EVE General Discussion

Jump Clones:
- Reduce cooldown by half (12 hours should be enough to prevent abuse), adds more interesting game play.
- Reduce standing requirement for installation to maybe 6.0? (8.0 seems high now compared to the 5.0 needed to get level 4 missions, it doesn’t make sense anymore)

Destroyers:
- Would be nice to have at least one T1 destroyer with missile bonuses for new players, otherwise it leaves a gap between frigates and cruisers (T2 like the Flycatcher is not an option in this context)

BlackOps:
- Should be able to fit Covert Op Cloak.
- Jump distance should be reviewed to improve their role.

Anomalies (Exploration):
- There is just not enough of them, please boost spawn amount, especially in NPC nullsec.

You should be able to group all mods of the same type, not just turrets and launchers.

This may sound crazy and possibly not do-able, but I think it would be cool to be able to tractor beam abandoned/disconnected drones and/or tractor beam my sentry drones. For sentry drones they could have the limitation of being able to only tractor sentries you own, much like yellow vs blue/white wrecks.

When using CTRL+F9 to remove the HUD, for a multitude of purposes, damage notifications and online/offline friend notifications stay on the page. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE remove this, i've several gorgeous screenshots ruined cos of this.

Online/Offline player notifications -- allow us to turn this on and off, set how long its on for, and grouping (by corp/alliance/custom categories) so that perhaps only war targets will show up on and off, not everyone!

Right-click options for all the controls down the right side of the screen, allowing you to go directly into a specific area - ie, Fittings right click gives you the option to go into Browse Fittings, etc... less clicks, faster bacon.

Rogue drone model based on the Dominix still has a limb with a missing foreleg. (Not so little thing: rogue drone infestations for new characters to fight with - use the Incursion system!)

NPC ships orbiting gates in hi-sec -- make them in formation and only move when attacking or locking onto a hostile, this would look much better than a random lazy orbit that makes it seem like the crew got bored.

Racial sentry guns for the gates in hi-sec would look and feel way cooler than the current ones (yes, i know they're a CONCORD thing, but still....)

The damaged Yulai station is still damaged. While i understand that its a part of EVE lore, i think it'd be cool to have a player-included effort to rebuild it, perhaps with some random NPC (or even pirate-aligned players?) attacks hampering the effort, with perhaps some sort of CONCORD LP bonus for helping out - lets write history!

The spinny bit on the scorpion model - any chance it could be written in with the turret coding so that it tries to face your target, and spins when not in use? Sort of a nod to its EWAR bonus, etc

HUD Clock - option to show both/or the time according to your computer system (aka, oh £$%# i should be in bed)

CTRL+Click option to overheat modules, along with a better (but cant think how) way of showing overheat status

Drugs & Boosters -it'd be pointless, but fun (unless you could somehow drug another player...) to have visual effects depending on the drug. Some of the ones you find aboard drug manufacturing plants have fun little descriptions - it'd be great to play with them, turn the HUD off and fly through space with some crazy visual effect as you listen to the Beatles or something ;)
The combat drugs could have interesting effects too, like if you look at a ship with an invulnerability field and you have some shield-related booster in effect, perhaps it shows up brighter, or glows more or sommat.

Sorry, back to little things:

Ability for players to flag (note: not for removal) contracts they believe are scams. The benefits and meta-gaming potential are obvious.

Freeform contracts need a comeback, things have changed since it was withdrawn, and again this could open up a fair amount of potential content.

Browsing all ships option. Somewhere. Maybe in the market (that right-click option sounds better now eh?). But SOMEwhere, it'd be nice to have the ability to browse through all ships in a function similar to the way the market interface works.

Pattern-saving option for probes. So that the pattern/configuration of the probes you are using does not change when the scale of the area you are scanning is in/decreased. This would save sooooooooo much time.

Scanner/scanning: If you have the rangefinder activated (the one to the left of your capacitor readout, that comes up with the big white circle around you, with ranges marked) and you alter the scanning angle in degrees, it should be shown visually on the rangefinder as a cone, factoring in the camera angle and not the ship alignment. It'd be pretty, and so much easier and intuitive than how its currently used.

Taking active modules into account, a "time remaining" counter (somewhere? maybe a mouse-over popup?) on the charge in the capacitor would be nice, currently there's only "how long it will last".

Fittings window: "simulate offline" option for modules, giving the player the ability to make decisions in space without having to go dock or wait for an hour before they can re-on all their modules. Usability here would be increased a huge amount.

Pirate-aligned stations should charge you a fee dependant on factional standing for 1) docking, 2) recharging shields 3) recharging capacitor, and 4) trade. It'd be a mild isk-sink, but kinda realistic too; shows that they're happy to do business with you, but the less of a £W%$ you are to them, the less they charge you for it.

F12 - HELP! Would be nice if there was an option for 1) linking you through to a help chat channel, perhaps within the HELP! interface, and 2) for experienced players to click a button saying "available", and act as live-support. When they're bored of it, they just click the button off and can go back to their own business. This could also incorporate some sort of new-but-not-newbie-friendly chat channel offering support for players who just cant kill that last NPC.

Auto-hide on the buttons sometimes doesnt work properly. If you click on one of hte buttons for the market or journal or whatever, the interface sometimes wont re-hide itself.

CTRL+A, or multi-select (etc), should have a right-click option to Un-Stack All. That way when we select all those modules again and hit "Fit to Active Ship", it does it all in one go.

Fittings Screen -> Browse Fittings -> Find Ship fitting -> Right Click -> Buy ALL modules @ nearest//cheapest//safest//less secure//on waypoint route

A suite of minigames, hell even tetris and snake and stuff, built into both the CQ and the ships (different games depending on racial/size/faction/etc?) to fill the time and get your fleet killed because you were distracted playing poker with your squad.

I loves you, EVE.

This

Or alternatively, right click a stack of modules and 'Fit All to Ship'. Useful when you have 8 weapons and 3 damage mods to fit.

Also......


Allow us to stack items in nearly-full corp hangars / drone bays / etc without needing to remove the item. Right now if you put two 50mil m3 stacks in a 100mil m3 bay and hit 'stack all' it tells you there's not enough space. This is dumb.

We should really be able to tractor all wrecks outside hi-sec - I mean who cares about the owner of a wreck out there?

Increase epic mission arc replayability by randomising the final faction loot item.

Right mouse click menu on an unlocked item in an unlocked station container should contain the 'Sell' menu item.

SO tired of accidentally leaving sentries behind and having to slowboat to them. Plus the humor of a jokedomi fitting five tractors and hauling its sentry flight around behind it is just inexplicably hilarious...
