EVE General Discussion

Id always wanted to solo a cap in a subcap, but thats not possible unless the other guy wants you to kill them.

Also wanted to shoot @ ccp for the lols

I for one would encourage you to do this because it is awesome. Maybe we can get bonus points of some other kind if we protect CCP Prism X.

And don't forget, if you do this every so often, it won't be a unique item. And I'm pretty sure you've been podded before, right (some story about your second day on the job)?

I wanted to try roam Drone space, made 3 jumps where I only found macros and then I got jumped by 2 Titans in my BC and died...

i always fells that i need a monocle, its the only reason that keeps me playing eve... monocles. I came to eve in 2006 because its monocles. I want to try put 2 monocles now... its gonna be so

I forgot one thing I think many people would love, Bounty Hunting as a viable career you could follow, even making corps focused on bounty hunting, I think it would be extremely fun.

Before EVE's release I read all the backstories of the races and chose Minmatar because of their nomadic ties, values and best looking ships. I planned to roam the space searching for stuff that no-one else had seen, returning to my tribe (corporation) to bring valuable rare items and intelligence on enemy movements and galactic happenings.

In beta and after release I realized it was not possible yet, that the space really was just a big nothing with only goals being acquiring wealth and expanding your corporations power.

A few years passed, I'll say here I've never played EVE in hardcore mode, by this I mean that I never played many hours every day. I've been a casual EVE-player, by strokes of luck I've been able acquire some wealth to my name but I pretty much suck in every aspect of the game even though I have great skills.

Anyhow, I always rooted for CCP and the backstory, and let's be honest there just ain't any other game that would offer such a way to immerse yourself. Not even today, where gaming has gone mostly to the opposite direction where it's about short thrills and quick kills. EVE is different.

So many years passed, I played EVE from time to time. Always staying true to my backstory, I've spent most of my EVE years in Masuat'aa Matari and the Ushra'khan until 2011. Because I liked EVE for its story but FW was impossible for alliances and after its release it did not shape the EVE story in any way. After this I came to realize the alliance life isn't for me as I haven't had time to acquire enough wealth and PvP skills so I departed, now I'm trying all the other aspects of EVE. I decided to try exploration. I could not see it worthwhile as in the end you always need to fight some NPCs, which is impossible (at least it seems so) when you're flying a exploration / cloaking ship.

So all I ever wanted to do was explore the world, make a silent impact, be mysterious. It has never been possible.

BUT I still play because I believe that if given the right care EVE can be THE GAME, where everything is possible from living in a station most of the time, to being the silent traveler to the end-all-be-all Alpha/Omega Alliance leader.

In the end what I want to do is irrelevant, what I want is a real working universe where the choices are almost endless! EVE is almost there it just needs to get back on the right track.

Here is what I would like to do in eve.
1. Walk in stations, not closets, I am a fan of the Incarna Idea, im not a fan of giving us one closet for all races and calling it an expansion. Its really pointless until I can interact with other people and sell them strippers and corpses.
2. Expansions with content, I know that there are alot of factors in giving content, and I am fine if you all switch to one expansion a year instead of two, as long as they are good. But the stuff we have gotten recently don't count as expansions they are patches.
3. I would love to go to nullsec and claim a small bit of SOV with some friends, but thats just silly as the leading alliance will drop Supaz on us. Im not mad at those who use this mechanic as it works, but 0.0 would benefit from more people, more pvp, although who knows it could mean more blues...I know that when you balance supers whatever the next big thing is will cause everyone to rage about, its like balancing moons, changing what moons drop what doesn't really matter if one large nullsec alliance owns both anyway...
4. Interestingly enough what about making sec status change in systems? For example a system no one rats in declines into lowsec over time, months at the most. However low sec that has rats and pirates killed raises its sec status so that it becomes high sec. Lots of Pirate pvp(maybe wardec) causes high sec to drop too. This would present a constant change and make it hard for players to adapt. Sorry newbies eve isn't a nice world. It would make it necessary to go to low sec and rat it up, or pass through. While im not a pvper at hart, a changing sec status would be a significant change that players have direct control over. You don't like low sec? you better rat in highsec so it doesn't decline. And that's Ratting, not missions, because we already have enough mission whores. While your at it you should also make the annoms better in HS so that if they do rat they can get a decent payday too.
5. I would like to see more improvements in WH's while your at it. Possibly moon mining like low sec with the C6 having rare stuff, and C1 having mostly light stuff. I know you don't want people to settle in WH's but we, as players already have, and its the one thing that nullsec corps can't control as easy. Yes they can control WH's but the logistics are so much more involved if you want to defend or attack a POS in a WH. As to other improvements in WH's I would have to think on it. I actually do think that WH's have more small pvp gangs then any other sec period.
6. Where is that...https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=75573 <--really come the **** on, I know that's been going on forever and still nothing.
7. FW, never tried it, I was told its broken and while I like to try things for myself I don't think i'll bother.
8. NPC corps. THIS IS A MMO PEOPLE. You should kick people out of NPC corps within 2-3 months, into PvPNPC corps. Where they can be war dec'd. Lets be honest if they want to avoid a wardec then they will make their own one man corp and its the same damn thing. This is an MMO they should be playing with people. With this change I would hope it would force many people to join player corps and build to this game. The fact is that most Vet NPC'ers are soloing or botting as far as im concerned and we don't need em.

I wanted to get to 10, but quite frankly these are the things I have an issue with right now, and I think of anything else right now, if I do ill make another reply with those.

As a solo player I want to try PVP.

The fact is why should I lose ISK in ships and modules for unfair battles and no enjoyment? - That's the main issue for me with Eve.

I would love to see the introduction of PVP arena style areas/systems that matches solo and group players and allows gambling and players to watch the battles.

Combine this with opening the door - allowing solo players to build bars, casinos, betting shops, maybe prototype style custom ships - well then you have yourselves a game.

CCP do not limit yourselves to a game designed only for groups.

well for the last year i have wanted to try something new however CCP has decided new content is not important for a persistent game.
