Remove 40% of the systems

The edge is REALLY hard to see at times but it DOES exist and in this case we were looking at a situation where a new feature created for all of our customers was being virtually curbstomped by five of them

I'd rather see something where all ships have their own jump drive. They have to angle their ship correctly towards the system they want to jump to and initiate a jump themselves. I'm not saying I want it to be instantaneous either, i.e. a jump should take time, and a maximum range of how far people could do this depending on ship would be wonderful, but it's just something I'd like to see.


To quote a famous star pilot, "Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it."

Manual aligning with Eve's point and click interface would be less than fun.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Would kindof kill the phrase "in the vast emptiness of space". Though I guess they could remove Deklein, the pentagram cluster shows that region is pure evil, and CCP-US shows it's pure ****.

Think about it for a moment, We have been to all corners of this map and back many times(except Jove space), why not have new areas open up and the current safe space, so to speak, grows as well, after all we do explore things and when we explore, we discover.

Isn't it about time that we discover new regions, new technologies, more new minerals and perhaps a new NPC race as well ?

It wasn't *that* long ago when they did all of this with wormholes.

And there's still hundreds of completely empty wormhole systems. Hundreds.

As for blocking off pipelines, I think it'd be interesting if other people could have a method of detecting jumps through space and intercept you in a system that is close to the path of jump. Space battle ensues.

Theres this new method of pvp that you might like

its called gate camping

I slightly agree with OP. instead of expanding the systems. I think they need to add more mystery to the systems. Hidden rewards that randomly spawn. I dunno. Make some systems more unique than others. All little variance. If you ever heard warhammer 40k they had things called "space hulks" which where giant derelict space ships, which where infested with Daemons. I dunno. Just something to make each system a little different from one another. So if you call a certain system home. Not just home b/c of the NPC station.
