Dear EVE (CCP) my name is Philip C, firstly I like to say that IĈm a huge fan of the online world you have made, IĈm also a huge player what I mean to say is I spend a great deal of my time playing eve when I can. I work away a lot though and itĈs a always a shame when I canĈt get online to play eve, my chart Mental dog is getting skilled by my brother but IĈm writing this letter for two reasons. One. Could it be possible to skill a chat by email, I mean IĈm aware that you can add SP to a chart due to lag and the like IĈm sure that it would be possible to do the same from a email, if the account was going to be kept open but the player unable to log on for whatever reason, i.e. like myself away with the army in afghan IĈm a British army medic. This sort of help would make skilling a char easier for me and unlike me some people donĈt have family willing to skill a chart for them. Two. As IĈm away a lot I miss the game play itself, I like running missions and killing NPC, do you think it would be possible some time in the future to make a solo game of eve it seems as if you have all the data already on players computers all it would take is a update or to and maybe a charge for the game or something to help the programmers sleep better at night lol I joke but really a solo version for myself would be great, I can see many tempting reasons for a solo version, ship fitting directly your character SP could be updated with updates or like evemon simple use the API code, i understand eve has build its outstanding reputation on the online side of eve but a solo game could have a direct link, trapped in a worm hole for one no way out, you could even have that as a possible outcome in the online game if trapped in a worm hole in game you would have to escape to get back online or get podded, huge risk = more excitement, lol for me it would be the simple pleasure of playing a game I love when I'm away, I would very much like to play eve all the time but what can you do, well iv asked so I hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to your views on my ideas, I have many more. IĈm in the middle of a 7 month tour its IĈm returning home sometime in October looking forward to it greatly my address is at the bottom of this page I would like to say thank you for reading my letter Yours gratefully

Edited by: Dagobert Dog on 30/06/2009 11:23:31 A solo version is a really good idea. That would enable solo players to hunt or run plexes in lowsec or 0.0. And whenn you found something good you could than log back on to the multiplayer version and sell it. That would make Eve much more fair than it is now, where only big alliances have the oportunity to do that.

Who said EVE should be fair?

I'm sorry, but I think that would be a very bad idea. Soloclient just for testing and running missions and whatnot to kill time, sure. But in no way linked to the mmo environment of Eve.
Because:
1. It would totally mess up the balance of the game as there would be near no bottlenecks for faction/officer/sleeper loot. 2. ISK farmers heaven? 3. 10.000 players online at peak hours?
I really think it would just massively screw up Eve, marketwise mainly.

The market is allready medded up. Look at the price of a good shield booster. It costs billions because the big alliances sit on them and dont let solo players do plexes in their territory. The prices of faction and deadspace mods would come down to a normal level where people could acctually afford them. It would also solve the problem of suicide ganks of mission runners aswell the nijasalvaging problem. You would use your solo client to run missions so there would be no way for other players to harm you. You could even use the more profitable agents in lowsec. Mission hubs would also disapear because people would run missions with their solo client. That would also relieve the servers, which is a good thing.

Stuff costs billions because people pay billions for them.
This proposal happens, TQ becomes SiSi where everything, faction/officer included is seeded. I'd rather have PvP where losses acutally mean something thanks.

This idea is absolute rubbish. How in the world could you even consider combining goods gained from a solo client to use with the MMO client? That would be outright stupid. Making it so you can run 0.0 plexes without being harmed then expect to use the mods you gained in a "SAFE" 10/10 plex to PVP the major alliances......what are you smoking?....Share or put it out!!!

There are a few problems with this statement. First, I really don't believe these faction and deadspace mods are meant to be owned by everyone. They are a goal to attain, not a commodity one should be able to acquire without considerable effort.
One of the reasons they are so expensive, is because they are so good, but also extremely rare. Their rarity really has nothing to do with big alliances.
Finally, it takes an incredible amount of work and coordination for an alliance to hold and maintain space. The reward is access to certain resources which smaller organizations may not have easy access to. While you may find this arrangement to be unfair, in reality it is quite fair. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from coordinating a large group of individuals and obtaining that space for yourself; except perhaps the relentless drive and considerable effort inherent to such an endeavor.

I'm not sure how these are "problems." It may be frustrating for you, but these are the challenges you are required to overcome in order to benefit from your mission running. It is part of the game, and if it wasn't there, EVE would merely be solitaire and the rewards would largely be meaningless.

I swear, I'm having a difficult time believing this isn't a troll. Do you honestly believe this is what is needed in a multiplayer game, or am I falling for a really bad troll?

ok a grant you that the idea of a solo games isinet the best but a stand alone game of eve could be fun say launch it as a new chapter of the eve world or of the eve past th eve gate could be the theame how about that that would be good or based on the eve book playing the lost redford or the crazy caldari guy forgrt is name i just love of eve plays i know its got problems and i know its got issues but don't we all a pure stand alone game for fun and maybe a story link only would be good now comment lol

I love how some people are so quick to smash other peoples ideas here
If you even read the holy wall of text (Sorry mate, had to be said) the guy is running a tour in Afghanistan, he's paying for eve, but not doing anything on there.
I agree with the skill via e-mail idea, it would solve the problem for people like myself, who can't always access Eve via their own computer.
The "stand alone" client is a good idea, but make it so you can only train skills, nothing more. Something like Evemon, but in a lot more detail, maybe crappy graphics, but at least you can log in to sort your skills. I'm guessing this would update to your normal client when you got home? (correct me if i'm wrong)
I, for one, am in favour of that idea, but don't do it so you actually earn anything without logging into the "live" server, if you understand what I mean.
For things like training skills you don't already know, set the plan, and buy the required skills you need, then add them when you can train them.
(Maybe this idea could work in some Java form? Not much experience with that myself, but it works for mobile games.)
CCP could also add an extra charge for this if they wanted to, this would be an optional "upgrade" to speak.
And to the rest of you forum dwelling trolls, be a bit more open minded, and think of other solutions to many people's problems before you smash them to pieces without considering the benefits of them.
Hope it all goes well for you on your tour, MentaL DoG.
Regards,
Venetian Tar.

short version: crap
longer version: This could be implemented by extending the skillqueues abilities (adding books from the hangar, removing 24h limit) or by allowing to set skills right here on the website.. Absolutely no need for a single player client.. that would **** eve up for sure. ____________ nerf metagaming, boost fun |

This will NEVER happen. Maybe... just maybe, there will be a stand alone game to putz around with, but you will NEVER be able to solo play missions, plexes whatever, then port back to the live server once you have collected all your loot.
Not only that, I would give it 3 weeks and the code will be pulled appart, hacks written, people hacking isk, items, ships, then trying to port this stuff back to the live server.
It sucks that you can't access a game you enjoy due to your job, but thats life. I can't see any way that there will ever be a way to switch between a stand alone version of Eve and the the live servers.
Keep you head down (and your balls covered) out there and get home safe!
