basically for us lowsec outlaws/mercenaries/pirates to earn isk, trough PvP. It can be a roleplay tool also.

It is needed to give more meaning to the other part of lowsec (not militia). Imo the right way is to build around militia warfare which is a great success also for lowsec. U get to lay foundation for more meaningful Pirate faction warfare.

Later u can add CONCORD hubs too just like u did with pirate warfare. Where players would take in their hand policing lowsec and earn isk/lp for their efforts against outlaws.

EDIT 2: Sansha hubs. Missions against everyone. Where u could turn in LP and spawn incursions once per month in constellations by your choosing. let say 1mil is needed per month to spawn an incursion. CCP put some 10 constellation of strategic importance for EVE players to chose from. Players put lp in designated pots for each of those constellation. When 1 mil lp is given, the constellation pot with highest lp gets the incursion. Higher the standing with Sansha u have lesser the penalties in the incursions u ll have.

Considering that the recent TOS edits killed space rental scams, recruitment scams, and even item renaming scams, I wouldn't hold your breath. Also, the justification used for it (you can't get back at scammers that never undock) will likely be used to kill more kinds of scams in the future, so if anything we're looking at LESS scams, not more.
