Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I agree.
You can go to hospital , and loose every thing.
Outposts should be destroyable , but not NPC stations.
CCP might upgrade some of the outpost to NPC stations ( randomly 1 per 2-3 constellations , of course if someone constructed one) - this way we will get around 3 NPC stations in each region , so 3 alliances per region can have their capitol and keep most of their major assets there.
If you keep your assets elsewhere after this change - well this is your decision.

I don't like idea about assets destruction either - as this will make this game much more "work" than game at some point.
Yet i think we cannot do any thing more to change CCP mind , i prepared myself , by training 4 JDC V carrier chars and JF pilot.

Now wherever i move i take 4 carriers with ships , and JF with equipment - i really feel sorry for people without this possibility.
This is good move, but it should be made 10 years ago , now we have groups that will simply grind regions killing all stations just to have profit from those who cannot move their assets.

Proposed timers mechanic is shorter from bigger holidays.
"Oh you dared to go to grandparents for Christmas, we are SO SORRY , but look at this nice station wreck"

There are also groups that will just grid station after station for tears ( heh i might even help them ) but new players , and smaller groups will be very bad position.

Yes EVE will finally not become easier and easier game - and this is good , but how this will impact number of players - time will tell.

Idea: Escape pod containers. Similar to Station and freight containers, except when station is destroyed it will launch to planet's orbit.

I demand safety for all my stuff in player owned null. CCP is obligated to protect the stuff my alliance can't/won't. There should be no risk in null to balance the greater rewards of this space.

It's my stuff.... NO ONE has the right to take my station stuff. I'm entitled to the protection of space magic for my assets in player owned null.

Just go and rely on the good old alternative to players

NPCs

Allow Blockade Runners to dock to enemy stations.

I share this opinion because you should have at least some places where you can leave your stuff and go on holidays or do something else for a while without the fear of loosing everything.

In case CCP decides in a different way then I propose that not only null sec/low sec stations can be blown up but also Highsec ones - with the same results for the poor ones who are hit by this "accident". Being forced to move out their goods, loose stuff, collecting floating cans and so on. And then I really would just sit around laughing about the ones who up voted this idea when Jita IV is blown up in the next "burn Jita" event.

For XL structures only:

• If another XL structure exists in the system, move all assets into hangars in that stucture (the nearest or ranom one, same for all inhabitants, if multiple)
• If no XL structure exists in the system, spawn a debris cloud (permanent celestial "wreck"). If a debris cloud already exists, add all the items to that one, only accessable by their owner. A debris cloud would allow cargo removal, Jettison, Launch Ship, Board, Destroy on items within
• If an XL structure is built in a system with a debris cloud, give each individual/corp a button which would allow them to move all their assets from the debris cloud into the new XL structure
• Allow pilots to approach a hostile XL structure, hack it and access their hangar if successful (remove only / launch / jettison / board)
• If industry/science jobs are in progress at an XL structure when it is destroyed, put the BPO with the owners' assets safely and run a drop chance for all materials/datacores for the killers. If there are undelivered jobs waiting, run the drop chance on the finished products instead.

Every station could have Emergency Automated Recoverable Storage (EARS). These would need to be purchased by the controlling alliance, and would be outwardly visible to anyone looking at the station. In the event of the destruction of the station, the EARS would detach and jump away, regardless of interdiction. The destination of the EARS would be determined by the owner of the station, be it another nearby station owned by the Alliance, or an NPC station of their choice. You could even choose to set the destination to a highsec station, if you have enough fuel.

To be fully effective, two EARS would need to be purchased for each station. One of the EARS would recover all assets stored inside personal hangars within that station, and the other would recover all assets stored within corporate hangars. Each of the EARS would have a fuel bay, and would need to be filled with appropriate fuels based on the model of EARS chosen (all EARS are different). The amount of fuel required would be based on how far away the destination station is. If insufficient fuel is provided, the EARS fail to jump to their destination, and are able to be freely looted by anyone in the area (more than likely the attacker).

The EARS themselves would be fairly expensive to produce (1-2bn each), and the fuel costs would be immense, but the safety provided to the assets could be invaluable!

Poses are broken for lots of reasons, but "my stuff isn't 100% immune" is not one of them.

POSes don't have unfinite personal hangar volumes, nor do they provide what space there is in a leisurely manner.

You know how it goes: Dock... Don't deposit anything this time... Dock again... Yeah, I'll leave it here... Dock... Tritanium by Tritanium and you have enough to be worried about.



Well, the point is the new structures are an inverse of that - you can dock in them now.
