Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hello!

I regularly move my JF around from station to station in our region of space. I fly around my interceptor pilot on an alt carrying a cyno and some liquid ozone to get to the stations that are the next node in my route.

When I get there, I remove the LO and Cyno and put them into my hangar into that station, then contract the interceptor to myself. I then undock and redock into the station, simply to get the rookie ship to light my cyno.

To me I could see benefit, for situations like this and other situations, to have a "Request a Rookie Ship" button in each station that will give you a noobship if you don't already have one in your hangar.

I could see this being beneficial for not only the players to request one at will, but also could lower the impact on the server/database management on EVE's side of things. Right now, to do the prior described scenario, I will be impacting the server more because I am creating contracts and unloading and reloading from stations, etc.... when the goal is to simply get a noob ship.

Another note is that for most players, especially those who have been around for extended periods of time like myself, just because I dock in a station that has no ship, doesn't mean I want a noobship automatically given to me. I can't imagine how many noobships are just sitting in people's hangars all across New Eden taking up that much more processing power and room in EVE's database.

The Feature can be very simple:

1. Have an option where users can turn off the automatic delivery of noobships to their hangar upon entering a station with no other ship

2. Add a button to "Request a Rookie Ship" that will deliver a rookie ship to you as long as you don't already have one in your personal hangar. Obviously you don't want people to just spam the button and get thousands of ships.

This would help solve not only the problems I mentioned above, but I can see (as a developer myself) that there would be a good load taken off the storage/management of the player database for not having all these noobships being puked out into every hangar in New Eden :)

That was just recently made possible :) Why isn't that desirable?

Definitely -- I think that could be a game option to be toggled one way or the other

I suppose to avoid players getting millions of ships it should be restricted to one free rookie ship per dock, so you'd need to undock and redock to get another one. Otherwise supported.

I am still in favor of cynos for the noobships -- primary reason I would want this :)

I am curious for why there is such more hatred for cynos on noob ships, and why this feature would change something in regards to that? I can already dock in an interceptor, contract my ship to myself, undock/redock and grab a noobship that way,

What's the hatred toward noobships with cynos? It's been like that for awhile.

+1 from me, supported.

Obviously not an exploit, otherwise we'd have accounts banned left and right over it. Still, just because CCP goes and does a thing, it does not mean that thing is good.

If your often at the same stations, leave a stockpile of cheap frigs at them.

I really like this idea. As it just makes life a little easier and i can see them implementing it as a "little thing"
