Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Remowing R&D agents relly,spawning system way not just remowe datacors from the game complitly then,and when your at it if you like to simplefye the game then dont be shye remowe all skills and rec for production as well no need to go step by step,will still need matrials to build,then you kan relocate the science SP so i kan be a faresom commbatt pilot to after yers of playing to,and when you do hove many million isk will you give me for all that hard work on getting standings with R&D agents on 6 toons.think i want som billions isk.grrr

i see you and a lott of others want us to hunt for datacors in space then we get a lott less time for mining or doing other things in game production as an industrial is time consuming as it is,what you all want is to shift the incom from the industrial player to explorer combat player,no rel industrial will sugest anything like this,i want time to do other things to.

DATA CORES !
You buy a expensive skill book spend time training it up while grinding standings so the agent dose not spit in your face when you try to speak to him. And you get to buy his product made to your specifications for your use at a discounted price.

It works fine

IT ANT BROKE DON'T FIX IT

Please go and spend you time working on other things that are more important than this!

These changes are still in the planning stage so probably not until later 2016

Well this kind of makes sense and looks a workable system although I’m not shore how it would fit in with the rest of what a lab is supposed to do as this only focuses on data core production.
I would point out that this set up lends itself very well to giving the best sites and opportunities to Null sec and the big alliances that can secure interesting systems.
While hi-sec gets bottom line sub standard crap so an equal opportunity is removed from the 70% of Eve players and the choice spots go to the 2% of the industry capable players in Null.
CCP will probably implement it in full.

Not really, who says these sorts of "Celestial Phenomina" wouldn't spawn in hisec? And this focuses on all sorts of other parts of industry, not just the new stuff- I just focused and expanded on the new things because they needed to be explained in full.

These Phenomina could be transient, so that Solar Flare the "big alliances" are researching might only last a day or two. A science-based group would have to move around.

Don't really understand why the functionality of these structures has been predetermined to be so narrow. Is there really going to be no new "gameplay" associated with these? Giant photocopier in space? Really? Could we not be a little more imaginative? Thankfully my research job in real life is a lot more interesting than the science fiction version of it in EVE. Who knew playing a video game premised on thousands of years in the future would be more boring than current real life? :P

In all seriousness, please take this opportunity with the addition of these new structures to also add new interesting elements to research. The current EVE definition of research is extremely blah.

It is a difficult one. Research certainly shouldn't be as passive as it currently is. At the same time also not the level of interaction as with the hacking mini-game. Duration wise, possibly somewhere closer to PI, but fun? If possible? It would also be great if it was a collaborative act where linking parallel research between players could also potentially generate interesting and profitable results.

The only thing I can think of that would possibly be interesting would be similar to a tech tree in many other games. However, the individual elements (or stages) would be randomised to some degree. Linking different elements could lead to new combinations, or new elements. Some combinations would have good odds of modest results. The combinations that have lesser odds of success might be riskier to the extent that you might not get anything out of it, or you might get something considerably more valuable.

What would you be researching? What would the "results" be? Better blueprints of course. But possibly researching better manufacturing tools as well? Implants? Higher risk research, if successful could leads to better quality implants with higher bonuses?

Full disclosure, I have very little experience with industry in EVE, so where there are opportunities for research to have more of an interesting impact is a bit of mystery to me. However, CCP were willing to experiment with manufacturing crews (or whatever they were called), so it seems like there might be an open door for something to replace it.

I'm not sure if you are suggesting new (additional) sources for data cores. The low payouts from data sites, which are often just ignored by explorers as a consequence, suggests that there are too many already.

Marech.

you kant implement random value to industri,thats somthing no won in real life will want to handel,ther have to be som prediction of the out com,and making more valubal items in most casses mean the 1ns al redy in game lose value,this is a game so you kant implement invention as in real life,what you sugest is simply just adding more items to industry,and not for the industrialist.and it is al redy random output to som degre for invention and rewers engenering.
