Out of interest, for those saying they want to try Factional Warfare: What is it that you're looking for? The roleplay? the storyline involvement? The "casual" PVP? Which experience are you looking at the Factional Warfare system to fulfill?



I have been able to answer your question, Mr. Producer.


Please look below.

Claim your own slice of space?

I have felt for a long time that a more proportional reward for strength and co-operative play would tickle my fancy.

I started putting together a rant about "H-space" (which I still have somewhere) but haven't got around to posting to appropriate forum.

Essentially it starts as a low resource system invulnerable to external forces (Home) that you need to POS up.

You then need to add a mod to your POS to increase the systems diameter.

At each system diameter upgrade, higher quality resources are revealed but also more links to the outside world (as it were). It's a hybrid lowsec/WH type space.

The risk of owning such a system (and subsequent linked systems) escalates proportionally to the reward. Ship use is also restricted so cap blobbing (as an example) is impossible until you are greedy enough or strong enough to withstand them. if the enemy wants your space, he has to fight with the type of ship you are capable of flying.

You can also change the systems "upgrade level" to vex the enemy but that also reduces your resources. So you are "encouraged" to fight or lose recources though "cowardice".

Serious PvP, small fleet and across the board ship utilisation would be assured and strategic and political alliances could also be broken/formed by clever and simple "baby corps".

TL:DR >> H-space inhabitants can start small (and stay small) or they can ride the wind to full on ownership and it's inherent warfare. Gives EVERYONE a chance with escalating potential and risk.

PS: And the best part, my instincts suggest little in the way of game mechanic changes, new stuff or development costs.

PPS: Sorry for WoT. I meant to keep it short.

I'd love to live entirely out of a mobile base. It's doable with an orca or a carrier, but if we're talking ideal scenarios, I'd love a new capital ship dedicated to that purpose. Something like a mothership with the 2.5m ship bay and 50k corp hanger, but trade off the combat capabilities for being able to fit through the biggest wormholes. Maybe add on some other mobile base capabilities like being able to leave it cloaked when you eject so that a small corp doesn't need to dedicate a pilot full time to waiting with the gear when they do stuff. Another idea would be to allow pilots to actually dock in it and log off so that if the corp moves while they're offline, they aren't left behind.

Live events would be cool, as would incursions. I'd also like to try out wh's, but never got around to it. I own a few cap ships but never used them, so that might be neat.... except for the whole supper cap bs that makes my carriers and dreads useless. I'd really love a officer spawn. I've had multiple faction spawns (even in high sec), but never even seen an officer spawn. There is a lot of other stuff I've never really tried, like cosmos, mostly because the people I flew with weren't into that stuff and now all my peeps are gone.

When I think about it, I realize I've barely scratched the surface of all that Eve offers, but I also realize I've been playing since 2006 so it is my own fault mostly.

edit:
I also always wanted to be a goon for some strange reason.

I would like to have a button for turning off this damn INCARNIA crap please. I miss my old ship rotating view. This walking around crap is just that , CRAP! Smell like yesterdays Earth and Beyond(game) junk but updated. If I wanted this dress up stuff I would go play one of those dress up games like Fresta or Evercrap XXXXVII.

Give me a button to turn this junk off please. I am playing this game to have fun in space not do socal crap.

If you want a new idea do this; A unknown alien force has entered into the known galaxy and forces alll human races to join forces against this new threat . This will make valid reason for capital ships in normal space.

Done everything except Live Events.

How about employing some Aussie actors so we can actually participate in live events, like the rest of EVE.

OK, I know that's not gonna happen, but I have to try, yes?

Participate in the alliance tournament, or a similar event. Don't have the money and I don't want to join one of the big boys. Would be nice if there were other tournaments with a smaller entry barrier.

Exploration. Always wanted to go explore the unexplored. I've done some plexing in 0.0, but never solo and I've never done the actual scanning. Never bothered training the skills because I've heard the profits are meh. Unless you do low/nullsec combat sites which could mean ending up camped in a station for the rest of my limited amount of playtime that evening. Not very attractive.

Fly a dreadnaught. Problem is, they're practically useless for anything but shooting capships, which is a bit of a downer as I'm not really in to fleet slugfests. So I never trained the skills, and I have no intention of ever doing so.

Stop the spamming, not the scamming!

Live in a wormhole as a lone (or a small group of) nomad. At the moment the options are either doing a trip back and forth from ouside, anchoring a pos or getting a second account for an orca.

What I'd like to see is some sort of a way to have a feasible small base of operations that can store a few ships and some loot. Setting up a pos takes a few hours and the orca option needs a second account.


Like renting a U-Haul trailer full of ammo, ships and supplies and hitching it to your Raven?



Actually I like that idea...

I also would like more reasons for small fleet warfare (>30) lowsec gang are fun, but we aren't atually achieving anything other then gufites. Mittens, as much as I hate to plug something he suggested, did a good blog post over at TTH about changes to lowsec, the corruption system I think he called it. That, to me, sounded EXACTLY what i want my eve to be. Give the pirates something to do other then fight each other all the time.

And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell.
