What one thing about Eve would you change if you were CEO for a day?

Most chats have a userlist making this statement completely useless as you would still have everybody listed unless you meant "I'd make it possible to leave local chat".

CEO for one day. I'd immediately force them to fix/expand on mining/manufacturing/science and push up the priority for the POS re-do.

Then I'd force them to play Dune 2000 and Command & Conquer until they agree to change the fleet command issuing to something more top down and have them play MoO2 to make them understand a new angle on how sovereignty could work.

Granted, it would have to be a mid-summer day when no one gets to go home for the night.

I would force the art and visual department, and anyone who have helped making the "Eve Online trailers" and the "In Development videos" into making a full length movie that take place inside Eve Online and give the film away to free to every major tv stations in the world.

More accurately: CEOs should not do game design, but frequently do. Lol

CEO for a day?

I'd change nothing in game.

What I would do is authorize myself a massive performance bonus and retire someplace full of half naked Polynesian women.

I think this thread would be way more interesting as a "Lead Game Designer" thread. As such: I would nerf gang links into near oblivion.

you can minimise the user list though.

force the user list to be minimised, et voila.

1st thing:

All ships dial in system to system warp, "Star Wars Style", per module, or energy, or whatever. No more dependency on gates (I would favor a module, since someone wanting more DPS tank/dmg could opt to use gates by foregoing a hyperwarp module) .

No more gate camps as "the only way". Let these leet PVPers and renters work for their food.


Of course, all those killboards... oh the horrors...


Therefore, a 2nd thing:

Make ALL resources in the game finite. Systems where belts can be permanently mined out. Moons that can be sucked dry. Mission NPC rats that, after being defeated by every ratter and his alt, that decide to leave (and mission agents saying "I don't have work for you right now, the Serpentis/Guristas/Sansha have pulled out from this region"). Even stations would be limited to how many offices there can be, and a limitation to how many open bays they have for docking, and how much you can store in a hangar.

Either idea will stir things up a bit.

But, can all those e-peeners, internet tough guys, and leet PVPers handle that?

(probably not - and I expect certain nullseccers - the establishment they have become - to claim I don't know what I am talking about, while they protect the status quo only because it's their status quo).

If I were CEO of CCP, I'd be worried about the bottom line. Not about game design.

Tell whoever designed the unified inventory and new UI - to add the option of using the old "classic" inventory, UI and jukebox again.

Making changes is fine and some may like the new versions, however removing the choice to use things that many preferred was beyond silly.

Based on some of the suggestions they'd be far more competent as CEO designing the game than as LGD...
