Sitting here brainstorming ways to bring back old features that made eve super awesome.

one way i figured is a mass petition to CCP or to the CSM's for old changes to be brought back.

I for one loved the old school cyno system, aka the freaky lightning storms

and of course me personal favorite the old torpedo explosion effects, they made useing torps on a bomber and battleships seem that much more epic.


anyone else miss any changes ccp made. to be brought back ?

drone pooo would be good to bring back as well. to help turn the market priceing on ships down would be helpful.

for new players it hurts them the most haveing to spend 150 mill on a dominix hull + another 75-100 mill for fittings

I was thinking about this myself. Too bad drone dungeons and drone missions did not have a random chance that instead of bounties, drones had their alloys instead. A bit of a bonus without the possibility of being farmed. From a lore point of view, some of the drones escaped being categorized by Concord and thus avoided gaining a bounty.

As for the original post, the cold, harsh gaming universe of old. In Aura's voice (paraphrased):

"This is how you undock."

"This is how you fire a weapon."

"This is how you mine an asteroid."

"This is how you dock back into a station."

- AoE DD effect
- original pod design
- "cop car" FedNav Comet
- Jovian toons for GM's and Devs
- "Do a barrel roll!" animation when previewing fighters from their info sheet
- jet black Serpentis ships
- no more broadcasting probe-down sites (make us actually work to find those things, again)
- nix "loot bukakke", forever
- "learning skills".... they just plain made sense
- re-issue the Hellhound drones with a unique model (make them a CONCORD LP store reward, or something)

I just want the Quafe girl back.

(Actually, my male main wants). Not that there's anything wrong with a female char wanting the Quafe girl back, either. But I would be jealous.

AOE effect was nice back when their was only 4 titans in the game. now it be like every lowsec system would have a titan on gate, + 100's of capitals their for support.

Cruise bombers.

EDIT:
And villor (sp?) wheels in noob missions.

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.

Pre-Retribution mining. Back when it was hard to get into. Also so all the newbies know what it is like to mine in a Bantam and Osprey.

Also call me a bittervet . . . but I actually liked the box like targeting, circles are just way to . . . round for my spreadsheety tastes.

Edit: Pre-Inferno inventory systems!!!!!!

YES! MOAR VILLARD WHEELS!

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

The old earth shaking thundering roar of the strip miners. The new sounds are nice, but the old ones had some real power to them. (yes, Virginia, Eve has sound).

Old turret sounds/effects (especially beams and pulses). I remember seeing a video from just after trinity got released and immediately fell in love with how sick energy weapons back then looked and sounded.

Also, old heavy EM missile effects (the ejecting trail effect).

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

Smiley face on my ishtar
my pink Roden ships
green deimos. With green trails
Bring back navy ships not having space camo
Drastically scale back NPC aggro against combat drones
make my helios use the maulus model again



I guess most of the stuff i miss was just cosmetic. wow.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**
