Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I love new capital escalations for nullsec, they provide so much fun - just a thought - maybe CCP could introduce similar mechanic for higsec anomalies and belts.

Of course it needs modifications, as killing a capital in higsec can be problematic - but is tempting to give small chance for this kind of escalation.

What i propose is creating new battleship NPC for escalations - bit harder to kill than normal nullsec battleship, but nothing on the burner level.
Ship itself should have higher bounty - around 5-10mil, and instead of doping materials, it will drop bigger number of meta modules.

People will chase them, and newbies will have a lot of fun.

Allowing small chance for getting a capital spawn in higsec will make things much more interesting, and many players will unite to kill this kind of NPC.

the damsel in distress for the umteenth billion time is still amazing uber gazilions and a few moor living nightmare reliving waking dreams be fine a single escalation for high sec don't spoil us.
my goodness must keep the damsel in distress for several moor umteen billion times with no variation or change and that illusive implant that drops one time a year
+1 I care not what you provide if its different than stale and forever the same
3.14 pie and there is not enuf isk for all the junk
please provide toilets and garbage cans with your isk sinks.

or how to make buy orders for -3.14 isk

Haha. Drugs.

No drifters are much harder enemy.
Idea is to create additional escalation to higsec belts and anomalies.
This BS can be killed by small and new player group.

high sec belt rat 7,000 isk
project discovery me 64,000 isk
time separation 13 years time to relevant depreciation
and point is ...

I like it long as it can destroy any afk mining ship in under 1 min

don't even need o bounty or loot just some belt spawn evil

also if your mining and it does spawn you warp away there is no fighting this thing with a 5x medium drones brick tanking in a procurer
it need be strong enoff to wreck that alt off doing his laundy.

any high sec escalation that is a deterrent to afk alt tab play I'm all for.

still afford that paper hulk 20 sec to bug out with say a rather long time to lock so if you are not sleeping you can survive
that's how I would do it and the 7,000 isk belt rats you may as well delete them they make no sense.

Sounds like a bog standard faction spawn. Slightly harder to kill, much nicer bounty and a chance of faction/deadpsace loot. You get them outside highsec.

Putting them in highsec will flood the markets with whatever is in their loot tables. I do hope you have a way to turn this into something that isn't yet another nerf to nullsec income?

On this note, the LP Stores could be a tad more accessable, they could be an huge sink if we ditch those tags.

Just make it an extra type of BS from the associated faction instead of a faction spawn. Pith Dominator for Guristas for example. Then it can have the regular BS loot table or none at all but with a bigger bounty and stats without breaking anything that already work like loot tables. It gives a different form of "cap escalation" to empire anoms without playing with the null loot table.

--> leave highsec and then you can try the new things

problem solved
