Crime & Punishment

Mass LP farming anyone?

OP: Make CONCORD have a response time of 0.0 seconds in noob systems to keep day old players from dying, bout all I can think of ATM.

Remove the ability for an NPC corp player to run a level 3 or 4 mission. Remove concord from level 3 and 4 missions.

High sec is fixed!

[edit]

I forgot about incursions, so make them concord-free zones too :)

Incursions should be removed from highsec, I can completely agree with that. The risk/reward is tilted too much on the reward factor.


Missioning I think lvl 4 missions are fine, I'm biased though this part as lvl 4 locates tend to be very important in my highsec life. I could live with the Lvl 4 mission somehow being nerfed as the isk part of isn't important to me, but I would personally very much like it if they stay in highsec. The idea is lower the Isk reward and raise the LP reward seems like a decent idea, that would create an influx of faction mods in the markets.


As for the trade hubs, Dod, Jita, Amarr and Rens, tend to a few jumps away from low as is and Low is right next door to Hek. They create a flow of export just fine and I don't think anymore trade hubs need to be made, I wouldn't even know how EVE would go about 'making' a trade hub anyways. EVE has been around for awhile and convincing someone to go to a different place to buy, would be rather difficult.

NPC corps need more restrictions, high tax rates, denial to higher lvl mission, so on and so forth is a great idea. You can be really mean and have the denial of CONCORD assistance to all NPC players, having a buffed Faction Police now being the responder rather than CONCORD. That would force basically every hauler into a corp.

Here's an idea: If you're in a Gallente NPC corp, you can only run Gallente missions and Minmatar missions up to level 2 or 3 - y'know, the Empires being at WAR and everything.

High-sec isn't a training ground or a nursery for soon-to-be null players. You can play an active role in the game while remaining entirely in high-sec. Some of the richest players in the game make their money through industry and playing the economy.

I think it's reasonable to reduce the absurd profitability of Incursions, but they are the only real form of group PVE in high-sec so they should remain an option. In low-sec, Incursions should be geared to ensure that gankers will have a hard time just warping on site and blowing up battleships (if it isn't already so - I have no experience there).

There are only a few low-sec areas where a local trade hub would be worth the hassle vs. flying to the nearest high-sec hub. If more players start spending their time in low-sec then hubs should emerge naturally.



I would just as well advocate for removing PVP entirely from starter systems, except for duels and flagged players.

Separate each of the four empire factions by a considerable stretch of low sec systems. And spread out entry points into low or routes between them to alleviate choke points.

High sec should be more isolated than low sec.

Personally I don't think high sec needs to change much. Corporations and their mechanics desperately need to be reworked. Preferably in a manner similar to Industry ( from the ground up and completely overhauled ). High sec is so active right now because Null is so inactive. I mean really, what's happening in null? Nothing. Nothing major anyways. Sovereignty and the surrounding null sec mechanics are in an even worse spot that corporation mechanics. The best way to get people out of high sec would be to make the other areas of space more exciting and enticing. Wormholes are cool, and with the pending changes, I would expect they'll see a new surge of activity. Low sec is starting to look more and more attractive to industrialists due to all the advantages that exist there now, with no change to the risks.

If Null sec gets a major boost that produces a surge in activity, then people will flock out of high sec to participate (myself included). In the meantime I got bored with Null and came to highsec to seek entertainment (and found it).

tl;dr : Don't fix HS, it's not broken, fix everywhere else.

Incursions should be left alone. How else do I provide ships for my PvPing if I aint making isk. I dont like any of the ideas... maybe leave it alone for a change and stop begging for nerfs.

Think about what your asking with making noob systems pvp free zones. Guess who will be the majority in the system. Wont be the new people rather those that asked for a pvp free area, a safe place to avoid war decs and CODE or whoever is hunting them.

I think the npc corps should perpetually be at war with eachother

Any trade hubs in lowsec would require the system owning entity to allow trade ships to pass. Nobody is running past a gate camp in anything other than a blockade runner, and even those are eaten regularly in systems like Old Man Star.

As for highsec, I am going to have to disagree. Nowhere in EVE is "safe" or relaxing. If you are truly relaxing while in hisec, your doing it wrong, and eventually youll get bitten doing it. Empire also shouldnt be considered a learning area.... no more than the rest. Its merely a different set of game mechanics, and youll learn FAR more about the game in other security zones.
