Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So let's just make carriers, dreads, etc be able to jump from one side to the other, with absolutely no restrictions, since "travel time is boring"?


No, sov wars are unpopular due to the sov system basically tossing most of what pertains to strategy out the window and turned it into a "who has the most force they can stuff into a single system for the final timer" shitstorm. You realize that, right?

I have at least a dozen fits, capital and sub, strictly for tower repping. one of the reasons they are so useful is that when the structure comes out from RF the other guy has lost interest and doesn't show up.

BIG YAWN.

But see, the sov rules came about because null was turning into a ghost town - or so I am told - I wasn't doing more in 0.0 then than just riding thru for the thrill. I know lots of vets who will probably never permanently live there again because they got kicked out of system after system. One guy offered to contract me fifty billion Isk worth of his stuff still sitting down in Delve, and said if I could get it back for him he'd follow me anywhere. :)

What I think would eventually happen, if the null population is allowed to grow, and sovereignity rules used concord fees to penalize idle space, and excessively large titleholders as per:

is that the current PAX MEGACORPUS (hey I just coined that :P ) will dissolve under its own weight. No need to use burdensome, indfividual player punishing rule changes to try to beat the game into some dev's personal vision.

Tell Mittenz if he really wants to be a troublemaker to start a campaign in favor of REFUNDING sps to all the players who want to trade there cap skills in.

no, otherwise i want extra training time given to me for free for the time i spent training them skills, Let it stay as it is.

Yes, I've read that post multiple times, it was a terrible idea then, it's still a terrible idea 2 weeks later.

You do realize that in a proper sov system, capitals wouldn't be as required as they are in today's **** system, right?

Funny? It was all over the place, and made no sense.

I mean, stop hotdropping by making renter empires unprofitable? I've no idea how you got this idea to start with, and I've no idea what the logic is behind this, but I fail to see the connection since one is not connected to the other in any way, shape or form.

Increase cost of systems for sov owners above a certain number? Say hello to goonswarm1, goonswarm2, goonswarm3, goonswarm4, goonswarm5, goonswarm6, goonswarm7, goonswarm8, goonswarm9, goonswarm10. Congratulations, you've fixed absolutely nothing.

And unless nullsec has died down drastically on the ratting/mining/etc side since we won the last big war, most of the systems in nullsec should have a ratting index of at least 3, unless we're talking about backwater systems which doesn't even make strategic sense to hold apart from "well at least the other guy can't take it".

No, the problem isn't isk, it isn't the lack of a sliding scale of sov ownership costs, it's merely the fact that CCP have let various mechanics (like sov) sit still for far too long in an absolute **** state, combined with the fact that more and more players are now capital capable, which means that just like titans of olde (which were supposed to be limited to a handful in the entire universe), they've been used in ways which break the game and make it absolute ****.

Well then if they aren't connected in any way why are they being messed with?



That sounds like a LOT of wallets. You know that many people in Eve that you trust THAT much?




Even a MEH quality plain 0 sov system with good upgrades and a station can comfortably support 20 pilots. since there are 3000 + nullsec system in the cluster then there is at least room for 60,000. CCP could start a subscription drive and still not fill it.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you haven't paid any attention whatsoever with how often entities like PL, NCdot or even CFC have gone to the other side of the universe because "titans tackled", then.

Which, more often than not has fuckall to do with renters, except if they're dumb renters who, for some reason, think "hurr a titan is the biggest ship in the game it must be the endgame I must have a titan oh god oh god oh god why are they shooting my titan nooooooo".


A single person can do that, you know. You've solved absolutely nothing.


It doesn't take 20 pilots to get a system into your "minimal cost" idea, which you'll probably see if you check the military index now. I can't check myself, since I don't have eve installed on this computer, but a large majority of systems were well utilized ratting-wise when I last checked. So I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.

Not the last 3 years, no. Hisec was more profitable.

Your idea's still bad.

That explains your jurassic position on these issues :)
