EVE General Discussion

I like this idea of most of the stations in EVE having massive damage and depressurized sections because we've all been killing things that bleed acid.

"Docking permission denied: No hangar space available currently."

8 years.

Agreed.



I don't particularly mind bringing in twitch gameplay somewhat and don't see how you'd get around it.



The point is bringing them together. Smuggle contraband through space and then make the final portion of the delivery in person because they're contraband and if you're offloading them from your ship to your station items where they presumably can be inspected, problems will occur.



Not sure what kind of penalties you'd inflict. I'd be against losing SP.

The main point is, though, that this literally opens up an entirely new realm of possibilities. Just to add on to it a little, what if you let players own the places where bets are made on Dust 514 fights? What if you let them own the bars? What if you let them assign the assassination contracts for some other form of intel or access to information in their account such as owned POS locations or something like that?

You literally open up such an expansive realm of ideas, and they can be iterated upon, that it's another game on its own.

Just like Eve in that you never have to undock, you never have to exit your pod into station.

On top of that: Add crew training to the game. All of our ships do have crews, but we never see them and never interact with them. Just bringing another window with timers and numbers on it is just lazy, let us manage this in person and build barracks or simulators for it and actually see these things in person.

Why not allow capsuleers the ability to have a crew training program where they can train the crew and then sell the crew contract to others? Allow it for better cap or shield recharge, etc.

Same thing with body guards and mercenaries for while walking around stations.

The limits are endless. Not to mention that mechanics like this would take Eve further away from a niche market and appeal to a HUGE array of gamers, thus bringing in a lot more revenue.

On top of this, more people would actually buy the in-game apparel items. They do it in other MMOs, they'll do it in Eve too if you provide an environment to show them off in.

huh a good idea from a troll.

Yes, bring another one "CCP I want WIS just like in SC, so I could play another game while playing EVE without toggling windows" thread.

You will not get it in foreseeable future.

It's the same way that it is now. If you don't want to participate in PvP that involves loss of ship in Eve, then don't undock. If you don't want to participate in PvP in station that involves loss of clone (or other things), then don't leave your pod.



I don't see why not.



To provide a way to protect yourself using non-capsuleers (and non-DUST mercenaries) using normal NPCs. I just saw it as a way to get around having to pay an inordinate sum of money to an actual merc corp to defend you in a high-sec station against possible robberies and muggings. It would just provide a bit of protection, much like adding a shield booster on your badger carrying something through high sec.



There's not much you can do about it if you add these kinds of features, it just attracts more crowds. On top of that, they're going to have to fund this game in some manner. I'd rather not pay 5-10$ extra per month just to have this content, so I don't see what else you could do.

If you just ignore the typical WoW players, it really isn't that bad...



attracting different crowds and different types of gamers will result in more people buying it though. I'm sure that people who have found out that CQ is useless right now and didn't bother to do anything with their avatars would feel the same way, though.

If that is the case, then Im afraid Im entirely against WiS.

I like this game because it is niche, not inspite of it, sorry

While I'd love to have WiS, I don't have any faith whatsoever in CCP being able to code it. Not after reading that Guardian article. If anything, I hope they tackle sov system next, because it is the area where damage done would affect me the least, and I'd get to enjoy loads of tears from nullsec residents.

Victor Frankenstein would like a word with you...
