Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Well I dont want to down grade it all the way down to a corporation thats what oddball ships the ORCA are for which is still mostly ORE and not DMC.

From the looks of it though there are ALOT of companies involved in dust including DMC with thier effing assault mining laser.

I am going bakc though the entire idea moving things around and pushing all the details to the end sections. So bear with me, right now trying to finish drawing the oberon. its turning out perty okay at the moment.

Opened thread, started reading post 1, 7 minutes 8 seconds later, got tired, skipped it over and made this post.

Sorry I have been busy elsewhere doing this and that, working on a mk 2 thanatos as well.

New things comming up

Thukker's will be getting a gas miner ship as thier 'industrial ship'

SOE ships will get a swiss army knife for thier industiral with bonses for analzyers code breakers and salvagers and probe laucnher.

Mordus would get an 'arhceaology' ship thats more focused on yeild instead of power conservation.

SOE Urania Intercpetion Nullifier Navigation subsystem
Will be nerfed to disallow fitting of microwarp drives the system is not compatable with it. Speed of it will also be nerfed a bit more.

Thukker capitol ships are realized HOWEVER since they're offspec industry I felt it was unfiar to give them capitols while denying Mordus thier capitol ships I need to sit down and brainstorm what would a capitol hacking ship do?

The Hummer as its been nicknamed for the modus is being built and final construction was in the the process still but with the thanatos in the yard I have to get that constructed first since thats a paid job.

More extensive ORE section will be added maybe.

I still need to bring up the Research Point store.

Revision I see stopped at the end of hacking and that was for grammer only, Ill need to sweep salvaging and ore for that and ill go back and rehammer the hacking and salvaging to be a bit more concise.

Appendixes oh my I got alot of them to make still for additional infomrfation.

I need to redo the analzyer and data streaming analzyer modules.

Generate icons for all modules.

Get the tech 2 paint jobs done.

Engineer everyones stats

build the 4 empire survey ships.

Ah just long list of things I need to get done, either way I do enjoy any feedback question and critism.

Kudos for the effort, and I haven't read it all, but I'd like to start adding some feedback.

Hacking:

Great idea, but I'd like to offer some suggestions. I think that having individual firewalls for all the possible targets is a bit too complex. For instance, rather than having a skill firewall, and a ship design firewall, and a wallet firewall, it may be enough to just have a player firewall. Assuming a successful hack of the player firewall, the hacker recieves a bit of information at random (or weighted by specific hacking skills) from the pool of targets protected by the firewall. If the information isn't of the type desired, the hacker must try again. Also, I think the notepad whould be removed from possible targets just because it is so easy to diplicate that functrionality with out of game tools. I think people would stop using the in-game notepad in faver of OS versions if they knew it could be the target of hacking.


Salvaging/Garbage:

I think one should be careful about the ammo aspect of this that you suggest. Eve is a very min/max oriented game, so youy really run the risk of having useless ammo or over powered ammo. I really think the idea of false-positives for scanning (probes or directional) is an excellent idea. In fact I think Eve could benefit with a bit more gray around the ability to gather data in nearly all cases.

One general thing that would help me conceptualize your ideas would be a sort-of schematic or flowchart that would lay out how the components/skills and modules relate to each other. I think it'd be easier, then, to see where there might be a game breaking oversight.

I'll post more as I read more.

Sir, This is complete and utter win. Honestly this is what I hoped Hacking, Archaeology, and the other mini professions would be. Props to you sir!(Once Again)

You sir, are very bored.

if you're including a mining overhaul with this idea, please consider some of the ideas listed in this thread such as:

I mulled over what flette said and I have to agree the entire thing is a bit too.... convulted.
Less in the interface more into the tools I say.

To do this I will have to go with the port system. This will centralize defense software, and expodentially expand the offensive warfare suits. To make things more concise Ill will merge the warheads into the software like how there various thermal missiles so that port attacks are named and thier methood of entry will be the detractor.

Well I think I got the finalized concept for the empire survey frigates drawn out Im still iffy on the amarrian one.

I am going to be bouncing the empire survey ships off the mining frigates since these also dont have tech 2 variants yet and it should be useful enough to warrent tier 2 in training levels. It would be a early use frgiate and a free one to teach about the remade salvaging and hacking.

I think they are playing the waiting game if they been paying attention been looking for some negative feedback to feed off of but I havent seen any in a while.
