Player Features and Ideas Discussion

- Asteroid Belt change: each system has a huge over arcing Belt of Asteroids, the lower the security level the more asteroids in it and what are currently Asteroid belts are changed to Asteroid Fields. Belts then have more abundant resources. But Fields have better resources but have more RATs.

- Sun: New way to get recourses, a high tier and highly specialized profession were players hazard the star of a system to scoop up recourses such as high yield hydrogen.

- Banks: Corporations should have the ability to set up ‘banks’, a type of service that pays the corporation for holding money [about 1.5%] and increases money [by say 1.3% or so] (these are just made up numbers to show my point) thus promoting the continued stability of the bank; this however has the down side of, to insure the bank X amount of ISK is charged per month to the corporation by, say CONCORD. This charge is then ‘spent’ to strengthen CONCORD’s forces in high and mid security space (by maybe dropping their spawn time for a system with a bank located in it?), and/or makes a fall back for if someone steals from the bank.

- Mars Heavy Industries: Mars Heavy Industries or MHI has finally turned its eyes back to New Eden after more than a millennia of hiding. It isn’t well known why MHI has shown itself, be it to prepare New Eden for an incoming threat, or just a change in leadership; it is known that with their Gaia Class Titan Foundry ship they are by far the most technologically advanced group in New Eden. [And maybe the ability to dock Titans in it?]
As MHI’s Foundry Ship, the Forge of Mars, wanders known space MHI has made it known they are open for business; offering jobs to the capable, blue prints to a variety of new and old vessels, and access to their Custom Variants.
 Blue Prints: This is the only item that is sold by NPC’s in the Forge of Mars, but it blue prints are sold for all the ships in New Eden here.
 Customized Variant: For the first time players in Eve will be able to put forward their wishes for new ships and what they specialize in. This is however limited; both by the amount of ISK they can sink into the research, and the limitation of the technology.
This means that Players can express what they would like, and CCP can limit it to be within reason. For example, say a player wants a frigate with a large main cannon. The frigate could be built but it would have little armor, slow engines, and maybe only of slot for a standard weapon. Additionally the main weapon for the frigate would have a long cycle and ether use specialized ammo limiting its uses or deplete capacitor power and do damage based of capacitor power expended.

- Storm Crow [Hyperion Tech II]: The Storm Crow is the first of the Custom Variants of New Eden ships that MHI has put out. The Storm Crow is half again as large as the Hyperion, however most of this is to make room for extra capacitor room, larger engines as well as additional engines, and most importantly the Storm Cloud Shield System; it also has a unique type of armor, the Ablative Scaled Mantle.
 Ascetics: Storm Crow’s the Ablative Scaled Mantle takes the form of black feathers giving the ship a distinctly bird like feel, while the Storm Cloud Shield causes arcs of electricity to cover the haul of the ship.
 Ablative Scaled Mantle: This armor is the successful attempt at layered armor, and was prototyped with great success. It uses overlapping plates of armor to better deflect and absorb kinetic attacks.
 Storm Cloud Shield System: This unique shield generation system is capable of absorbing a small amount of all energy weapons that hit it and turn it into power for the ships capacitors. It oddly enough has a side effect of causing electricity to arc over the haul of the vessel it is installed on.

- Righteous Herald [Providence Military Spec]: The Righteous Herald is a Military Refit of the Providence Freighter meant for supporting ground ops. It can carry and even create clones, has the Purifier Cannon mounted in optimal position to cleans the unworthy, and has had a large amount of its cargo space removed to fit combat systems and extra armor and shields.
 Purifier Cannon: This ship board super weapon was designed for tactical bombardments but consumes a huge amount of capacitor power to use.
 Arch Angel Command Uplink: This special communications and surveillance array grants quite the advantage. It allows alley ground forces to renter the battle field faster, and constantly updates the tactical map in real-time with the positions of enemy forces.

- Hephaestus [Industrial Capital Ship]: This new ship was commissioned by the Caldarin State, for the propos of mobile construction.
 Mobile Foundry: For the first time equipment can be made in route to the front lines where it is needed.
 Defensive Drop: The Hephaestus can, instead of attacking a point from orbit, drop defensive turrets that are already active and keyed to their side of the conflict.
