so... carriers will be Martyoshkas, and motherships Babushkas? or would that be Carriers&Motherships as martyoshkas and Titans as babushkas?

Drones should get angry the longer they are left unrepaired, i.e. take longer to respond when in armour damage, start arguing back when in hull damage...

All ships bigger than a battlecruiser get a special bay for a frigate that you get ejected inside of (rather than pod) when the big ship dies.


Carrier ejects cruiser when it dies, cruiser ejects destroyer, destroyer ejects frigate, frigate ejects pod. Think matryoshka doll

I thought that was a Babushka...


I believe Matryoshka is the original word, that is often misunderstood as Babushka, but they are both referring to the same thing.
Matryoshka meaning mother, and Babushka i think is grandmother.

So there could be two classes of nested ships: Matryoshka (mother)- and it's older and more volatile Babushka(grandmother) model.


I thought motherships were already in the game?

alternate in game currencies, and currency exchange markets, put that in your economic model and smoke it. AUR doesn't count, its not player tradable.

Let us adjust the 'package' size of our male avatars.

I mean seriously, from the looks of things, it appears there's a reason we desire flying around in such big ships. Big smile

Inverse Ninja Law skill/module.

Attach this module to your ship to gain a bonus if you're completely alone (no fleet, no corpmates in systems, etc.). As more friends arrive, the bonus reduces until, after enough fleet mates arrive and the bonus becomes a penalty.

Make a Cloacking device "random password protected"(password mechanics already implemented on POSES).
First cyckle for free.
1 cycle lasts 2.5 minutes. each 10 cycles you get triple cycle(enough to go toilet or make coffee)
Each activation needs to be "minigame"
4 digits code pop up on display and pilot have only to press 4 digits popping up in randomised row as buttons
t.ex. CODE popping up is 8596
Randomly placed buttons appear close to each other abowe the capacitor as 6985 or 8659 and pilot have to press buttons in right sequence.

Such method will "ban" AFK cloacking, will do impossible script CLOACKing and give possibility to active pilots easy control their cloacking without any interference with game mechanics.

Very simple code changes, it can be done on client side with randomise password forwarding from Game Server for bot protection.

"Shooting players to get criminal tag, shooting NPCs to redeem yourself."

I mean seriouslly. If you get criminal status for shooting players then make it only way to remove it, is by shooting player criminals. Remove NPC influence in EVE Online, one step at the time. Pirate

The starter school corporations should declare war on each other. The wars should be by opposite faction but same discipline. For example The University of Caille is the Gallente liberal arts college so it should declare war against its Caldari analogue The Science and Trade Institute, meanwhile the Imperial Academy is the Amarrian military academy so it should declare war against its Minmatar counterpart Republic Military School, etc.
