Player Features and Ideas Discussion

DEDs are a limited, niche resource which depletes rapidly. Yes they can be extremely lucrative, and newer players can even participate by finding them, but they can't really fuel a large population due to their scarcity. The idea of this thread is to open Syndicate and NPC null to newer players as a multifaceted place that promotes interaction and content generation over the drudgery of HS. Plus, Vindicator prices are half of what they used to be - there really isn't as much cash in these as there used to be. This still doesn't account for the discrepancy between HS LP and NPC nullsec LP.

It's not just about affording a plex a month. Its about creating stuff unique to LP stores in Syndicate (or potentially another unique resource) that would spur the economy, give players of any age a consistent way to make money locally, and create market hubs in the area such that life isn't one huge logistical hassle. Think of the Barleguet of olde times, where a man could buy a Rifter, a Quafe, and 1000 rounds of EMP S, and use them all on the way home. This is what Syndicate could become.



I don't think anyone's asking for something insane. The ideas being put forth would be to make the LP stores better than HS ones, not so exploitable the entirety of New Eden descends upon Syndicate. I do not believe there is a rational argument of why HS should have better LP stores than NPC null. DED sites are pretty much what you described, as a few older players can deplete the entire Syndicate region of DED sites in about 90 minutes, and where does that leave newer players? While I agree that the best resources should be limited to promote conflict, the current paradigm is more of what you describe, where old people can do it so much bettter as to push everyone else out.

Who cares anymore, eve is dead.

I guess this will be noticed Soon™.

I don't think that threats work very well on people who are used to live with active volcanos next-door...

But i may be wrong, after all we talk about beer here.

It has come to my attention that it hasn't come to many people's attention that LP stores all over EVE should be reworked, especially and with priority for the existing lp stores of side-kick factions in hope of useful stuff in there.

Oh, and screw Tags.
Seriously.

This.

Fatigue limiter bpc 5 run- drug that will have 50% chance of halving your current fatigue level.
150mil isk + LP
You can only use 1 pill per 24h even when it will not bring any positive results.

Ready drug should cost around 100mill per use.

Will this be OP, and abused?
I don't think so, as random part of its application will block the "fleet" abuse.

If someone from some reason score the upper limit of fatigue - then this way he can try to fix it without needing to wait month or more before he will be able to jump.


Playing eve while drunk , could take your "jump drive license" for month after those changes!

How about Cosmic Anomalies in NPC controlled Null-Sec, where there's basically another NPC faction launching an assault on a site. Upon warpin, you land on an accel gate, with an agent of each of the contesting factions, and now you choose which one you help killing the other one. The survivor will be the side you go in for, and then sluaghter your way through the site, with potential deadspace / faction loot (fresh introduced modules for factions likle the thukker tribe, intaki syndicate etc).

When the site is done, it despawns, and some other npc-nullsec system gets an anom to fight for.
