I restarted Eve last week after not playing since 2011. Before my restart, I could remember all the reasons I loved Eve, the tension, beauty, battles. When I restarted, I remembered the reason I quit. These are some possible changes to address the issues that caused me to walk away (and most likely will again in 60 days). I was once a multi-box player, earning the ISK for both big battles and small. When I quit in 2011, I was spending hour s of GÇ£maintenanceGÇ¥ time, mining, building ships, traveling systems, and waiting for fleets to form. From these hours of work, I would have a few hours of fun in fleets each week. I simply ran out of time and desire to do so much for so little gain. I finally quit when our alliance decided to make a big move. When needing to gather all my gear and move it from one side of the universe to the other was going to take many hours of work, I finally quit. Rejoining the game last week, I had ideas of joining a corp. and doing some PVP each week. While flying through a gate I got podded (then pod got wiped) by a gate camp. My original dread returned. ItGÇÖs not that I am crying about getting blown up, that is part of the game. It was the thought of all the work I was going to need to do to simply get ready to do a little PVP. I would need to earn ISK, buy the parts for my ship, configure my ship, and fly it to someplace interesting with some future corp. It was going to be hours of game time before I could do what I have returned to Eve for. My suggestions: Perhaps some sort of basic monthly income Or A change to insurance, where instead of a cash payout, a replacement ship with the same configuration as your current ship (limited in ISK value and only once or twice per month). Or The ability to purchase a ship with the same configuration as you just lost.
Imagine if you get killed and an alert box pops up stating GÇ£Your clone has been activated at station xx, as your first loss of the month, you complementary insurance payout has delivered a replacement ship to the station and is ready for your use.GÇ¥ Or GÇ£Your clone has been activated at station xx, your insurance has paid xx% of your replacement ship. Your replacement ship is now waiting in station for your use.GÇ¥
This are just some thoughts from a potential casual player whom no longer has time for 20+ hours per week of drudgery for a few hours of pew pew pew.

Buy in bulk.
Work with others to move stuff around so you don't have to exert so much effort (and thus prevent "burn out").
Spend a night fitting a lot of ships.
Have fun until you need to buy more stuff.
Also... - there are features in the Market window that allow you to save and buy entire ship fits.
- your idea throws a wrench in the economy. Remember that players produce ships and pretty much anything you want to use. Having the game "magically" generate items undercuts manufacturers.
- EVE is a multi-faceted PvP game. You build to gather resources and money... which you use to gather more resources or money... which you can use to defend your resource and money gathering or impede others from doing the same. You can't take a "shortcut" that removes you from this cycle but can still affect others.
How did you Veterans start?

You can buy and fit a cruiser for every hour of missioning in hi-sec with one account and have change to spare. Pi is also essentially a daily income.
Get away from the notion that you need expensive fits and implants to pvp and you'll pvp more and grind less.

Open your combat log. Open the loss. Save the fit. Open the fitting window. Select the fit. Press 'buy all'.
if you already have the fit saved, skip the first half of that. It is not hard. |

I get your idea, and part of me kind of likes it. But there's a bigger part of me that thinks that it would be a little exploitable and there's something about pvp that makes it a draw to people like myself when you know the guy you just blew up now has to spend hours getting the ship back together that he just lost. So people like myself would lose a small part of our soul from this sort of change.
I hate to be just another dude offering you advice. But honestly, why don't you fly cheaper ships? You can earn 40-50m per hour ratting in a vni. and you can buy a fully fitted firetail for like 25m or a interceptor for like 30-35 or a bomber for 30-35... I guess what I'm getting at is your ratio of a week of isk-making to two hours of pvp doesn't look right. If you're making isk all week so that you can buy a 400m tengu and losing it in two hours then you might be playing eve wrong.
Start small, when you get bigger ships find better ways to make isk faster etc... I do PI and passively probably generate 150m a week or so and I do a few hours of ratting a week to make about another 150m. 15 minutes of PI a day + 2.5 hours of ratting turns out to be around 3-4 hours a week which gives you enough to buy almost a dozen well fitted T2 frigates.
Every do an interceptor roam? get like 40 people in cheap little interceptors and you can take down a carrier lol. |
