Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Since Apocrypha was released in 2009 people have been populating w-space, setting up POS's, making a living from killing sleepers and eachother.
W-space is the end-game for many. We wouldnt change it for any other enviroment avaliable in eve.
CCP did an awesome job creating one of the best expansions ever.

But since 2009 there has been very little done to make w-space better, and there are many very small but significant flaws in the game mechanics that make living in w-space harder then it has to be.

Top 3 examples:

• Ships comming out of a SMA have to recharge shields before they are useful.
• T3 cruisers should be able to refit subsystems at a SMA or a Carrier (we were promised it would be fixed, never happend.)
• Bookmarks, which are vital to any wh-dweller life, are insanely hard to be shared among (sometimes hundreds of) corp members.

First issue - imagine a scenario where you get attacked in our home system. You rush to your POS and the SMA, grab a shield ship, say a drake or tengu and... you have to wait 5 minutes for the shields to recharge before you can go and fight. This is not the case in empire where upon undocking you have your shields fully recharged. I doubt this is a hard thing to fix.



Second issue was discussed enough times already, and a fix was promised, and I know CCP Devs were working on it, so, with no hard feelings - where is the promised fix? What happend?

Third issue is probably the most requested fix that every WH corp can stand by. It is really annoying to share bookmarks within the corp with the current game mechanics. It often takes a very long time to get them to the people that need them, and in w-space bookmarks are essential.

There are at least two things that could be done to fix the issue:

1. Allow bookmarks to be stored "for the corp", which then show in a special tab of each corp member's people&places panel.
2. Enable bookmark sharing through chat, exactly like you can share ship fittings. This would enable people to simply link the desired bookmarks, and click them, save them localy.


3. enable copying more then 5 bookmarks at once (whole BM folders?)

Both mentioned on the forums and by CSM over and over again. Please make it happen.

I'm very happy to see some of the changes comming up in the winter expansion, awesome job. I just wanted to make sure some issues wouldn't get overlooked.

I figured I'd be giving you hell for nerfing wormholes. Instead, you nailed some fairly significant annoyances quite well.

You earn a cheerleader.

*\o/*

But I bet there's more then one way of making it happen. For example you could store the T3 in the hangar, right-click it there, tell it to refit certain subsystems, board it again with the new subsystems, refit modules, done. no graphics engine magic required.

Just like old time eve players often tell the story of how they didnt have 'warp-to-zero' I simply want to tell my future corpmates the story of how 'we had to copy every single bookmark MANUALLY!"

Like the topic name says, small, yet game changing feature.

Do it, CCP. I dare you.

SOV? OH GAWD NO!

And we do pretty good on the "content" end ourselves!

Asay isn't a BS'r - these changes would be *very* much appreciated, and make life in WH's that much better!

GJ Asay!

All of these issues have been raised by me (and many of them by other CSMs in the past). I am optimistic that at least some of them will be fixed this winter.

Confirming quality post, hopefully this stuff gets worked out.

Define some.

That is going to be up to CCP to do, I am bound by the NDA.
