EVE General Discussion

I was sitting in Rookie chat and a guy called Kwin Kenobi asked if the systems security rating could change and i'm thinking it could be a cool mechanic to the game.

I'm not sure if all of them could be changeble or how it could be changed, some idea are if its limited to a few systems.
new mission vendors to defend said system,depending on how many people do this or don't do this the rating changes.
Some kind of corp action or maybe the option for some pirate corps to try and take the system.

Anyway i'm really new to this game too and im not sure how any of this would fit into the law of the game but i'd like to here what you guys think and if you think this idea has merit how it could be implemented.

This could be something to tie in to fraction warfare to make it more interesting and have reasons for the battles. possibly have it so that the longer a fraction holds a system the security gradually gets better.

So.....just exactly HOW do you handle POS un- and re- anchoring when a .4 changes to a .5 ????????? And Empire standings are required....?

Don't get me started on POCO's changing from, what, InterBus to CONCORD ?? AND Private POCO's just, what, drop out of existence ?

(tiptoes away quietly....quickly.........................)

Good idea, Evo! I would like to see something like dropping security rating of system based on how many missions are finished (also how often) there, say like +0.00013% for every mission done. And if no mission is done in time window, say for example 2 hours, the system security rating would be lowered by -0.00013%. Basically something carebearish I'm talking about here.


To be more PVPish , I would say security dropping by only half of %s of what carebears can "gain" or "loose" by doing missions, exploring, PI ect., because I don't really want to see 500 Tornadoes in hi-sec system doing PVP silly stuff just to gain new null-low-sec system.


Just some ideas

The planets do orbit, but so does everything else, it's relative.

I've always liked this idea, well, my incarnation of it.

I'd have it so lvl 4 agents only live in 0.5, lvl 3 0.6-0.7, lvl 2 0.8-0.9 and lvl 1s in 1.0s

Then the more rats killed\missions done in a system the higher the sec status goes.
Once a system hit's the tipping point, the agent ups and leaves to where ever the next decent system is.

The faction warfare stuff would be aimed at systems 0.1-0.4 and wound be able to move the systems between factions so.
A system might start as an amarr 0.4 but the Caldari faction warfare would fight and take control forcing the sec status down to 0.1 as amar and then back up to 0.4 as caldari at which point a caldari lvl 5 agent would appear in system and when enough missions had been done it'd tick into a 0.5 caldari system.

There'd need to be a way of making systems lose sec status so that after x weeks we didn't end up with everywhere being highsec, maybe systems that aren't populated degrade of time or sommin... I donno... plan needs padding out.

There'd also need to be a number of start constelations that aren't affected so new players don't get rolled or whatever.

In all honesty, I like this idea most because it'd make the lvl4 mission runners have to move around rather than just sticking to the same system all the time.

No, his idea is only good if you can raise lowsec status up, it stays permanent (all highsec becomes 1.0 in time ), jump clones are removed leaving you stuck where you are (and med clone system removed, but you still loose SP ), AND CONCORD finds it offensive that if you are less then 0 sec status they pod you on site right after taking your ship. Then its a good idea.

Cause back in the day, when there was no sec status pretty much, and everybody went nilly playing with their willy shooting everything in site...obvious fail is obviously fail idea that you have HIGH RISK and ZERO CONSEQUENCES to your actions that you will just screw everyone over on site so they can't even undock and your gaming population stays low, because human's don't care to stick around when they got nothing to do. Incomes CONCORD and highsec = consequenctial actions, which is what we have to day. So the entire thread is moot

/thread

So the idea is'nt new and lots of people like the idea, if it can be implemented properly but that is a BIG if ?
I think personally I'd like to see corps/alliances battling for control most of all.
Wish i could bring more to my own thread but i dont know enought about the game to say something that hasnt been said by another more experianced player in this topic, all the replys so far have been very intresting to me though. :)

Well obviously lowsec stays lowsec, highsec stays highsec, and null remains null. The ratings could change within their bounds. (low fluctuates from .1 to .4, high from 1 to .5 and nullsec fluctuates from -.9 to -.1)
