Player Features and Ideas Discussion

......That sounds like a good idea Alt. With planets its more realistic than respawning asteroids.

Sounds good and the counter measure could be tanking from the fleet to keep things balanced and active like all the other elements. And NPC's can finally use remote applications in their warfare.

Remember in eve you are always conducting PvP with everyone else when you come up against another solo player or a fleet and lose its because in that moment and the ones leading up to it they had played the game better than you.


eve isn't a match by match game most of what determines was put in place long before the fight. when you see a big fleet all you see is that big fleet not the amount of effort that went into gathering the pilots organizing and making sure that they have enough incentive not to awox you and provide a warp in for another fleet on top of you.


but even after you have that you then must be able to manage them in a fight because even if you have 10x the ships if you come up against a group more competent than yours you still lose

So basically what we have now is we got the flaw of invincibility from targeting some random ship taken care of and we got remote capabilities making it not just an idiotic senerio when encountering a fleet taken care of. And instead a very powerful tool for soloing.

I mostly play solo, and have yet to encounter someone who solo pvp'ies as well in Amarrian space, but this idea... What the hell... No. Just no.

...Yes. If you throw yourself, unscouted and outnumbered, at a defended chokepoint over and over again, you're going to die a lot. That is how defensive positions WORK.

Play smart, pick your fights, and don't try to brute force your way through a dozen strong gatecamp in a rainbow laser rifter.

Also, with your one target thing, if you're not putting out ~200k alpha per shot, you're not going to break a logi supported fleet, so even if that was put in you'd STILL be here complaining.

I think the point of MMo is that, when you meet "legend" and can not beat him, u bring friends to help you. Otherwise idea that one man bullying whole corporation (not thanks to that hes sneaky or he outsmarts the corp, he just siting before corp station and askiking everyone one by one,because they cant trap him,outnumber him,or anything) is bad.

If you wanna duels, find friends, go to some low/null sysstem and duel there 1v1 while others will close the system to foriners.

Or simply run away from fleets, I think even your favorite Bruce Lee fight fleets(huge bands of other guys) just because he must,or have no other choce, not just because:hey!I am good,I definitly beat them all,weee Jeronymoooo!pew pew...
Seek a fight when u can compare,dont let them take you to fight.

or go play Mortal Combat ;-)

Like I said its a huge improvement and only a strength you won't defeat a whole corp with their remote capabilities.

OP, I think many people share your frustration with the whole "solo vs group" aspect of EVE. I think part of it has to do with the nature of the reality that we come from (the real world) compared to the reality that we are born into when we log into EVE.

In the real world, the "game-balance" is much different. A single shooter can destroy many lifetimes of other people's work with just 1 trigger pull. A single aggressor can evade an entire nation of others looking for him. Information is scarce and very expensive to acquire and process. Even beyond the physics, we would probably find that in the real world, groups composed of primarily destructive, parasitic individuals tend to disintegrate quickly (unlike EVE). There is a tendency toward justice in societies. There is always a certain meritocracy, even if it is just to reward those who are the best at doing bad . . . but it has taken a lot of time to arrive at this state, and, in truth, it might all just be an illusion. After all, don't we all belong to political gangs called "nations"? Don't we all work for "corporations" of one sort of another? Aren't things like telephones and inter-networks and books, etc. all intended to overcome information scarcity? And, they didn't just appear out of thin air.

I think if you looked a little more closely at the world you come from (the real world), you might find that it is actually not much different from EVE. Just to procreate or even eat, you need to interact with "others".

I think if you examined how you interact with that "real" world, you would find your answer to succeeding as a "solo" entity in this massively multiplayer game-world. I think you will find that you survive by enabling the various physical and social constructs that reciprocally enable YOU. You survive by avoiding and ultimately destroying the various constructs that reciprocally work to destroy YOU.

You wouldn't expect to win a shootout with your city police force or a group of bank robbers . . . not without a good plan, but there is no module for that in EVE. I don't think there ever will be.

5 can beat 10. 1 can beat 5. What you don't seem to understand is the concept of TACTICS. You need to pick your battles, fight them on your terms, and avoid the people you wouldn't stand a chance against.

The mechanics do not need to change to allow one guy to beat fifty. Do please remember that this is a GAME, and the fifty are looking to have fun, same as the one.

if you want to be a legend, work at it. Take the PVP classes you've been told about, take the skills and the tactics you learn from them, and develop them. Don't expect CCP to hand you your legendary status on a silver platter. Earn it.
