Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Regional dominance Idea
Have each region have a dominance scale. The alliance in each region with highest dominance every hour gets the reaward.
Rewards should be high enough to encourage player to take part.
Basic idea is look at the map, each region will have new site spawn every 12 minutes (5 per hour). Old points, or uncaptured sites despawn.
In lowsec fleet of 5-10 should be required to complete site. Nullsec should be 25-50
A structure to kill at each site that doesnt shoot back. Just has really high regen so a dps break point is needed. Should scale based on ship class. So if you tried to solo in a carrier, you would not be able to break the regen.
When someone in the region kills structure, killmails for recent structures should be available to them. So you can deciede to reship or engage fleet running other sites.
Site should spawn in a way that draws fleets closer to each other.
Basic idea is to get more fleets out running around doing things together. Fleets will need to hurry from system to system so scouting and intell on other fleets will be harder and those that can preform well are rewarded.
Rewards should be two fold, a reward to the alliance and a reward to players taking part. Rewards for alliances should be some type of points system with very desirable rewards. For players isk and or lp.
This should be a week long event each month in every region. With neighboring regions on offset weeks so players can continue to press for dominance points in a different but close by region each week. So for example week one, sees pureblind, week two see tribute, week 3 sees vale of the silent and week 4 sees venal.

So you want CTA's for pve?



What payout are you looking at?


Lets have the 0.0 stuff need a 50 man fleet to run.

First how can you actually have it so its 50 man and not smaller crews min maxing with maybe logi support. Or you get say 20 people smashing this and the rest are their cyno alts to bulk up the numbers (if a hard coded number needed). Not far fetched...even I for my solo ratting took a 0.0 alts along if only to form a 2 person fleet to get the passive fleet bonuses off skills. And were scouts of the BS since not partial to dying on an new or unreported gate camp lol.

Second problem....your payout would have to exceed a legit 50 man fleet dropping the independent ratting to form up for the CTA.

Too low a payout and its why bother.

Problem is a payout this high...is a potential isk faucet. 50 people going this is better than my ratting....thats a fair amount of isk really.

Also CCP already tried this stuff. Incursions. Took off in empire, less so in low and 0.0 as I saw it. The bait of even the ultra rare super bp...does not lure them out in droves. With a really low drop rate chance....the gamble is not taken and its stick to good old fashioned grind in your usual spots. Or run an empire alt for the night and make that isk in empire incursions lol...

As others have said, regional dominance works in its own way already. Other than that you're just describing incursions...

Yes. Sov is wholly unrewarding and a complete waste of time financially. That much of your post is spot on.

Moon goo is usually an alliance level asset, and if your alliance isn't using it to fund alliance level programs, I would suggest you find an alliance that does. It can be a personal asset, but generally since the alliance a whole defends it, usually the alliance as a whole benefits from it. Find the arrangement that works for you.

Maybe you should seek mercenary work if you want to be earning ISK as a team with your fleet. The game should, as much as possible, avoid scripting too much.

...because bashing an NPC structures isn't PVP?

And when fleet 1 is fifty nyx, fleet 1 wins every time, undisputed...

hey guys wasn't grinding structures great?? yeah i know how about now we do it with npc ones that just keep spawning
