Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

If all CCP is interested in is quantity of interactions (as some kind of metric necessary to achieve X goal, or prove Y status to Z investor), then this certainly will fit that bill.

It will also provide a metric to show, over time, how many players are pursuing this SP carrot.

Initial high response will, I predict, in short order lead to dramatic decline. Because quantity without quality of interactions is an empty experience.

We tell newbros to join corps, meet people, make connections -- so, why not tie this effort to that philosophy: not only does the Opportunity require you to talk to someone, but you should fleet with them and go pew pew rats!

Why not a breed of missions that require you to fleet with at least one other person? And do so for at least an hour? (And yes, you can hack this with alts, but really, for amount of effort and time, that's a bit of an edge case.)

From a lore standpoint, SP should not be generated out of thin air. Rather, it could come as a reward for team work -- which, by the way, the Empires can use as a way to drive capsuleer loyalty to them. Thus SP would not be all-purpose, but specific. Caldari Team Missions would award SP for Caldari ships, or missiles. Amarr Team Missions, for Amarr Ships and Fedos ;)

Additionally, these SP payouts could be cumulative, not awarded at the end of every mission. Rather, hand out the total at the end of 5 or 10 missions.

Making sure that the SP is focused will help newbros who often struggle with knowing what to pursue skill wise, and attaching the SP to team-based activity will drive engagement and longer-term subscribers.

So many strawmen in this thread and the salt! We need T2 Salt Miners right away.

I like it, it means you have to undock or leave your POS but i like it none the less.

Yay WoW dailies

So
10 000 x 365 = 3 650 000 SP for free.
Will other acitvites will stack with other, for example kill one npc with hacking?

Your meta 4 memes aren't funny

Rise, you need to remember just how many characters (since this is on a per-character basis) contribute significantly to EVE's universe without ever having reason to shoot at NPCs. Station traders, freighter pilots, scan alts, industrialists, etc. would all have to go do something outside their normal routine. Forcing people to do something with their characters that the character isn't really intended, trained, or located for or progress their skill training slower as a consequence is not good design.

Making it once per account, with each character (or each actively training character) getting that 10k would be better if you're really intent on something of this nature. Activity in EVE and making the game's universe alive goes so far beyond killing rats that creating incentive for them to do that specifically is absurd. Don't try to roll this out early, wait until you have a better measure of 'activity' that eve players from all professions can participate in.

not opposed to this, but undocking and killing a random NPC isn't terribly exciting.

i'd rather have rewards for people doing things they don't do everyday or feel slightly uncomfortable doing

Yes, the dedicated subgroup of null space multi-account SP farmers will probably commit to getting dailies religiously, but it can put their attribute implant husks at risk as they have to undock them to get an NPC kill. If CCP prevents people from injecting skills remotely, then those null space skill farmers may have to risk bringing shipments to empire markets.

Please no dailies. They suck the will to log in out of you.

And these definitely don't sound voluntary with additional 300k SP / month they give.

This is not a feature for EVE.
