Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Some bullet points about advertisement centers:
- Move space TV screens from large size category to medium size category.
- XL and L advertisement centers could offer warp-in location visible on overview.
- XL advertisement centers could be visible on map. They would have their own section that resembles DED agent site list.
- There could be service modules for XL and L advertisement centers that alter structure appearance.
- XL advertisement center could offer its own chat channel when you are docked inside station. Alternative would be limited range chat channel around structure.
- XL advertisement centers are more like roleplaying buildings where you can show your imaginary structures in universe (structure allows docking). L advertisement centers are more like monuments (no docking).

Comments are welcome for my bullet point ideas.

Ironic thing is that These structures stand to have way more impact on EVE than a lot of the others, yet this discussion is the smallest and no DEV replies after the very 1st....

I personally can't wait to erect a giant billboard with James' face on it on the Jita 4 - 4 undock and put up a statue of him in Halaima.

Having actual advertising buoys instead of named cans anchored on gates is something I really look forward too as well.

Some capsuleers have strong feelings about faction. They either hate or like certain faction. Sometimes capsuleer have strong feelings about other capsuleer. He/She either hates or likes other capsuleer. You can't make wardec to NPC factions and wardec is too big tool for capsuleer vs capsuleer disputes.

Space TV-screen would be excellent tool for showing hate/like to other capsuleer or faction. You could load capsuleer faces / faction logos to space tv-screen. This picture could alternatively have thick red cross X on picture. If you hate someone you load picture with X and if you like someone you load picture without X. This allows you to promote your favorite faction / capsuleer or show hate to faction / capsuleer.

Allow us to show like and hate in TV-screen. This works the same way as holding red sheet in front of bull and allows our opinions to be attacked in EVE.

Comments are welcome for my idea.

Ok slightly troll.... but just wanted to get across that i didnt think any bonuses should tobe too game changing More.... "look at how many things we've exploded"

(any visual effects should go a nasty green colour if corpses from the same alliance are added)

No. But you can give up your super carrier dps to get that as an on grid bonus.

Broadcast the o7 show on the advertisement centre. And if not a playable video in captain Quarters.

Lots of fairly interesting ideas within this thread. So in order to add to the madness, here are my 2 ISK. Admittedly a lot of what I wrote hear is a mish-mash of what was posted earlier within this thread. I did try to keep this as concise as possible, but only partially succeeded.

One of the key topics I kept seeing as I read through was an interest in exactly how the NPC security forces would work, along with a desire to know specifics on the system's security index changes would work. I think I've worked out a solid start on how to get quite a few of the ideas to work together.
Admin Structures: The structures would not allow the direct interference of any given system's security index. Instead, they woudl have an overall system wide security modifier that can be manipulated through the use of other mechanics.

1. One being personnel, agents attracted to them system would provide the biggest benefit for this. Another means would be through the use of the already in game personnel items. The "passengers" that are found randomly throughout EVE. Add a half dozen more types and you have yourself a legit work force. These workers can show up through manually importing them the old fashioned way, or on their own. (I will discuss this in my next post about advertisement structures.)

2. The presence of NPC security forces is another mechanic that would affect the system's security index.

a. As has posted in the dev blog about now named "Citadels" these structures have an "X" number of service slots available to them based on size. (Therefore, I am probably making a large assumption that the other structures will do the same to one extent or another.) Anyway, make a "Security Headquarters" service module specific to Admin Structures that can be placed into one of these service slots. Now based on the quality of the module and the size of the structure you get a CONCORD equivalent security force. The force's scope of protection could range from immediate vicinity to system wide. Upkeep could run similar to SOV upkeep.

b. The bigger the area of concern for your security team the higher the bonus to the security index. (System of progression could look something like this: station, moon, asteroid belts associated with station’s moon, planet, other moons of that planet, those moon’s asteroid belts, and finally the other planet formations in the system. Once all planets have a security presence their area of concern switch from individual areas to the system as a whole. Guarding and providing a police force for the corporation/alliance and their allies.

i. This would mean that while a nuet or red would not be attacked on sight, any “illegal” actions would be met with force as in high sec.
ii. In the case of SOV disputes the police for is temporarily suspended until the threat has ended, one way or another.
iii. If SOV is lost the gaining faction has a set window to reestablish lost facilities if they wish to maintain the modifiers to the system’s security index.
1. This can be maintained by a loss progression system where the longer they take the fewer beni’s remain.

3. Factions can also play a role in a system's security. If you are able to pull in 3 or more agents of a specific faction then that faction's presence in the system intensifies. This would have a twofold effect on the system, 1.) There is a minor boost to the system's security (This would be visualized by the presence of faction security ships appearing throughout their area of concern). 2.) The NPC/Rat faction would shift accordingly.

4. There was mention of wanting to lower the security standing of a system as well. This could be accomplished by a Pirate Faction version of the Security Headquarters module. In essence a Pirate Headquarters module, this would immediately change the Rat type of the system as well as have an adverse effect on a system's security index. Though in balance with being the only means to lower a system's security index the module's effects would have to be several factors above that of the standard module. Risk being that other than having a “less secure system”, pirates/rats would, though infrequently, spawn around the station in which their headquarters is located.

CCP probably needs more PLEX sinks, right?

Allow videos and images to be reviewed by CCP on space billboards. 1 PLEX per image review and 1 PLEX per 10 seconds of video (if you allow video). Then don't approve any videos

Consider this idea I put forth a couple months back. Some of you may have read this about 4 times already.

It's been proposed that structures like admin hubs could provide bonuses to things like mission running and mining. Instead of structures providing a set bonus, how about they leech bonus from a collective pool for each system?

Imagine for a moment that each system offers a 30% bonus to mission profits or mining through the deployment of structures. If one corp deploys the structure they receive the 30% bonus for that activity. If a second corp deploys the structure, each corp receives only a 15% bonus for that activity. Three structures, 10% each.

This would promote either cooperation between the corps (forming one larger corp) or competition between them (kill the other corp's structure to get your full bonus). Systems like Osmon and ice systems would be a proper warzone.

To prevent abuse we would add an industrial index to the equation. There are two ways to prevent abuse using that.
1) You need to have a certain amount of industrial activity in the system before you can deploy the structure.
or
2) The structures start with leeching 0% bonus from the system pool and only gain bonus through industrial activity.

The numbers are arbitrary of course but you get the picture. The idea is to have the presence of structures affect not only the deploying corp, but also the other corps that utilize the system. This creates conflict.
