Player Features and Ideas Discussion

1. Give ability, for paying customers, to change the Model of their ships and structures(i.e. citadels, etc.). I mentioned this before; should be a great way get some more income to support the game. They will select the ship and choose, in the menu, “Change Ship/Structure Model”.

2. In conjunction with the above, also give them the ability for weapon effects to choose from,when in omega state.(i.e. Colour of their weapon projectiles, also the effect when it impacts a target)

3. Those who support the game, by paying, should also get 5% or so bonuses to everything, including mining/manufacturing/ship weapons' damage/Ship defences/Ship support modules etc.

4. Open up the game more for people who want to purchase “ships”, “structures”, and “ train up to second to last skill levels” Permanently. These Individuals will not get the omega State, subscription bonuses, as mentioned above. (i.e. I would purchase all of my Caldari Ship Tree+All of the ORE mining Ship Tree+All the second to last Levels of all the skills). This allows an individual to use, on one character slot, everything from his/her faction permanently.
Note: Omega Subscriptions, will always have 100% of all the skills Levels and have more advantage.
Note: If the character is deleted by the individual, then the “Permanent status” is gone and have to be bought back once more.

Not empty quoting
Nope
Not even a little.

We get this already for pretty much most things. For example the various weapons spec skills will give you up to +10% over alphas.

I could see number 1 working if the ship models were alternate, unique models, rather than already exsisting ships, as someone seems to be assuming.

yeah except that it wont go to develop the game, it will go to develop other games that have would have no purpose as they wont interface with eve if they don't walk away half way through because "programming is hard"

True story, one of many of CCPs fail quotes for not wanting to do things, that was the reason for ending DUST 514

I want my permanent ships/structures to play with if I am going to pay REAL life money into a game like this. It has to be, from the company, at a fair price also, for me to consider it.

For those people saying that it will be abused...
Well, if some skills will be abused, with "Permanent Status" request[number 4 suggestion in the original post], then I suggest not giving whatever skills. The gaming community, like you individuals, can give in input to the company what skills should be taken out if "Permanent Status", to purchase the ship/structures(Clone's Faction's ships/weapons+ All ORE MINING ship tree+Citadel/Production).

I am willing to even just do that and get enough skills to train(level 3 I guess), just to use the Ships/Structures(I think it is level 3 before a person can unlock the other class of ships to use?). I will not get cloaking or other skills that can be abused to train. So name the skills, in this thread, that you think will break the game if you want.

As for the persons who mentioned "bumper sticker" and "Individual/Faction Banner" to place on the ships/citadels and such, I think that is a good idea. Other games do that,put decals on the vehicles, and people like it.

The skill (and therefore equipment) restrictions on Alphas are already extremely strict. There is no need for any such flat 5% stats bonus - which would in addition wreak havoc on a number of delicate balancing scenarios - to encourage people to sub.

1. No. SKINS are enough. They don't take too much time from art department and are lightweight for the game.

2. No. These effects are used in PVP to identify enemy ammo type. This is also kinda against EVE's goal to be serious scifi game.

3. You get much more than 5% from training skills that alfas can't max or even train. Alfas are **** enough already. No need for any extra.

4. No. Why? You can actually achieve this already:
-> Buy omega subscription
-> Buy as many PLEXes as you need from CCP and sell them in Jita
-> Buy skill injectors from Jita
-> Train skills you wanted with those injectors
-> Augment your head to max perception and whats left to willpower.
-> Buy +4 perception and willpower implants.
-> Start training filthy Gallente ships
-> Wait month
-> Buy skill extractors from Jita
-> Extract those filthy Gallente skills
-> Sell skill injectors in Jita
-> Buy PLEX with the ISK you got from injectors
-> Start training filthy Gallente ships again and repeat the last steps
You have now permanent omega clone with skills you wanted without need to pay subscription with real money. You will probably even make some extra ISK in the process if you don't lose your pod.
