Originally by: Rico Naginata OMG IDEA
create a new capital-class vessel, the "Research ship".
Ship has a few guns, smallish dronebay, etc.
Can hold a small fleet of players.
Their use: They can jump into jove space and allow those vessels that they brought to explore the system they are in. They cannot use jumpgates.
The jove only allow a ship to stay for say, 48 hours before htey get irritated by them being on their backdoor and destroy them. the jumpdrive has a 1 week "recharge time" or whatever.
So people can explore jove space, reaaaaall slowly.
Obviously this would need a new timer, the "jove timer" or something.
What do you think? :)
Mmmm I actually kinda like this idea, but rather than make up a whole new ship class for it, why not just buff the motherships a bit a let them carry a small group of BSĘs plus a medium sized fleet of support ships, and just randomly spawn cyno fields out in jove space, that are only there for a short amount of time, and only visible to players in certain regions / constellations.
It could spawn a whole new trade / commodity, a chat channel where people sell jove cyno intel etc.
Would also persuade more alliances to build motherships, which given there cost probably need a little more incentive to build tbh.
Of course the reward for building such a ship and getting there, would have to be well worth it, huge NPC BS spawns? Mercoxit roids with a 50% yield bonus? Could be massive fun!
Ya might wanna consider stealing any ideas you think are good from me and giving your plan its own thread, sounds good to me.
And then when the devs want to introduce jove stuff, have the "dread" rats drop 1run BPCs etc...
Another thing that would be awesome would be jove "agents" that would just talk to you. It would require a lot of backstory, but i guess it owuld be something for Abraxas to be getting on with
I was considering this a bit more earlier. Perhaps have automatic rat BS spawns around where the research/mothership is so the "research team" always has to be organising defenses.
This could open up a whole new ship market - the mothership-type thing, "research frigates" which could be used for any number of things (invention datacore research possibly?)...
And of course, you could do some phat stories with this that would be spread over a long period of time AND allow anyone with enough ISK to have a chance at taking part - I can think of loads of ideas for things people could find in the wilderness that is Jove space :P
What are your opinions?
