There is a mainstream space game in the making which is planning to add a pvp slider in the game options to influence the probability of pvp encounters in their instances.

So i was thinking if eve could add a pve slider. If you set it to 0 you become a true eve citizen and your rookie ship receives one turret slot more + hulltanking elite cert in cargo. I just don't know what should happen if you set it to max, maybe a chance to be randomly concorded even in low sec?

ideas?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

As long as it's called the 'Carebear Slider' I'm good with the idea.

Don't know what the other end of the slider should be though. Should be relatively easy to find plenty of 100% carebears though, so I'm sure there'll be ideas coming.

How can you "decrease the probability" that someone wants to blow you up? Short of outright preventing people from shooting at all, if someone wants you dead... they MAKE you dead.

How did you Veterans start?

That sounds like a bad idea. You warn the developer that its a bad idea.

With the slider at 0 PVP, your ship glows pink and has it's own soundtrack of the Carebears theme.

With the slider at full PVP, your ship starts to smell like reused underwear and only depositing lunch money in the pilots account can stop it.

I would be far more interested in a Forum Warrior Slider which controls the probability of the IGB opening when someone posts a stupid thread so that you can be the first to flame them.

I like EVE, because PVP is determined by actual location instead of by 'sliders'.

I think this is a great idea!

Also, if you set the PVP slider to anything but max-PVP, then you are also unable to buy or sell anything. Trade anything to any player or receive anything. CONCORD will pay you no bounties for rats. Mission agents will not talk to you. And mining lasers will have 100% loss while mining. The only isk flow allowed will be outgoing and only that for the 10mil isk charge each stargate will charge in transit fees.

Eve needs this NOW. Who ever thought a good idea to let any old sociopath **** on people just playing a game? If u want to shoot ppl, shoot ppl who want to be shot, not innocent ppl.

I like this Idea, and have no plans of become someones PvP content.
away, i realistic and know something like this will never ever be accepted by CCP, for many reasons.

might be a good first step in a direction to refunds a Player ship destroyed in 0.7 and above.

There is a slider already ... and you actually get to travel through it. One end is called "hisec" and the other is called "nullsec" Choosing where you want to be on the slider is simply a matter of moving through the appropriate gates.
