Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi,

I'd like to volunteer/participate,

I was at Eve Vegas and saw the announcement of the changes, I'm excited and worried as ay other player and would like to participate in this group. I'm a more carrier-centric player that utilizes archons and chimeras for logistical purposes, mainly triage. While I'm also familiar with the workings of "supercapitals" I'm generally new to them. If I'd say I'm lacking anything it woudl be experencie with dreadnoughts. I can bring the perspective of a non-supercapital pilot to the table as a result of my inexperience. All of that being said, Fighters were my bread and butter, as well as deploying my little group of 10 drones, I would like to be able to provide extensive feedback on the changes coming to the new squad system. I'd also like to provide feedback on how these changes would affect wormhole occupying players.

I'm not some veteran and at the same time I'm not a relatively new player, I want to be able to work in this group to give feedback on how the changes will affect players like myself, and somewhat centered on what I'd like to see.

I'd like to sign up for this.

I've got a lot of experience in flying capitals and fighting them (both against them and with them) in higher class Wormhole space, this includes the small scale combat of around 2-5 capitals and also larger scale evictions where anywhere up to 50 capitals might be fielded.. I've also FC'd capital battles before and have been heavily involved with their fittings. I believe these changes will massively shake up the use of capitals in all areas of space and would like CCP to acknowledge the existence of Wormholes with these changes

I am interested in taking part in the focus group.

I have played Eve since 2003 though I only have a small amount of capital experience which might be an issue I am at least familiar with the ships in question. As someone who isn't tied down by the current system of game play or has a must keep feature of the current system in mind, I think I can provide some feedback on the value of the system being introduced.

I really want to make Capitals fun and something that you can bring to any fight!

edit: most of my Capital experience is in C5 WH's.

I like spaceships. I think i could be an asset to the team because i like to watch **** explode. Id love to see some cool new mechanics and introduction of said mechanics to keep the flavor of eve intreseting.


Plus i still have to send you guys a flag i flew over syria.

I'd like to throw my hat into this ring.

I've been playing Eve Online since the days of Red Moon Rising (2006) having fallen in love with Eve after reading a PC gamer mag review of the game in 2004. Back then it was all Freelancer, but I yearned for more. When I finally got a decent internet connection, I downloaded Eve (back then, it was a 500MB download and could be played over dial up speeds) and started up a few characters. At first, I followed the normal trends of game play for newbros... namely mining, missions, accidental PvP.... Ladar harvesting (Myko and Cyto) until I started getting into manufacturing.

Being a lover of big ships in video games, I gravitated towards capital ships in Eve and started manufacturing carriers, dreadnoughts and freighters as far back as 2008. I was not involved in the battles of B-R or Asakai, but I sold caps to all sides during :D

I started this character as a dedicated capital pilot and could fly a dreadnought before I could use tech 2 large guns or microwarp drives. I went through most of the capital taboo phases as well, ratting in dreads and carriers in Tribute and Pure Blind, losing some to PvP and starting the cycle all over again. I ran anomalies, participated in big fleets (at the time) and used them for logistics (moving assets back and forth). Where as most players play Eve to blow up space ships or participate in role-playing, I dedicated my Eve life to accumulating isk to blow on capital ships, to fly or just ship spin. I prided myself in hoping to be one of a handful of people who could amass enough wealth outside of large alliances or powerblocs to afford super capitals. And I'd like to think I've achieved that.

During this 8 year capital phaze of my Eve career, I branched off into many other activities, most notably PI and started posting some of my ideas on how to expand PI in a few F&I topics... the largest discussion of which manifested in the planetary interaction 2.1 topic posted back in 2012. Since those days, I've amassed enough isk to buy a titan which, regrettably, only sees action on the test server whenever a mirror is made. Be that as it may, I've hosted a number of TQ hot drop fleets in & for alliances that include, but are not limited to:
1) Stark Enterprises
2) Circle of Two
3) Goonswarm
4) This isn't going to end well
5) The Bastards
6) Cruisers Cr3w

While it was still a thing, I loved flying my Skynet carriers in Syndicate. I'd bubble gates with 2 interceptor alts and sat on a station with my carrier, pewing my Friday and Saturday nights away, blowing up singular or small groups of entitled sub cap pilots who'd provide rage content in local and thanking god for the fun I was having. Alas. Since those days, my carrier life has been reduced to slowcats and my dreads were mothballed.

I have also sieged a number of towers pre-Dominion, sieged a few I-hubs post Dominion and RFed numerous POCOs with carriers in Syndicate CAS fleets. I am infamous for bringing carriers to guardian parties with Castabout gangs.

I strongly believe capitals and super capitals are under developed in Eve Online and could be made cool again, without dominating the class meta battles between sub caps, capitals and supers. That being said, I feel that the existing sub capital meta needs a kick in the nads and we need to empower capitals to engage sub caps and supers effectively, while serving as the lynch pin class for tackling and engaging supers. Ensuring sub caps need capitals to engage supers, will ensure capitals have a role outside of structure bashing.

Hi as a former Fc in black legion i got experience using bother dreads and triage against extremely large numbers and at a smaller level.
i have FCed everything from Dread bombs onto titan groups to mass triage to tank large fleets of sub capitals.
i currently use small groups of capitals(20 max) to RF towers and to fight against other groups using similar capital numbers.

I hope im not to late to this party.

I would very much like to throw my experience into the ring with this capital focus group.

I have played eve since 2004 and have great experience with all means of capital warfare from solo hot dropping to fcing NCDOT's super-capital fleets (even when it went badly). My primary focus in eve is and will always be capital warfare. I am well known in my corp and alliance for my capital knowledge and ability to field dozens of supers/titans at anytime. I am excited about the changes but i would certainly like to be part of the discussion.

ill volunteer.

used all varieties of capitals since 2012 (carrier, dread, mother ship and titan)

mostly in the low-sec/0.0 pvp and pve roles

have been involved in both slowcat and triage fleet roles

have used capitals in wormhole escalations once or twice.

feel i can help represent the low-sec aspect of the game rather well.

fly safe o7

Hello,

I’d like to take part in this Focus Group.

I have great experience in flying super caps and capitals. The first cap I bought was Thanatos in 2011 and by now I have nearly every capital and super among which are 5 titans. Since owning my first titan I DD’ed really a lot of carriers and dreads. Moreover I do not only use them for solo or small-scale PvP, but also I’m FC for super caps of our coalition and previous FC of Solar Fleet.

I'd like to volunteer as a tribute !

on a side note...
I'd like to represent the fun part of the capital gameplay. How you are planning to make everything. Skills, how will they be transitioned to the force aux ships and all of that. I know how capitals works. flow supers and capitals and dreads. not all on the same pilot though. Died in triage and died in siege.

I'd like to help focusing on the unknown part to people by asking that one question that will make people think about what they are seeing. That one dumb question that escape everyone !
in any case I'm the 99% ! so you want me in :P
