Player Features and Ideas Discussion

y?

Not sure about eve players not willing to blow things up only to show off.

If this moon is powerful enough it could lead to enormous fight over weaks and even month.
Since this structure would manifest your home system. And couldn't withstand a singe for quite long.
And of course the build should be ridicules im time and and cost.
You want some high end home base pay for it. If you lose it see 1000 plex going down the drain.

Bigger=better.
My girlfriend told me this.

Also I did downscale already my first thought was planet size

like what? you proposed the idea so whats your thoughts?

Make moons the only place you could build titans anf make them dockable.
Many some defensive structures that fit in the moons orbit and share the power cpu cap and fule consumption.
Ech structure in orbit requires a player to be active

But. Why. Would. You. Bother?

Let me clarify for the benefit of OP. To build something the volume of a moon you would need 18.25 *trillion* Charon loads of material.

Someone would have to check with Red Frog or CCP but I'm pretty sure that's more trips than have ever been made by Freighter in the Eve universe to this date given that it would take 10,000 players at 2 hours per trip 416 THOUSAND YEARS to transport that much material.

OP, your idea is ridiculous and adds nothing of value. It doesn't even add a ridiculous but semi-realistic long term target to shoot for, it's just complete and utter ridiculousness.

Actually some people do find mining and industry fun.

Some people find it relaxing.
Some people just enjoy building things themselves.
Some people just want to fly a spaceship but don't want the faster pace required of shooting things.

There are lots of reasons people might enjoy mining, even if you're not one of those people.

There is no reason I can imagine that someone might enjoy the idea of a moon you couldn't build in several lifetimes of gameplay.

Also you're making a lot of claims there with no support, like about how any of this would be good gameplay or fills any sort of niche. We already have the Keepstar and the Palatine above that as high-end achievable. Your idea here doesn't offer anything those don't already offer.

"Because why not" is not ever a reason to spend dev time on something.

Also you just literally said "realistic" and "Titan" in the same sentence. Wut.

shut up and stop getting aggressive

"But it would add another layer!" isn't a reason for anything. Heck, "it would add more X" isn't a reason for anything, you need a more compelling reason than that. What niche does it fill that isn't being met, in this specific case what does this offer that a Keepstar doesn't already? What is this going to drive besides "look, another big thing!"

Also the idea that you would build a moon and then mine it for stuff that you didn't put into it makes literally no sense. The idea with PI and Moon Mining is that these are resources found on the moons/planets. If you built one you would have to put that stuff there.

Also the ability to blow up moons would make a wreck of the Eve economy in pretty short order, which would make many ships and modules inaccessible, which would be generally bad for the game.

Also bookmarks aren't done in relation to a planet, most bookmarks are around gates and stations.

Also if you're now talking about blowing up or changing existing planets your idea becomes basically technically infeasible. Planets, moons, and other celestials aren't coded dynamically, they're static data in the database and aren't designed to be ever changed, that's why planets and moons don't orbit. CCP would have to rework a ton of very very baseline code to make this work.
