If you could write a new skill book for Eve what would it be?

Personally, I think CCP should add a new skill to the game so players could sue scam contracts for False Advertisement. I'm talking about contracts that say 'Full set of +5 Implants' when there's actually only +3's contained in the contract. Or contracts that say 'Faction Ship' when it's actually a T1 ship, etc.

Quote:
Legal Proceedings:
This skill allows a Lawyer to sue one previously flagged contract once every 24 hours for False Advertisement per level. Each level trained would allow the ability to sue another previously flagged contract plus add another 10% to the settlement fee. The settlement fee is a percentage of the contract price to be removed from the wallet of the contract owner. If the owner of the flagged contract doesn't have enough isk to pay the settlement fee, any remaining isk in the contract owners wallet is removed as settlement fee and the contract is then removed from public view.

Level 1 = ability to sue 1 previously flagged contract every 24 hours for 10% of the contract price.
Level 2 = ability to sue 2 previously flagged contracts every 24 hours for 20% of the contract price.
Level 3 = ability to sue 3 previously flagged contracts every 24 hours for 30% of the contract price.
Level 4 = ability to sue 4 previously flagged contracts every 24 hours for 40% of the contract price.
Level 5 = ability to sue 5 previously flagged contracts every 24 hours for 50% of the contract price and special ability.

Special Ability:
Legal Proceedings Level 5 promotes the Lawyer into Judge, Jury and Executioner allowing him to 'Flag' one different contract every 24 hours for False Advertisement. That contract would then need to be ratified or flagged by 2 other level 5 Lawyers to enable Legal Proceedings against the contract, thus invoking the 3 strike rule.

Let the noob crushing commence.

The trend in MMO's for two decades has been to vertically integrate third party profiteers into the business model of the developer: gear, versions of rmt, character sales, etc. all originally eBay and 3rd party, now in game and contributing to the developmental resource pool.

I propose an AI skill through which CCP vertically integrates and regulates botting. After all it is a sci if game and no real consideration of AI singularity has been included. What? Create a skill tree that allows botting in game, but creates appropriate risk and in game investment associated with it. Make the bots visible and more attractive than third party vendor alternatives. Remove the profit motive for third party profiteers, etc. no real idea about the mechanics exactly, but that is probably the easy part, as has been shown in the parallel forms of integration.

I am fully ready to be crushed about this idea, but that will be no different than my in game experience as I try to learn to PvP. :)

You should have to actually read skillbooks and then have a test at the end, to see if you remember what you read.
If you fail the test, then you don't get the new skill. For every level new pages are revealed to you and you retake the test Twisted

Spin Doctor (Social): Mitigates the standings loss when doing things other factions don't approve of, 10% per level.

Example: Storyline mission, +5.0 Gallente, -3.0 Caldari. At Spin Doctor 5 it would become +5.0 Gallente and -1.5 Caldari.

I would cut those % back by a factor of 100, but I love the concept.

I would imagine corps and alliances telling their members not to train this just in case the closest ship is friendly

Psychical rehabilitation - Eases the traumata when your consciousness gets transfered to another clone. Decreases the time between clonejumps by 1 hour / level. So at level 5, you could perform a Clonejump every 19 hours.

this one should be implemented.

After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary.  -Fozzie

Totally not worth training with anything less then a 4 hour interval per level and a advanced follower that decreases it another 10% per level

-10% to weapon reload times per level.


Too high bonuses imo.

2.5 sec reload for Gallente and 5 for Minmatar and Caldari. This effectively nerfs the Energy turrets advantage of insta reload.

5% pr level should be max
