EVE General Discussion

Simple fix for casuals/solo-ers:

Looking For Fleet (aka LFG) should have some sort of bonus, whether it be straight up bonus ISK while on a mission or something similar to LPs...hell, maybe even LPs; that way you don't have to group to get items.

What would be nice is if they'd implement Dust 514 into EVE, and let players do "Hot Drops" into battle matches similar to a Halo match...just something to do when you're bored of playing solo, but don't want the "YOU ******* X-UP OR CORP-KICK!" that tends to come with active corps.

Everyone gets the same rules no matter how often you play, keep it that way.

As for needing to dedicate 8 hours a day.. No. I ceo a very successful nullsec pvp corp and I only play a couple of hours 4 to 6 times a week. Its about playing smart, not playing hard.

I really don't want to be forced to join a bunch of guys I don't know that might take all my stuff because they can.
I rather invest time and money and effort in building something nice with friends, that in turn can offcourse can be taken away by other guys, because they can. I don't see the problem here, your complaining about a possible influx in 0.0 targets?



Numbers are important in a fight, no doubt. But some kind of tactics besides the blob would be nice. Besides numbers aren't always important. Caesars fight against Pompey had 500 cavalry facing 5000, the 500 defeated the blob of 5000 which was released as one handely and handed the fight to caesar.

Another victory that comes to mind are the victory at salamis where a big persian fleet was forced to fight a nimble greek fleet in an inlet and the defeat that was a victory of Thermoplaye. Or you can take Cannae as an example on how to kill a blob.

On the other hand there are plenty of examples of numbers winning the day (Russia (WWII), France (Napoleon), WWI, etc). A balance should be struck there, but it should be a balance, not a one sided idea of numbers = win



EVE isn't a game that is "intended" to be anything. You can do what you want CCP gives options. The options should be clearly free of any kind of "idea" how to play the game. Hence, sandbox.

You shouldn't be forced to join a 5000+ alliance
You shouldn't be forced to have fleetfights of 2000+

We should be able to make a living and fun hanging out in smaller groups and friends
We should be able to have fights of significance with small, medium and larger fleets under 500 ships and win against large groups because of tactics. (see latest clarion call for excellent fitting during fight options)

We should be able to have large meaningful 5000+ alliances
We should have meaningful fleet fights of 2000+




We should always, always, discuss.

I was going to quote the same thing, so I'll settle for quoting you quoting the same thing.



Note to self: Stop posting in a masternerdguy thread.

I know it's just another attempt at humour from the OP but this time it's actually mildly amusing.

I am a solo player and have absolutely zero interest in any of the things stated in the original post B)

**BUZZER** What is NPC 0.0?

Its funny how the anti-roleplay people have a difficult time seperating the game from reality.

Just some general tips:

1) If you are posting on these boards about a computer game called EVE you are not "in the game."

2) If you show up publicly as a real person, at a real event and talk about eve mails you received which address a persons real life issues, you are not "in game."

If your character tells my character to go kill himself then you shouldn't be banned. But it needs to be clear from the context that your character is telling my character to kill himself. Since we are currently on a computer game forum talking about possible changes to a computer game it would be hard to see how you could claim its your character talking. (see number 1 above.)

However if you are in the game and you see my characters ship jump through a gate and say "kill Cearain in the merlin" Or even just "kill him" or even post in local "you're gonna die" its easy to see you mean that in game.

Yes there may be cases where its not so clear from the context. But it seems the anti-roleplay crowd often don't understand even the easy cases.

You forgot about the whole "I don't want my fleet gang banged by 10 Titans, so please nerf supers so my rifter can get sum" dimension.

i think the whole point of a dueling system is to have ships lit on fire...

though ccp already said they are working on a dueling system by enhancing the mutual war dec system via the merc market...

My day job involves working in a team, they're a bunch of useless gits if not pushed TBH, so why would I want to repeat the experience in something I do for fun?. In game I'm my own boss, I do what I want, when I want and as little or as much as I want.

I don't moan about getting ganked, I don't tell people that don't play the way I play that they're doing it wrong (looks at certain hi-sec professions) and above all I'm not out to ruin the game, if my play style ruins your game by being different then I have a suitably watertight container ready for filling
