Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I liked the idea of the convoys also. As a matter of fact there is already simulated traders and convoys. This would be quite simple to work out.

3 tiers based on cargo cap:

TI 20k m3 50 chits per jump.
TII 40k m3 100 chits per jump.
TIII 80k m3 200 chits per jump.

Every 10k chits spent in same corp you get a permanent 10% reduction in prices to a max of 50%.

Just a service button in the station service window so you can choose the ship or ships you want to hire and the number of jumps you would need them. This would open a menu showing the systems -and submenu for stations- in that range. Once selected and confirmed the payment is done and chits are sustracted from player journal. tShips should show in ship hangar as a not driveable ship but would be ready to open, load and unload. Once ready ships will undock when master -who paid the bill- undocks himself. At this point there is not way back and convoy will start the journey as any other ship with AP, meaning they wont jump to a stargate but a few Kms before.

Speeds either for warping as for sub warp will be sgnificant slower than the normal ranges for capsuler ships symilar types as the amount of computers needed for the AI to operate the ships would take a lot of room.

Players do to me? I thought I was a player myself, ain't I? I can deal with defeat. That's one of the reasons I dont bend the head and join a tribe of bullies who cannot. If is a fair combat I don't have a problem in losing. Of course I rather win but I take things very sporty spirit. My sorry ass has being blown in many ways. Sometimes even cause the other dude was better than me, but most times I chase them away and then another batch comes and the first group heals. Sometimes I can destroy some of them but my fits are never for PvP as those encounters usually are not wanted or welcomed. So the options are joining with people I really don't like or lose. I am very slowly finding those guys who have something between their ears but I gave up long ago the idea of my gang being competitive. You just have to fly around and look at peoples bios, listen the local chats in most market hubs or just see the tendencies that the mass prefer: Griefing, ganking minners, bumping minners, showing of like high turkies in a barn, just look at the names that dont even start with a capital letter, the stetics in their toons, the rudeness in the posts here in forums.

So why don't I leave EvE if I am so unconfortable with my fellow companions of game? Because I know this game was made for me and not for the hordes of ******** who destroy for grief 10 Vs one and dare to have the arrogance of saying is because the poor dude was not prepared, don't understand the complications of the game and BS (does not stand for battleship this time) like that.

I just tried to melt your brain with so many words, I admit it.

It's not the quantity of the words you used, it's the order you placed them in.

typical male, he's not satisfied with exotic dancers....

u sure about that?

CCP advertise the game with the slogan 'Be the villain'. Eve is essentially mad max in space, it is in fact the gankers and pirates that are playing out the ethos of eve. scamming, piracy and theft is not just ok, its encouraged and brings the game publicity.

its not for the guy who likes to play alone, its for players who make friends. Its not for lazy players who refuse to learn, its for players who put the work in, adapt and prepare. By putting more effort in making friends, other players are able to call upon allies in a fight. and why shouldnt they when they've made that effort?

CCP continuously push the ideology of putting the work in urself, standing up for urself and relying on other players for support rather than NPC 's doing all that for u.

What kind of player do u consider urself and what made u think eve was designed for u?

u can play how u want, and other players can play how they want. But CCP has designed this game, very much deliberately, to allow other players to interact with u non-consensually. thats the point of the sandbox.



If u want to explore areas of the game without putting in the effort to make friends and defend urself, there is the test server

Mr. Yamato,

I am not trying to stop other players to interact with me nor me being isolated and unable to interact with you. But I still want to keep my right to not let the flow to drag me to a play a style doesnt fit me. I dont see why players having an escort -being NPC or capsuleer- would neither stop other players to develop their style. This may force them to organize better, this may take away some unfair victories they dont deserve, but, oh well, they must be doing something wrong.

Why I say they dont deserve? Because if yur victory is only achieved because numerical superiority and if numbers balance you dont get them anymore, then we are playing here a social game of antisocial behavoir. The more we can gather together, the better we are, is the name of the game. Everything else goes to nothingness? The skills, the knodlege, the hours of experience? Who would really suport that destruction of such a craftmanship of a game? I tell you who: Them.

Mr. Agrippa,

I agree-pa with you one should not expect NPCs make to job for you. This would be called a bot, a macro or just cheationg. Anyone who have read the post should know at this point that has never being the intention of the idea. The NPCs are not ment to fight other NPCs in my plan. I am not discusing here if it would be legit or not. As far as I dream EvE everything should be subordinated to simulate realiti even dou is a fiction even dou it creates unfair situations. Anyway the escorts I am talking here are only wanted -imo- to ballance the unballanced against PvP encounters that exploit the numerical diferences and cowardly pick 'easy targets'. If this is the kind of game we want to develop... I'm out. If, instead, we want to keep exploring this historical -first time ever technology allowed us to do it- creation of a virtual universe, then join me and help me giving back to New Eden the features unrealistic 'game mechanics' are impeding.

I believe it is also called lemmingry

Go ahead. But first gain the chits. Aha!

what stops u from fighting back when ur PvE'ing?
