Never too late to learn! Good job! Mining achieved!

^^ This.

The opportunities system looks good on Singularity. I haven't gone all the way through it, but the 2/3 or so that I've seen, I like.

You naughty, naughty people don't remind new players to bookmark the wormholes they jump through, so I predict lots of frigates piloted by lost newbies in Anoikis. But hey, it's content! It will probably make wormholes seem as much a scary frontier as they were meant to be.

I dont like the idea of opportunities being expanded further beyond the NPE, as that begins to suggest an expectation for players to achieve them.
EVE being a sandbox society should be a reflection of the player himself in the purest sense, without dev meddling. The achievement itself is its own reward; killing a titan should be remembered for the event and not as some tickbox item. EVE is built on the premise of player justice, and so rewards should also be something that players decide and create for themselves.

I'd be careful of too many quality of life and automating features because that is tantamount to taking jobs away from the player. Sure people feel good about not having to work as hard at first, but feelgood impulses are generally self destructive in the long run.

Along with resetting, also please add a feature to keep track of the number of times we've completed (mined: 14,205 asteroids), and set up an achievements page.

I'm still leaning toward small rewards for players completing "opportunities". I'm a firm believer at giving new players small sums of skill points to apply to any given skill book he/she chooses. It would give them a sense of immediate accomplishment and a sense of character progression just starting out. And it would also be a quick way to learn about how SPs work in EvE versus XP in most other games.

If not SP then at least a little isk to go their way. WHy? Simple: how many people in EVE would mine if it wasn't rewarding? How many people would engage in missions if it wasn't rewarding? The list can go on... driving force behind pve isn't just "content" but also the rewards tied to that activity.

Time for some fun in the sun by the pool,
Cheers

Its better than sitting in a 1.0 system, staring blankly at the screen, wondering what to do next.

If ye retroactively give me any mining related achievements im going to get up set with ye.

that aside im actually looking forward to seeing these ,
will make posting in ncq&a easier once i actually know what the hell the nubies are talking about.

As a long-term suggestion, I would basically tie the opportunity groups to the activity groups that corp advertisements use. And allow corporations to see the completed opportunities of applicants.

I like it. It just adds a way to track progress in new ways and may encourage people to move outside of their comfort zone to achieve new things. As long as it's not tied to non-cosmetic rewards, it does no harm either. So I'm all for it.

ohhhh, can one of them be " steal someone else's mission item " !
