Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I don't really like the idea but i'm not very against too.

My main grief concern the smalls commercials structures. Low sec on routes will directly impact small structures wich are going to be stricly maintained in one faction area. Faction commercial trade will directly give fantastic profits for medium/big structure, happy to see small structures unable to follow. I see great distubance in wealth distribution.

Other thing, cooperatives factions should still have hi sec borders.
No hi sec between Amarr and Minmatar's borders => perfectly logical.
No hi sec between Amarr and Gallente's borders => perfectly logical.
No hi sec between Amarr and Caladari's borders => strongly illogical.
etc...

But if we follow this logic, a complete NPC stations remap would be logical too. No Amarr corporations in both Gallente and Minmatar's space. No Gallente corporations in both Amarr and Caldari's space. etc...

At least, this is interressant.

My two cents.

Your jump freighter represents a 7bn isk investment in infrastructure which gives you a competitive advantage in terms of risk and freight capacity.

This models commercial reality very well. You have just made a convincing argument in favour of the separation - it incentivises hisec haulers to invest in jump freighters, something they would not have considered before.

thus the overall economy of eve is improved.

The way i'd like to see this implemented is with a long chain of Real Time Player events.

Wouldn't it be cool if they allowed all of the non-faction stations in each empire to be destroyable when this stuff starts happening. Maybe they could allow FW aligned Corps to jump their dreads into the Empire they're aligned with for these special events. And if there's still dreads in the systems after the events they can just move them like they would normally or just allow FW pilots to jump into empire space in general.

And i guess the area between the Empires could be additional FW space. Maybe instead of it being Amarr vs Minmatar or Caldari vs Gallente it could just be a 4 way power struggle to control those systems. This means there would need to be a good reason to want to have control of those systems. Maybe we could allow FW to build outposts in them and control them like outposts in sov space. The difference would be that they would be a lot cheaper to build (maybe a special type of FW LP bought version) and they'd be destructible when a system is either vulnerable or totally captured.

This is just one of the things i think would be great that would be made possible by first separating the empires.

What do you guys think about something like this?

Why not make it adjustable with FW, if Minmatar/Gallente gains the Upper Hand it turns into Highsec for them but lowsec or (unclaimable) 00 for Amarr and Caldari.

You could make it "player enforced" hisec. FW pilots could get LP for keeping the peace somehow. No need to involve concord.

I really dont think it makes a difference to camping if the borders are static or not. The best place to camp will always be somewhere along the route that you get when you put in shortest or safest. Anywhere that gets more traffic can be seen on the map through statistics and pirates would adapt accordingly.

would these borders meet to form a safe hi-sec bridge?

It depends... if the FW "Winner" can hold the constilation long enough why not?

Maybe i am to Dark Age of Camelot centered but in RvR to keep your advantage against the Enemy was the Most Fun Part.

It could be that some Konstalations may be to small or to big but that would be CCPs Job to balance i just want more RvR in my PvP in EvE. ^^

Solvent system security is a bad idea. It seems cool but widely impractical, devs are just getting around to off grid boosting issues and still wont touch the off grid part because it too much coding. Also terrible as a FW reward, good FW pilots normally have various negative sec statuses. Highsec is not a reward, its a hindrance. Why would pilots fight to have territory removed from their possible area of operations?

And of course there's the flip side. If you can have lowsec become highsec, the you must be able to do so vice versa. How many do you think would try to lower as much highsec as possible to low security?

Blizzard vs POE:

Did they really? WTF was blizzard thinking?

And YES! This thing needs to get done.
