1. Dev's, PLEASE make the Porpoise look unique! It deserves its own model so that it is similar to a mini Orca. The model currently being used is terrible and the color sucks as well.

2. PLEASE consider making an alternate Bowhead that ships only reprocessed ORE! Such an awesome model and I want to fly one, but not just to move ships. I feel like the game lacks industrial ships like "barges" for pushing ORE. What about a space eighteen wheeler, an ORE Peterbilt or Scania type space truck for haulers and miners. "Man! Where do these dumb ass people come from, ever heard of Charon, Fenrir, Providence and Obelisk???? Stupid ass!" Bash away, PLEASE!

3. So, why can we not tow wrecked ships back to station where we can slowly rebuild them back to full health? Wait, let me say what every one else is gonna say, "What a ******! that's what salvage drones are for!" , "What a dumb ass, BP's derp!" , "Don't you even EVE Bro!" , "Ugh last I checked ships go BOOM!" Go ahead and bash, but I would like to see the feature of being able to scan down ships that have been wrecked and be able to drag it back to a station, The we could have a specialized ship that is a "Wrecker" in a sense. Corps could haul back obliterated super carries and rebuild with the structure at say 15% or whatever. "GAWD, what an idiot!" I could see it now, a wrecker chip dragging a wreck through jump gates!

4. HIGH SEC GAS SITES!!!!!! "Jeeeezuz, if you want gas go to null or low sec you effin care bear!"

5. What about mining space particulates, space dust? Say i.e., "Radium", you use the gas harvesters or a new "DUST" harvester to collect a hull full, then you compress it into a specific block. The it can be reprocessed for minerals or for particulates to be used in manufacturing. "Seriously! Just shut the F*&k up!" Bash... I think it give some folks who don't want to mine gas, "You mean BALLZ!" , to have another option to use a venture and gas modules. New company name for this feature could be "PATEK" stands for Particulate Mining Technology., "PMT Harvester".

More to come as I think of it.

1 it looks great

2 you want a rorq

You want to haul minerals, use a Kryos or a freighter. You want to haul uncompressed ore, use a Miasmos or a freighter. You want to haul compressed ore, use a Prospect or Skiff.

Insurance fraud. If it's significantly cheaper to rebuild a ship from a wreck than from scratch, people will destroy insured ships to collect the insurance, then rebuild them so they can destroy them again. If it isn't significantly cheaper, no one will bother with it.

High-sec already has gas sites. Mykoserocins can be found in high-sec and low-sec.

That's what "gas" in EVE actually is. Gas clouds are actually clouds of dust.

To add to this... it would cut into revenues of ship production, mining, and industry in general.

Yeah... salvaging a ship is a no-go.


For the rest of it:

1a. Purely subjective. I think it is fine.

2a. There are other ships that can already do this. Regular Industrial ships, Deep Space Transports, the Orca, etc.
You do not need a hyper specialist ship for every little thing.


4a. Why? If you want to make more money, go out and take some risks. There needs to be something to entice people to leave the safety of high-sec.

5a. Why? Mining already produces a glut of minerals. Why would you want to devalue them by creating more avenues to harvest them?

You seem to have already decided that your ideas are brilliant and everyone who disagrees is a nasty troll. This is a state of mind not conducive to discussion and I hope you change.
1. I don't really care too much about ship models. As long as it does what I need to do I'll fly it.
2. We already have a specialized mineral hauler, and large general haulers. Also, ship compressed ore and refine it on-site, problem solved.
3. Yes, let's give the winning side of a capital battle a bunch more capitals at free or cheap prices. I'm sure that won't torpedo the game balance at all.
4. Already there.
5. Why?

I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

Your first idea was good. Fully supported. The Porpoise deserves a unique model.

The rest of your ideas are not good.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.
