Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Sniping a station out from under someone would be hilarious.

I love this totally brand new idea!

Seriously though, it's getting too much, there should be far fewer stations in nullsec than there are now and its getting worse all the time. The whole system needs to be replaced with a new modular system that encompasses both stations and pos's, adds an ACL right system, more options, and more ways for smaller gangs to harass enemy targets.

Why should there be tears though seriously? Even now it's a bad idea to keep all your assets in a nullsec station as if you loose control of it you would have to firesale or reconquer to get any value back out.

The bolded and underlined part is what I would assume would cause tears, since it would be totally unexpected and likely to occur without a single shot fired or potentially not even at a time of war.

That-- is why tears would be had.

you know, that thing other than sitting 50 titans on a station until it hits reinforced or you capture it...

You know what? I immediately thought this would be an awful idea since no one in 0.0 space would be able to dock if they're up against a vastly superior force.

However, this would actually send gankers running back to high sec and would make gatecamping by people who just want to gank solo players fruitless, why? It would mean whenever people try to fight back they wouldn't be able to immediately warp away and station dock if you chase after them. I do think though that for the sake of game replayability high sec should remain the same, but if 0.0 space stations can be destroyed, even NPC ones, you should have them on a reasonably fast respawn time, say half an hour or an hour.

One thing you could also do with this is take inspiration from Freelancer, that game had it where you could blow up storage canisters next to a factions station and you could grab the loot and make a run for it, I think something similar should be put in or when you blow up the station you have typical jet can cargo containers filled with whatever items per player that they were carrying.

This is actually a brilliant idea that would make 0.0 alliances feel a lot less safe if they're on the receiving end of an attack, it would also mean that them hoarding tons of ships would be absolutely useless if you could just come and wreck it all. This is going to be far more damaging to gankers and 0.0 alliances than anyone else so I really approve of this. You would also have a way to damage their infrastructure because if you can make a hit and run attack on one of their stations and steal their ships then they'll have a lot less to hit you back with.

Now if only we could turn this around so EVE has equal PvP that isn't just a giant rock/paper/scissors game then it would be perfect.

Well it's not as if we can do mission running for the pirate factions with all the gankers around anyway so I say it's a worthy sacrifice if it means the assholes actually have to take some losses once in awhile.

Where do you think all those Dramiels on the Jita market come from?

Looks OK but I'd remove the "No Sov" requirement.

Make it harder to destroy/wreck if there is sov. However if someone has taken sov from the previous alliance its extremely unlikely they would then wreck the outpost. I suppose the sov losers may decide on a "scorched space" policy but otherwise it'd be business as usual.

Apart from that it should be done. Sooner than soon too

lol wut

i dont understand how this will not make ppl leave null.
alot of null is just empty systems.
if stations would have been destructable and something like branch would happen and 52 stations would be blown up all assets destroyed.


who in their right mind would even use the effort to restart? why bother?
