In EVE there isn't much in system aside from around 10 planets and 50 moons, but what's there to find at a moon other than a POS? I suggest that there should be actual asteroids similar to what we have in the solar system albeit not as many for various reasons. The asteroids will be at the L4 / L5 points of large gas giants ( as seen with Jupiters trojans in the previous picture ) or in empty orbits. Anomalies would also be at the location of one of the asteroids instead of around a planet. There would also be potential for hidden structures made by players or NPCs, as well as historical sites which could be explored.
Consequences:
- More clutter on the map / overview / scanner.
- Possibly easier to scan down anoms as their location is fixed to an asteroid.
- Increase in data in the form of new objects / textures / etc.
- More places for people to escape and hide at.
Consequences 1 & 3 are very detrimental to this idea, which is why I suggested there shouldn't be as many. Number 2 isn't that bad, as it could be made so every asteroid has a signature with differing natures to act as noise. Some show up as being a structure signature, others as ship signatures or possibly both in differing amounts. With some changes to scanning I think this suggestion could add a lot more options into the game, provided 1 & 3 don't kick it into the ground. Number 4 is a boon to some and not to others. It could end up with more battlegrounds being used and more combat environments, although most of the time you can just warp out before someone finds you.
There was also a suggestion for asteroid mining to be changed, and I think having a single large asteroid with different patches with different minerals could be a thing, though the miner would have to worry about stumbling across a hidden base.
So what do you guys think could be added to this to make it better? Are there consequences I've missed? Are there other proposed changes it works well with such as structures, or others where it doesn't work with? Is it even possible to have that many extra objects in system? |
