Player Features and Ideas Discussion

That would work for me too, just give the players who are taking those actions, more options to choose from. This also will give you more "randomness". For example, add extra gates between systems. Avoid hot spots like Uedama. freighters passing our HQ is to predictable. They dont have many other options. Add more... safer for your hauler, more fun as a hunter. win-win ?

I got stuck in a malfunctioning gate...wasnt fun at all...

Fantastic way of getting scouts/webbers and freighters separated from one another and get freighters killed because they jumped into Low sec.

/s

Or try to burn back in a camp just to be re-spawned on the same gate because the code is buggy and made the 2 system calculation randomly with next system (1) and then back to current (2).

You could, you know, do something else. You know that right?

One time in 0.0 we started a SOV take. Bash, see pretty timers and go well....be back later on.

Some people said well whose up for station camp to pop the evacuees trying to leave before full collapse. Most said not me not me. The few sad station campers dropped out of fleet to make their own, we went back to staging system.

When there some guy posts up well now the bullcrap work is done for the night.....post suck ass boring bash op cruiser roam anyone? Fleet put up, x up begins and minutes later many did exactly what you want to do. Have fun.

Moral to this story is if your crew is station hugging all the time....find a crew that does what you like to do. Or has elements in it that do fun crap.

Little trick to help you out. Really hate boring ops....get some peeps, form up a roam before it starts and get far far away. Make it an easy hour+ before op, less obvious that way.


We'd like to come back fearless leader but we are out 30 systems. If you really need us...yeah....well can you all chill the 40 minutes for our return? Assuming no bad traffic as it were. Man....this had one alliance leader spaz out on our comms. Good times really, they were an asshat anyway.

I think a better option for a malfunctioning stargate would be to just have it not work for some amount of time. There are like a zillion gates in eve. I think it would be reasonable to have 5 of them broken at any given time. Have the down time vary in length. Keep the number fixed. As soon as one gets repaired, another random one goes down.

It could be as who cares as a gate to a dead end system in drone space that gets used once a week to some busy high sec bottleneck. Imagine the back up if a gate on the amarr - jita pipe went down for an hour on a sunday and the only way around was low sec. As a neat feature any stooge on auto pilot would have the new route auto recalculated and if that new route goes through low sec, then whoops should have been at the keyboard.

There is gold in this idea!

Road construction that gets programmed into gps is what us folks with jobs call maintenance. It's scheduled, predictable and something that you can pre plug into GPS. Google maps nicks real time data off of peoples phones stuck in traffic and adapts best routes (which are sometimes quite scenic but not optimal) on the fly.

Broken is like.... it broke. No pre plan. Just 'Oh snap' I can't get there from here.


I'm gonna classify you as a pampered bellyacher. You're instantly all whines and ouchy about possible disruptions to your plans. That's the point of Tora's idea. Sometimes **** aint right and you have to adapt on the fly. Gates being what they are and as many as they are, a few temporarily borken ones might add a little spice to the game. I love eve for all the graphs and spreadsheets, but I also love eve for the 'oh snap' moments. You get to think on your feet and adapt to changing situations.

Honestly dude, if your freighter full of Fido's is 3 hours late - no one cares. If you run out of play time and can't get your whazzits to market on Thursday... Friday will show up as soon as Thursday ends (and if it doesn't your whazzits aren't really important anymore). Life isn't 100% predictable - Tora's just suggesting CCP make eve a bit more real.

I like it.

He is correct with more terrorism taking place in High Sec because of the actions of Code and their never ending need to steal cargo I think they would evolve to the point of sabotaging gates so that the ship or ships would be directed to a safe location where they wouldn't have to do so much work in ganking the ship on a gate.

(read in documentary narrator voice) It is the year 2006 and the pilots in New Eden are getting random messages that some gate connections are offline..

Not again please. Back in 2006-8 we had that almost on a daily basis. Lag, random connections borked and if you were stranded in one of the system without a way out you had a really bad day / night.

While it sounds more or less fun to have gate put you somewhere else it may have the opposite effect of what was intended. If you read the old forums in Warfare and Tatics, people were talking more about going out and taking a shot, people went and took risks.
Now back then everyone was flying battleships all the time or battlecruisers but if was actually fun to go out and really explore New Eden.
Now today the second you undock you will have everyone in New Eden know what you fly, what your fit is, who your wife and children are, what your eating habits are, what you are wearing at the time, your shoe size and whatever else.
Then someone will bring 33 archons, 60 Guardians - just to be sure - and whatever the meta ships of the year is to shoot you down.

And no losses, mkay? Keyboard must be 1893784% green or you get murdered at home.

You want randomness? Lead with example and screw keyboards.

This is the features and ideas section it's boring reading another moron tell me that eve doesn't change when it changes all the time ....gtfo out of features and ideas if you don't have any

Edit - maybe harsh stating your a moron but the fact you called me lazy while this proposal adds more travel/scouting seems ridiculous also it's a hypathetical situation I'm talking about you have no idea what my playstyle is .
