Player Features and Ideas Discussion

To start we are missing Pirate Faction Warfare in the game!

We have quite alot of Pirate Faction sympathizers in eve wich is something that adds some juice to the game. This would be great if we can really work under the flag of such an entity like currently you can be in the navy. Ofcourse this comes with positive and negative effects.

Example always have Outlaw status Hi-Sec NPC and Capsuleers Will be able to hunt you down even with possitive security standings.
Only Able to go into Hi-Sec by buying a Pardon Letter in a Low or 0.0 border to Hi-Sec in the stations wich will cost you a Considerate amount of ISK. and LP and it wil lbe for 24 hours only.
Ganking will Take away the Pardon letter and concord, navy and capsuleers alike will see you become flashy red right away.
to counter the negative standing pilots to be able to go to high sec unpunished and gank something juicy the pardon should be not to cheap.

example 1 x 24H pardon will cost 50.000.000 ISK and 50.000 LP.
it will be allowed to stack them so you can add multiple day's
They can't be traded or Contracted to by-pass the mechanics!!!

to be clear the only way to have Hi-Sec access is by Pardon letter's as positive standings or grinding for the clone soldier tag's will not have any effect what so ever you are considered a pirate by CONCORD

Breaking Rules of Engagement set by pardon letter will get you a fine with the next formula:

Destroyed Ship + Modules + Rigs / 100 x 80 = Fine

example:
Cruiser 9.000.000 isk
Rigs 12.000.000 isk
Modules 18.000.000 isk
-------------------------- +
Total 39.000.000 / 100 = 390.000 x 80 = 31.200.000 Isk wich is 80% of the original vallue

This fine will be taken by Concord and you will be Concorded.
also you lose the remaining Pardon letter time also the stacked letter's
This way the only reason for a pirate faction warfare pilot to gain acces to HI-Sec for a day is either run incursions or re-supply his arsenal

The pirate in Pirate faction corporation or alliance will make isk and LP in the following way's
- Active hunting Navy Faction Capsuleers in FW space.
- Destroying a ship will be rewarded with some LP and Isk compared to the destroyed hull.
- Pirates now can take control of the same Faction Warfare sites in the same way by orbiting the structure in the sites.
- They will have to get rid of the NPC faction in the site to start the timer.
- When completed this will be rewarded with LP from your Pirate Faction.

Further we need more lvl 1 to 5 agents seeded in Low-Sec to do missions against Concord and the 4 Empire Factions.

To support this kind of addition to eve.
It will enhance the Sandbox and roleplay community, this could be a great feature.

Another thing add small Hi-Sec Pocket for Tutorial agents and carreer agents piracy focussed and allow new players to start directly as a Blood raider or Angel for example were they can run lvl 1 & 2 missions Only to motivate to move to low/0.0 space for better agents.
And train up a bit to work up to PvP switching Concord out for the Local Pirate Faction.
basically creating little Tortuga's for each Pirate Faction.

Well some will like this idea and some wont like this, what i want is constructive feedback on ideas and why or why not having certain mechanics like the examples i have stated in this post.

Edited some of the mechanics
being able to bypass pardon's letter mechanic's by paying other pirate faction capsuleers for the LP to gain them

now pirates can not trade or contract over pardon letters. mechanic has been added to the prevent easy hHi-Sec access.

it will be the CONCORD of the Pirate Faction in the starter pirate system's to prevent Game Breaking Ganks and griefing.

requesting more feedback to work this topic out more
i would not mind to work in the late hour's with ccp to refine this idea

I support this but ... also i would love to see more low sec. And part of this war to take also in low sec, not just null.

But this is absolutely one of best things (at least for me) that can happen to EvE. I would be loyal AS HELL Corpus or Centus Soldier !

Not sure about who would fight with who ... As far as i can tell you it would be Blood Raiders + Sansha vs Angel + Serpentis. I think Dread Guristas are more friends with Sansha/Blood Raiders than with Angel / Serpentis too. That could lead to some imbalance like 3 factions vs 2 . But in the end EVE is cruel world and is not meant to be FAIR ;).

by lore some of the pirates are allied to eachother and some are enemies from eachother this should be the case.
but also they will have all 4 empires in the neck as a pirate is an outlaw so they will also fight the current respective empire navy factions

all this will be in low-sec as it should be playing in the same territory of the empires.
currently most pirate npc agents are 0.0 and they would need to be seeded over low-sec and 0.0.
though 0.0 is not to be touched for sov is the game mechanic there.

this is a low-sec game so it should stick there its basically nothing more then an expansion of the current faction warfare more weaved in the storylines of new eden.

Just when I had lost hope that there would be any good ideas posted today.

+1

I would like to see pirate faction presence in lowsec. It makes more sense for them to have stations there than the empires fighting over the 0.1 status systems as they currently do.

I would say this idea should be a point of focus for the next expension. Pilots and corps have been wanting to "join" with pirate factions for years now. Pilots use to do it in the roleplaying kind of way. This however would be a great improvment.

I absolutely support this idea. Especially like the idea of gaining points for taking out navy faction pilots! LP's should be rewarded when destroying opposing pirate faction and neutral pilots too, but maybe in a smaller amount.

It would be a huge addition to existing FW system, and would sure make lowsec more alive and scenic than ever.

CCP, make it happen!
