Honestly Does anybody have a PRACTICAL idea that wont take p hundreds of hours of dev time or a seismic change in the game engine?

When you get down to it Eve is just a ton of solar systems that look basically identical and combat is basically you clicking on a red cross and turning **** on until sombody blows up. Yeah i know there is navigation involved but most of the time you can get away with going afk in the middle of the fight.

So does anybody have Ideas for breaking up this drudgery? I'm ersonally logging more hours on Star conflict lately than eve so I would love to hear some ideas.

I would like to start up an investment firm ingame but lack of ways to actually enforce the contract system make it imposible.

You seem to love afk-ing, so maybe you could try that in pvp and see where that gets you.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I would like our tactical displays to look .. well.. more tactical

maybe with a solid blue line showing where your ship has been and a solid red line showing where your enemie's ship has been.. a dashed line in blue and red respectively showing where those ships are estimated to go next- not just some big stupid ball with a numbered shuffleboard disk centered on it...

that current tactical crapola helps like a push down the stairs to a guy in a wheelchair- sure it gets you there, but it's rather inelegant, and for all the money generated by our memberships CCP can do better

I guess i'm just bored of my eve life being centered around things shooting things but this isn't about me. This is aboutdrastically overhauling the presentation of the game.

Make your time work for you. Thats the hall mark of financial success.
