Have moons change. A 30 day cycle on a moon that is being mined the whole time would be something like this:

5 day change which during those 5 days each day the ratio of old mineral vs new mineral goes down by 20% per day. So on day 1 it would be 80% cad and 20% tech. Day 2 is 60% cad and 40% tech. So on and so forth that on day 6 it is now 100% tech.

The 100% tech would last for 20 days. This is of course if it is being mined the whole time. On day 26 we would start to see the introduction of a new mineral that was depleted somewhere else in the universe. So lets say it would be 80% tech and 20% cobalt.

You get the idea. This would bring back moon probing as a profession and give incentive to go after moons that show evidence of going from a so so element to the flavor of the month in demand element.

But of course, I expect any current high end moon holders to flame this will their mains and alts and put out an alliance wide mail for everyone else to do the same.

That is just one idea I have on what would help out 0.0. Not to mention give low sec a boost.

Flame on.

EDIT: If no mining is happening, then the cycle freezes on whatever it was and does not continue. All in all I think it would be a simple to implement. Maybe we will see if CCP does anything like that in the next 12-18 months.

Just introduce a bounty the attacker will receive when it captures a system. The longer the system is owned by a corp/alliance the higher the bounty.

For the RP part: The bounty will be paid by an anti-concord faction that wants chaos in the universe

Biggest thing IMO is fixing the lag and node issues, most larger alliances atm feel it isn't worth it to start a big war till it is fixed. Which is hurting the economy cause they aren't buying up extra minerals, ice and ship / fittings and such to fuel the war effort. Most don't care about the politics in 0.0, they just want a enemy to shoot at, glory for there corp / alliance saying they are winning battles and taking systems. And for new CAOD content, since the big war up north ended, CAOD got boring, use to love to read CAOD when I needed a good laugh

But fixing the lag and node issues will help fix some problems Eve is currently facing. Though I think some new 0.0 regions would help out also.

And you dont see how it can be exploited? At all?

allowing sov holders to put a tax on gate activation would be cool - it would make high traffic systems worth alot of money and wouldnt favor any given region. Wartargets would be exempt from tax tho so if you wanted to atk a system with a massive fleet youd have to declare war or give your enenmy alot of money when you arrive :P

Pretty simple really.

Modify the way infrastructure upgrades work, instead of having many many fully upgraded systems that all yield the same amount, easily sustaining the entire EVE population in a fraction of the space available...

Use an existing mechanic, system truesec should affect the quality of the benefits from upgrades. So -1.0 systems are still far superior and perhaps even cost less (RP factor: CONCORD has less influence in lower truesec).

Also return static DEDs but increase respawn/adjust rewards and create a **** ton more interesting ones.

Readjust the way exploration sites spawn and their rewards (which are pretty weak at the moment in general and way too random) to once again be more profitable in certain hot spots - you know, actually make EXPLORING that region of space worth while.

But these are just my gripes about 0.0 PvE mechanics, the lag should be foremost priority so that anyone will give a **** about any changes.

The dominion lag machine is the number one reason why big wars aren't happening as much these days.

I think the best way to keep 0.0 regions balanced while also creating real incentives for invasions would be to give each region unique resources that are required for production. If one region cuts the supply of said resources, they could drive up the prices and become rich, but they would also create a strong desire for others to invade their space.

Most regions have something unique about them now, but it is nothing substantial enough to make any real difference in alliance level politics.

Off the cuff brainstorming
What if System Rent was based on how many neighbors you had?

If there are Four Sov V systems with X range of you, it costs more to claim sov? That makes the big guys stronger, sort of a cultural victory a la Civilization III

it would also make it harder for pets to exist, as your might would push them out in time.
Flame On

definitely a game changer, definitely makes things more interesting
but could be alot more work for people who already got eve as a second job
but, best idea ive heard in a while

im pretty sure the whole point of the last expansion was to make mega alliances weaker. not stronger like you say your idea is suggesting

POS's Vs New Sov Mech - This is basically in simplest terms Strategy / Resilience vs Brute Force. In the old days people spent 24 / 36 hours in one time POS spamming systems to prevent the attacker from getting 51% more pos's in a system then the defender. It required huge dedication, isk and coordination. Now, if you get Attacker X > Defender Y in # of pilots and make sure they attend only 6 operations, you get the entire system. After getting your butts kicked a few times the defender will give up and the attacker basically steam rolls the entire system. I do not see the new mechanics as an improvement to the game.

a system that requires simultaneous participation from multiple forces in different locations at the same time. In simple terms, find a way to split up the large fights into smaller ones that have to happen before a system is taken. Its one way to reduce the fleet numbers.

1. The attacker in the current system is the one that has the greatest difficulties. The attacker would benefit a lot from the participation of their pilots and allies


2. Pilots would participate more if the environment was less laggy, because they want fun!


3. So the attacker forces would get benefits from having less lag. Theoretically, a way to improve server performance would be to attack N systems at once, having N fights on N different nodes.


4. But unfortunately, this is never going to happen because the defender can concentrate his forces and wipe the different attacking forces one by one on different episodes.
