Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Mooring camping, the new station/gate camping thing.
There are so many flaws with mooring capabilities:

- bumping
- WHY? would you moor if you can just cloak/log off as its safer? who in their right mind would risk the shiploss vs logging of in an alt
- bubble 1 spot vs hving the intire pos shield to find an exit?
- limited player use... so groupplay is getting hit in the nuts


and ofcourse:
- no more "ran out of fuel" pos piniatas??

Mooring would give to supercapitals a total new flavor. Along with it there should be something that prevents the ship from disappearing when the pilots logs off. Still, inside the Mooring range it would be safe.

So I guess in essence, the POS shields will be gone and any ship, friend or foe will be capable of flying around the moored ships, just waiting for that moment when someone undocks so they can point them, light a cyno and call in a fleet to kill it.

Please tell me that idiotic idea isn't going out into testing? What's wrong with POS shields that kept ships withou a password out?

There is a golden opportunity here... with these fresh new structures, means fresh new code,,, the opportunity to do mindblowing things... The thing that will bring EVE even more firmly into the next decade...

With the Citadel especially... 'gasp' what's this... the door to my captain's quarters has been unlocked...I can walk out of this prison to perhaps actually speak in the flesh to NPCs to give me missions, and even other capsuleers belonging to my corp/alliance. I can even change my former 'prison' to look differently with trinkets/loot/trophy's gained that drops from certain missions/ even random chance drops from a player wreck.

A Citadel interior that can be configurable/modable via a toolkit interface that Directors get access to... ah to dream.

This will also allow us to rush to 'battle stations' to plug in and man the defenses of the Citadel.

IE. finally make EVE the definitive immersive online space opera. We've got the space battles down pat, but the rest...

Yes.



Slow down there boi, you'll need to purchase two additional unrelated separate generic Sci-Fi games for that feature set.

Yeah watchlists are one of those things that people refuse to get rid of. The only decent reason I've heard for keeping them is "smaller nullsec groups can keep track of Goonswarm Supers", but the fact that the inverse is true and works a lot better against their forces doesn't change their opinion. And see them or not, they'll still roflstomp ya.

I have a series of proposals (link in my signature) if you want to contribute to the discussion or put forth your own ideas in that thread, be my guest. Removing watchlists was one of the proposals I put forth.

On point three: multiple undock points could be interesting.

There are some other post about Rorqual having to go to an on grid boost, Well that would kill all Rorquals there is no way any would survive that (Yes the PvPers and gankers would love to see this happen) but not a single miner would like to see this happen and not many would do it. the only ones that could do it are the ones with enough PvP protection from fellow Corp mates and even then the risk is still too great because you would find yourself surrounded by Caps of all types and then your protection would have to be ready to fight those off and risk their Caps, but then they would say the Rorqual is only worth 2 billion so it is not worth it.
On Grid Rorqual boosting would be the Death of the Rorqual. Those that do risk it will only get away with it for a short time before they see a hot drop.

I don't mind introducing some short period of time of vulnerability (it is there already while i undock from a station or warping to it to dock up) while the ship gets ready to do it boosting. Once in siege mode it should be safe (yes it can be bumped out of safety now lets just get ride of that).

CCP if you want to make sure the Capsuleer as not stepped away from they keyboard or minimized the window and is not paying attention? Then lets add in a are you still there thing and if not answered then the moring gets discontinued. Maybe Moring cost Stront and it only takes from the fuel bay (currently Heavy Water usage by Industrial Core can come from the Cargo Bay) . I am sure we can come up with something reasonable.

Well since super carriers would be scaled down tou could use thrm niw in wh space.... and remember out there you see blinged out dreads snd carriers snyways...

So there would be a market for the expensive mods... tge only reason tge ships are fit so expensive is because they are not expected to die... this is bad design... if ccp doesn't remove the super frim super caps then nothing substantial will change.

Perhaps a modify the D-scan so that it give slightly less info. Still have the ships show up but list them as just that "ships" the categorize them as to whether they are powered up (someone is in them) or powered down (moored). As you get closer you get progressively more info based on skill, distance, and beam angle. Breakdown being something like: ships, powered up/down, ship class, faction, and then finally type. The final full on info could read something like "Powered - Gallente - Dreanaught - 50Mk"

Gives both less and more information.
