EVE General Discussion

Delete ecm and let the solo and small gangs run free and far never having to get a blob together unless theres a blob to fight :)

If this thread was made a few days ago, I would've said "remove the tier system," but since that's already being done...

Just make inferno come out sooner?

How do you propose to make mining more fun? Whack-An-Asteroid minigame? Why not just make it more fun client-side (with alcohol and narcotics for example) or better yet why not find an activity you do find fun and stick with that instead?

Let the IGB use flash/java.

Player based economy, the only ways to make mining more profitable is either to increase the requirement for ore or decrease the supply.
Unfortunatly, if you do this more people will come and mine so it'll ballance out.

Mining isn't supposed to be fun or profitable, it's the starter skill, that everyone can do, some just don't realise this.


This would not help new players as much as you think it would.
You know, given huge alliances have way more isk than you and could (and probably would) buy high specialist high sp characters incredibly easily.

Plus, SP you've not put lots of thought into tends to get wasted.
I apprecieate the month I waited for BS5 alot more than the free sp I got from learning skills that I spend on Jump drive cal 5

I fall for most things, I'm not very good at eve

This is on its way I believe.

My ship-splosion and revamp idea in conjunction with some of the original concepts CCP had for changing the ship trees, which not only makes the game more player retentive by giving newbs more meaningful ships early on as well as bringing back small gang warfare by giving every ship size it's own logi ship to play with so that you can run smaller fleets without needing to find 2+ people that have perfect logi skills.

The new logi break down will make it more accessible then 5 months of training for the current logi ships, T2 will still be better, but T1 logi ships will make being one way more accessible thus allowing pretty much anyone with some RR skills the ability to do a decent job for a cheap small gang of frigs or cruisers =D

Oh and for kicks, here's another new idea I hadn't made in that post:

New indy size variations...
Remove the indy skills as we know them now and make them into generic skills like BC and dessy. The new line up of industrial will be done based on ship size and will have better cargo space accordingly.
The "frigate" indsutrial should be flyable by trial accounts and only carry maybe 1,000m3 or so.

destroyer indies can hold 5,000
crusier indies can hold 10,000
BC indies can hold 50,000
BS indies can hold 100,000

and then you finally have a way for the tree to lead right into the freighters

Each of these new sizes will of course have their own T2 variations, one BR and one DST that require that ship size racial skill at 5 as well as the indy skill at 5

example of a BC sized indy for amarr:
Requires:
*Amarr Battlecruiser 1
---Amarr Cruiser 4
------Amarr Destroyer 4
---------Amarr Frigate 4
*Industrial 1
---Industry 4

T2 version of the ship:
*Amarr Battlecruiser 5
---Amarr Cruiser 4
------Amarr Destroyer 4
---------Amarr Frigate 4
*Industrial Ship 5
---Industry 4
*Transport Ships 1
---Spaceship Command 3
---Industry 5


....okay on second thought remove their association with the combat ship size skill and make a new set of skills for each one small, small improved, medium, medium improved, and large

expecting people to train the combat version of the ship sizes would suck for them and be messy for reimbursement upon implementation of a system like this...but you get the idea...

Two words; Ship Spinning.
