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.

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.

Good suggestions, each one of them.

These issues have indeed been raised by CSM in the past; I'll see if I can get you more information on their status.

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!

Actually, These two changes I"m against.. If your living in a wormhole you can afford to have as many T3 ships to make up for not being able to refit sub-systems. Also, having to refit your tengu cause you to have to leave the wormhole which adds small PVP chances to catch a guy on his way out to refit. I think this change will promote less market and more people hiding in a POS. (Boo hoo scan yourself out to a station)

As for the shield recharging goes thats just the life of a shield tanker live with it.

For the record - I don't even own a T3, they are too expensive
But your argument is silly, the whole point of T3 cruisers is that you can change its purpose on the fly, refit it with different subsystems to do different things. What's the point of having a T3 if you need 5 of them to do 5 different things? I don't get it.
