EVE General Discussion

I think you asking a question like this is pure nonsense in every way possible. It's just absolutely unavoidable to even think of an idea which as I can tell is not worth even posting. Eve is cruel and dark, you should know. You DON"T need a "hard mode" at all in this game. It's hard enough to do even simple things like undocking without getting blapped like I did last night in a rookie ship for laughs.

Your conception of what constitutes a "hard mode" version is beyond hope.

FLY RECKLESS

I think the idea has merit.

I think you evidently know nothing about this game and need that blue banner stripped immediately.

Fabulous idea. Also, the mission should warp to the players instead of the players warping to the mission. This courtesy would be greatly appreciated by those that spend a significant amount of time in space. Two missions for the price of one!

You are free to biomass your character every time you die, problem solved...

and starting fresh of sp everytime u die isnt expensive ?? ( time expensive ) ..


dude , get real htfu or go create a wow account

EVE is build as a sandbox I'm told. Part of that means creating your own content.

For your own character there is a harcore-mode. If you find yourself podded and in station; go to loginscreen and biomass.

Point is ofcourse that others are not doing hardcore-mode. So killing their pod is less cool. You'll be at a disadvantage often. If you get podded when you finally reached BS 5 without dying earlier...

I'm not a fan of hardcore-mode. But I agree that its not really there right now.

Since you dont respawn with your shiny faction PVP ship with the purple hardener set; I'm happy the way it is.

I always liked the idea of a "live fast die young" mode.

Imagine this: you can choose the SP learning rate of a char but with acceleration options whereby you can go with learning SP faster, but these "hyper accelerated super brains" cannot be cloned. You pop, that's it.

On further thought however, there would have to be SP caps lest everybody have a 100M SP indie alt in a year.

Were it "up to me" I would:

Accelerated Brain level: Acceleration rate: Cap:
1 20% 70M SP
2 40% 50M SP
3 50% 40M SP
4 60% 30M SP
5 70% 20M SP


And of course it would be best (as much as I hate KBs) to make it known on a killmail that you popped a "Level 5 superbrain".

But overall I think that such a feature would allow new players and vets alike to make a decision ahead of time. "You want to run with the big dogs NAOW and not put in the time? Fine - here are options but you die you're done!".

(There will still be tears though)


Edit: if we really want to laugh, make it so characters created with this option have huge bulbous heads and hence making them huge gank magnets. I can see it: "Hey we got a fathead in local".

This is an absolutely horrible idea. There's numerous ways you can abuse this to gain advantages on characters that would never get podded.
