Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Already said I sold 'em all.

And I'm asking for MORE deaths, not less. Let's put pew pew into highsec for REAL.... Have you got what it takes?

The great unsaid here....why not find other PvP-ers and shoot your hearts out (literally)? You shoot. They shoot. You shoot...

Why drag the entire EVE population into some psychopathic hunger for chaos? Why can't the ones who like to do it, do it. The ones who aren't interested as their interests lie elsewhere NOT do it?

The great unsaid...honestly answer that. Why?

The market dictates the cost and the resources are contained by a few.

We could make the insurance as commensurate with the loss as it is for the ganker. Economy can still revolve around the gank and the miner goes back and does it again.... and again...... adding more impetus to the economy.

It's the easy solution and would also make T2 more used (if insured) which in turn also adds to T2 resource value which aids in making 0.0 moons more valuable which makes protecting or capturing more of said moons valuable etc. etc....

But that's logical, too simple and requires no thought.

This is EVE.

It's gotta be complicated, unjustifiable, convoluted and silly before it's accepted.

Ah so basically you want free ISK without playing the game... I see.

Answer is NO........

Mission running is meant to be more profitable because its more risky, this is something that needs to be addressed and probably can easily be addressed by making the bots use closer to sleeper AI. Mission running vs bots IS a mini-game of it's own.

But, you shouldn't be able to make loads of ISK while AFK (excepting of course if its just delayed ISK from time spent previously, aka reaction POSes e.t.c.)

As for market traders been 'risk-less', not really, they risk any money they invest in the market, doesn't take much for a particular goods to drop below the price they paid for it.

I can't really comment too much on the industry side other than that it seems to require quite a lot of time vs the effort put in, so I don't really have a problem with it been safe.

BTW, I've got billions of ISK, not rich in EvE scale but enough to keep me in sub-caps for a long while and every single ISK of that I've made while ACTIVE and at my keyboard. Not trying to get freebies while spanking my monkey like other people seem to want to do. If you aren't enjoying your ISK making activity, find one you do. There are plenty of ways to do it out there.

Not an issue... been ganked, my own fault... life goes on.

I do like the war dec a corp forever plan lol. Could have them pay to be undeced so they could leave rofl.

Why don't miners just use the Caldari rokh battleship to mine during times of trouble ? Can't you fit a pretty hefty tank on one of those things (enough so that common suicide ships don't have enough firepower to take em down before concordokken) while still maintaining a reasonable mining output ? Didn't miners use them before the mining barges where introduced ?

You're making the mistake of thinking that many of the miners in an NPC corp are bots, they're not. It is true that mining is a boring profession with the mining mechanics of the game and as such a lot of miners semi-afk whislt they mine but they're not botting.

Ofc there are bots in the game but they're equally just as much in player corporations.

I don't see your posts as having anything really constructive in them, it seems you're pushing your own agenda whilst trying to disguise it a bit.





Some reasons why people stay in NPC corps in no particular order:

1) A lot of the players corps for want of a better word are crap.
2) There are quite a few of the smaller player corps that have 100+ listed but only about 10 actually play on a regular basis.
3) There are more players in an NPC corp than most player corps (not talking about alliances).
4) People have time commitments in RL so do not want to commit to a player corp.
5) Players can play the game the way they want without the corp imposing their playstyle on them.
6) Player corps impose restrictions like how many sp you have to have before they will consider even allowing you to join.
7) Player corps are too nosey some want full disclosure on your character before they will consider you. And a lot of player think it's non of their business.
8) Small player corps can be frequently war-dec'd because the war-decing corp wants easy kills to boost their killmails.

Actually killmails and ranks are the worst thing that can happen to a pvp game, because it does not promote pvp it just promotes ganking.

I'm sure I could add to that list, but I think you get the picture.

If you did get what you want in number 1, you would just see another large wave of people leave Eve, so you would have even less people playing. In some ways it could be entertaining because the weaker gankers would become the ganked.







This is where your real agenda is, making high-sec more of a PvP area.

Concerted ganking can kill anything - that's how firepower works. There's only a finite amount of health while you can apply a theoretical infinite amount of dps if you have enough people/ships.

But right now people are complaining about brutixes/Thrashers killing their stuff solo. A rokh can fit a big enough tank so that neither of those ships can take it out quickly. If there's a bunch of them, if you spot them on scan roaming towards you (because groups of battlecruisers/battleship don't just hang a round belts). If you stay aligned you can warp out easliy. You have decent tank to take the small guys.

When the ganking craze dies down you can go back to flying barges. What is the problem ?

I have no big issues with miners, everyone should be able to play the game as they please. However it has low gameplay engagement along with plexing and ratting and missioning. All you have to do is click target and fire. Any fool can do that, there is no skill and knowhow involved. Frankly it's dull and low risk and needs a shakeup, for example spawning a tough NPC that tackles and does enough DPSt o make miners, missioners to at least worry their empty little heads instead of these rats that pop if u sneeze of them.

Nothing should be risk free in the game, the fact that bots can do these things, says a lot. Playing EVE should never be a comfortable experience. Everyone from missioners, miners, plexers and pvpers should always be looking over their shoulders and should be punnished for falling asleep at the wheel.

wha???

Under war-dec. Yes. Suicide gank. Rare.

Maybe you mean the gankers? Killmails? Concord doesn't keep one.
