Player Features and Ideas Discussion

>telling Trump he needs more diversity

1) The new race looks like "Reptiloids" (organic) - Types of ships respectively look like organic. The weapon is analogous - organic. The damage type is acid / organic. Attitudes towards the human race are inherently hostile. Creating a character for this new race, the player and other players who created the character for the new race - will start all over again. It will be a great variety. Territories will be isolated from New Eden, but there will be an opportunity in some way to fall into one or another race in hostile territories ... how exactly? I do not know, I need to come up with this.
2) The new race looks like aliens from the "War of the Worlds" of Herbert Wells (approximately the same or standard) - Ships look technologically advanced. The weapons I suggested earlier are a spherical energy cluster and so on. So it is with a new kind of damage. Attitude towards the human race is neutral. Players of all races can interact with each other without any restrictions (but also not interesting).

1 and 2 sections in the issue of relationships do not have to be as described. "Reptiloids" may not be aggressive and "standard" aliens can be aggressive. Or both are aggressive. Or both are not aggressive.
I can not offer anything concrete in this regard, it needs imagination and is no longer mine.

And by the way, for newcomers there must be new territories of their residence. At least one region.

What about redundancy?

What you want and what you need are entirely different things.

I want a pony, doesn't mean that I need one, or that I'm going to get one.

Like so many suggestions posted here, there's still no detail.

It's just "we want new stuff"

So what do you want exactly?

"New ships, race and modules with new damage"

Ok, but what exactly? What new damage type?

"New stuff. We want new stuff"

Here, I painted already in more detail

If we're talking about playable races... I can't see how it would work without opening new space.

There's so much development that's gone into the interaction between the four factions that I can't see how adding a fifth would work and still maintain play balance. Most of the other factions are all based in low or null sec and are all "enemies". To be a Gurrista... how'd that work? You're hunted in high-sec but safe in Venal? I just can't see how the existing non-high sec factions would work.

I could see a new section of space that opened up thanks to something like a new eve-gate that connected to other "peaceful" high security type empires that were previously disconnected. But I'm not really sure the game is in a situation where it would need more space... so I'm not sure we need more races to play.

The problem is the background.

You could set up gameplay so that it would work. I could say "Look... here's a new race. I'm going to give them these 20 systems and create their standings relations to the other factions in this manner."

But how do you explain that with the source material? We know why Caldari and Gallente hate each other. Same goes for Amarr and Minmatar. We know how the various pirate factions interact with the empire. That was all crafted before the first day of Eve as a game. How do you insert a new group into that?

The answer... they have to be discovered... which means opening a new section of space. I don't see Eve growing in size at the moment.


I suppose you could come up with some sort of Sci-fi suggestion where a few systems get disconnected from eve for a few months with a story about odd space clouds surrounding them... then some super-magic-space-wormhole thing causes those systems to get switched with a section of space from another galaxy controlled by aliens (or a new human faction).
