EVE General Discussion

Zing!

Please list this " a lot of content " that will ultimately benefit FiS.....even just a sampling would do.

I'm not disagreeing with your post, but why did you try to unjam a printer cartridge with your face?

Smuggling for example, not via a market interface but with people having to meet in person in station bars, with the FiS part of players working as freelance space police to intercept these smugglers.

A corporation war room where tactical information from corp and alliance POS and fleets is compiled into one strategic map.

Missions with dynamic content, that sometimes may require players to meet NPCs in a station.

Also don't forget about the roleplay aspect. SWG had extrensive options for player housing and RP content, that is player generated and not pre-scripted.

Hmm, and I've heard that the MMO part of Mass Effect was a bit lacking.

I also heard bioware has this incredibly fat yaoi fangirl on the writing staff that hates gaming, and it's the reason every bioware game has some homosexual character trying to stick it in you throughout the dialogue.

So smuggling would be walking (because you can't run) from one CQ to another CQ while somebody roleplaying as a "freelance space police" would walk behind you (and maybe use a super cool emote like /handcuff)?

A corporation war room where tactical information is compiled sounds an awful lot like alliance and corp forums that people already use. Or maybe you meant a bigger version of a CQ where members of a corp or alliance can get together to compare their $100 space pants?

And your missions...how are they different from current missions other than the fact that you will have to go through the hassle of leaving your ship and walking (slowly) to an agent?

Walking to a dark part of a station, or perhaps a seedy player run bar, to meet with a new type of agent... an investigative agent. You can't contact him via normal coms due to the highly illegal, privacy invasive nature of the information he provides.

For a fee he/she can tell you most anything you want to know about an individual, for as far back as you can afford. They can tell you when the subject has logged on and logged off, where they went, whether they stay docked all the time or not perhaps even who they speak with or do business with. Far more information is provided than by your standard locator agent. How much are you willing to spend?

Perhaps a new bounty system comes into place, where bounty contracts are offered and can only be accepted by pilots with the appropriate skills and licenses. Such an agent would be vital for them to decide if a bounty is worth considering going after. You really need to know if the target ever undocks before you accept that contract. Because you are licensed and have accepted a contract you can kill that person any time, any where, without Concord intervention... but they are of limited duration and you can only accept one at a time.

Perhaps you just want to keep track of an enemy's key cap ship pilots, or freighter pilots, or even your own CEO...

Concord has really stepped up their effort to curb smuggling all types of contraband, including the more powerful boosters, and the prices for them have gone through the roof. Fortunately, the pirate factions have pooled their technology and provided a solution.

You can't buy them on the market, and the contract system won't accept them for legal reasons, but if you know where to find the right guy and he agrees to a face to face meeting, there are some new cargo containers available that make smuggling a walk in the park. Hideously expensive and difficult to find, they make it virtually impossible to scan the contents... instead registering as empty to a ship scanner.

Of course, if you want to sell the contraband that you successfully smuggle into empire space, you have to do that off the radar as well and the security systems in hanger bays have been monitoring trades lately...

Your alliance is involved in repelling an effort to take a key system from you by a long standing enemy. The battle is huge, and when you count forces blockading the surrounding systems and the sheer volume of pilots trying to relay timely information on enemy movements and attacks, you have a tactical nightmare on your hands commanding your fleets movements to respond quickly enough to a variety of threats.

Fortunately your Outpost is equipped with a command and control center, which you and your fleet commanders hurriedly report to. In a large 3D holographic display suspended above the central table you see a detailed tactical map of not only the target system, but the surrounding systems. Where ever you have eyes (a pilot designated as a scout or in a command position) you are provided with a real time display of what forces (both friendly and hostile) are on grid with him, along with key information like affiliation, numbers, ship types, direction of travel, speed, range, and whether they are firing or not. As your scouts reach their designated area's the flow of the entire battle becomes readily apparent to you without the necessity of tying up voice coms or waiting for chat to relay all of this information.

Of course you have an advanced interface that allows you to give orders, either via preset commands or verbally to any subset of pilots you need to speak to specifically, from your birds eye view of the battle... a view that your counter parts in the enemy fleet do not have access to as they do not have an Outpost with a command and control center in range.

You can get a lap dance from a hot gallante pole dancer. Lol
