And anyone who has anything remotely to do with game balance just slit their wrists... kinda like I wanted to while reading this wall of text post...

Before suggesting something like this, I have a simple project for you. Take a super simple symmetric board game like Monopoly, and try to make it asymmetric so that playing as "Hat" feels different from playing as "Car". Maybe Car gets to add 1 to it's die roll and maybe Hat starts out with $300 extra...

Now play the game, did your rule changes break it? If not, continue adding game pieces and powers until you have 300 unique different game pieces, each time making sure your new pieces didnt unbalance the game.

Now consider how much more complicated Eve is than Monopoly.

Get the picture?

Just... No. CCP has enough of a hard time balancing things with non-moving slots layout.

French half-noob.

Non, je ne suis pas gentil.

That freaking wall of text. Damn.

To the idea itself, no thanks. I don't see how it would contribute in any way known to mankind.

NO - because game balance issues that are to unreal to even try to figure out.

But I do wonder which ship / slot layout / fit would be the new OP ship to fly.
