In fact the new players could right away join a corp fleet and fly figthers. Targetting comes from the mothership thus players on fighters are unable to attack anything unless mothership targets it. An awesome thing is that players could join, as a final mission, an NPC scripted fight of two fleets aginst eachother and to give players a taste on how awesome fleet battles are.
1. hey Player, dock with Navy Mothership with your figther and talk to agent Mary.
2. hello player, im Mary. we will warp now to fight against the enemy navy, we need your help to destroy a special frigate with a special cargo.
3. NPC fleet warps (this is all purely NPC for 1 player only)
4. Sounds simulating the in-game voice-com system like "ok fleet we arrived, ENGAGE ENGAGE. Player go get that frigate, i targetted for you", with others like "shields down!", "repair my armor!", "Battleship warping in!", "Im going down!", "primary target - that battlecruiser"
5. Player goes like: OMFG DIS IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!1111111
6. once player gets the item needed his fleet suddently starts winning and mission is over rewarding a cool frigate.
I've got no beef with this, anything to improve this aspect of the game will be both welcome and successful.
To be honest, I've been playing since early 2005, and I've got no issues with revamping the UI completely. I don't mind it in that I'm used to it, but there are a handful of common sense things I had to look past when I first started EVE.
Combat is certainly slow - but that works both ways. In WoW PVE, you're used to taking on a single entity (boss) and deploying a strategy to kill it. In EVE PVE, you're taking on as many as 10-30 enemies, and deploying a strategy as such. Given the circumstances, EVE combat works, and the pace is lively when engaging multiple threats. The caveat here is that 1v1(does this even happen?)PVP and single threat battles seem a little slow at times.
It's great that you're enjoying EVE, and even better that you seem to want to like it enough to offer suggestions. The community (for the most part) is great, and the game is solid - the more you play the more you'll enjoy it.
