Player Features and Ideas Discussion

How about a couple new missions where all wrecks must be salvaged for completion or maybe bonus?

(for forensic analysis of hull prodiver etc)

I am sure that for lvl 3-4 mission many grinders would consider contracting out the salvage portion if the actual wrecks need not be turned in & there was a room or two beyond to kill off. Or at least involve more corp mates in missions.


Yup I realize that tons of people will be offended by any change in EVE let alone a change that gives advantage to those who are more socialable. But lots of others might enjoy some variation. In any case such mission might be handled like the anomic mission (free turn down) and be even more rare. Might also have chance to give rewards that old plain fare missions don't.

One possible difficulty or programming challenge that I see is that grinders will probably want a way to open at least one new mission with the same agent while waiting for someone else to salvage and complete a salvage completion mission. The cheat is of course to add a second agent at the same station. That is offer salvage mission only at stations with duplicate agents.

I can salvage your stuff w/out creating any engagement timers. Your idea would allow me to prevent you from completing your mission w/out you having any legal recourse. You would be left w/ needing to suicide gank the salvage swiper. This will never go over.

The trend in CCP programming is to soften up eve (See citadels, no loot drops and space magic item teleportation). They aren't about to add an easy obvious grief path in missions. You couldn't even war dec the offending player to get what you want. With free war assists it could quickly spin out of your control and you'd be fighting the glob of docking ring heros that call themselves merc if you tried a war dec as a way to settle the score.

The game is currently too fooked up to add something like this.

CCP statet at Eve Vegas (2015) that they are about to completly revamp pve in Eve, but it will take a while.

Perhaps we will hear more about it in a little more than 2 weeks when fanfest starts.
