Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I fully support this.

What about a contest to design a POS Runabout that would have a Structures Cargo Hold of 4000 m/3, an Ammunition Cargo Hold of 1000 m/3 and a regular cargo hold of 250 m/3. The first two cargo holds could only be used to store the appropriate items with the third cargo hold being able to hold anything.

The Runabout would not have any high slots, one medium slot and one low slot with three rig slots rated at 400 units of calibration.

The Runabout would have a based velocity of 275 m/3 and with velocity upgrades could well reach 400 m/3 easy to allow for fast deployment of structures and resupply of ammo as well as transferring ore and items between one array and another.

The image that I have in my mind is something along the lines of a mixed Venture miner with a section or two of Iteron Cargo modules trailing behind it.

Or maybe it would just be easier to slap some velocity rigs a t2 MWD and t2 overdrives to a Mammoth.

Well, i was hoping mostly here for a visual design, that will have some major idea behind it, but just like the last one, i'd like to see contest that is about hull design first of all, stats can be just given as idea for CCP to work from there.

I've thought of Missile/shield Pirate Faction ships...

Mordu's Legion Ships!

I even thought of stats and names for them, but my thread got buried

I'm even making a 3D model for the BS, just for fun~♪

the best way to wag the dog is just start posting concept stuff that looks good, so the general player base will have something to get behind. it's not a guarantee that anything will be done, but i think it's the best chance this community has of starting a "thing" with concept art. and I think it would be good. rolling, crowdsourced item design is something being done by another game, *cough*, and in this community it's still a huge area for additional content. the returns in terms of community content for a little bit of effort are pretty high.

it's up to the artists to start this, and it's too early to expect a promise of implementation (that's the point of another contest). we have no idea what their manpower or budget is like, and the chances are slim they would spare it ...and/so it's a mistake to ask for something right now, from CCP, who will probably remain silent and/or not pay attention unless something is very loud and beneficial to subscription numbers. unsolicited concepts are just make-believe, but when it comes to subscriptions, hope and imagination are a close second after delivering. i think EVE players understand this

[like the story we're told about how valkyrie didn't become a 'thing' until it was made into a working example of something. probably wouldn't have happened if it was pitched as a concept]

i've taken a look at what is being submitted in the contest held by that other game, and if I share anything it will look at least as good as those.

I missed the last contest/i was off doing army stuff. but i'm caught up now. that was fairly entertaining

and there's these guidelines that would be a good idea to follow (rules)
