Back this week, after I balked at the high prices of skill injectors in their 1st release week back in...was it..February? Or March?

Changes...minor, but have new content to play around with..
1. A 5th capsuleer race..with their own backstory and stuff..
2. Or...a new pirate faction...
^new ships

3. New weapon systems..put simply, we only have missiles, lasers, smart, and bullet based weapons..and big thingys on titans..and automated spacecraft and drones..
^new type of weapon...more variety...
--A. melee based attachments onto the outside of your ship to make ramming against opposing ships more viable.
--B. Or a deflection field to bounce projectiles from your ship. It uses capacitor and you only get one max, per ship..and they get deflected into random directions? It just feels like reflecting opponents damage back to them may be too unbalanced?..

4.what else?..uh.....remove all npc stations in null and low sec and remove all the ones in high sec except for the starting stations and Jita. This will encourage people to get a citadel.
Let's make Eve online GREAT AGAIN...by lowering the absurdly high price of skill injectors.

1. You mean a 6th race.
We already got: Amarr Empire, Minmatar Republic, Caldari State, Gallente Federation and the Jovians.
- Side topic: We don't need new ships unless you can explain in high detail exactly why we do need them.

3. Oh boy, that made me laugh. Explaining why would take the fun out of it.

4. What else exactly? Well, you're out of your goddamn mind. "Encourage people to get a Citadel" Have you seen on Eve-central how damn expensive they are? That is a shitlode of isk even for the average EVE player.

The price of Skill injectors is not up to CCP, it is up to us.

Overall, I don't know what the hell I just read.

Actually seventh thanks to sleepers, or even eighth if you count rogue drones (some are sentient after all, so they could technically be a race)

This is a signature.

It has a 25m signature.

No it's not a cosmic signature.

Probably.

Btw my corp's recruiting.

I wouldn't mind seeing an armor tanked missile race. Maybe find a way to add Ammatar as a not so pirate pirate faction.

sleepers are drones of nap time jove and being a bit smart does not make you race just another gallente mistake

But wouldn't the fact of them being sentient in itself cause them to cease to be objects and to become... beings? What makes us a race, all we are are bags of chemicals that happen to have an ultra complex system of neurons which allow support of concious, aka sentient, thought.

I have just returned from Forbidden Forest... Unicorns ftw!

easy you can barley call the fat bags who mad them a race and anything they make hardly deserves any recognition

I'd rather see something like the Terrans somehow reopening the Eve Gate, maybe by accident, after a long Foundation Series like civilization collapse where they are still trying to rebuild things and are not ready yet to compete with the Eve Cluster as a whole but can threaten individual exiting empires.

That could open up all kinds of new tech, old tech discovery, and a new cluster to explore if they still expanded for thousands of years after the Eve Gate closed but before their Foundation like collapse.

It could be very interesting and only limited by the imagination and well, Dev time.

Maybe after the current roadmap is more complete and we are able to create our own star gates in new unexplored systems as seemed to be hinted at times.

I'd like to be a Rogue Drone. I've always liked their funny little arms.
