1. Game balance. Get the ships roughly equal. Fix the Maelstrom (Yes I fly minnie ships). Develop the flavour as to how each race fights. Admit you got it wrong with fleet warfare and range and reverse the shortening of ranges so that we all don't become Titan fodder. I want someone to explain to me how the Minmitar race ever managed to escape the clutches of the Amarr slave masters post Kali 1 given that Amarr outnumber them 10 to 1 and with the artillery nerf Minnie ships no longer massively outdamage them. Nerfing artillery was the silliest thing for game diversity I have seen. Now everyone is the same; Big tank get close and blast away. And when someone comes up with an innovative idea it gets nerfed - just look at the nanophoon - as soon as it becomes popular - CCP says its too powerful and will be nerfed. Having flown one and lost it to a pack of inties I don't think so. With your recent changes you are getting rid of diversity.

2. Introduce the ORE capital ship urgently. I hate seeing capital warfare ships with cargo expanders. Its stupid and demeaning. Allow freighters to dock with POSes.

3. Fleet warfare. Lag. Nuff said.

4. Stealth bombers that can ecm burst while cloaked would be so cool. But its an I WIN tactical button that will destroy fleet warfare. And you can say what you like - YOU created fleet warfare.

5. Tier 2 Dreadnoughts that are designed to kill capital ships.

6. Professions. Ignore the crap about having level 5 skills. A profession is a speciality; if you really want it to work make people earn it. Then make sure its lucrative so that someone who has spent a month learning to scan everything down can find some great complexes for it. Introduce speciality ships for archeology, scanning and scavenging.

7. T2 BPO's. You have got yourself into a right mess here. Unless you change all current T2 bpo's into limited run bpc's then you have just entrenched the powerful. Trouble is; people paid serious isk for those BPO's so doing this will harm them. Of course, an alternative is to make a once only buyback offer for those BPO's and then replace them with limited run BPC's. Personally, I would make hacking and reverse engineering far more viable. It should be much easier to reverse engineer a Vagabond into a limited run inefficient bpc than to invent it.

8. Encourage exploration - as soon as corp standings reach a point this should trigger an exploration event.

9. Plexes. Make all plexes wander. Stop the isk farming, which is the domain of the big alliances.

10. Station warfare. Introduce a sovreignty POS for system/constellation warfare.

PVP has enough attention. PVe then focus on planetary and jove and factional warfare

1. Fix Drone UI, Allow us to place it where we want.

2. Fix contracts.

3. Fix the Marketplace: Make market jump range based instead of region based, it makes no sense of not knowing what is in the system next door. Give ALL items market slots so they can be traded on the market. Create BPC marketplace.

4. Stop the abuse of the NPC corps, the game design was to have people join a real corp asap. Limit amount of time in NPC corp/Implement freelancer corps/Link amount of time in NPC corp to tax the pay. NPC corps are not meant to be a safe heaven from wars, alt galore and whatever more they are abused for.

5. Make Vivox stay alive when node/client crashes. Add G15 support.

6. Create stock market.

7. Stop zerging.

8. Speed up skill training (change all level 5 requirements to level 4). Allow us to use the games content through one account within 2 years instead of 16.
Give us skill queing.

9. Immersion, I hate being a static jpg.

10. DoNOT remove local (it will kill 0.0 ratting and mining and be nothing but a gankers wet dream without reasonable counter).

1. More attention to non-combat parts of the game and inject more civilian roles.

2. Variety in missions, they are currently too repetetive.

3. Reduce standings requirement for JC's. Some don't venture into 0.0/lowsec due to expensive implants but it takes forever to get enough standing for a JC. Item 2 is the main cause for many players getting too bored with missions and never reaching the standing required.

4. SPOS... When

5. Help for noob and solo miners by way of an alternative to jetcan mining. (Not my own thread but I like the idea).

6. Nice touch with the Tier3 BS's and Tier2 BC's but lets have more variety in future rather than recycling existing hulls as T2 variants.

7. The ability to send up to two ships somewhere while the player escorts them.

8. More speed/agility for mining barges. They are practically unarmed except for drones and make for an easy target since they take forever to get up to warp speed. This would make solo ninja mining in lowsec more viable with a barge. Players often don't bother ninja mining with cruisers or frigs due to the cargo limitations and low yield of mining lasers. It would get more players into lowsec.

9. The ability to remove the nebulae background and have just black. I don't mind since it relieves the boredom but it can interfere with the UI at times. Others have said they would prefer to have it permanently switched off. For those with low spec graphics cards, this would also be helpful.

10. Can't think of anything else right now...

Yes I'm hardcore Carebear).
This is the ONE reason I stopped playing for nearly two years. I love the base premise of this game, I embrace the complexities and massive economic structure. I can cope with the RATs and heavy duty missions, but I am a 'mature gamer' who just hates the whole ganker mentality. I would love to go exploring and mining more in deep 0.0 space, but everytime I do this, I end up getting ambushed and ganked by a gang of lowlifes who are so deep into negsec that they have literally nothing to lose. Let them gank people who are willing to play that... let the rewards be higher if you are opted in to Pvp... heck even mark my ship with pink carebear stickers... I really don't care.

Just leave me alone and let me play my weaksauce, noobish, non-l33t PvE game and bother somebody else. I guarantee you that I am not the only one who feels this way.

my 1 thing I wish to be looked into, are greifer alliances that have MANY empire wars, which they let their own corps leave their alliance, so thet can recover isk/ships while keeping the declared allince under attack. While refusing to even enter low sec to fight (ala the Privateer Allince cowards)

Posted - 2007.03.03 11:04:00 - [224]

 

1.) Standing increases for all pilots in a gang when a mission is run
2.) Rewards split for all pilots running missions in gangs
3.) Invention fixes and tweaks
4.) Exploration fixes and tweaks
5.) More T1
6.) EW BS's for all races
7.) Stealth Bomber fix/change
8.) CCP Story line movies
9.) Skill queues or dual skill training with time split
10.) Skill changing via the website or with a standalone tool

Posted - 2007.03.03 11:25:00 - [226]

 

1. Drone AI and UI. would be nice to put out some medium drones and to tell them to only attack cruisers for example. would be nice as well if they attack what they are assigned to and not what they like.
2. divisional wallets
3. pos micromanagement. do everything in one place for all structures. pos assets should be viewable in the corp/assets-tab so you don't have to go to a pos to see whether a item is there or not.
4. freighter at the pos. maybe with the introduction of a small-sized freighter between those available and the industrials.
5. standing required for empire pos are somewhat weird. i established an empire pos since i've grinded enough standings, but if i want to put up another one or upgrade the existing i would have to throw out all corp members with low faction standings (at least for a week or two) or found a new corp... maybe ceo's personaly faction standings should count here.
6. lottery OUT. invention is fine - but must be easier to achive.
7. make all t1 bpos available on the npc market and in empire. scattered around as they are is fine. i especially think of barges, strip miners and containers (for use at outposts/pos).
8. exploration done easier. i like the idea posted here: no more static roid-belts but be able to find some low-grade belts with low skills
9. skill queue. and if it is only for a second skill to start when the primary is done.
10. LP-shops. corp based. not per agent.

Posted - 2007.03.03 12:33:00 - [228]

 

1. Better warp transistions as in no freezing when loading up rats or soemthign when warping in = smooth.
2. Factional Warfare
3. Better scenery and tactical enviroments *hiding in asteroid belts or somehting*
4. Fix lag issues with big battles dont just split up the fleets.
5. Better tutorial it tends to be very bland boring and slow for new players * its not bad it just lacks action and excitment.
6. Better graphics *vista and great more animations more realistic ship turning better explosions bullet contrails ect*
7. Walking in stations! *but make it important not just for looks and realistic*
8. More fiction and stories. Or make a chronicle of eve history.
9. Make mining more interactive and fun.
10. Increase profitability and fun of ganging- Increase sizze and importance of 0.0 pvp battles and make the world more dynamic interms of terrtory and ownership of systems.
9.

1) Hotkeys - the UI is very mouse-driven. With the exception of mods (which already have assigned hotkeys), there isn't any way to hotkey other popular actions(such as drone engage, target next closest hostile, target next closest gang/fleet member).

2) Gang/Fleet UI - Divorce this from the Target overview, make it it's own window. Make it clear which/who Leadership bonuses are being applied, and let commanders drag/drop members to different wings/squads

3) Drone UI - Divorce this from the Target overview, make it it's own window. Make drone groups more friendly to use

4) Station Inventory Management - allow production/market/contracts/assets to "see" inside containers (or open containers), so that you no longer have to drag all the items outside of neatly organized containers just to start a production job, or put on the market.

5) Drag n Drop - dragging an item onto a container icon should "drop" the item inside the container without having to open up the container (assuming you have access to).

6) Insta-Lag Death - there is nothing worse than zoning into a new room on a mission, seeing your overview light up light a christmas tree, then being unable to do anything for about 10 seconds... only to find once you are able to move your already at 0 shield, 40% armor, and popped before you can even line up for warp.

7) Better transition between high/low/0 sec via agents - right now, there isn't enough of a drive to push people out into the lawless areas of space. It's obvious the bulk of the game occurs out in 0.0, but it's very possible for a person to stay in high-sec for years and never have to step foot into 0.0 space. Make jumpclones more accessable (lower the rep requirement). Move most of the L3 agents to low sec. Move all L4+ agents to low/0 sec. Give players a bigger reason to migrate towards 0.0 as they progress in the game - and agents are one logical way to help promote this.

8) Encourage/revamp "remote" mods - items such as remote reppers/transfer arrays/tracking links. These are great ways that people can gang together with unequal skills (a starting player with their first cruiser helping out a corpmate with their battleship in a L4/DED complex, for instance). There are ships with great ship bonuses for these items, but the transfer range is extremely limiting (~5km for most) - maybe add to the Skill required for use a range-increasing modifier to at least get the host ships out of range of anti-blob weaponry (smartbombs) and room for some defense (ie. defender missles vs FoF fire). Increase the range out some, either base for the mod, as a ship bonus modifier, or as part of the required skill for using the mod. Another good idea would be to scale the effect inversely to the distance, or scale the effect to the capabilities of the host ship (ie: a cruiser could provide a better tracking link than a frigate).

9) High-sec thievery - It's great that Concord is there to protect you, and it's equally great that the UI alerts you when you get stolen from, but it's unfair that you get penalized for protecting your own assets. 2 additional larger sizes in secure containers would help (perhaps a freakin giant 6km3/7.8km3 capacity, and a insanely giant 12km3/15.6km3 capacity can - just for example), but not entirely solve the problem (and may cause other problems to be honest). Having Concord just target thieves isn't the answer either, since some people ask permission for looting/salvaging wrecks, giving a player kill rights on thieves would let them retaliate without having to worry about Concord busting them just for protecting what is theirs to being with.

10) Miscellaneous interface glitches - tractor beam graphics always start firing at some odd angle, clicking "Show Info" on an empty mod slot will infintely load a blank window, selecting an item from the Target Overview when a ship/item is destroyed or changes position via sort order will sometimes change your selection, etc.

1. Make more and even more powerful rats spawn in highsec from 0.9 to 0.5.

2. Extinguish roid belts in 1.0 and 0.9 systems and let the rest of the belts in other systems have those roids.

3. Make combat pvp consensual. Not listening to what the pirate forum whiners say. *eg* Carebears have their right on existance too.

4. Introduce some sort of faster travelling like jumpdrives on frigates. Its more than annoying to be urged to travel lots of jumps just for being able to gang up with friends. Maybe let the gangleader do some "magic" calling gangmembers to where he is located.

5. Asteroid habitats for players. Placed only in systems with no stations. Maybe even placeable by players. So they have a place where to store ores without a station and still have to transport them to a station for refining.

6. Make client multithreaded for reducing clientside lags if that not allready happened. More and more people will have multicore machines. And even on singlecore machines multithreading provides advantages.

7. Fix that allready long know bugs.

8. Let there be a possibility to get skillqueues. Not just if skill a level b runs out you're urged to log in and have to start another one but if skill runs out start next level automagically as long as the bugger is paying us money. ;-) Maybe let skills be startable from the My Character webpage if thats an option.

9. For nano'bs: just make 100NM AB's and 100NM MWD's consume 10 times (or whatever you think is an ok ammount) the cap they would need without nanos mounted. Problem solved i hope.

10. Give each race a ship with equal capabilities of a raven. Each player should be able no matter what race he has chosen to do missions as easy as a raven pilot. I dont want to see the raven nerfed tho. Its a good missionship. But other races lack one of those.

1) Change "Player Owned Structures" - Currently managing these is almost like a real life job. They are also currently a MUST for any large scale battle to conquer space, and it takes most of the fun in EVE away when you have to "grind" POS's to actually "win".

2) Logging Off - A log off timer like they have in WoW should be added and made standard. When logging off you have to wait x seconds standing still doing nothing, any action done or done at you will abort the logg off timer. In POS and stations this should be instantly, and in the matter of POS ships should not warp away, they should stay.

3) Dynamic Content - I am thinking random events that happens through out the galaxy, bring more life into the universe, be it by more Aurora members or just make NPC's for it (Freelancer and X - Beyond the frontier style where NPC's kinda "live on their own").

4) Module and Ship Balance - Modules and ships should be balanced towards the backstory fiction. This will make the game more "real" to the fiction, and roleplayers would be happy too. :)

5) GUI Optimzation - Currently the GUI is.. CRAP! Heavy loads and spikes, GUI freezing when loading data. In other games the GUI continues while the data loads, in EVE it stops as the information flow stops.

6) System and Regional Balance - Many systems look the same, they should me ALL different. Each and every system should be special and have a unique look and feel. Each system should also be valueable in its own way, no more 4 system per region is UBER while rest is CRAP.

7) Ammo Balance slash Tactical PvP - I believe these two are related. In large fleets you fitt one kind of ammo and can shoot at anything, what was the point of other ammo types again?

8) Subsystem Damage - Make smaller ships be able to target subsystems, and at the same time decrease smaller ships damage against larger ships. Meaning that for small ships to take on larger would take TIME, but smaller ships can cripple a large ship to near destruction.

9) Local Chat - Remove it in 0.0 or make a POS module that gives the alliance with sovreinigty ability to see whos in local.

10) More Entertaining Professions - Mining IS dull, travelling IS dull, exploration (no matter what people say) IS dull. They are ALL grinds, press 1 2 3 REPEAT untill desire result is accomplished. Not really a good thing imo.

So far it's a love/hate relationship with CCP and eve. I've been playing for a year I think. I rerolled once and have about 3million SP. Most of my stuff is in mining and barges, some industry, a little science, drones, and EWar. I recently got a 2nd account for hauling and research work (hopefully in the near future).

1) Fix the Petition System. Waits of a month (some petitions I've heard of not being answered AT ALL) are not acceptable.

2) Fix the god damn bugs and stupid crap that just plain "doesn't work". I posted a build for bellicose (I use cruisers in a support capacity in wartime) which included an automated targetter. Dude, it doesn't work - hasn't for 2-3 patches. And noone has even LOOKED at fixing it. Also I spent a week or more learning skills for EW Drones. They come back to your ship at about 1/10th the speed they travel to a target at. All this little stuff needs fixing and you're adding voice to the game. Who cares if the damn game doesn't work?!!?

3) The Standings system - please allow either MANY more standings to be set or standings against alliances.
4) Custom Ship Graphics. This would just be astonishingly cool. Paint/Corp Colors/War Paint etc.. It could be something that is put on at build time and is hard to redo or expensive or w/e. Could start a whole new industry here.
5) More News from the Devs regarding what is ACTUALLY being worked on - I know some project manager has a list on his computer - publish it!
6) More automated stuff - I dunno how this would work, I saw the idea for cargo drones earlier this week for miners to relay stuff to the station rather than jetcanning. Being able to hire NPC's for missions and various duties would be VERY cool tho. Even if limited to 1 per person or something, join a gang with humans - NPC goes back to base etc..
7) Factional Warfare - yes please. Let's lone wolf players do something. EvE isn't geared for the lone wolf at all, it's very sad.
8) "Soft" Contracts. Man Ebay has this. Soft contracts that rely on feedback rather than hard facts. You could put a contract up that's good for 200 mercenaries to be hired. Lone wolf players like myself could take advantage and just contract a few days onto someone's war AND get paid for it appropriately. Feedback is left by both people, contract over.
9) Customizable Local Chat - or something similar - so you could get a warning on screen when a war target or -ve person enters local. The local chat window is HUGE and takes up too much room IMO. There's definately better ways to do this.
10) NPC Couriers. PC Couriers are pretty hard to come by and the amount of collateral is prohibitive to the newbs who need 1m isk. And if someone with 1b isk has the collateral - why would they want the job ? I only know of 1 person took one of these jobs in a year and he stuffed it up because he had to make so many trips and it wouldn't accept the goods at the end - the courier stuff has to be reworked or fixed somehow.

Please read this *crosses fingers*.

I`d like to be able to listen to "Rose of victory" without blowing my speakers once I go to warp.
