Jita Park Speakers Corner

That option was brought up with the CSM.

EDIT: On second thought, maybe the better option would be for CCP to make a simplified spaceship shooter and let EVE evolve into the full fledged sci-fi sim that they've been talking about for years.

It's a journey, it's exploration, and it's establishing new rules for your own land.

• NewPOS : a home away from home for nomads and kingdoms alike
• NewSOV : use it or lose it
• New Stripping : my God, it's full of rings
• NewPVE : dynamic world events (tied into FW, Sov, random in high-sec), should include miners ("war preparation") and haulers
• NewNPE : bring back voice-over, even better guidance with NewUI
• NewUI : see through space all the way to the horizon

And give more credit to the lore.

They should follow the dusk 315 path, and just create a new game for this stuff.

In EvE Online, you control all ships inside a Hydrostatic Capsule, filled with ectoplasmic liquid. That why we are called Capsuleers.

In EvE Online, you are not a pilot like on the trash B-Movies/Series you just mentioned, you don't walk inside ships, you don't have a crews, etc, etc

Now if you want to be "Mr limited brain", you can roleplay that you are swimming inside the pod goo, it's not walking but it's the next best thing.

The themes of "Gold Rush" and "Horizon" would surely be the most straight forward ones to implement in the EVE sandbox. However, since Apocrypha already has delivered such a theme, I would find that a missed opportunity to create something unique. Let's not just add more sand and better shovels to the sandbox. Let's add a stream of running water, even if it tears down some castles.

There are many possible narratives that could be used as templates.

Personally I love the dark and gritty feel of EVE. I always have wondered why there are no large scale catastrophes in this world? What could be more exciting than to witness the fall of old empires?

Let it start slowly ... maybe our tinkering with technology finally will bite us in the backside? Mabye the newly discovered genetic modification methods are the first step in the abyss. Give people a reason to scramble from diseased stations. My modular POS shanty towns are refugee camps. New Eden is a dark place. The empires rotten at their hearts, fat purse capitalists getting richer and richer at the expense of the hard working laborer while the various nullsec dutchies, despite what they like to believe, are mere colonies, sucking at the **** of Jita, Rens and Amarr. Time for a rush for gold ? Or a time for those who prevail in the ensuing chaos?

Fly reckless! Chira.

PS: Just thinking outside the box.

renaissance is IMHO the best theme to start into the second decade of eve and the consolidation of the "new CCP"
get out of the dark and horrible medieval ages and start over with a fresh and open mind.

renaissance translate like: strive to renew ALL the things which need help.

can easily be combined/merged with themes like:

industrial revolution or just revolution
- field'n'farms considerations
- industry overhaul(s -> ui, 0.0 and high sec interactions, minerals/materials distribution,....)
- give high, low and 0.0 a unique "souls" (WH-space has that to an extent already but there may be opportunity for polishing too) the "old" concepts do not really fit anymore
- get rid of all the old code suppressing innovations like modular pos and so forth
- capital roles
- to make it short: every(thing that needs to) change

the jovian crisis
- more lore about those secretive guys
- "new tech aquired from jovian" -> blank card for any iteration/ new feature
- epic events?

the second exodus
+1 to" build your empire"





features maybe worth looking into:

weapon tiericide
give me reasons to use weapons like "quad light beam lasers" and "dual 425mm autocannons" except insufficient fittings for fitting something bigger.
(for my examples: just give me any reason...)

make usefull ALL the ammo:
most types of ammo/crystals never gets used because they are just not worth it.
Proton/Nuclear/carb. Lead. projectiles, FoF missiles, defenders....
odd increments on laser crystals and hybrid charges...
Fusion/EMP and Phased Plasma projectiles really should influence the falloff.

Back tracking much?

The whole idea between the new approach to expansions is not to focus on a single feature.

Ideally the next expansion could contain something with avatars, something for null, something for explorers. CSM is asking us to suggest a theme. Not debate the merits of an individual feature.

A new Epic arc exploring the creation of Dust Mercs could be fun (and a great way to introduce dust to eve players). Im reading Templar one at the moment and am enjoying it heaps.

Lol. Yeah me too.

Maybe we could have a "dark" theme for the next expansion. Where the sins of the major empires are revealed.
- sleepers invade portions of k-space to take fiery revenge against those capsuleers who harvest their tech (sleeper ncursions)
- Jovian agents move amongst us. (agents that move from place to place and offer dynamic missions and can only be found through WiS). The missions they offer could involve killing other players as the Jove wish to examine their bodies (boost to PVP).
- planetary populations revolt against the wholesale extraction of their resources, and capsuleers must decide whether to look after them, or oppress them, or just nuke em. (update to planetary interaction )
