Split weapon systems: Even turret ships that have their one or two utility slots 'classafied' as missile slots need a boost.
Years ago, I read a dev post on the forums that said CCP was looking into removing all missile damage bonuses and increasing launchers across the board do max damage.
This would keep the missile ships as competitive as turret ships, and allow those turret ship users with near useless launcher slots another weapon/fit option.
As an example, look at the megathron's single launcher slot or the hurricanes two missile slots. Most fits leave the two high slots empty (I don't, cause I love pure gank) ----------------- Friends Forever |

OOh, just read another big one that many people overlook:
Make 00 space more balanced, from North/South, East/West; from region to region; and within the various regions. As of now, we all know the money spots, we all know what regions suck, and it sucks when you're stuck in them.
Thank god for exploration. ----------------- Friends Forever |

-Proper ship usage, You should take modern naval ship types and transfer their roles into the game make them what they are supposed to be. The ability to fit a ship that does it all defeats the purpose of having ship types. Tech2 ship types would obviously be able to do more in this respect, for instance a force recon. A force recon would be able to performe better in a stand alone role than other ships since its purpuse is to be a rugged scout ship. Where as a battle cruiser would perform better in a fleet or gang atmosphere providing cover and fire support for the fleet. Its obvious that this was the goal initially with ship types and such but mass calls for nerf this nerf that end up changing ships based on whats the popular solo pwn mobile.
-Stop listening to whiners, once you set ship types and roles that should be the end of it. Input should be on obvious exploits, bugs and game play issues, not "Why cant I have my cake and eat it too?". Additions in that respect should be brought about in new ship designs to meet the demands of differnt types of combat.
-Crime and concord. Salvaging wrecks that are deemed by concord to be the property of the party who destroyed it should be treated as stealing because the wreck as a whole is property not just the loot inside. The bounty system is pointless in its current state, most people put bounties on themselves. If they do get a nice bounty on them they just have a buddy kill them and claim the money. Maybe if collecting a bounty was based off of a contract through an agent that had standing requirements there would be a more active bounty hunting community in EVE, effectively creating a perfession of sorts. You have to have standing with concord and the bounty hunting corp in order to use the agents enabling you to accept the contracts. The better the agent the bigger the bounty you have access too. make it so you can't bounty yourself, or maybe even your own corp mates to possibly reduce scamming. Lastly once a contract has been accepted the player is THEN exempt from concord action while hunting the bounty so they dont get concorded engaging in high sec. Then not just anyone can collect in high sec, only a bount hunter can which is why you have to have high sec standing with concord and anyone can collect in low/null sec because its not secure space....its the frontier.

1. Unguided missiles (rockets/HAMs/torps): Make them useful pvp weapons. High RoF, very high velocity but low flight time, but with the penalty of slightly large explosion radius. Also, T1 ships designed to use them. (T1 Khanid)
2. Static minerals: Low end minerals (trit) have become too expensive because it is too hard to move large distances. All sources anywhere near market hubs are depleted. Also, the moon mineral supply does not scale with the player-base. The more players in the game the more expensive T2 will get. Both can be fixed by revamping mining missions. Spawn large belts of veld in low end mining missions and spawn new asteroids that can be refined for small amounts of moon minerals in high end mining missions.
3. T2 short range ammo: cost and drawbacks make them worthless compared to faction ammo. _________________________ Did you really not have enough room for me? I'm only 1m¦. |

1. Large Projectiles - the tracking is absurdly slow and the range is very short. So you basically have to sit still and pray the other guy does the same. And you'll still lose because you have poor damage.
2. naglfar - there is a reason why these are hardly ever used. The worst defences worst damage. They are embarrassing to the pilot.
3. DD needs to go it should be made to do something clever not just be used multiple times to KILL ALL.

1) T1 Ships (frigs) and Modules (all) are not effective. Players only have the option to create T1 baseline modules to push to level II's. Its either T2 or Meta, and T1's are so far behind the power curve its not pleasent or funny. Introduce additional blue prints to upgrade T1's towards mid level meta status (like you do with the specialty drones), and require them to use additional manufactured goods. It would balance the production market. The only option to upgrade T1 frigs are the faction blue prints, and those are more cost prohibitive than a t2 ship, and less effective than a t2 ship. Bring prices back in line.
2) E-War, Its all over the place an highly unballanced in defence/effectiveness comparisons across the board.
3) Armor Tank to shield tank. Everyone Shield tanks supposidly armor tanking ships, no one armor tanks shield tanker ships... Lack of midslot armor mods for flexibility in armor tanking when compared to Shields (and the Passive shield tank VS Buffer Armor tank is not pretty either)
The Intakis have an obligation to defend the Federation, but not to assult others on its behalf. |

My Top 3
Highsec: Level 4 missions need to be re-balanced. Currently far too much profit for non-existent risks. Highsec is almost completely safe, suicide ganking has suffered successive nerf's, players have no in game recourse to Macro'ers.
Lowsec needs a serious buff. The NPC battleship spawn is a farce, perhaps drastically increase the likelihood of a faction spawn along with other matters.
Artillery and Autocannons. Respectively give us back appreciable alpha, increase clip sizes and in the case of AC's give us some form of compensation for having to fight in falloff all the time (Lower fitting req's and no cap use just don't cut the mustard).
Other
The Nagalfar.
Highsec Wardec exploits: Corp hopping, dec'ing your own corp with alts to raise costs etc... Needs sorting out.
HP buff. needs to be undone in part.
Allow Lowsec bomb use.
Stealthbombers. You really missed the boat on them this time around.

Edited by: Malarkie on 18/04/2009 17:57:21 1) Matari L Ammo / Battle Ship class and larger 2) Missions 3) ratio of Empire <-> Low Sec <-> Null Sec activities, systems, risk reward
Minmatar need some love in the Battle Ship Class and larger arena. Currently Matari Battle Ships don't have a "strong role" anywhere...PvE/PvP This is based off similar levels of SP...yes an ALL 5 Character can do some nasty dmg and have a Fricken huge tank...but...thats at ALL 5.
Missions: This one is troublesome. I personally would rather see no "mission levels" anywhere. The difficulty level of the mission should be based off your standing with the "agent" you are running missions with. This would do 2 things. One..no more "corp" grinding for a higher level mission agent. You now just keep running missions for your current agent. the concept of agent quality should be greatly expanded upon. And...at the highest standings an agent is going to be asking you to do missions that are actually hard to accomplish solo if at all. This has NOTHING to do with the volume of ships to kill or dps to tank or dps to spit out...everything to do with actual difficulty. I see no reason why a max standing agent couldn't ask you to do a mission that requires on a shuttle to complete...as long as it takes you a week or more to actually finish..I don't see the issue. Or a mission that requires a dread or 2. Difficulty should not mean pew pew. It can mean that but that should not be the defining factor.
Ratio...this one is hard to quantify but I firmly believe the number of "lowsec" systems should be greatly increased. This would mean far more "tiny off the beaten path" systems for lowsec. And this would mean it would be easier for hisec dwellers to find and start utilizing lowsec systems...which in turn would increase the targets the "pirate" professions would have open for them.
Edit: did I just agree with Redsplat?

BALANCE RESIST RIGS Decrease the cost of armor resist rigs, or increase the cost of shield resist rigs, or put them somewhere in between. Right now it costs roughly 5mil for an EM Screen and 20mil for an Explosive Pump. That isn't right Fix it already.
ROCKETS They are in serious need of some love. Damage and explosion velocity, thanks.
THE DEIMOS This ship needs some love. My suggestion, swap the slot layout with the Zealot. This will give the Deimos a bit of a boost, but hardly hurt the Zealot since it's got its extra turret nowadays. - MY LATEST VIDEO - BATTLE CRUISE |

Edited by: Cit''cen on 18/04/2009 18:23:07 1. Artillery & AC's It needs to be brought in line with other weapon systems. Its clearly the worst because it doesn't have ANY advantage from others beside no cap use.
2. Tanking in general: Active tanking you need to use Cap, more slots and more pilot management wheres the passive tank does not need pilot management, asks no cap and less slots but its more effective then active tanking.
Also seeing that Harbingers, Brutix, Myrms (ships that supposed to armor tank) are shield tanking and suprisingly effective. Brutix can achieve ALMOST with 1 shield extender the same HP as a hurricane with 2 shield extenders and the brutix is a bloody active tanker.
3. Boosters Even with this patch, the good ones you want to pay for are way to expensive. A POS is needed for booster manufacturing which shouldn't be needed. Because of the POS it makes the whole booster production not fun to & way to expensive. Let us have the ability to do it in station. However POS is still a bigger advantage like you have that with LABS etc.

2. lolrockets
3. what is explosion velocity and where did it go? exp velocity of terror rages with all lvl5 skills = 130m/s.... iirc the explosion velocity of dynamite is 7700m/s. i think the scientists of new-eden might even be a bit more advanced then that eh. ----sig---- corp and alliance rec. |

1. Imbalances in the damage and alpha of large Artillery
2. Imbalances in the balance of Minmatar battleships and capitals
3. If your new super servers could reset and recalculate lock timers based on the application of a target painter, that'd be great.

1) PROJECTILE WEAPONS - Boost them. 2) RAPIER/HUGINN - need love 3) COST OF RIGS - specifically component cost of shield and armor resist rigs are strangely disparate. Possibly lower cost of armor rigs by simply changing up their components.

Mining, Loot reprocessing, Salvage and Rigs. Mining cannot compete with missioners. Missioners can get more loot and more ISK/time than even Hulkers. Industrialists can get more low-sec minerals from reprocessed goods than from miners. However, Industrialists are starved for salvage -- in part because many missioners neglect to use Salvagers. What about altering the balance of loot and salvage. Missioners could still realize the same or nearly the same ISK/time as now. There would be a greater need for mining, and there would be a greater supply of salvage.
Energy Weapons: EM/Therm, EM/Therm, or EM/Therm Maybe expanding the selection of weapons is in order to afford their users with options beyond EM/Therm. Even today we have X-Ray lasers and Electron guns. In the future? What about T-Ray and Ion or Beta Particle Guns?
Combat focused Like most other MMOs, EVE is hugely focused upon combat. What about introducing a new career path (Rangers?) where players can influence if not create storylines within the EVE universe? I hail amongst the maligned Carebear career path. It is true that EVE offers other viable paths of game play: Trading, Industry, Mining. Industry is very well developed. The glaring deficiency is the risk/reward for Material Research. Using NPC stations costs upwards of two months or massive ISKs. Using a POS costs around a billion ISKs for the initial set up, and it could all vaporize with a war declaration. For Trading there is not much to "spice it up," beyond maybe Asset Consolidation through Teamsters. Mining is boring, unless you are mining in low sec. It could be fun to "find something out of the ordinary" like old ship logs, criminal or empire tags, or even a beacon to an Expedition. Please add a hot link to Rookie Info in your bio. |

1) Lower the cost of all ships across the board - you will get more pvp, and more people into pvp. For those of us with jobs/lives/family/studies/whatever this game is difficult to commit to given the cost mechanics.
2) Minnie ships - in general with the speed nerf, the web nerf, the sucky projectile damage output (really arties here), the whole class needs help.
3) Maybe boost active tanking slightly to give it a roll again in PvP (don't nerf passive or no one will tank and this will DPS-online).

Originally by: Grez 1) ECM drones (compared to other EW drones, they are superior) 2) Armour tanks vs. shield tanks (in a large majority of cases, a armor tanking ship is superior to a shield tanking ship) 3) DCU - has CPU requirements akin to a passive module (make it passive <3)

1) Limit daily CONCORD bounties per account. Since client code leak, bot programs create 200+ m ISK per day with zero risk.
2) "Duct tape and glue" rig effects should use SINGLE BEST effect. Will affect insane passive tanks, and bring some sense to t2 rigs use.
3) Non-covert cloaking on ships should use lots of resources (like, consume 100% capacitor with 0 regen, can not move when cloaked, decloak radius depends on actual ship's signature).

Personally my 3 things are.
1) ECM - its an improvement with the falcon, but unfortunetly ECCM doesnt protect you enough, which leads me on to my next one...
2) EVE makes it very difficult to kill as a small or solo roaming player/gang. Especially as ECM and blobs can lazily be thrown at you for an easy defeat. Theres just not enough there to stop people from throwing numbers at a problem.
3) Active tanking could use a boost tbh, Large armour repping is so cap intensive and really should it? it offers such a nice change to buffer tanks but really too run the kinds of tanks that can hold off the blob you need to run dual injectors for Battleships.
There are many more, such as the Tempest being completely outclassed, Large Autocannons just not cutting it compared to the other races large guns etc i could go on tbh, but i think those are my top 3.

1) Pirate ships. Guristas line in general requires quad skilling (Two different ship skills, two different weapon skills).
I know that Caldari are, RP-wise, not that far off from Gallente. At least in the weapon system department, considering a few Caldari ships are hybrid-focused instead of missile focused. I believe it'd be a good idea to revise Guristas ships primarily, switching them to a missile or hybrid system instead of split-weapons like Minmatar. After a Guristas revisal was done, I'd say to move onto to the rest, it may be a good idea to look at the Sansha ones as well. The main differences between a Nightmare and a Paladin are the lack of T2 resistances, 40km tractor, cargo space and tanking type.
Additionally, I'd like to see some pirate faction ships introduced that made use of different race combos. The only ones not used are Amarr/Gallente and Caldari/Minmatar. Maybe we can see some like EoM ships? I know I'm not the only one who'd like to fly a Death Lord into combat.
2) Tech II Missile Launchers. Unless you're a fan of T2 missiles, namely the Torpedo ones, it's essientially pointless to use Tech II launchers over faction ones unless cost is an issue, or you have the Tech II skill at 5. Also, the signature radius penalties essientially turn you into a Las Vegas sign, which makes using them in ships that don't have very small signature radius figures to begin with, a bit unwise.
3) NPC Electronic Warfare. They're not kept to the same balance changes that players have been over the years. There are still instances IG where pirate HACs can continuously spam their faction's racial EWAR. Depending on your strategy/ship and the pirate HAC, you can either be permanently shut down, or just simply annoyed. I speak of things such as permacyclejamming Guristas HACs and 100km damping Serpentis ones, which can knock you down to a 100s lock time, and 16km targeting range.

Edited by: keepiru on 18/04/2009 20:25:58 Fix rockets, they're hilariously poor.
The combination of aiming a single-size weapon at a dps lower, when bonused, than that of an unbonused 125mm autocannon (the smallest) plus the launch-time delay of 1 second cutting a full 33% range has left them the province of people who either dont care or dont know any better, with predictable knock-on effects on the malediction, hawk, and vangeance.
Also, fix the bloody Raptor, it needs a MAPC to fit 125mm rails and an MWD, did its fittings even get looked at in the last 2 years? Its not like its a solopwnmachine, it does wet-paperbag dps even with 150s, so for gods sake let it fit the damn peashooters.
Finally: Dramiel. 5 High slots. 2 turrets. 3 launchers. 3 turret bonuses. Do I have to draw you a picture?
Addendum: since bombers are now useful, time to finally add faction painters, after a short delay of only a few years? ... and I really think they should boost T2 plate HP.

1) t2 ammo t2 ammo and t2 guns should be separate. T2 ammo is essential and it has too long of a critical path for the new player.
2) sov warfare is boring
3) tactical warfare There should be more tactical decisions for individual pilots.
