EVE General Discussion

Also, ship skins are much closer to the "SPACESHIPS ONLY" people, and the "everything should be destructible" people. Maybe WiS was just too far outside the box for some people. ;)

As much as I like the idea, you can't just have a system where a player can just walk up to a "hanger" and break in. You can't simply extend the ability to destroy and steal stuff to everything in this game, as it is not "real life" and players can not be online in the game to defend against this type of PvP, This is exactly the reason POS'es have reinforce timers. If you were "living the game" this would make sense, but online a few hours a day? I don't think so.

What will happen is that you will take all the space PvP away as people can now just steal stuff directly from a hanger, and will start making maxed out "thieves", to which the only counter will be to transfer really large bank accounts and hangers to "storage" accounts, and then let them go to "unsubscribed" mode, as you can always just plex one month if you need to access the assets in a dire emergency.

And if anyone here response is "then we make items steal-able from offline accounts" then those people need their heads examined.

We already have "thieves", they infiltrate a corp, gain trust, get assigned privileges, and then take everything and run. It's quite enough already.

I'm still fairly new and I'm not sure WIS really has its place in ≡V≡, but I think one application that would be really interesting is adding a station administrator/operator role, and even extend POSes to include slowly moving battle platforms.

The operator would be restricted by her physical movement (skills can help her improve her multitasking, agility, and competence) and she would be responsible for providing defensive support to undocking ships, navigate the battle platform, lay mines, and then defend the station if necessary. She may also be responsible for repairs by climbing outside in a spacesuit or directing droids, performing deep scanning (think about a science station), or remote observation (like having spy stations).

Boarding rules for station/POS takeover could be implemented. In a complex version of "Paratrooper" the operator may be expected to fend off invading clones and lock down her corp's property.

I think this would help improve the sort of boring and clunky (POS offlining and shields) mechanics that POSes and Customs Offices have.

What are your opinions of these ideas?

I want a meat-locker for my corpse collection to show up in.

Maybe CCP will announce something at fanfest

Post your CQ images personalized in GIMP or Photoshop. Share your ideas with others. It's all what we can do now.

I'm not expecting much in this department, sadly. Other than the sleeves like the tattoos and cybernetic arms, we've seen nothing from them, and my understanding is those were things finished long ago, but just not released until the Collector's Edition.

Until CCP says "STATION WALKING!!!" We aren't getting Wi$.

I know they were trying to go with this "unique New Eden style", but realistically, a lot of people would pay good money for some more conventional designs. A good straight-up tuxedo, for example. They can still be space materials, but some of the styles CCP went with are just wacky.

You think current EvE style is wacky? Does no one remember what the old avatars looked liked?... there is nothing 'wacky' about 99.9% of our current wardrobe.
It's just vaguely futuristic jackets, boots and friggin t-shirts.
Current eve clothes are way too conventional already as it is... We need some proper spacey designs. >:P
