If you want to tie SP to actually logging and/or being active in game, do not tie it into any particular action in the game. Tie it to logging in and/or being active (either undocking or doing stuff for some time in the station services system).

I really don't feel SP for killing/shooting stuff fits well into EVE.

I like this...

Trying to keep up with this thread but it is moving fast.

1) sp from nowhere? nah bro. It is not from no where, tons of it is being 'lost' when people inject in higher level characters. Think of it as sp sinks and faucets.

2) yes, this is a patently obvious mechanism to make people log on and maybe even play the game. How dare CCP manipulate us like that?

3) I like a flat rate, not something where the rich and powerful get more and the newbies get less.

4) 10k of sp is how much, converted into time?

5) I do expect to see rookie systems get a shade more crowded as they are places to find the 'easy and quick kills for npcs. Always there and paper thin

6) (last one) I disliked the sp injection because it made sp a commodity. This is a logical extension of that change of concept. I don't like it but it IS a logical step

I'm not a fan of this.. EVE is a sandbox and that Means we want as Little interferring with 'gifts' and 'dailies' EVE is made to be different than all other games out there! EVE is a Unique game we'd like it to stay that way.
I'm worried.. First SP injectors and now this? What will the next be?

You can atleast reduce it to 5k SP each time or make it account wide so the alts doesn't just farm SP for the main and make it reset at downtime like rest of the game :)

Can my titan pilot get XP for sticking part of the ship outside the POS shields every day?

First I thought NO!
I am at EVE Online since release (with some breaks) and I like the game because it is not that mainstream like many others.
My second thought was that CCP need to do something to be still interesting. Even CCP can't live only with fans. The injectors and this idea with the dailies makes EVE Online more insteresting for casual gamers. Those players who grew up with WoW, Aion etc. won't play EVE Online only because there are dailies.
I know a lot of these gamers and they say they don't like this type of gameplay because they don't get advises (kill this npc, collect this ore...).

Injectors and dailies are a good option for newer player to get better ships faster which makes the game more interesting for those player (and in case of the injectors it is a good way to make money ).


Nobody is forced to log in. It is an on top and this feeling is just your very own. If you feel like this you might think about your prefs.

So this is WOW now?

Not a fan of SP rewards by completion of tasks.

One of the things I enjoyed about EVE Online was it wasn't a game about grinding to get ahead of others (like every other MMO I played) players who didn't have the time to log in every single day were always on the same footing (in SP terms) as everyone else.
I know there were/are already ways around this with buying characters and now skill injectors.

If people want to have more SP then have them grind ISK and buy injectors, not by making this into a "power up by logging in every day" game.

As someone who has played many other MMO games I can also tell you that daily tasks is the most soul crushing and boring addition to any MMO. Yet we do them because they're needed for some reason, no one ever enjoys dalies.

Edit to add some more to this.

Right now this is a very simple task, log in kill one NPC and get reward. However this is how the slope starts, as more dailies are added and with rewards not obtainable anywhere else and much in desire (like SP) you "have" to do them, it's part of our mentality to do them.

So you have your five minuet kill a rat daily, then comes the 5min mine some ore daily, then the 5-20min get a PvP kill daily... Eventually you end up with the same system every MMO has. Players are logging in and spending their first hour or two of game play doing dailies. Not because they enjoy the content, but because they "have to" if they want the best rewards.

EVE Online is meant to be a sandbox game, you're meant to log in and do something you want, to make your own content and rewards. Adding daily quests alone would be fine, however making it the only way to earn extra SP each day is forcing players to do them. That's where this breaks EVE for me.

Honestly this whole idea is something I literally (and I mean the real use of the word) thought I see CCP come up with. It's not anything at all of what EVE is about.

I guess EVE is evolving with the times, however I'm not sure I like what it's becoming.

This is the slightly more palatable alternative...

Is this a joke?

You are going to break the game. Do you imagine how many people would unsubscribe after that change?
