Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I would likto suggest som ideas to pay for with plex

For example:

Reset security status: 1plex
Remove corp history: 2plex
Reset skillpoints with a loss of 10% of skillpoints because of the surgery: 2 plex
Name change: 1 plex
Gender change 1 plex for female 2 male and 2 plexes for male 2 female. (nice bewbs are expensive)

sec status fixed easier with smart ratting. 1 BS per system, leave for at least 15 minutes. Run in a nice cycle of system to make it convenient.

corp history is a part of the char. Corps have more concerns about a fresh char with no history than a 4 year goon veteran. They at least know the goon should be able to fight. 1 year fresh char is either a chance on a tard who can't learn pvp....or pvp's too well and now they have to guess spy or guy is just really good.

sp's......like tons of these in recent days, tried too hard here.

name is your chars history. If you corp thefted trillions of isk or desolved a whole alliance ninjya style, should be proud of that and show that name clearly lol. . Made your name under the influence of drugs or alcohol or stupidity....you had the next day or 2 to reroll wih minimal loss of training. Or you bought the char....if smart you should have haggled price due to a crap name lol.

why? avatar is now a small little picture in UI so its not like it matters. Fly more, WIS less (or switch to hangar view mode and spin ships...looks better than CQ imo).

For one thing, plex is cheap for some players. I could easily afford to buy the plex to do all these things on all my toons, giving me a massive advantage over other players. Suddenly red alliance can't tell I've been in cascade, I fly all of their doctrine ships perfectly and I have a positive sec status despite taking a brief hiatus to smartbomb mining fleets in high sec for the lulz.

This is not a good thing. Not for other players anyway.

Ummmm...no:

1) This can already be done through intelligent "chaining" of a decent NPC-zerosec pocket (I got my main up from ca. -8.00 to -1.90 in the last several days--grating and time-consuming, but not difficult if you're smart about it, and actually made some money instead of spent it.). Security-status is a crap mechanic for a variety of reasons, but this is easily "serviceable," why change it?

2) No: People should have the right to infil/ninja-heist corps/alliances, but the consequences of being "outed" eventually must stay with them to balance that right.

3) Not just no, but **** no! This is pure pay-to-win, and an abomination that runs counter to everything EVE is supposed to be regarding character development, and more importantly player-development.

4) Not necessary--you can already petition to have your name changed--of course, wether the GMs allow it is another matter entirely, but the ability is already there, at least theoretically, and costs no additional real money.

5) OK, I could get behind this, maybe...I would like to change my main now that Minmatar/Siebestor males no longer look like pointy-headed/meth-addicted vampire-freaks...But then, I like how she looks in Minimas (Minimae?), sooooo.......

I think that whole anti-name-change policy stopped making any sense the time after they legalized character trading. Same goes for corp history. Everyone buys/sells characters nowdays so corp history doesnt fulfill any, but cosmetic role atm.

In other hand, reseting SS is bad idea (even less consequences of suicide ganking)

Full SP reset is also bad idea, I would prefer limited SP relocation - https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=69170

Gender change, why not. It just doesnt matter lol.

I think the issue with name changes is that the character is now no longer associated with it's history. This would result in situations like looking at a toons employment history and seeing it's been in your corp before, but you don't recognize the name. Beyond the obvious database issues that might arise it does destroy what little unique value characters have left, not to mention the effect it would have on third party killboards.

It also means I'd be able to use a character to rip off an alliance and then just pay a bil or w/e to rename it. You may believe corp history fills no real roles, but as someone that has had to do security checks on applicants in the past I can assure you it does in some alliances.

SP relocation can GTFO.

Gender change I'm not too bothered about, again removes some unique elements from a character but meh, I rarely even notice if a toons male/female anyway.
