Hans seems to be listening, cool. Here are my ideas. If you want more just ask. I have many. My platform is "get the heck out of our sandbox"
1 - I have long thought that a high-sec route between warring parties is silly. Everyone just goes to Jita. I feel there should be NO high-sec route between Gallente/Minnie space and Caldari/Amarr. This will de-centralize commerce and honestly make the game more interesting.
2 - For factional warfare to be "relevant" it needs to affect the players not doing it. It needs to change the landscape of EVE. Over time I would like to see the efforts of the Factional armies to actually move the boundaries of the empires. There are two aspects and that is Sov and Sec Status. In the near term being able to push low-sec in between the two empires would be very cool. Cutting off commerce between the two blocs would really make FW "relevant".
3 - Granularity in factions. Being able to join Serpentis, Blood Raider, Ni-Kunni, or whoever. Pirate factions could give out LP for blowing stuff up in the regions they are currently "infesting". The pirate factions would tie into "low-sec" more than "sov".
4 - Light defense of low-sec regions by faction police and sentry guns. Having a small response would be cool. It would make entering enemy space noticable. They would be killable, but always around.
5 - Over time captured space eventually becomes high-sec. 0.5 can be "invaded" somehow, up to certain limits. Being able to push your empire across the map is an end game which I thought would be implemented a long time ago. This would allow EVE high-sec and low-sec to be moving. It could take 3 or 4 months for a system to change hands, but it would really be something if an empire could lose everything but it's core regions.
If the boundaries of empires could move. If factional warfare could isolate and reduce another empire down to a region or two. If players could side with NPC factions that have different goals, standings, and philosophies, that would make EVE breathe again. The NPC drama would pick up huge! I mean having lowsec moving slowly towards your manufacturing/missioning center would certainly be an NPC major event, and might encourage you to lend your local militia a hand. |
