This is unironically a serious thread.

Here is exactly how to

Fix Nullsec:

-Every time someone is podded by a player in Nullsec, that player receives an ISK bounty minimally equivalent to the character's medical clone cost. This encourages war, roaming PVP and generally playing EVE instead of botting or not logging in. Very little money is gained from killing newbies, tens of millions are made from killing 6 year vets. There is no net ISK generation so it is impossible to kill yourself with an alt to make profit.
-Every ship destroyed by a player adds 20% of its insurance value to the player's bounty. Ships that are destroyed in nullsec shall have a 20% smaller insurance payout in order to avoid creating ISK (and because no insurance company would pay full insurance for war equipment destroyed in a war zone). Now go get revenge on that Elite PVPer that has been terrorizing your home system for weeks without dying; it pays.
-Player bounties and bounty upgrades shall be spread equally to all participants on a killmail/in the same fleet except those with blue standings or in fleet with the dead player.

Fix Cloaking:

-Make cloaks have a nonzero capacitor use and a cycle time. The capacitor use shall always put the ship in negative recharge, though capacitor rigs and modules such as rechargers, extenders and boosters will greatly enhance a ship's ability to stay cloaked for long periods of time. Cap stability will be a hardcored impossibility. There is no reason for a powerful module like a cloak to not use energy.
-Add a T3 cloak that is available for all ships. It behaves almost exactly like a Covops cloak (full speed, no targeting delay), but it is impossible to warp cloaked and somewhat expensive (100m isk). It has non-negligible CPU use (80 or 100 teraflops) and allows ships to take black ops bridges.

Fix supercaps and caps:
-Make pilots suffer horribly from dying after being entombed in their supercap for years. Supercap pilots may never eject of self destruct. Upon ship death, the pilot dies too; no pod ejects. When a pilot dies while piloting a supercap, the pilot suffers a temporary, soft form of wetgraving(read the chronicles) and his relevant supercap skill is reset to level 1. For example, losing a titan means that your Titan skill is back to 1. This is quite like T3 ships, but harsher. Supercap kills add no bounties to those who killed them, since they cannot be insured.
-Remove supercap EWAR immunity, replace it with arbitrarily high but finite numbers. For example, a titan should have 30 warp core strength and 100 sensor strength. Tracking disruptors and other ewar should have 5% of their normal effect. Titans are not as rare as they were intended to be, so let us chip at them like whaling sailors. Let 20 falcons jam a titan, let 30 tacklers prevent one from warping. In exchange, let remote assistance affect them at 5% of regular effectiveness. Supercap pilots, you know this is only fair.
-Make the Minmatar dreadnought a pure projectile ship. Remove its missile hardpoints and replace them with turrets.
-Fix the Leviathan Replace its missile hardpoints with turret slots for railguns.
-Alternatively: just make citadels not suck

Fix certain subcaps:
-Add one midslot to all ships who currently only have one


Fix bubbles:
-It shall be made impossible to warp through a bubble, even if the beginning point of the warp is not inside the bubble and the end point is outside of the grid. The warping ship will stop at the bubble's edge.

Fix sniping:
-It shall be made impossible to warp directly at a target on the same grid through probing. Probes will only generate a signature that allows the prober (and his fleet) to warp to the target’s grid at a random range. There will be no effect if the target is on grid.

Fix industry, mining, hacking, etc:

-Rats shall drop no module loot. Upon salvaging a wreck, it shall generate salvage as normal, in addition to a new type of salvage, scrambled datacores. These datacores can then be decrypted (using the hacking skill) into meta 2,3,4 1-run BPCs. A hacking skill equivalent to the datacore's meta level is required to decrypt it.
These BPCs can be used to build named items when used in conjunction with relevant science and industry skills. They are locked at ME0 PE0. As a general rule of thumb, meta 2 requires skills at 2, meta 4 requires skills at 4. So, making a best named railgun would require Electromagnetic Physics 4, Mechanical Engineering 4, Science 4 and Industry 4. Scrambled datacores may also be turned in to a research agent for a small amount of normal research points towards a regular t2 datacore.
-Rogue Drones shall use the same new loot system as the normal rats, with a bias for drone-related modules. They may also drop scrambled datacores that decrypt into limited run T2 drone BPCs with perfect ME and PE.
-The only mineral drops from rats are the tritanium from salvaged Metal Scraps.
-Corpses may be salvaged by someone with a sufficient biology and science skill. They have a slight chance of dropping scrambled datacores that can be decrypted into implant BPCs for the implants who were in the corpses's head at the time of death. Creating the implants requires T2 components and relevant PI goods (Miniature electronics, wetware mainframe?)
-Boost module drop rates on player ship death, let Scrapmetal Reprocessing remain somewhat relevant. Also, lower Scrapmetal Reprocessing's training speed multiplier and prerequisites. Refund the SP difference.

Fix incursions:
-Implement my suggestion , Players should be allowed to join Sansha's Nation in faction warfare. Anyone who shoots a Sansha ship in an incursion system should be flagged as a valid target for the Sansha allies, who gain standings and LP for every enemy they kill.

I agree with most of those things except the "Rats shall drop no module loot".

You'll make them drop BPCs, and due to...well, CCP or something, it's awful to manage. Can't stack them, you have to go through the pain that it is to put those 100s BPCs you just got from your lvl 4 in the oven and all that.

I don't really know how to fix that.

I would add one thing to this tho.

Faction guns are expensive as fsck. Like, really. And it gives you a lower DPS than T2 weapons. They indeed have a lower CPU consumption, but it doesn't make up for the cost.

Either allow them to use T2 ammo and allow them to recieve the "specialisation" bonus, or multiply their droprate (For faction guns that drop from NPCs, but also for faction guns you can buy in LP stores) by 4.

Or go ahead and do both of these things. No one uses faction weapons for a reason. The only faction weapons I ever saw were on a Officier fit Golem, a Repfleet fitted Machariel and a CN Launcher on a 100MN Tengu cause a T2 wouldn't fit.

There is a reason to it. It's because the weapons have too many disavantages (Less DPS, and less usability due to not being able to use T2 ammunition. Also, it cost a fsckton to fit those 6/7/8 guns you need) and the only avantage you get is ridiculously small.

There is still a net isk gain over the current model the amount gained would be so small that it is hardly a motivator. In the words of TESTcursions, my ~isk/hour~.



This is functionally useless, an isk faucet, and imposes arbitrary penalties on 0.0. Also, while you might enjoy role-playing, it shouldn't be grounds for balance or game-play features.


Fix Cloaking:



I can't even begin to describe how dumb you are, or how much I hate you because of it. Hopefully the copy of this thread you (foolishly) posted to gf.com gets populated with the appropriate insults.

I'm not even going to comment on the rest, although I'm tempted to just quote it before you realize the error of your ways and edit your post to avoid ridicule.

Maybe next time post this **** on an alt and save us the embarrassment and yourself the inevitable flaming.

This has to be some kind of meta troll but he posted the same garbage on our forums. Stop trying to "fix" cloaking ugggghhhhh

ugggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You're all fools, only Goonswarm have the true answers to fix Eve!

*Vaurion Infara hemorrhages and dies

People do pvp, and lose stuff. If insurance was the barrier to pvp, you would never see tech 2 or tech 3 being used or lost. Which is not true.

The insurance idea could help with driving a reward for killing people (other then just gloating and eating tears), and the loss of a portion of a insurance payout is negligible to the cost of deployed a properly fitted ship and that most people worth salt have reimbursement programs, or can pay for themselves the difference. If they can't well time to stick to tech 1 frigs.

Allot of the ideas are though pretty bad.

I like the fuel bay idea better.



I could see a skill loss like blowing up in a T3. But no ejecting from the ship is too brutal.



Yes



Yes



This sounds annoying

Fix Eve.

Ban goonswarm.

^^THIS^^ The game is turning into a cesspool of asshats and they all seem to congeal in one spot. Not really all that suprising. There are some in every game...just seem to be a metrick **** ton more in EvE.
