Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Anyone who want to try.

Did somebody mention some complete proposal how that occupancy based SOV would work? I may have missed it...everything i read was very sketchy and without any actual details

I would like to know the opinion of CCP. For now, this thread is just free trolling and pointless speculations.

All well and good proposing stuffz to CCP in this manner, but essentially it is down to them to look at the current situation with a different mind set than they have exhibited these past four years.

This game was always about balance, somehow along the way this has slipped aside in favour of one aspect of game play, heavily weighted in this manner it is not good for EVE in the long term.

While I agree in principle with some points in this list of proposals, CCP needs to look very hard at why this imbalance has come about in the first instance and then set about correcting it.

EVE was never about any one aspect of game play but about the multiplicity of interactions brought about by the differing styles offered within the construct that is EVE, Careless tinkering with that in the past has been the promotion of a broken game such as we currently have now, CCP admit that EVE has been damaged and before they run off looking to change yet more stuff they need to correct that first, then build on that solid foundation again or risk having the whole thing collapse even further into the realms of a simple FPS with bling.

Likely yes. They would carve out a little constellation for themselves around the 5XKK station and won't bother to go 25 jumps to find the nearest Goon. They would get rich from Mordus LP and a green killboard from farming nearby terribads. They aren't saints and heroes, they prefer the easy way for their goals.

Currently their options are fighting CFC till the bitter end and bend a knee. They are indeed better than most who bent a knee. With the suggestion they'll have the option to not fight with CFC and not bend a knee.

Same for everyone else. PASTA, Tri, Mortuus will all carve out a little constellation and will be ratting there until they are too bored to log in.

For those of you who're interested, here's how something like a Perlin Noise Plasma evolves over time.

Now imagine that was truesec and moon goo spread across the universe. CCP can tweak the frequency, amplitude (including in the time dimension to make it evolve fast or more slowly). Notice how "hotspots" form in different regions of the map at different times. Different frequencies produce more or fewer hotspots of different sizes. See what works and what doesn't.

This is how I imagine dynamic content should look and I think (personally) that dynamic content would drive conflict.

In your post you just talk about how this would benefit PL or CFC, while nearly every leader of an alliance in nullsec has signed it. That includes Nulli Secunda.

Wrong. In reality, MoA currently does not have a conflict of interest with CFC. This is simply because MoA does not have the organization, capability or competency to hold assets in space under current system. Therefore, they never make it an objective to hold assets or sov, as they know well that they will fail to realize any end involving holding control on assets or sovereignty.

MoA does not 'fight' CFC over resources or space. Actually, there is no instance of MoA being able to hold the field on any space engagement at all, so using the term that MoA 'fights' CFC is an overstatement. (They are so risk averse that the only instance they undocked capitals was when 5Z was cyno jammed and it was hellcamped. Even that day, they still managed to lose at least two capital ships to CFC frigates) Only thing MoA is able to do is to kill is ratters that do not pay attention. If they see a region of space that is more abundant with careless ratters that do not give a damn about ratting ship losses, they will move there since MoA only exists to shoot at targets (inattentive ratters) that cannot shoot back. This also explains why MoA has a persistent concern on killboard color, even as far as their directors yelling at line members to keep losses below a certain value. Since killboard color has jack all to do with power dynamics of sovereign null, MoA does not and cannot have a claim to holding control over anything.

By the way, 5Z is a NPC station, it does not belong to MoA. For instance, VFK outpost is ours. But 5Z station does not belong to MoA.

It is a shame that those noobs that broke the game now try to fix it - the jalta pic in mits post really fits into the grander landscape.


All those players should biomass their chars.


EVE needs fresh ideas and devs willing to approach new ways of gaming that provide content.


Not sov null version 2.0

Well, considering such Goon sponsored events as Burn Jita and Hulkageddon, and such Goon sponsored organizations as CODE and Miniluv, and the longstanding desire of Goons to cajole (or even force) players to leave highsec for nullsec, it's quite reasonable that those who oppose that agenda would make their voices heard, and critically analyze the proposed "solutions" for nullsec, with a specific focus on how they buff nullsec rewards, and serve as a relative nerf on highsec income, which will attract more players to nullsec.

It's not "grrr.... Goons," it's just common sense.
