Ideas to help make the game a little better. I'm not a pro at the game, as of this post I've only been around about 2 months and these are just things I've noticed.
1. When the repair button is pressed there should be a REPAIR ALL button at the bottom instead of needing to highlight everything.
2. Go watch the anime Cowboy Bebop to get ideas for how space could look better/cooler. :)
3. Do something to make ore mining a little more profitable. (Make normal auto-mining still work like normal but have option to actually do something while mining to increase yield, something that an auto-mining program wouldn't be able to do. Or Super rare random pieces of superb ore that you sometimes happen upon but only if your actually searching during the mining process or something. )
4. Change rules for cloaking a tiny bit. Make it so if people don't touch the keyboard after a certain amount of minutes it will make the cloak turn off, or make it so people can detect them when they scan. This will help fix it with people who just have alts who all they do is sit there in a zone in a cloaked ship only to get info.
5. Change it so there isn't a LOCAL tab for chat since hardly anyone ever uses it. Create a single spot that isn't a chat channel at the top of the screen. It goes maybe a couple lines of tiny words at like 20 characters or less and only in extreme local space like within 1 AU so during battles people wont just be shooting each other but they will be yelling at each other letting each other know how much they suck. Make it so it only shows up for a second or two then its gone. call it the "YOU SUCK" line.
6. A different option for chat is take a look at the way Everquest 2 does their chat channels. Each chat channel has a number so you can type /1 blahblah and it goes to the general chat. Or you type /2 blahblah and that goes to your Corporation chat channel. It would be good to just take a look at other games chat and maybe you might find something to make Eve chat better.
If you don't like my ideas please let me know a better idea and how it could work. That would be great! |

1: That wouldn't hurt. I think most of us rightclick ship -> get repair quote. I'd forgotten the repair button in station services even existed until this topic. CTRL+A works too.
2: At least some of them probably have.
3: That would be more things to use the ore for. Citadels made certain minerals very noticeably more expensive. Blowing up a few citadels might ore demand, because those things aren't cheap. So would starting a big null war.
4: Do it right back, if you can find out who's doing it to you. Or move a system over and smartbomb the gate until you get an AFK cloaky corpse.
5: That's because there's not usually any point to talking in local. There aren't a lot of "I need help with" kinds of problems. People have figured out how to solo almost everything.
6: Way too many players. |

Repair all button, not a big issue atm but hey could be indeed usefull
I Agree about the cowboy bebop thing,
Myeah why not something you have to actively do while mining to increase yield a bit, not sure if lots of people would use it but thats an idea, i like to have my alt mining on my second screen and managing market orders.
Disagree on the cloaky thingy, when someone is combat scannering you, cloaking in a safespot is one way of taking a break while waiting for the hunters to leave
Dont have any opinion on the chat thing, i like it as it is but guess it could be better, dont know how tho |

There is a Repair All button in the next step after you highlighted all the things. It would indeed be a good thing if that button moved one step up so that repairing things becomes easier.
Personally, I do not see how that chat suggestion makes anything better. I only see more complication, in particular if you have more than 5 chats that you need to keep track off and typ in regularly. People already complain about too many things to memorize in EVE; if they now also have to memorize how to type in different chats with handles and arcane tags, they would be even less amused.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

I only want them to make it so Local Chat isn't a required intel tool for Low Sec and Null Sec, then they could change local to delayed Constellation Chat to make things interesting.

The local solar system channel is fine. It is you that ruined them for everyone with your alts and alts of spies of alts and siblings of alts of a friend of an alt,
Your killed your own game with your perception that you have something so say when you has more alts than everyone else.
Guess what, you are terrible mistaken. And yes I told you so, many, many years ago and make an educated guess who was right back then.
Congratulations everyone!
alt online, the more supers soopers you can isbox the gooderererererer is your svp stats on your fantasy keyboard you can show of in primary school or tree-school or wherever you went to.
svp = server versus player
Eve Minions is recruiting. Learn from about pvp, learn about ships and how to fly them correctly. Small gang and solo action in high, low and nullsec and w-space alike.
We will teach you everything you need and want to know.

1. This looks like one of those little things that turns out to be not so little. Probably already on CCP Karkur's list. A good idea if it doesn't consume too much development time. 3. Ore prices are determined by the market. The only way to make it more profitable is to increase demand without increasing supply (or reduce supply without reducing demand). The best way for CCP to influence the prices would be a change in mechanics that makes it difficult or impossible to use a bot or mine AFK. 4. AFK cloaky camping is something people have been complaining about for a long time. Camping has a legitimate role in the game but it should require an active pilot - like mining or boosting. Perhaps a 10 minute manual cycle for the cloak or make it take heat damage so it burns out after a while. 5. I don't think getting rid of local is a good idea but giving people the option of closing it seems reasonable - you should be able to fly blind if you want to. |

Local is used a lot in lowsec to socialize. You can talk to your frienemies in local, I would rather not see it removed tbh..
