Player Features and Ideas Discussion

My idea has two parts which i have fully fleshed out as much as ive been able to. the first part is an event, which i call the siege of Yulai.

The Siege of Yulai:

Pirates, and by Pirate i mean bloodraiders, guristas, serpentis et all, are not stupid people. Else they woudlnt have been able to form the huge organizations that they did. Therefore it stands to reason that at some point they will figure out that the only reason us capsueleers hunt them with such vigor is cause we want those DED bounties, hell some maybe even most of us dont bother scooping the loot. Now if im happily shooting angel cartel in immensea how do the good folks in DED over in Yulai know what rats ive shot and how much bounty im due every 20minutes. Perhaps Banniskore Zabulugi is really really REALLY good at his job. Perhaps they have some sort of supercomputer that tracks this stuff down. i dont know thats for CCP to say.

Now as for the event i suggest we iterate that the 5 major pirate factions being Angels, Gursista, Serpentis, Sansha, and Bloodraiders, all join forces and launch a surprise attack on Yulai to draw Concord out while a strike team of Dust Mercs Played by CCP blows up the super computer or Assassinates good ole Banniskore or what have you to eliminate the NPC bounty pay off system as we know it.

So we have dusties fighting each other on the ground and capusleers in space helping concord fight off the hordes of pirate ships with sansha supercap support of course, or maybe getting some revenge and shooting concord ships and watching them explode for a change. orbital bombardments going off, fun times had by everyone. But for the idea to work the pirates must eventually win. No more NPC bounties paid off to Null sec.



At this point your probably wondering how removing null-sec of its biggest income stream is going to revitalize it. well that brings me to part 2

Aftermath:

Sfter the brazen pirate attack on Concord, the DED takes the bold step of permanently doubling the bounties on all Pirate Npcs in Null sec. However with no method of recording the kills concord is left without means to pay out such bounties. Which Brings me to:

Anchorable DED field relays
This is a tower sized device that performs the function of recording every NPC pirate kill in the system its anchored in and beaming the information to Yulai every 20 minutes. Like an ihub it must be anchored on a Planet and will Posess roughly the same HP as a large tower with good resists. Now for the fun part, Since like any other Pos this will be shootable after taking 25% shield damamge power fluctuations in the relay start to be affected and the relay goes into sleep mode. During sleep mode it can no longer beam info out, but benefits from a higher resist profile. Thus a small gang with reasonable DPS can deny the ability to Rat in a system until they are fought off and the relay repaired, while a larger more determined fleet say as a precursor to invasion can destroy the relay instead.

Additonally being anchored in Sov space the relays would now become taxable by the allaince that anchors them, providing alliances with a much needed income stream that doesnt rely on renters, moons or any of that jazz and allows the line member to directly contribute to his organizations bottom line.

So with one new structure we now have a new incentive for small gang roaming fleets and a real penalty for not fighting them off, ie no ratting until you repair the relay or if they take the time to blow it up completely anchor a new tower. Null sec will finally will have fields to pillage, and alliances will benefit from the massive income potential of all the nullbears shooting pirates in all those anomolies


ok thats all i got, tear me to shreds.

well they wouldnt have to grind tens of mill in structure HP cause they can "RF" the relay after knocking out 25% of its sheilds and deny isk to entire system until its being repaired. and then hotdrop and kill the repair fleet just cause.

the HP can be jiggled around till its 7-8 minutes for a 30 man gang to "RF" the relay.

30 Man isn't a Gang, its a Fleet, a Micro Blob

Nuke it from orbit?

But African swallows are non migratory aren't they?

This. The targeting system on your ship knows what you just killed and that data is relayed at FTL speeds through the fluid router network built into the network of stargates. The information reaches the DED who then process it and transfer the ISK into your wallet via more FTL data transmissions over the fluid router network.

dont let yourself get hung up on HP numbers, they can be adjusted up or down based upon your "average null sec roam" to achieve the desired results during the sisi testing.

Why is no one talking about finally having a method of generating allaince income that isnt direcly tied to the amount of territory you own, or the amount of renters you have, or how good your moons are. And further the ability the ability for smaller entitties to effectively crush or at least hinder this income stream, without the benefit of some artifical timer i might add, if said nullsec entity is unable or unwilling to adequately defend it.

Alright then.

And while your gang i shooting the thingy, the ratters will just go somewhere else.

Worst idea ever seen would ruin the game completely doing this you may as well start making an all new game why not just remove npc rats from the game all together ccp needs to drive huge spikes into the power blocks to encourage small gang warfare eliminate ALL moon goo and nerf super capital movement to 1 light year you want to invade the other side of eve good in rl that would be a nightmare logistically so I would say make it a good 10 jumps to move them from one side to the other ccp needs to get off its butt and focus on small gang everything because with their broken moon goo the little guy will never stand a chance no matter how hard they try all space assets go back to the same power blocks and moon mining should be viable in ANY security of space not just for the 0.0 powerblocks. this game has so many bandaids slapped on it they fall off at will and leave a stark reminder of the things that kill this game for new and old players alike

awful
