bah.. pit minmatars against amarrans. Shake it up and watch the most colossal battle in gaming history he he : )
However...
A 5th party directed by the game masters would be interesting though. Would give players a chance to unite against an organised and intelligent foe. It would create a persistent war and vivid storyline. There would be mass events and the lucky few would be elevated to hero status (those who kill GM's).
Heck, get behind Angels/Sanchas/Joves ect and give them a purpose and make them a real threat! Instead of parading them around random locations like mobile practice targets with no purpose. If they had a guiding hand to assert themselves in the storyline, actually had a plan and some human leadership (GM) it would make the enemies in eve more believable. And war storylines are always exciting.
Although I know a system like this sometimes exists (reading events/news). I am not referring to the odd event that only the lucky few & elite get to be involved in. Those who happen to be in the 0.5% of the population who is in the right place and time to catch a game master doing the occasional expidition in a jove ship on a friday night at "prime time" (while i am invariably sleeping ofcourse). Im talking wide scale! Anybody can pick up a turret and join the action, get involved in persistent storylines and headlines.
I think the author might be thinking of a situation like "invasion of the conflux" ala Jumpgate (www.jossh.com). NPC's rally and do invasions. Either randomly, or under the directing hand of a Game master which ties in nicely with a plot. The generals of the invasion are actually piloted by GM's. Those who can down a GM are given fame and fortune. Success and failure of battles changes the direction of the storyline. This recruits dedicated teams of combat pilots like nothing else. It sure beats flying to coordinates X and killing 7 sanchas who are just waiting to be killed (for some reason). Not that there's anything wrong with random encounters and mission systems. But in NPC battling terms, there could be more. Throwing in the human touch makes it all the more challenging (we play online games to play with and against other people, right? not blast practice targets all month and then get ganked at a stargate when we are caught unawares. Real intelligent combat with a purpose, thats where its at.) And tying it in with relevant storyline makes it all the more significant.
Good thinking.
p.s. the better the idea or breakthrough, the more criticism and flak you will receive!

I think we as players deserve this. I think its time has come to start Role Play PVE. I just hope the devs can handle a defeat like they never felt before.
Could you imagine getting Polaris corpses.............

interesting idea to pursue - a 5th race that can influence outer systems - or perhaps launch a co ordinated invasion of certain outer systems - perhaps the storyline could alter changes in the government and station status of certain systems ?

Just have a "Day of the Drones" when all the rogue drones implement their 'final solution' to getting rid of all the pod pilots . . . All concord will be pulled back to 0.7 and higher space to defend/hold the gates and pod pilots will called upon to push back the swarms that appear . . .

If EvE online could take over som the good parts of "Earth and Beyond" then that could be cool. I would like to walk in the station, like I were able in EnB and manufacture things inside.
It would be allso nice if some of the prime planets surfaces would be visitable like in EnB.
As a moddeler my self I don't think it will take very long time to model up the planet side like in EnB... Alltho I don't know much about the game code it should still go quite quick.
(Maybe 1 month of a layzy man work  )
Btw comeing back to the topic... pirate drone atack would be a very good idea... Then we could all work together an so on,+ that could even give a new side to the eve, buy smoothing the realations between pirates and other players.
it's easy if ya know how... .c. |

I like the idea of Drones too, and concord moving to 0.7 and up, however I'm not sure if that will unite "light side" players with pirates, because i'm sure there will be tons of peeps who will take the opportunity to kill those who go anti drone. |

Im game for this. Drone Virus infects and turns drones. Concorde and region police forces forced to hold Major sys 0.7 + and possibly secure stations down to 0.5. Drones have free range.
Corporations required to assist in defeating the threat. Imagine being in sys when maydays go out from the huge stations under attack, their police bs destroyed or boarded/corrupted. Sentry guns being corrupted and turned on the stations and players.
Could drones corrupt a players drones, use them against u after a time in space, making drones a calculated gamble??
Something like this would be a Blast.
