Player Features and Ideas Discussion

i have been thinking about this for a while and decided to see what you think

Open Jove space but make it a one way trip(again).

the ultimate clone jump into the true unknown where you go from being the cream of the **** to the **** of the cream.

you have to have 150-200 million skill points or more to learn the skill for jumping into Jove space.

because Jove space is uncharted and unknown with totally unknown inhabitants and tech there cant be any speculation on the rewards, infrastructure, or how hostile the Jove universe will be.

you will be literally jumping into the void, and then living there. perhaps you can find a way to return to empire space perhaps not.

Prestige Mode, Start all over if you finish all the skills. XD

Honestly, even thought I'd give anything to fly in Jove space and fly their ships (see my bio), the most attractive thing is the mystery it evokes, having an entire area of the game world we CANNOT REACH.

I joined EVE because I loved the lore, especially the Jovians- I read Templar one and all of the chronicles and short stories involving the Jovians. I think there could be a lot CCP could do to bring the Jovians back into the spotlight in the future without bringing us to Jove space:

- Genolution is a Jovian corp- they have stations all over empire space- they could make use of that.
- Jove ships are really unique in a few of their own ways- they could be released through Geno solely for a huge fee, along with the skills necessary to fly them.
- All Jove corps already have agents, you just can't see them regularly: they could start introducing them for accessible corps in empire space if they wanted to.

More thoughts-

-With the Player-Made Stargates and new space planned, I don't think it would be unreasonable for the Jovians to have already reached some of these areas- there could be access to Jove corps and LP/ships/standings in some places here without the need to open Jove space.

There's a lot they could do with Jovians

Maybe it would be better for a corp like geneolution to start offering missions that take players into the unknown. These should be randomized in some way so that eve-survival and such can't give prescribed solutions. They should be dangerous too as you have no stations to dock and repair at. A player would need to be prepared and skilled to run the missions or have a good fleet;

These could be exploration missions where players are thrown through an exploration gate into new areas and can only get back by scanning a route through WH's. The player/fleet would have a target to attain that would probably require pacifying areas, exploring others, hacking cans to gather location details to warp to etc etc...these should be hard sites requiring investment in time and materials, like an unsupported Epic Arc capsuleer incursion into unknown territory. The only way to stay safe whilst you overnight is to fit cloak and afk whilst cloaked or log out whilst cloaked.

Reflects same mindsets of the approx 200K applicants astronauts for year 2024 mission departure to Mars. appealing for people, some, especially when not liking swimming and creative with red sands a lot i think maybe jovi is same skillpoint needed 150k?

isk is a resource. there is no set amount where u 'win' and cannot progress further.

not few folk would tell u the most fun they have in this game is with T1 frigs...

you all make good points, thank you for replying to me.

the high skill points required for entering Jove space could go some way to fixing the issues with an aging population with ever higher skill points.

personally i would love the idea of having to choose my path once i hit 200m SP. Do i carry on in known space ? or do i take the plunge and head into Jove space where my 200m SP just barely allows me to train for a Jove Frigate.

its a one way trip for the character you send. perhaps there is a way back but i am certain that it wont be as simple as scanning out a wormhole or completing an npc mission.

To me Jove space represents the cliff your about walk off of. Once you step over the edge there is no easy way of turning back til your trips complete.

although the market in empire space is player driven there is nothing to stop the devs making the jove market npc driven.

i dont see jove space as an end game, there is no end and there is no turning back.

I am not sure about 150M (spoken by someone with only 122 M), but a one way trip works for me.
Given that just about any char with 100M SP has alts around that can stay behind, sure why not essentially move onto Eve 2.0?

Best part, CCP can recreate the game by implementing all new game mechanics that disallow the messes we have today in Eve.

Going to jove space and never coming back is kinda bad,it would divide the universe similar to server shards and clearly we don't want that we wanna be trapped in a cage with all the snakes and the monkeys and the dogs but making it difficult to come back would be a more realistic thing.
Also,the 200m sp required to go in there is just plain stupid,it takes years and years for a new guy to experience that part of the game.so you're saying if i started 1 year ago i'd have to wait another 5-6 years to take part in the feature?

yes that's exactly what i am saying, i know it sounds stupid and it does preclude a large part of the player base but that's the point. i could be wrong about this but as eve grows and players stay active longer, more and more pilots will hit 200m sp. creating a top heavy tree of highly skilled pilots. allowing them to jump to Jove space removes them. allowing newer lower skilled pilots to move into the vacuum created by account holders deciding to take the plunge.

i admit my ignorance of the whole back end single shard PC thingy and its impact, my whole idea could be unworkable.

i also believe that there should be a way back. possibly a random event or a reward for a particular mission. i don't have the imagination to go into great detail about such things, that's why we pay devs.

thank you for the reply i appreciate it.
