EVE General Discussion

Ichoro Hinalairos - I would like to run a mission for him and show him my important surveillance data that is now way out of date.

Become a bounty hunter and track down the people who killed my first ship. I put a bounty on them and then realized how the bounty system actually worked.

Wanted to have my alt aid the Sansha in their invasion of high sec (he runs missions for them in Stain), but I have 0 clue how to get involved and how to do so in a way that will not get me killed by concord for attempting to doing so.

Wanted to meet a Jovian somewhere aside from the forums.

Wanted to have a reason to buy a Sin.

I've wanted to take parts in live events but I thought Aurora was disbanded years ago after some whole scandal kerfuffle.

To answer your initial question -

To run a Freetrade port in Null Sec and create a null sec corner that offers the opportunity for the trader, the entrepreneur to lash out and explore - not for the "good" of everyone, but to enable the perspective that in EVE you can dominate your space and yet not exclude everyone from using it.


Close your eyes and imagine Han Solo, Imagine Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly), Imagine Privateer - the entrepreneur in the face of the immense, yet surviving, sometimes thriving briefly - not about wealth and riches, but about making your way against the odds.

I want to facilitate that - and for that to work you need to find a place that is difficult to make your own, but yet just barely open and welcoming enough to appeal to you.



I think EVE Is getting too rich and wealthy in many ways - the glory of battle requires cold hard cash and the financially outstanding require assets beyond imagination - but for the average player - gameplay that facilitates the "low key" player who can make some ISK and get by and still have fun and glory should still be there - and it's a challenging thing to not have to strive for riches in EVE to fund your endeavors.


We all want to be successful, but that's defined in different ways to many - not all want the stress of wealth and riches - they want the chance to explore through their tenacity.

I wanted to build a corporation where everyone would have some important/meaningfull role without a fear that some day some other member had cancelled all their industry jobs, stolen their ships from pos hangar, emptyed corp wallets and hangar.

Then I realized that only way to do this is not to hand out any important/meaningfull roles and not to even try recruiting.

Current corporation roles/configuration options are very limited and support mainly corporation model where few guys run the corporation and remaining players will be ants forever. Even in this case some inside guy will eventually bail and collect everything corp has as his retirement fund.

If you want to improve new player experience and keep more people in game after trial is over, you gotta work with the most important thing in this game. That is obviously the corporation system as a whole.

I could take 20 noobs and keep them busy for next year if I knew that none of them will clear my wallet if I give them anything more interesting to do than drilling a rock or salvaging a mission. Obviously this isn't as big problem on pvp side, but posses and storing ships are still good examples.

In industry side there is plenty to fix from renting pos labs to multi layer corp lab access rights. There should be daily/monthly limits in corp wallet access rights and plenty of more corp hangars/configuration options to them. For example "can store and take only own items"-option and "can take only X items/day". Traders shouln't be able to collect all the corp deliveries without special permission. They should be able to pick only their own corp purchases if they had permission to purchace in 1st place. Default should be only to sell for corp.

More roles, more permissions... generally this means that every job can be divided to many small jobs and distributed to many players. This gives important job to everyone and people feel that they are important part of the corporation. That gives totally different experiment than some ceo going "we have mining op every day - how long before you think this game is boring? - wee!".

I'm sure that some ceo living daily in null could give you at least same amount of feedback about stuff that they wanted to change in pos maintaince, jump bridge maintaince and god knows where... however I'm sure you got the idea.

^^most important thing in EvE atm - IMO

1) Yeah I wouldnt mind my own little home. It should be reasonable secure. Perhaps is just a personal POS but perhaps more?2) Small gang null sec. The NPC null sec perhaps allows/promotes this, but honestly never checked, as getting there is usually an issue.

Drug dealer: Making boosters and selling them in high-sec.

This is exactly what I did some time ago. Bought a small tower, a month worth of fuel, a SMA, a hangar and some guns. Took me about a week to find a C1. Cramped everything into a rigged hauler, set up the POS and started the fun. Of course, it is less profitable than grinding lvl 4's. But it's not about the profit, it is about having a good time playing a game. Does that mean I'm filthy rich? Erhm.....no. But Isk are ones and zero's on a computer to me, so I tend to be 'a bit' less careful about spending them than I would RL currency....

But back to the topic and the question asked:

I would love visiting all Landmarks in EvE just once, as much as I would love to visit every system there is in KS. (Yes I know it has been done before, but that's not the point.)
I would like to set up trade routes to low/null sec.
Going to low-sec and just pick a fight, win or lose doesn't really matter. (No, that doesn't mean floating in space and asking in local: 'please kill me...')
And probably a lot more I can't think of right now.

Yes, all those things are doable/possible, I just never have come around doing them. In the future, I promise myself, I will.....

In pen & paper RPGs we call this Onetruewayism.

You can simulate a fairly approximate wh experience for less than $15 - just lock yourself in the pantry for 22 hrs a day with a catering pack of snickers and a plastic bottle to pee in.

When i came back last time, i promised myself to try something new. So off to wormholes it was. It turned out ofcourse that wormholes are boring. The pve is just a big slow pain in the ass, while the pvp is just silly. Either you ganks someone doing anoms, or most likely you try to kill them at a wormhole, wich, if you ever take a trip into a wormhole, you will discover that is just pointless because once you start taking damage, you just jump trough and fly away.

And thats what you can do in a wormhole. theres nothing more.

So, i made a few alts to run missions, but thats boring too.

So i joined a 0.0 alliance, but after two fleet ops, one were i participated in killing a titan, i had to leave because i really dont get any joy from being in a fleet fight with 800 other people. Theres no tactic, just point and click on the target then wait.

So i left 0.0, and instantly felt i got my personality and freedom back. I was no longer a sheep.

I tried running cosmos missions, but it bored me.

I tried running cosmos sites, but it felt pointless

So now im playing civ 5

drop a titan in some lowsec frigate skirmish

just think about how ******* hilarious that would be.
