Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'm betting you meant to click on General Discussion forum?

I heart your face.

The fourth wall has been breached. I can see the man who holds my puppet strings!

He's kind of a nerd.

*The camera pans right to see N'maro sitting on a chair in front of a crackling fire. A book in his hands, tea on the little table to his right, pipe clamped between his teeth and a monocle under his brow.

He turns to the camera, snaps the book shut, puffs his pipe with an air of aged wisdom and adjusts his monocle as he prepares to spill knowledge from his mighty brain. He clears his throat...*


Ahem...
Way wrong board, mate.


*Re-opens the book and begins reading again as the scene fades to black.*

I came along and I wondered. Is this art? It's looking like some modern piece, reminds me of people talking over the world from an unusual perspective. Are you coming from the Vherokior School of Theatre and Writing? Interesting but well I don't understand. Where does this lead to?

Is it the critic on us capsuleers slowly leaving the grasps of humanity and the world of mortals behind? I'm not so good with theatre and that. I concentrated on music the last years. So please don't mind if I make a fool of myself and everybody else knows what this is about.

I have no idea. But it sounds nice. Please go on. Maybe I get it. Is there a bucket to donate isk for the artists?

I have opened a discussion channel for people trying to interpret this piece. Please help us a bit. On which kind of culture does it found? Maybe I just try to get it with the wrong cultural background. Was there a recent film, that this is relaying to? I have not seen so many films lately. They all come sadly down to propaganda or sex. Or sex and propaganda.

Which is a nice title for a film, I guess: "Sex, Lies and Propaganda-Clips." Anyway, I find this project refreshing. Thank you for sharing.

If anyone follows Ripard Teg's blog, apparently EVE is dying... because Dungeons and Dragons.

I'm not even kidding, although I wish I were.

The features of exploration :


Jump drive technology should enable ships to go beyond "known" space.

Currently, the rules within gated space are defined and established for most everyone.

My idea, would be to enable those ships that have jump drives to load up their hulls with pos equipment, go out beyond gated space and explore said areas.

NPC's and pirates and everything else would be out there but, that's part of the experience as well. Most of the equipment has been "adjusted" when Alliances established jump gates to enable them to move mass numbers of ships within a short location also within a set amount of time.

Jump gates should be the mean's that wormhole space can establish a permanent location into "normal" space. Yet, its been nullified.

Stations should be able to be moved into a wormhole but, you can only establish a POS.


Space beyond the gated areas would open up space as Null sec was intended to do. Look at how many times that CCP has rewritten a rule or changed the game mechanics to try to push more and more players into Null Space.

But, with the mechanics the same for both areas the game will never be able to evolve.


Let, the big ships go out and explore beyond gated space, bring your pos and arrays and refineries and everything else with them and establish their own domains and sov space. Give people a chance to setup moon mining and their own sov space and build some infrastructure.


Setup a system in which a system has "x" amount of time to establish themselves before concord starts to send gate construction crews off in your direction. This would enable more people to get out into the Unknown and actually try to get things built up and sov established.

What exactly are these titans and Supers doing in game except waiting for the next big fight. Its more than time to make them the ultimate sov builders that they should be.

At least this idea would enable people to get out and go explore areas, that haven't been established by mega-alliances. It would give more options to everyone trying to build and setup industry in some out of the way area beyond everyone else. It would also enable people to do more things within their own area of space. Down the road, they may lose that area to an invasion from some other group but, these features would enable more industry and building in unexplored areas.

It should be the biggest ships because your also facing the unknown and that's another aspect of the game that could be addressed and enhanced, incursions by some pirate group, or some local group that no one's ever seen before.

Minning fleets that could go out within carriers and build their own minning operation and station and sov area for weeks or months or years before some other group finds them.

On the other hand, there could be massive fleets setup to try to scan down, and conquer these groups also making the game more interesting.

There are so many complaints by everyone about, industry, and carebear's , issues about T2 bpo's. Here is a way to establish opening up new areas within the game. Giving everyone a chance to go out and build an area for themselves or, risk being killed in space and re-emerging within the clone vat aboard your titan or your own station...if you were smart enough to have one build in time.

After 10 years the game has to evolve and change and some old issued need to be readdressed and corrected. This feature would enable sov structures to be important and relevant again. Industry and moon mining to matter, building to matter, since out in the middle of nowhere you can't jump to the nearest station and buy your minerals or ships or equipment anymore, now you have to make it all on your own or die. How can anyone not get excited about that vs the status quo that we've been in.... that is why I believe that this feature would enable the next 10 years of eve to thrive and keep the excitement level notched up to max!

That is why this post was in features and ideas we need it to be discussed vs the arguments that you usually get about null sec building and carebears and all that...this feature is the next evolution of eve and without I do believe that we could soon see the slow decline and eventual demise of the game.

In short, total game-breaker. Stations in wormholes especially.

You limit the class of ships that can go beyond Gated space. That factor alone should appeal to everyone. Ok, you bring one of those ships in your carrier and that ship can be used in that lone system but, with no jump gates or jump bridges in the area, they are struck to docking inside a pos, station or carrier.

There are many people that would love to go out and establish their own system and setup the infrastructure to make it possible but, the only way to do that today in game is to belong to some alliance big enough to rent you an area of space and then build it up. Wouldn't being able to get in a carrier and go out beyond the gated systems be more exciting and enable smaller groups and individuals to get out there and setup their own equipment.

I think this feature would enable more people to do and try different things. but, also to expand and build the universe in their own personal way.

Cheers.
