EVE General Discussion

Do away with ISK as a unified currency, have regional currencies instead. With prices listed in 1 or all 4 depending on what the seller chooses.

Fuel for using jump gates!

Allow in space module swapping, but make the ship helpless for 5 minutes. At the same time cut the number of systems which offer refit services by 7/8ths

In fact cut all systems with station services back, but make players less reliant on them. Mobile ore and scrap processing, mineral compression, and module repair.

Make rat stations that can be docked at, for a price. And have the markets for any mission related livestock be allowed only at these pirate stations. No more buying the 10 freed slaves from the contract pages.

Outlaw certain modules from being sold in certain regional markets, ie no damps can be sold in Caldari space, and Nova missiles are restricted in Amarrian space.

Have multiple portraits for each player and the ability to key them to different activities, one for fighting, one for manufacturing, one for help chat. Or just have them randomly change.

New station interior graphics depending on your occupation, dirty noisy docks for miners, trophy kills in the background for PvPers or missioners, gold trim for pimps and station traders. And maybe increased functionality like for the miner an updated chart of ore and mineral prices, and for the fighter an auto repair function.

I think those kinds of changes would make Eve feel more expansive and less understandable, more alien. They would reduce the ability of players to optimize with spreadsheets and push the game further into the realm of instinct and chance.

Wormholes?

We need more hubs and stargates connecting high-sec with low-sec & null-sec. Gate-camping and choke-points are lame.

I vote no on a second server. >.> There is plenty of empty space. I used to live in empty space for a while. Occasional guy comes in looking for an easy kill and fails, that's about it. If you don't like high sec being full, move to low, null, and wormhole. Less people out there. >.>

Corey, some fantastic ideas there :) (and some terrible ones too)

I especially like the ones that increase differences between empire spaces.

My favourite pipe dreams are long term depletion of resources, and dynamic system security statuses. Evolving living conditions, temporary environmental effects, even NPC political shifts and gold-rush style opportunities would stimulate migration, which would again create conflicts and economic changes, resulting in a livelier virtual universe.

You are correct, Sir!

Because it is utterly and completely disconnected in every way that the TQ users can experience. It was not introduced to 'provide space and mystery.' It does not siphon off users from TQ. It does not balkanize the TQ player base. Adding additional servers in the TQ player space would siphon off TQ users, reducing the content created by the extant population, balkanizing and reducing the populations. For all intents and purposes, the Chinese server exists in an alternate reality.

I state that your idea is braindead and pointless - Basically constituting an attempt to demonstrate your brilliance by postulating ideas that have no need, no function, and that would harm the player base AND the company that provides the game we play. Your idea is dead on arrival and your continued pursuit of it constitutes willful obtuseness.
