Hi, relegated to trial accounts so this can only go here...
Have a bunch of suggestions I wanted to unload.

Dust514 and EVE

  • Open up the market to the dust equipment in EVE but only allow us to "lend" our equipment to the Dust players, it gets auto-returned in the remote chance it survives after the match to solve the economy breaking problems, so finally EVE players can actually be useful to dust.

  • As far as I understand planetary conquest, the dust players conquer by district right?
  • - expand this to allow dust players to stage raids on unfriendly command centers in their district for small amounts of PI which is sold back to EVE at CCP controlled static prices so as to avoid exploiting.
    - Allow friendly command centers to get a small bonus to raw materials mined (more security = better surveying).
    - Let EVE players be able to see who owns what district with a nice overlay or even better a flat map so we can get a picture of the situation down there.
    - Set it so that an EVE player needs to drop a dust lander on another planet to allow the dust players to try invade that planet, no more magic appearing, things would be more strategic.


WHY EVE HAZ NO WASD??

This is a common complaint I hear and I often give sermons about twitch controls vs eve's data saving method and 64 players per system vs 4000 to the people who complain but I was thinking there may be a way to cheat a bit here.
(Drone camera robot InB4 you in your pod)
So, from a FPS cockpit / bridge chair view you would see a globe shaped grid around you that you can adjust with a joystick or the old WASD method.
EVE can then process a new heading after the grid was adjusted as if it was a double click every 5 seconds or so, or just make them press something to confirm the new direction then process that as a double click?.
a button to target the object under the cross hair and +- to set the throttle and its near as dammit.
Its going to be a delayed thing and you might need to state clearly what to expect to the wing commander pilots before they undock to control expectations, but I think this might be a cool way to fly around.
first person is always more immersive.

Walking in stations

Cheat and just make the door open into a sealed off passage, I'll be happy to settle for that now. (I really really really do want walking in stations to happen)

Unashamed begging section

Walking in ships... there is really only one ship type this would make sense on, mining ships and to keep things simple at first what about just the Venture, hey? Smile what about it? Smile I think this would be a great new player magnet?Smile
And here too, drone camera robot InB4 you in your pod.

There is a very good reason why trial accounts are kept away from the features & ideas forum.

And this the reason why CCP has trial limitations on the forums. 0/10

I am locking this, as this is not a forum for feature ideas. I would move it to another section, but this is a trial account posting, so it would not belong anywhere else.
