CCP Guard	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:04:00 - [1] Edited by: CCP Guard on 09/05/2011 14:11:00 Hey, everyone Some of you remember a thread from back in 2008 where CCP Zulu answered all your questions all by himself. We decided itæs high time we did another one of those. Itæs question time! Please post your question in this thread between 05.09.11/14:00 UTC and 05.11.11/00:00 UTC. Our goal is to have them all answered by 05.13.11/16:00 UTC Given the fact that there are 150,000 more of you than last time, we decided to call in reinforcements as well so poor Zulu wouldnæt be overwhelmed. The elite squad of know it alls answering your questions will be comprised of: CCP Zulu û Senior producer CCP Hammerhead û Lead Game Designer CCP TomB - Producer CCP Tuxford û Software Engineer GM Spiral û Senior Game Master GM Lelouch û Senior Game Master Yours truly û Community Developer ...and we might just have guest appearances from other devs as well. Now letæs discuss rules and guidelines. 1. Answers will be presented in a separate thread. 2. Some information we may not be able to give you, like exact launch dates we havenæt committed to, security details we donæt want to share, or intimate secrets from our personal lives. We will try to answer everything as best we can though, and we will tell you why we canæt provide the desired information. 3. Be patient and donæt repeat your questions. It may take a little time to get to your question but we will get to it. 4. Help us help you by keeping the thread clean of discussions about the questions. There are many other threads where discussion can flourish. 5. We will keep the thread open for three days. Then weæll lock it and finish answering any remaining questions. 6. Questions will also be gathered from Facebook (link to thread TBA) and Twitter (include #askeve in your question) during the timeframe and copied with credit to the questioner by @ccp_manifest into the official thread to be answered there.

Abdiel Kavash Caldari Paladin Order Fidelas Constans	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:17:00 - [3] Why can't the forum remember my settings (show pictures / signatures / default character) when I log out or close the browser?

moose crap Gallente Urkrathos Corp LEGIO ASTARTES ARCANUM	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:17:00 - [5] Will the old warp sound ever be coming back?

Brokers Clone	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:21:00 - [8] Will we ever get Contrails/exhaust back? It may not be 100% realistic, but without something like that, there is no longer any real sense of speed/movement Looking at a toon, the only indication that it is moving is because there's a flame on the ass end of it....

Do you plan on adding the contents of Planetary Customs Offices to the Assets window? I can't be the only one with lost/forgotten materials out there.
Ingvar Angst Amarr Nasty Pope Holding Corp Talocan United	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:26:00 - [10] How'd I get on the front page? Also, with regards to bots, how are the efforts progressing on removing bots and what estimated financial impact would banning all known or highly suspected bots have on CCP?

Silicon Sailor	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:27:00 - [11] Eventually, WIS will become a reality. Yea(maybe) The thing I REALLY want to know is if the WIS experience will be like Orgramar-WOW. Will I need to run around to lots of little huts/offices to accomplish the things I USED to do in the ship? Run Run Run to the Market to buy a module Run Run Run to the shipyard to fit that module Run Run Run to Insurance Run Run Run to the repair yards Run Run Run to the mission Agents Run Run Run to the "Special/Covert/Storyline" agents, in their very own area...

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:31:00 - [12] @CCP Guard, why the name 'Guard' and community developer, are you trying to hide something from us? @ALL, When will Kieron be back?! /c Secure 3rd party service \| my in-game channel 'Holy Veldspar'

Oussamoussa	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:32:00 - [13] Will industrial ships ever do industrial tasks as opposed to being just haulers? And what happened to the industrial expansion?
Knug LiDi N00bFleeT	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:32:00 - [14] 1. Is a review/revamp/start over of the POS interface/POS management coming soon ? 2. Will anchored structures (especially those at a POS) be nameable ? 3. Will the Rokh receive its 25 m3 additional drone space ? 4. Will the ability to manage skill queue be extended to EVE gate ? -------------- If only we could fall into another's arms, without falling into their hands.
Wrayeth EdgeGamers Drop the Hammer	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:33:00 - [15] For some of the players who've been around for a bit, we find that the game, while still fun and worth playing, was much more enjoyable in 2004, 2005, and the first half of 2006. Back then, it was possible to make a name for yourself in solo and small group PvP, with the focus being more evenly balanced between solo, small gang, and large scale PvP than it is today. With the increased number of players all playing in the same numbers of systems (minus WH space) and various mechanics changes (hitpoint increase, RR specialized ships, over-specialized ships), good solo and small gang fights have become almost impossible to find anywhere outside of wormhole space, and the focus seems to have shifted more towards large fleet battles. Are there plans to move back towards a more balanced focus between the different playstles, or is CCP generally happy with the state of things as they are now? -Wrayeth --> Insert Useless Signature Here <--
Robot Robot	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:42:00 - [16] Were you spying on me back in 1993 back when I was going around telling everybody about how great Wing Commander Privateer was and how if someday someone was able to make a multiplayer version of it where hundreds of people could play over modems then there would never be a need for anyone else to make another videogame ever again? (also, why can't we paint our ships? Even just like have a choice from like a dozen primary pallette and a dozen detail pallette options...)

CCP Manifest C C P	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:43:00 - [17] Edited by: CCP Manifest on 09/05/2011 14:43:29 (From the EVE Facebook thread) On behalf of Florian Ratz: will there be advanced tier2 BCs in the future? CCP Manifest Public Relations \|\| Iniquitous Brute

Palovana Caldari Inner Fire Inc.	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:44:00 - [18] (I know that Linux is now officially unsupported). Do any devs run Linux themselves, or do any basic testing to see if the client will run and that basic functionality is not broken in Linux with Wine? ----- Your Plain Text Cookie perfectly strikes New Forums, wrecking for inifnite damage.
xXxSatsujinxXx Whacky Waving Inflatable Flailing Arm Tubemen	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:44:00 - [19] Where do babies come from?
Laviski UK Corp -Mostly Harmless-	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:44:00 - [20] Instead of asking all range of questions relating to 0.0 life. Would ccp Consider (however unlikly)delaying all new content for 6 months and devote all attention to fixing/tweaking current content within the game? ie: lag, pos structures, ship bonuses, etc

Efraya Minmatar	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:44:00 - [21] Will mining be worked on to combat macro use and to make the mining experience more interactive or not? Signature removed for not being EVE related. Zymurgist
Brzaka	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:45:00 - [22] Is it practical to give defender missiles a fleet support role, or are the interactions too complex? Also, could you marry them with a new T2 or faction destroyer hull (bonuses against missiles and drones, say). This way you could bring to unloved components into the fold.
Wolf Kolona Gallente GONE RETARD BACK LATER	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:45:00 - [23] Okies, I Know your all probably sick to death of questions about the new expansion, but could we have any more juicy details on Incarna and its future? Also, What features are planned for eve beyond Incarna? (Anything to help out the prospect of lowsec PVP or those damned aggression mechanics? and if so, how far off? ) And this is a general compliment to the bang-up job you guys are doing, keep up the good work! Lastly, @CCP Hammerhead - Does your head really look like a hammer?!?! Wolfy
agent apple Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:45:00 - [24] back in the original thread, it was asked if you could make the warp speed of ships a more important factor, since as it is now there isn't a big difference between ship sizes in the actual time you spend from warping from A to B. This is because most of the time in warp is spent on accelerating and decelerating and in that part all ship classes are equal (or if there's a difference it's way too small)
Xelena Shellar	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:45:00 - [25] When exploration sites are completed, what exactly determines where/when they respawn? Is this answer also applicable to sites within wormholes? Basically, I'm an explorer and I want to understand the behind the scenes stuff that determines how/when/where/why sites are generated.

brutorans Minmatar V I R I I Merciless.	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:47:00 - [29] Are there any plans to address the issues with the Naglfar dread. Given that past changes were not successful, will CCP take another stab at trying to address the issues with this ship? however i still think PL fleets should indicate the ingredients, calorie content and number of servings.

CCP Manifest C C P	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:48:00 - [31] (from the EVE Facebook thread) On behalf of Nick Berry: With the era of the strategic cruiser come and gone, how does CCP plan to develop other Tier 3 ships? Most would say the major fleet roles have been filled. So, to sum up, what are some of CCP's plans for Tier 3 ships and what do fleet battles lack in the eyes of CCP that a ship could fill, as opposed to a ship mod?

Giselay Academy of Decadence United Front Alliance	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:48:00 - [32] Why can't we reduce the cooldown of Jumpclones to 23 hours? Otherwise when I jump daily there is at least one day I cant jump due to the fact that I loose a couple of minutes all day (sometimes to my wife ;) Of course I would prefer it even shorter. - Don't scam me -
Tork Norand Mechanical Eagles Inc. The Ancients.	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:48:00 - [33] Are there plans for other size T3 ships? If so, what's the time line on them? Thanks! --Tork Norand, CEO.

Xylengra	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:50:00 - [35] Will we ever have any meaningful, verifiable, reportage on CCP's efforts to curtail botting? If not, why? If so, when?
Daenna Chrysi Amarr Omega Foundry Unit Shadows Of Betrayal	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:50:00 - [36] Couple questions Will there be any new T3 ships in the game, or are the strategic cruisers end of the line for T3 ships? Will there ever be new POS structures, that would make the POS look like a proper station, instead looking like something a freighter puked up?
Virtue Maulerant	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:51:00 - [37] Edited by: Virtue Maulerant on 09/05/2011 14:54:00 1.Has a T3 Industrial ship type ever been considered, offering not higher yields than that of the hulk but sporting the characteristic versality of T3 enabling it to excel in different areas with the change of a subsystem? Good example 2.The POSs in their current state offer several difficulties as a result of outdated and impractical desigh.In most cases operating out of a POS is a horrible experience.As evidenced here, here and here there is massive support for their revamp for a very long time.Are there any plans to rework their outdated mechanics,functions and art? 3.Can we expect the new Nebulae,the new Turret Effects and the very much needed new Missile effect within a reasonable timeframe? Thank you CCP.
Luke Hartelse	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:51:00 - [38] When are going to realise that you need to fix the game utself before adding new content? Yes new content is nice but having the current content work is something I'd prefer, most of all null sec being fun again? Instead of the fight being determined by whoever has the biggest fleet and jumps in first. Luke
Horace Nancyball	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:51:00 - [39] Assuming jamming is adjusted in the near future (?) so we can actually fight at all, are you intending EW to become more of an "effective" weapon in the npc armoury in future?

Squizz Caphinator Woopatang Primary.	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:52:00 - [42] Will the next API iteration include Alliance API's? Example: API for Kills/Losses within an Alliance API for Member Tracking within an Alliance API for Starbases within an Alliance etc. etc. These are available for Corporations but would be extremely useful to large Alliances. -- EveChatter

CCP Manifest C C P	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:55:00 - [47] From the EVE Facebook thread. On behalf of Christopher Dayringer: When are you just going to remove supercapitals from game and return the real isk value to the pilots, shove their mods in a hanger, and refund all the supercap specific SP? They are completely broken, and probably not fixable in any fair manner, and all of EVE would be better off if they were gone. -A titan pilot CCP Manifest Public Relations \|\| Iniquitous Brute

(ie, missions, mining, PvP etc) 2) Why is a lot of important game information hidden from the player (like mob damage types & resistances) 3) Are their any plans to improve the missions & agents system in the game (and not just the stuff annouced in fan fest)? 4) What activities do the devs enjoy doing in the game (PvP, PvE, mining etc)? 5) Where do you guys see (or would like to see) the game in 1/3/5 years time?

Ore Grinder	Posted - 2011.05.09 14:59:00 - [53] Originally by: agent apple Edited by: agent apple on 09/05/2011 14:47:03 back in the original thread, it was asked if you could make the warp speed of ships a more important factor, since as it is now there isn't a big difference between ship sizes in the actual time you spend from warping from A to B. This is because most of the time in warp is spent on accelerating and decelerating and in that part all ship classes are equal (or if there's a difference it's way too small) Zulu said he liked this back then, but afaik there hasn't been any mention of it since Yeah, warp acceleration should not be the same for all ships. An interceptor should reach max warp speed in like 3 seconds and a battleship should reach top end warp speed in 12 or more. This could end up leaving stragglers on the field and add a strategy to the game. If you don't fleet warp or are not aligned your fat BS might be be left behind while the more nimble support or shield tankers make it out.

Regat Kozovv Caldari Alcothology	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:00:00 - [56] EVE is a wonderful game. EVE also has a very rich universe. That universe is woefully underdeveloped in terms of content: Missions, story, exploration. Many new features have been added, but very little in terms of deep, engrossing story. Those parts that have been written largely exist in the books and chronicles (which have been discontinued?) and not in game. The new mechanics like Epic Arcs, Exploration, COSMOS, and the "Level" mission systems all seem to have been created with the idea of creating a deep content framework, only to be dropped soon after release. There is very little narrative that moves in a continuing basis, just little bullets scattered here and there with no arc in between. Does EVE have a plan to offer really deep content like we see in other MMOs to the world, or will the "player-driven null-sec" model continue to be the norm? Originally by: CCP Atropos THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

Raquel Smith Caldari Freedom-Technologies Sev3rance	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:01:00 - [59] I have a few questions! * What is the feature timeline for the API? What additional things will we see at what time? (Asking for a planning timeline broken down by quarter, i.e., "we plan to have X, Y, Z done by 2011Q3") * Why are supercapital ships so powerful? * Can we get some market stats breakdown by station? Would be nice to see what trade is being done in systems in The Forge but Jita skews everything. * Skill queue of more than 24 hours?

Belzavior	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:02:00 - [63] Will there ever be a way for researchers to modify stats of blueprints slightly to give manufacturing corps and players the ability to compete in the quality arena and not just the cost side? While these would clutter the normal market, they seem like a good candidate for in station stores and a reason to visit them. Is more t3 in the pipeline such as other ships and modules?

Skyy Caldari Sigillum Militum Xpisti Important Internet Spaceship League	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:02:00 - [66] I basically stopped playing due to the harsh player/alliance macroers out there that pretty much dishearten everything a justified player/alliance does. I still pay my bill. I still train... and I still wait for the day CCP puts a stop to bots ever growing unlimited isk farms. Frankly, I've been in this game since it's been released. The devoted time and effort I put in seems quite tarnished by the mass of botters. So my question to you all... when are you going to put in extreme measures to eliminate botters and give the game back to the common human soul that actually plays? It's time to stop turning a blind eye to them... we all know they are extra cash in CCPs wallet, but it's also a massive blow to the game itself. The whole idea of Eve is no longer Eve as long as bots rule. Peace.

Or maybe "next patch" or something? 2. Are you going to fix the UI?

Mnementh2231	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:04:00 - [73] It's a several-part question:) Is the reason that Cyno's aren't allowed in WH-Space something simple like as to prevent people from mining ops with instant in-system backup, or is it something more devious like WH-Space systems being laid out in the same format as k-space systems, and the potential for jumping about between systems or from k-space to w-space exists? Also, tell me this isn't a delicious solution to macro-miners?

Perhaps get rid of the unknown combat signatures and just fold them into cosmic anomalies?

I've always thought that carriers, dreads, and motherships should be able to use a star or station as a reference point to jump between systems. Cyno beacons are alright, but since you can only have one per system and they are alliance tools, it means that independent carrier pilots can't go anywhere or do anything.

Where else do you plan to put those new ship models? It could work for 'Allied' Factions. Such as combining amarr and Caldari, as well as gallente and Minmatar. The price would be in LP,while also requiring High negative(-8) standings toward enemies, and Hi positive(+8) standings for allies. Make them non- sellable, functioning as a ship for 'dedicated officers' in the war for those combined factions. That should make it non-profitable and add a degree of enjoyment to FW.

Secondly: The recent birthday celebrations reminded me fondly of past and (without trying to be mean) far more inspiring birthday celebrations. In particular the second birthday event, where half the cluster chased Salvador Sarpati in his stolen Gallente Solteur all the way to Serpentis Prime, while various player factions assisted his flight. My question is whether there are any plans to revisit this plot in the future? The Serpentis laid their hands on one of the most powerful ships in EVE and I for one have been waiting for the other shoe to drop for years now.

Fon Revedhort Monks of War DarkSide.	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:21:00 - [106] Each paragraph pretty much stands for a separate issue. I humbly ask you to answer the general idea behind each of those. Don't you think it's way too easy to organise a cyno hot-drop at the moment? Don't you think the victim has to possess some kind of tool to counter it or at least to get warned that the enemy's ship is equipped with a cynogenerator? Current game mechanics on this is very one sided. Don't you think there are too many tier2 battlecruisers in the game atm, especially Drakes? Do you really believe this is a pure accident or you actually screwed the game balance back in those days you introduced tier2's? Don't you think that risk vs reward paradigm is to be applied to the ship balance issues? Tier2 BC owners run their ships at almost 0 zero (ship cost is a joke here), yet they enjoy most of the perfomance of expensive classes (BS, HAC and CS). Why are you so shy at nerfing things which are clearly overpowered? Don't you think the players should not be punished for being successful? Why is it that easy to determine who exactly pilots any given ship in grid or who exactly enters the system? If anything, why can't you change it the way that makes any newcomer look like a John Smith with a standings icon attached to his face? Why don't you fix NH's powergrid issue? Everyone agrees it's broken. Why do you think cruise missiles need that huge range? They clearly lack DPS and no one needs to shoot missiles up to 250 km - and even if he does, then he can alter his setup and utilize special rigs for that. Are you going to address rigs (a huge pile of issues there) in any reasonable timeframe? What would you say on mobilizing the best players (PvP-oriented) and organizing some kinds of round tables or w/e else to discuss game issues? You can make your pick without even disclosing the actual names. I'm pretty sure everyone will benefit from a better game balance, especially considering how sleepy CCP itself is with its actions. It's 18 months since Dominion release and I'm yet to see any sign of CCP actually planning some real shifts. Make this cabinet subordinate to CSM or whatever - what I'm saying is that we really lack feedback from devs while the game is in a FUBAR state. This comes exactly from everyone and his dog submitting some crap while decent ideas end up being burried deep down among those piles. If anything, make an elite forum section and impose a fee for posting - say, 100 mil isk will keep most trolls and incompetent ones away from it.

Emmy Mnemonic	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:37:00 - [137] Handling of coordinates is a bit stone age in EVE. To share a bookmark (i.e. 3D-coordinates x-y-z) to something you have to drag-n-drop to your cargo, then eject the bms into a can, possibly in several copies, and then your fleet-mates have to physically pick them and drag-n-drop them into their cargo and THEN drag-n-drop them in a bookmark list... Dammit! The days when we scribbled down coordinates on sheets of papers, and delivered them to each others in boxes containing those papers are long gone. Today (i.e. now IRL) modern military systems share thousands of coordinates in real-time over advanced radio data links. Sending coordinates over digital radio has in fact been done since the 60-ies-something. Even civilian systems handles this today; you can SMS a Long-Lat coordinate to a friend, who then can "navigate" to it using his built-in GPS in his cell-phone. You don't have to scribble it on a paper and deliver it to your friend in a box... EVE is supposed to have a "plausible" modelling of physics and functions in this sci-fi EVE universe some 30 000 years from now, but this thing with BMs is just silly! We should be able to broadcast a warp-to-coordinate to eachother momentarily without dropping cans'n'stuff, we should be able to warp to any coordinate (x,y,z) in a system etc without having to randomly make a bookmark while warping between planets/moons/jumpgates/plexes - it's just so...un-modern! So, you've got the point I guess. Now the question: When will EVE have a more efficient, plausible, playable and realistic way of sharing and handling coordinates!?
Andrev Nox SOMER Blink Cognitive Development	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:37:00 - [138] Currently, the only benefit to Sov4 is enabling the 3rd tier outpost upgrade, and there is no benefit to the recently created Sov5. Are there plans in place to make having held the system for these longer times more beneficial, or is this working as intended?

Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:40:00 - [141] Edited by: Tres Farmer on 09/05/2011 15:46:52 1) Projection of Power (The blob is just a cyno away) Does CCP/Gamedesign see a problem with current gamemechanics (cyno/jumpbridges), that allow the projection of power over large distances 30-50LY within a very short timeframe? Is there a common vision within CCP to bring that number down, for example 10-15LY? 2) Traveltimes (Eve feels small) Does CCP/Gamedesign see a problem with current traveltimes (WTZ) which allows players to cover vast distances fast and which leads to congestion in Jita? Is there a wish within CCP to slow travel down somewhat? 3) Stargates/Population (Gateblockade) Does CCP monitor population vs. infrastructure usage? The number of players in the last 4 years have doubled/tripled, which causes way more forced interaction at choke-points than in the past. This is most apparent at high/low-sec and low/null-sec borderlines. Is there a vision within CCP to alleviate the pressure on those choke-points? 4) Intel (Local, D-scan, Probing, Overview, Map) The ongoing discussions on local as intel tool and the colourful mix of the above mentioned tools to get information about the environment show big interest by the playerbase to get some changes/nerfs/buffs in those area. What is the point of view of CCP on this? 5) Low Sec (Barren wasteland) Same here, some parts of the playerbase find the current gamemechanics cause that low sec is underutilised and provides not enough reward for the risk involved. Especially the latent danger of getting hot-dropped by capitals from several LY away (again projection of power) and the efficient probing mechanics (being pinned down within 30seconds is not unheard of) leads to a dwindling number of activities a player can do in low sec without loosing his ship. What is the point of view of CCP on this? 6) Feature&Idea Discussions Subforum (No Dev to see) Why is it that there are nearly no Dev replies in the F&I forums.. not even in the threads that are more popular than others and span several pages? I don't want Gamedesign to read every thread and answer every post that's in them.. but discussing/stating opinions on some of the threads every other day.. or even just once a week would go such a long way. 7) Will New Eden ever see the celestial bodies moving (Planets, Moons, Stations, ..)? Sorry if some of those already have been asked, but as I started writing the thread was only 15 posts long.. now it spans 5 pages Thanks for any answer!

Seethyre	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:41:00 - [142] Ship boarding action. possible pirate added mechanic ( for lowsec pvp). Using militants in conjunction with either a specialized mod, or specialized ship with mod to launch boarding boats at a target ship. Configure them to either A) cause damage over time ( sabotage) or B) force eject the pilot in order to steal the ship. Different actions require different amounts of militants ( excess mission item). The counter to such an attack is 1) the reppers on your ship. and 2) having your own militants in cargo hold to defend boarders. It would bring a sense of actually having a crew on your ship like the chronicles depict. In addition to sabotage, militants could focus on certain "sections" of a ship. Focus on engines to lower speed, Guns, different engineering sections that cause warp issues, ( not land exactly on destination, require more cap etc.) Having done the whole lowsec pirate, it wasn't always about the kill. Ransoms, telling a pilot to eject and surrender his ship. or eject his cargo were all equally gratifying if not a little more then kerslpoding the ship and hoping something dropped.

Jennifer Starling Imperial Navy Forum Patrol	Posted - 2011.05.09 15:41:00 - [144] My Questions Incarna 1. Will we get more hairstyles? I don't think the current number is sufficient; 2. Why no length adjustment? Even if you say it's to let animations fit there's still a variety possible between standard male and female length; 3. Clothes; once it was mentioned that we could get player made clothes and shops. What's your current view on this, clothes packs for plex ("vanity items")? Any answer is better than none; 4. Since bloodlines look unrecognbizable from what we picked when we made our characters, will there be an option to change bloodlines (or races)? Other 5. What's the current status of the combat/haul mission agent idea? Any ETA? 6. Why do you get a faction decrease from shooting enemy faction ships but not a derived increase? Shooting the arch enemy's ships seems a lot more important to me than hauling a few papers to a station 1 system away; 7. Why are there so many asymmetrical ships? It makes no sense whatsoever; 8. Why do we bump into collidable objects when we're supposed to have navigators? 9. Why can't you haul rigged ships in most industrials but you suddenly can when they're in a haul contract? Everyone and his dog lets an alt contract it and you can haul your rigged ships perfectly. Why not remove the "can not haul rigged ships" altogether since it's nonsensical anyway? Thanks for answering! ^^ Jen

Are those constellations excluded, so there can never be incursions there? If they are excluded, good, let it remain that way. If not; are there any plans to exclude those constellations?

I think this question was touched on already, but it's a serious issue. I'm a very vain person, and I love the Dominix, when I'm not staring at it. Could you please PLEASE revamp the model like you did for the Scorpion? It pains me to look at it. 2. It doesn't seem like low-sec piracy gets any love anymore. Nevermind the outrageously hard time making isk, if you could fix, or at least modify the mechanics of standings losses, it would make life a lot easier and more fun. Also, drone ships like the Dominix and Myrmidon are seriously hampered if fighting on a gate, because the gates kill the drones as fast as you can launch them. If gates only shot ships and not drones, it would definitely even things out with a very simple solution. Thanks beforehand. Southside OMS yo'.

No aggresivity at all in this question: I have no problem with the current size a 1920x1200 23" monitor. But several friends have been trying EVE Online. They loved it, but they did not even complete their 21-days trial because their eyes bled too much trying to read the UI. Playing in non-native resolution was not an acceptable solution according to them and I can understand their opinion. 2. If yes, could you provide a approximate ETA? A rough ETA (let's say a several-months scale if nothing more acurate is possible) is better than no information at all!

Yet, you have been ignoring FW for the most part since its incarnation in 2008.

Wraith Shadowstorm	Posted - 2011.05.09 16:01:00 - [172] Your in the 4th or 5th room of a mission. Your ships leaking plasma, your pod is leaking goo and your all out of coffee. You warp out, repair and replenish and then have to jump thru all the previously cleared rooms. Sometimes your placed 80-100km or more from the next gate. Solution: Give us the ability to bookmark the room were in at the moment. When we use the bookmark it places us at 0km at the gate to that room. If its room 4 your in room 3 at 4's gate. Why the previous gate? Simple this avoids people exploiting this by jumping ships in that werent meant for the mission. The gate restrictions still apply. All this does is speed up the mission running for those of us not in superfast frigs.

Back in the 2008 thread CCP Zulu posted that he was going to try and implement delayed local. It is understood that this is a significant change to game mechanics that requires extensive upgrades to d-scan mechanics and some ship balancing (mainly cloackers). Do you still have such plans and if so do you have some schedule that you can share with us? 2. The current Captain's Quarters implementation calls for mandatory disembarkation every time you dock (no ship spinning view). The feedback thread for Duality CQ test contains a significant number of player requests to keep the ship-spinning view (for various reasons, ranging from performance to immersion). Given that the graphics assets for the ship-spinning view are still in use in CQ implementation, and keeping that view would not significantly impact (if at all) developer resources or Incarna design, can you commit to keeping this player requested feature? 3. Engine trails and better cyno graphics. When??? 4. Please update the Dominix model and skin!!!11 I mean the space-potato could use a little streamlining. Thanks! ...

Marlenus Ironfleet Towing And Salvage	Posted - 2011.05.09 16:27:00 - [212] A very long time ago, there was talk of a salvage reprocessing feature being about one expansion away. (I believe the idea was that surplus broken salvage could be reprocessed into the salvage used to make TII rigs, or into something else useful/valuable.) Obviously that never happened. Should we still be waiting? Or has that idea died forever? I hope not -- in the Noctis era salvage is in surplus, so a "salvage sink" would be awesome. ------------------ Ironfleet.com

That blog with the new shiny Scorpion. 2) Are there plans to revamp stargates and space stations fitting to the new spaceship graphics? 3) When will we see the new turret models + new turret effects showed on fan fest? 4) Will we get missiles which are flying separately, each one launched by a visible missile launcher? In other words: are there plans to replace the current one-single-super-missile effect? 5) Are there plans for a hybrid gun fix? 6) Are there plans to re-adjust fleet and field command ships? They seem a bit outdated imho -> Fleet command ships vs. boosting T3; field command ship vs. tier2 BC. 7) Are there plans to remove the ship tier system? 8) Are there plans to replace current POSes by single objects in space (instead of the current "park" of facilities) - maybe using the lego-technology introduced with T3? If so: would there be race specific player owned stations? 9) Are there plans to rework some audio effects (turrets, modules like ECCM or sensor booster)?

(4-5k for a XL Ship Assembly Array for example). Why can't I repackage items located in a Corporate Hangar Array? Will I ever be able to take advantage of saved fits/quick fitting changes at a SMA/CHA? Why do various things that you drop materials into not act consistently when you try to drop too large of a stack onto them? I put too large of a stack into a cargohold or can it'll prompt me with the max that will fit. I put too much ore into a refinery array and it'll just fail saying it's too much to fit and I have to shift-drop to get it to allow me to specify an amount. Will there every been a concerted effort by CCP to highlight the new features/fixes that were announced and dropped from previous releases and say once and for all if they've been permanently canceled, forever consigned to the backlog, or on the roadmap to actually be picked up again? ISTR various industrialist features of Quantum Rise that were dropped at the last minute and never heard from again.

Not that afk cloakers are a big nuisance, but instead of having them ****ing people off in home systems, how about giving them some retribution? Plus, cloaked ratting bots could be hunted, for the greatest pleasure of a lot of players (well, human ones at least).

I like a lot of others pay for multiple accounts since we can only train one character per account at a time. What about allowing alts on the same account to train at reduced training speed. It go something like this; Main trains at full speed, second character on the account at half speed and the third at a quarter speed. Then create a mechanic to allow a choice as which of the three characters are training at which speed. I realize this would possibly have a negative affect on revenue but there are still plenty of users that want to run multiple characters concurrently. Thanks

I realize that content that nobody uses is a low priority for fixing, but most of the T1 ships in the game are simply garbage because of it. Specifically, it makes "secondary" racial ships (Moa/Caracal, Ferox/Drake, Brutix/Myrm, Vexor/Thorax, Stabber/Rupture, etc) have fewer slots, less fittings, less cap, less HP. It greatly limits the utility in training certain skill paths. 2. Are you satisfied with the usage rates of the "lower tier" faction cruisers added for Faction Warfare? Are there any plans to boost them? 3. Do you see Hybrid weapons as performing adequately in the mid range combat arena we see today? Are there any plans in the works for fixing any issues you see? Do you have an ETA if so? 4. Do you see Sensor Damps as being balanced when compared to other ewars? Was the Sensor Damp nerf over the top? Do you have an ETA if so? 5. Do you see all Field Command Ships as performing adequately given their price/performance ratings vs Tier 2 BCs and T3s? 6. Do you see any problems with interdiction nullifying, bonused scan probing, covert ops cloaking, extremely agile, Alt AFK T3 gang boosters? Do you think you'll go about nerfing T3s or boosting Fleet Commands? Or both - by perhaps bringing Fleet Command bonuses to 5%? 7. Do you have any plans to improve The POS Experience? Perhaps implementing the POS fuel pellets (what is the technical issue with that anyway?), or perhaps a "POS Design Blueprint" that automates the process of setting up a POS. How about naming specific POS modules (CHA/SHA)? Adding a "Corporate Locker" POS module where each person has their own Hangar Floor? Do you have an ETA if so? 8. Do you have plans to add content/exports to Wormhole space before you nerf the Blue Drops (as was mentioned as a possibility in the recent QEN)? Do you have an ETA if so? 9. Do you have plans to fix Faction Warfare in a meaningful way? Do you have an ETA if so? 10. What do you think of Low Sec and the many player suggestions to fix it? Do you believe it's actually broken yourself? Do you have any plans to fix it? Do you have an ETA if so? That's probably enough for now. -Liang Ed: Actually: 11. What do you think of the current Capital/Supercapital proliferation happening in Eve? Are all the capitals balanced with each other? Do they all have fittings appropriate to their use (Chimera CPU, Nidhoggur Grid/Cap, etc)? Are supercapitals too powerful? Do you have solid plans to reign them in?

It be great to form a fleet and have everyone be able to grab the same overview settings from a fleet tab. 2. More colors or color patterns for overview filters. Currently you can have a filter / color flash or not flash. How about over the top turbo flashy speed for those really bad MFs that you really want to be aware of. Also have more colors available like red / blue strip color back ground when your just not sure if this guy can be trusted etc. Of course you'll need to add the rainbow background with necessary unicorn icon.

Do you believe that there is enough tactical flexibility for super capital ships in combat? It seems most of the time that the side with the most wins. Instead of the side with the best tactics + enough numbers.

Professor Liedenbrock	Posted - 2011.05.09 17:21:00 - [266] Let's play 20 questions... 1. Will you ever fix locking BPO's so that it doesn't take FOREEVER to lock one, like hello... A Lock all button. and a approve all button. 2. Will we ever be able to repair a ship from a POS... (think WH space) 3. Will we ever be able to name a container inside a POS, PLEASE PLEASE. 4. Will we ever be able to OPEN a container inside a POS? 5. When will you revamp POS roles? 6. Will you have the same priority to stop market bots as mining bots, IMHO, you should ban market bots first as there would be near zero market impact on stopping those guys and would give us non-botters a fighting chance in Jita. 7. Will you figure out how to slow, stop bot spamming in Jita local? 8. Can we please have a warp to zero feature for Auto=Pilot? 9. If you want to stop a lot of mining botting, how bout allowing an ORCA to fit miners? 10. When will we get some automation (read less clicking) in PI, like stored settings. 11. Here's something I really want to know, how far are we jumping (in AU's) between each jump?? Would give us a nice submersion by allowing us to know how big Eve really is. 12. Why can't you set up/move stations so that ships don't get hung up on NPC stations when undocking? 13. Why do you allow the game to represent we can warp through planets/moons/stations? 14. Why can't I get rid of the "your character has been approved for customization without changing it, I like it just the way it is? 15. When will be be able to search/view contents of containers/cargo holds through assets? 16. When will we be able to remotely process/reprocess items through assets? 17. When will we be able to link more items by clicking/dragging instead of typing (from EVERYWHERE) 18. Why oh WHY can't you guys make finding/linking an item smart?? Like if I ONLY find ONE item in the database, just link it already, don't show me a dialog with a list of ONE item in it. If I do that with a character/system/station/corporation and there is only one match it works fine, but not for items... sigh. 19. When will IPS and Dotlan maps sites be able to ACCURATELY tell me how many jumps/kills a WH has, it's RARELY accurate, why is that? 20. And Finally... Why does Eve play so much better when I'm drunk?
GooieGoober	Posted - 2011.05.09 17:26:00 - [267] Few questions: 1. For 3+ years people have been asking that Concorded players in high sec loose insurance payouts. I haven't seen any response to this. If I understand the mechs correctly...someone in a hulk gets ganked ->180+M + 5+M in insurance - 14M payout = 179M loss. Ganker-> 25M BC Cost + 8M insurance - 21M payout = 12M loss. Winner = Ganker It seems CCP is fine and dandy with this. Am I wrong? If concorded noob made a mistake...oh well. Hopefully they won't make it again. 2. Why cant there be moon mining in high sec just like PI? 3. Any thoughts on making sec security status variable as a result of FW? maybe make a weekly modification to the status? Have zones go from high to low and then opposite as the faction takes hold.

Mya Klingofer	Posted - 2011.05.09 17:41:00 - [275] 1. Will the June patch include the reported changes to boosters? --------------- 2. Are you going to change the way that storylines are currently implemented? What i mean is that currently, no-matter what type of division you do missions for you always end up in the same storyline pool. When you change the agents so you only get courier missions from a courier agent and NOTHING else, are you going to continue with a common pool of storylines OR are you to branch out the storylines seperately as well? So for instance, will a courier agent not only give me courier missions exclusively, but also will only ever offer courier storylines. If the answer is yes, will doing courier mission storylines give less faction standing gain than a kill agent that offers nothing but kill storylines?
DaeMon ix Minmatar The first genesis BricK sQuAD.	Posted - 2011.05.09 17:42:00 - [276] would you consider making IHUB upgrades targettable with reasonably low hp perhaps. Similar to the way in which station services are targettable. In this way you would provide small 10-20 man roaming gangs with an opportunity to 1. affect the local infrastructure and 2. attempt to force the locals cowering in station to actually fight :) Nett result would be to help in a small way to bring back the greatly missed small gang raiding parties that may actually get some fights without necessarily being blobbed out, thereby making the game FUN again.

Has anyone gone to look at them to see what is causing these .dll files to break? specically, blue.dll, trinity.dll are the two big ones that crash for me all the time. People have been abusing the wardec mechanic as of late by making a war then closing out the corp to have a 0 man corp in a war dec. Anyway of stopping this? There have been a lot of calls for ship balancing, and there are a lot of great ideas. What process do you guys take to evaluate how to see if these ideas are good or not of if they should be implemented? SEE Reference ASsembly hall thread of the great ship rebalance. cough navy ships need love cough Will Militants ever be useful for something? Going back to ship rebalance issue, say you at ccp come up with a plan and a set idea of changes, will you now in the future maybe in a new forum have threads that says, Current issue, proposed changes, and get good player feedback off of the proposed changes before they hit the test server? Wabbit Season or Duck Season? As the game grows larger so does the demand for mere service staff to address many of the whining of the player base, any plans to open a new office dedicated to public relations and or customer service, ie gm's?

Danny J Wallace	Posted - 2011.05.09 17:54:00 - [285] Given the recent report of apx 300k accounts, when factored against distinct IP addresses how many actual customers are playing. Since the PLEX system started there has been, based on my observation, a jump in the number of alt accounts. When I started playing and randomly asked around the average accounts per player was about 1.2 accounts per player (apx 2 years ago). Recently I started asking around and it was, based on the small sample size, 3.3 accounts per player. Given the population numbers from 2 years ago to now it would appear that we have actually lost actual players, but those that are playing simply have more accounts, distorting the figures. Q: At this time what are the apx number of real distinct players versus just a count of active accounts? Even a basic statistical analysis should give us a better approximation. Given 32k players online it should be trivial to get a count of distinct MAC\IP identifiers off the firewall and give us an approximate IPs\Account ratio. We could be in a rather unhealthy body count and not even know it without having a basic view of players versus accounts.

Empress Jamyl	Posted - 2011.05.09 17:59:00 - [293] Two things I'd like to ask. (1) Please speed up petition response times. I have had a few very fast ones myself but 95% have been hideously slow and some have never been replied to, which is maddening. I pay to play the game and expect proper answers as I would from any company out there who receives my custom. Please sort it out because atm it's not at all satisfactory and has prompted me to think about leaving the game once or twice where it is apparent you at CCP couldn't care less about my troubles. I pay YOU so I expect a response! (2) I'd like to see acts of crime punished harder and faster. Thievery should get a tough concorde response, since stealing is a crime it should be treated as such. If there is a mechanic in place to summon police response to aggression, then it can be implemented to deal with wreck/can thieves - atm I think the aggressors and crims in this game are more or less allowed to live that way with impunity. It's very unbalanced is what I am saying. I'd like something put in place that'll make the potential thief think a bit harder about what might happen to him if he nicks off with your stuff.
Damassys Kadesh Amarr Eternal Damnation of the Woken Mind	Posted - 2011.05.09 18:00:00 - [294] Edited by: Damassys Kadesh on 09/05/2011 18:01:31 Preface: I've been in Factional Warfare (Caldari) since basically the beginning. I've always enjoyed the easy-access PvP that it provides. But over time, it has severely decayed in numbers and action, mostly because of how easy it is to lose interest in the primary mechanic of the war: plexing. Question: Is FW on the radar for an update? And what are you thinking about changing to boost this feature to its full potential? Comments: People plexed for a while, but it quickly became apparent that there were no tangible rewards that made it worth the effort. A handful of people do the FW missions, but no where near enough to make an impact on the PvP landscape. I think I speak for all FW members, when I say I've been longing for a well overdue update to the feature that I partake in. Even starting with a flat boost (a large one) to loyalty point gain for plexing would get things started in the right direction. I think this feature still has a lot to offer players, and that it shouldn't be dismissed and left to wither away. One final example of the current state of FW: one of the top corps from each opposing faction (Gallente and Caldari) have set each other blue, because fighting each other is less appealing than pursuing other ventures. [EDIT] I just saw at least one person beat me to this question... but hopefully I have shed some additional light on the subject ;)

Other T3 ship variations, with configuration ability at pos. 2. Naming of POS structures. 3. Coporate Hangar Array : Ability to switch the subsections on/off, choosing between one large, or the 7 shared sections. (This should also apply to Orca and Rorqual) 4. Salvage Drones, will they ever be a issue? 5. Dronebay on Noctis. (Perhaps to yeild Salvage Drones) 6. Will it ever be possible to set skilltraining at evegate (or other web platform) 7. GUI with full support for touchscreen computers would be a neat feature. 8. How long time is passed from Ideah to full implementation ? (Lets just take the T3 Cruiser and/or Planetary Interaction as an examples.) 9. Loved the Quafe Zero ideah, will there be more consumeables, with various effects ? (ie. Quafe Ginseng = Makes you think faster, 6 hours of 50% skill training bonus) 10. why is it all booster effects are trained on PVPplayers ? That should be my 10 cents of curiosity.. Beso
COCOLUMPS	Posted - 2011.05.09 18:03:00 - [296] I say, make something that works as well as a Captcha and you are good to go. I would rather deal with input of a three to four letter/number sequence every few minutes while mining then have to watch as bots slowly deteriorate this game. Originally by: Ore Grinder Originally by: Mnementh2231 Edited by: Mnementh2231 on 09/05/2011 15:08:05 It's a several-part question:) Is the reason that Cyno's aren't allowed in WH-Space something simple like as to prevent people from mining ops with instant in-system backup, or is it something more devious like WH-Space systems being laid out in the same format as k-space systems, and the potential for jumping about between systems or from k-space to w-space exists? Also, tell me this isn't a delicious solution to macro-miners? Give the roids AI. if the same ship locks the same crappy veld-roid 3 times in a row, in a 30 minute or some junk window, the ship gets ported to jita, and egresses a NPC station or gate or something :) Also, how did Concord make it to all the Wh-Space systems to anchor those customs offices? Are they just THAT good? It's been rumored and guessed and hinted on and passed around for ages, and I have to say with finality that yes, having a POS established in a system DOES effect the spawn mechanics of sites in a certain way. I don't need details, just a yes or no? To combat macro miners, just make it so your mining lasers need to be "calibrated" to the roid you mine. To do this you would have to play with some sort of slider or click something, even if it is stupidly simple. It becomes very hard for a macro to use this. You could also make it change every 2 months or so to increase the amount of adjustments bot programmers have to make just to **** them off or make it not worth the time for them.

Cata Laurel	Posted - 2011.05.09 18:12:00 - [302] I'd like to ask about the economic reports please. I notice that they always state that they use a Laspeyres index, which I've read exaggerates inflation. I was wondering why you decided to use this index? Do you consider the inflationary exaggeration a benefit (perhaps making the economy look more interesting) or merely a side effect? Is there a reason not to use a Fisher index to try to counter that effect? Do you use it simply as you feel the moving baseline from indexing against the last period is a good thing in terms of keeping it current for the playing population? I'd love to hear a response as I've been learning some basic economics and it's pretty cool seeing how it is applied in Eve, so I hope you can aid my learning a little by elaborating on why you chose this index which I'm intrigued about. Thanks
Temerit	Posted - 2011.05.09 18:19:00 - [303] 1. Will you please put the Ethnic Relations skill in a blender, then burn the resulting pulp, then spread those ashes around the vastness of space? 2. Will you please allow us to completely delete injected skills from our head, perhaps for a fee of ~100 ISK per SP deleted? --- This includes the skill being completely deleted, not still in your head with 0 SP. --- Oh look, an excellent ISK sink that will make a majority of the playerbase happy. 3. Taking it one step further, would it be reasonable that when deleting a skill you'll receive a random amount of SP (let's say between... 5-25% of the total being erased...) back to spend where you like?
Xaarous Caldari Woopatang Primary.	Posted - 2011.05.09 18:19:00 - [304] Sov warfare is currently haves vs. have-nots, in the sense that if you can field Supercarriers, reinforcing/destroying sov infrastructure is dramatically faster (minutes instead of hours) than doing it with a sub-cap fleet. Is this the degree of difference intended with Supercaps? Is there supposed to be a counter to supercap fleets outside of "another, larger supercap fleet"? IMHO the capital advantage should be that they are tougher to stop (and they are), and to have a different deployment strategy (jumps vs. gates) not necessarily having so much more damage output as well.
The Arcadian	Posted - 2011.05.09 18:21:00 - [305] Hey; Here's my questions: 1) When will item stacking in hangers be fixed/reverted back to the old way? Right now it is a pain to sort loot as the stacks fly all over the place instead of staying where the original stack is. For some reason some of the stacks move to the new single item dropped in the hanger, making it much harder to sort new items without a stack from items with a stack. 2) When will war-deccing become more expensive? Right now it is so cheap that it is used for griefing rather than meaningful war in many cases. 3) When will afk-cloakers be dealt with, as it is also griefing in my eyes? E.g. Put a timer on how long a ship can remain cloaked if not near a station or belt or such 4) When will it become impossible for war targets to use non-affiliated alts to scout out their war targets via standing setting, rendering the poor targets defenseless unless doing the same non-productive or intended activity? 5) When will other than combat sites (anomalies) be able to be found with the onboard scanner? i.e. finding small hidden asteroid belts or hacking sites for the lazy/inept non-probing people? 6) Will anything be done to control the ever increasing prices on GTC's at the timecode forum (I suspect foul play) and the side-effect this has on PLEX prices? Not exactly friendly to new players below 1 year or casual players. 7) What will happen exactly to agents, agent divisions and mission related skills? PLease be very specific and please do not destroy a very good system I hope to see some answers Arca

It would provide a more natural, player-driven flow of sec change for people that kill the pies and make space safer!

We've heard there will be some goodies, but no clue really yet. 4) When will we see the first Epic Missions using the Sansha/Sleeper AI to start to bridge the gap for using these AI's for regular missions?

YourIceIn MyDrinkPlz	Posted - 2011.05.09 19:06:00 - [330] Will the petition system ever be retooled to allow GMs to convert active petitions into bug reports for submission to the bug hunter department by the GM on the behalf of the player? 'Hello CCP, I have this issue.... GM's reply: That looks like a bug. File a bug report at this website and include XYZ.' Please tell me that the right hand will 'accept' the work of the left hand at CCP soon? While I realize the additional detail of a bug report is important, the players not taking the time and effort to fill out the specialized bug report forms will hamper all bug hunting if the department is not aware of an issue, or how widespread the problem may be. Most players do not take the time to fill out the bug forms. Even if there are a few dedicated bug hunters out there, the ratio of submitters to non-submitters is very low. Allowing the GMs to submit bug reports on behalf of the players would increase the bug hunting info coming in to the department. Thank you for opening this thread. o7, Ice

Soden Rah Gallente EVE University Ivy League	Posted - 2011.05.09 19:49:00 - [356] I like the idea behind this thread. Doing this more often would be good. Soden's Questions; 1: Why did you decide to move to server side ONLY for fittings storage and limit the number of fittings to 50? And when are you going to fix it so we can have unlimited fittings again? 2: Are you going to fix the issue those of us with dual screens have with the character creator where the char appears dead centre half on one screen and half on the other with no offset option? and if so on what time scale? 3: Are you ever going to give us an option to stop characters moving during sculpting? and if so on what time scale? 4: Are you planning on doing complete GUI overhaul, so that its possible to do all the things one needs to do in eve without burying you view of space/WIS under windows? (in the next 2~3 years as opposed to 'yeah sure some time in the mid 2030's') If so can we please have lots of stuff, even REALLY first thought stuff on what your doing so we can get in early and make suggestions before its too late to really change anything. 5: Are you willing to consider better ways of controlling ships than clicking in space? (not asking for joystick here or real time WASD but there are other options, my suggestion was in this thread but there are other ways of doing it.) 6: can you commit to actually responding to feedback. in general, but specifically on the test server feedback thread in a more meaningful way. You create feedback threads for features currently under testing (sometimes) put a few 'known issues' at the front and then leave it for weeks with nothing more than the odd 'keep it coming' post. Having someone update the OP and post responses to issues posted in the thread would be very useful, as we know you have actually read our posts and you don't get inundated with people posting about the same issue all the time. For example the reams of posts about avatars moving whilst being sculpted has STILL had no response from you... at all... anywhere. Ditto the 50 fitting's only debacle. 7: will my snowballs and snowball launchers ever work again? 8: Why do you hate us gallente? 9: Now that you have created new npc AI that likes to eat drones, are you planning to have a look at how drones operate? see this thread for details. 10: can you commit to NOT using Facebook ONLY voting on future eve competitions? And will you apologise for the 'create a starship' competition debacle in which many (including myself) couldn't vote on the many excellent entries due to the voting being facebook only? 11: Is line of sight a realistic possibility? And if so would you consider implementing it? 12: For those of us with plurality of screens, at the moment eve is self contained within one window. would it be possible to make eve multi window? this would mean we could for example move chat channels and the map say onto a separate monitor so they are no longer on top of the main view of space. this would mean we could relegate text based stuff, like chat channels or the market maybe to separate, perhaps cheaper lo-res screens, while keeping the main client in high res high fps without the clutter of all the windows on-top of it??? This might also come under UI improvements.

Telling us that spot is filled or something like that. We literaly have to guess which of the four spots is actually not being used. Thanks.

Gunther Gabel Caldari	Posted - 2011.05.09 19:59:00 - [360] I think it was fanfest 2010 where one of the developers claimed it would take 18 months to fix Roles in the game, which at the minute are horribly broken in regards to POS and manufacturing. That was about 14 months ago..... So, my question is: How soon can we expect an overhaul of Roles for POS's. Dominion removed them as sovereignty structures and yet they are still treated as such (Corp asset) roles need to produce. Alliance mates can only use them for ME/PE etc.

[1]Year's ago on EVE TV it was said there would be the option of anchoring multiple outposts in the same system. Also mentioned at the time was Alliance owned gate guns? [2]Station corporation divisions at moment thereÆs 7, is there any way you can increase this to say 9 or 11? [3]Pos corp hanger arrays can you make them also so that you can rename them? [4]Jump bridges is it possible to make a super bridge IHub mod where you need Strategic 5 where you can add more than the normal 2 jump bridges up to say a maximum of 5, Current Upkeep Costs per Solar System is 12.5 per day, I would say add 5 mil per day per extra bridge? [5]Cyno Tower Beacons, make it so other blues with standings can also jump to them, like they can use the bridges? could do it so you have to add the starbase password before you can jump to it just like bridges. [6]Starbase Passwords, is it possible to make it so you donÆt have to enter it every time you enter a new system, unless you dock then you have to renter it.. Thanks in advance cc

It would be two new ship models, and big targets to shoot at 3) will we see an expansion on the T3 line of ships? T3 frigates, battlecruisers, battleships... 4) are there plans for a T2 Orca / Rorqual? If not, why not? 5) can we get a really good corporate management interface? The current one is ah... a joy to use considering there is so much room for improvement :-) 6) when will you fix the spelling mistake in the icon for the long stemmed rose? 7) will CCP ever have summer camps on far, fair and fabulous Iceland where capsuleers the world over congregate to in order to receive further instruction and teaching on how to be a better capsuleer? 8) What is CCP Hellmar's favorite EVE ship? 9) Can other people than CCP employees write books situated in the EVE universe [not necessarily using many elements from the game]? 10) expanding on 9: has CCP ever thought of making an EVE Online-inspired movie?

Why can't succesful invention runs count towards better odds of re-inventing the next same item or put in other words, when can pilots get an amnesia cure? 5. Why can't we free slaves rescued in missions and only get to (a) abandon them, (b)sell them, (c) doom them in a can somewhere to gather dust. Easy RP option to implement 6. Why can't my blackops ship not use a covert ops cloak but can use covert ops jump tech?? Finally.. 7. Why can't blackop ships use their jump drives within (back and forth) in hi-sec?

Brzaka	Posted - 2011.05.09 20:17:00 - [371] Originally by: Brzaka Is it practical to give defender missiles a fleet support role, or are the interactions too complex? Also, could you marry them with a new T2 or faction destroyer hull (bonuses against missiles and drones, say). This way you could bring to unloved components into the fold. Originally by: Brzakahttp://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1508536&page=1#22Defender Missiles The way Defenders are currently wouldn't be kind to the server if we suddenly made them track all the missiles coming at your fleet. This type of role however could be created for a new ship class if we design it to be server friendly from the get go. It's something this is brought up a lot so we will keep it behind our ear. Maybe this would be a good role for smaller tech 3 ships. >>So maybe like a remote resistance to damage source buffer from a high slot mod, but with graphics that look like defender missiles going off and randomly making pretty explosions? A different kind of logistics role? That might work. I like putting this on a destroyer hull more than a T3 frig. Mileage will vary, I'm sure.

Same goes for missiles, would be amazing to see missiles fire out of their respective bays and arc to targets. Any update for that coming too?

Pyre leFay	Posted - 2011.05.09 20:31:00 - [376] Will we ever get new missions that make use of new (and old)features, like market or mining missions that want PI items? With the agent simplification in progress, will we get new mining missions that make use of salvagers or other data miners to acquire mission based goods rather then always sucking a rock? It would help flesh out mining more as a stand alone mission group(And I don't always want to play the scanning mini-game just to do what I'm good at.) And while on mining, As it stands the current mining missions aren't very competitive in the way of rewards compared to mining for market in time spent. Could the process of dynamic insurance to market costs be used for mining mission reward payout? Will we ever get more dynamic solo-duo missions with perhaps randomized content around a base objective? To depart from (group1 to group2 to gate formula) Something to build up to the incursion quality difficulty.

RevJim Gallente Onanists-R-us	Posted - 2011.05.09 20:33:00 - [379] Back in 2008 I went to Fanfest and it was awesome! I remember one talk where the 2 guys responsible for the "stackless python" implementation were dragged on-stage and suitably embarrassed by the wild applause. Before this the game had horrible lag, then the miracle of stackless python, almost no lag even when a 1000+ pilots were in the same system! Some time passes, and the next "expansion" comes. It totally negates all the good work, lag is back with a vengeance. Since that time CCP has fought against the dreaded lag monster and generally made tiny progress, even now the thought alone of 1000 pilots in system causes node death or horrible lag. My question is, whatever happened to the 2 guys who banished lag in one fell swoop, are they still employed by CCP? If not, could they be brought back to work the magic once more? RevJim

Because of this rule I decided to start over on a Minmatar ship instead of polishing my (IMO) superior Sansha design, so I am not amused to see two Amarr winners and one from no identifiable faction. 3) Why did judging this contest take so long? Why was nothing done about it until I finally asked CCP Guard about it in his welcome thread? 4) What happened to the un-specified "prize to be announced later" for all of the finalists? ===================================== Game Balance: 5) What are your plans for Faction Warfare? Will there ever be any improvements to the current broken system, or will this continue to be an abandoned feature? 6) What are your plans for dealing with the emptiness of lowsec (vastly higher risk and lower reward than highsec = no PvE = poor piracy = just go to 0.0). How do you plan to make it more appealing for both carebears and pirates, preferably solo (see #9)? 7) What are your plans for fixing the current poor state of hybrids and Gallente ships in general? 8) Why has the tier system (Harbinger = tier 2, Prophecy = tier 1) not been removed yet, given that market forces and insurance have combined to make the price difference between tiers negligible compared to the vast differences in performance? Why have the ships within a class not been re-balanced to avoid having half of them be useless? 9) What, if any, plans do you have for reducing the popularity of blobbing and giving more room for solo and small-gang PvP? Or do you feel that the current state of "whoever can bring the most ships wins", even outside of 0.0 alliance wars, is a good thing? 10) When will you be doing something about the combination of local as an intel tool, multiple WCS having no effect on PvE ability, ease of fitting cloaks on every random ship, and optional "instant logoff on local spike" bots that make PvE in "dangerous" space 100% risk-free? 11) Why does the logoff timer not keep your ship in space for a full 15 minutes no matter what the circumstances, allowing logging out to be a valid tactic to escape from combat (such as when jumping into a gatecamp without a scout, or logging out when a threat enters local and disappearing before there is any chance of being probed out and killed)? 12) When will black ops ships be given covert ops cloaks, or some other boost to fix the admitted "pre-nerfed" state of these rarely-used ships? -----------

King Rothgar Path of the Fallen	Posted - 2011.05.09 20:41:00 - [388] Just a few quickies, they may have already been covered: 1) Are there any plans to deal with SC proliferation? They seem to have rendered everything but the cyno kestrel redundant. 2) Are there any plans to review LP store offerings and faction mod stats? Some items such as faction turrets seem to be relics of the days before t2 existed. The mods are inferior in every way that matters to t2 yet cost 50x as much to produce. This problem causes the majority of non-implant LP store offerings to be effectively useless. 3) In general, is the goal of CCP to make fights bigger, the same size or decrease their size? I ask because as the player base increases, the current mechanics tend to favor just bringing more. I find the "just blob them" mentality simplistic and really takes away from the complexity eve exhibits in smaller fights where individual ships and players matter. Thus far you shall read, but no further; for this is my sig.

Have you CCP tried to attract players from more countries like South America, India, Japan and so? How did you made that? 2. About language packs: Would you plan to invite player volunteers to take part in the translation of the language packs? The Japanese one seems have never been done. 3. As other MMO games I have experienced(may be they are really too good), the EVE's development seems not quite fast: What limites your developemnt speed on EVE? 4.A game for 8 years is quite old: Have you considered to discharge EVE and develop a new spaceship game? 5.To what a reason that you didn't make EVE a free+micro-transaction game? Maybe it was a new stuff when EVE released but it's never too late to make changes.

It would be nice to have a faction POS that had a bonus to industrial stuff, while having a nerf in defense ability. 2) have you ever thought about adding systems without bright stars? i.e. Brown/Black Dwarf If done right, I can just imagine how epic space battles would look like in a truly dark area of space, with weapon fire lighting up the surroundings.

Will we ever have player/corp/alliance controlled NPCs in space (not talking about drones/fighters/exotic dancers)? why/why not? eg.

Mortrius	Posted - 2011.05.09 21:55:00 - [414] Edited by: Mortrius on 09/05/2011 21:59:11 Aherm... just a few questions, for no one in particular: 1) When DUST 514 and Eve eventually connect, how are you planning on giving DUST players a defined niche in the already well-developed Eve universe? (I have a lot of ideas on this... hint, hint...) 2) Various ships have become obsolete due to "new", and/or more efficient ships that are just as easy to skill for. Examples include the Ferox, Prophecy, more than half of the T1 frigates, etc. Do you have any plans to perhaps revamp these so that they will once again be seen in a useful spot on the battlefield? 3) Destroyers... can they be given prominence? A niche in the game where players want to use them? To summarize the last two, I really want to see every ship on the battlefield more than occasionally. I'm getting tired of the "Just bring a Drake" line, no offense to the Drake.
Spazz21 The Grid	Posted - 2011.05.09 21:56:00 - [415] 1. What are your Plans to get more people into Null Space? And how do you know it will work? As you've must of seen with the recent Anom changes, it hasn't caused any conflict that wasn't already existing and caused quiet an upset with players. 2. When will Supercarriers online change back into EvE Online? 3. When will improvements be made to T2 Production(Moon Mining, Researching, etc) so it's doable by anyone(meaning not being controlled by Major Alliances and the few people that have T2 BPOs). 4. When Will Managing Roles/POS Hangars be improved?

Terianna Eri Senex Legio Get Off My Lawn	Posted - 2011.05.09 21:58:00 - [417] Edited by: Terianna Eri on 09/05/2011 22:02:00 Thank you guys for doing this again. First on the list - When will you fix the 7th turret placement on the harbinger? (A question I asked of Zulupark in the first question thread to which the answer was "I'll ask the art guys about it"). Second, >Assault Ships 4th bonus? >Will the Legion ever be rebalanced to be more in line with the Tengu, Proteus, and Loki? >Can you explain why you thought making vast regions of 0.0 less valuable than empire space will motiviate new players, and people who don't live in nullsec, to actually move out there? >What plans do you have to deal with, if any, the proliferation of supercapitals? >Do you think short-range weapons have a role in EVE as time goes on and average gang sizes continue to increase? >Time dilation when? :D >Will you ever get rid of the tier system and boost some of the lower tier ships to actually be worth using? Tier 1 BCs and Tier 1 cruisers like the Omen (MORE POWERGRID PLEASE) come to mind. EDIT: and my personal pet crusade: >What do you think about giving the retribution another damage bonus and a 5th turret, with a fitting increase, since it would be awful as a tackler / close range fighter anyway even with a 2nd mid and it needs a significant damage increase to be a valuable "frigate-sized DPS platform" ? ________________ Originally by: CCP Incognito PS the "time to P*nis" is the shortest time recorded in human history. :)
Danni Di'veeto	Posted - 2011.05.09 21:58:00 - [418] Why can't a player who wants to stop playing just transfer his entire account to another person who will then be responsible for it's maintenance and upkeep? I assume that if I change any or all registration information on my accounts page, you email my old addy to make sure I haven't been hacked. If you want your $20 fee for the transfer, make that a requirement to change the user name on the account. The current rigamarole is practically obscene!
Obsidian Hawk RONA Legion RONA Directorate	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:01:00 - [419] Ok I have a few more Jove agents and portraits, can we have them back? Interbus storyline missions can we have them to repair standings? There are a lot of ships not in game that should be, like the society of concious cruisers and frigates (see ref apotheosis), can we get them? Also what happened to the old titans? The minmatar Leviathan, Gallente Soltueur, the unknown caldari one and the Amarr Imud Hubrau?
Alair Angellic Industries	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:02:00 - [420] CCP Zulu responded to the following issue in 2008 thus: Quote: Did you maen the time it takes to get to max warp speed? If so, very interesting idea Nothing has happened since. The (rephrased) question is: Why does every ship follow exactly the same warp acceleration curve? This is easily misunderstood which makes discussion difficult. For clarity, this is _not_ about align time; inertia damps, nanofibers are not relevant. This is _not_ about warp speed; ships obviously have different warp speeds (AU/s.) This is about the interval from the moment a ship begins to warp (75%, no longer stoppable) until the moment it reaches it's top warp speed. Another curve is followed during deceleration, and it too is identical for all ships. These curves are dominant for warps <~20AU, meaning that two ships with similar align time but far different warp speed will arrive at nearly the same time because both ships spend the same time, and nearly all the time, accelerating/decelerating to/from warp. Seems like supposedly rapid ships are short changed and should probably have faster warp acceleration/deceleration rates; you need long warps for the warp speed advantage of a fast ship to amount to more than a second or two. Perhaps the top warp speed should also be a factor in the warp acceleration rate derivative. Lurking at the bottom of the gravity well, getting old.

Enkill Eridos Draconian Enforcers Available To Hire Massive Dynamic Alliance	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:06:00 - [421] Edited by: Enkill Eridos on 09/05/2011 22:07:22 Just three questions..Why can't Black Ops ships use a Covert Ops Cloak and will CCP ever think of allowing a Black Ops Ship to use one? And will EVE players ever stop whining about changes that balance out the game?
Fiella	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:07:00 - [422] Will you ever streamline item and ship descriptions? Example: Atron Quote: Gallente Frigate Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret falloff and 5% Small Hybrid Turret damage per skill level. Imicus Quote: Gallente Frigate Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to drone range per level 5% increase to scan strength of probes per level 5% bonus to survey probe flight time per level "Fixing" 0.0 is something I'd like to clear out as well, but I think it requires a dedicated thread to discuss. Topics like tech moons, botting, jump bridges, the recent massive anomaly nerf that made 80% or so of 0.0 useless (and even more of wasteland), massive NAP alliances and various other things.
Amitious Turkey Gallente TarNec	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:07:00 - [423] 1. Who has the biggest nerfbat? 2. Hybrids. Do you feel that hybrids are working as intended? If not... What are plans regarding bringing railguns up to par with lasers/projectiles? What about the role of blasters?

Nightwing	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:12:00 - [424] Is there any plans to look into 1) The agility or warp speed of Freighters? 2) Revamping the corporate permissions system? 3) EOS 4) Technetium moon distribution? There has always been an imbalance where some region was 100 time better than any other region so you could cause wars.. Well this has had the exact opposite effect for 8 years. (defenders have unlimited isk to defend said region) Will this change?
Tyrant's Bane Gallente Senex Legio	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:12:00 - [425] CCp, I have been trying to get an answer from you about Faction tower BPC's and gun modules but have met with little luck, I would like to know whay happened to them, near as i and many other plexers can tell, they have not dropped from any plex in almost two years now causing the prices of the remaining ones to skyrocket. Did u intentionally remove them or is this a bug? If it is a bug, is there an eta on when it will be fixed, as it would make people interested in doing radar and mag sites once again. more info and responses from other players can be found in this thread http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1496995
Bloody Mary Avada Amarr	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:14:00 - [426] Edited by: Bloody Mary Avada on 09/05/2011 22:13:55 My question would be, When are we going to see improvements to textures and models for some of the ships. Gun animations? Visual Modules that alter the look of the ships for each custom design similar to the Tech 3 ships. Its all nice that our avatars are looking realistic. I believe some time should be devoted to what made eve. Spaceships. I'm just saying its time for those items to be updated too. Those crew need motivation on killer looking ships like the scorpion and phantasm. Thanks for your time dudes. Bloody Boyz watcha lookn at?
Brittney Calm	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:21:00 - [427] (3) Questions that were mentioned at fanfest. (1) Is or are there plans for a SCRIPTED Doomsday weapon? Change from focused DD to Area of affect DD (2) are we going to be able to probe down cloaked ships? (3) is the revaniant mothership going to have a system jammer module that can be fitted to its ship?
Masjheira Minmatar Cursed Inc. Not Found.	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:28:00 - [428] Will you ever stop adding useless content for carebears ? Will you decide to focus on pvp and intense nullsec oppourtunities, instead of having Supercap online, bot-rmt online and carebear afk incursion and mission online ? And yes last one: will you please not release what's called walk in station or so ? Eve doesnt need useless Simlike content. We need DEEP ingame mechanics, not useless shiny **. We didn't see any useful content to add some deepness in the gameplay since wormholes. Incursions, new SC's, sims stuff, ** it, that's ruining the game.
Alair Angellic Industries	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:28:00 - [429] In the 'Introducing Time Dilation' dev blog CCP Veritas wrote regarding multi-threaded game server code: Quote: Going multi-threaded falls into the increasing capacity category ... We'll get there some day 'cause, well, we'll have to I was excited by this; it was the first public acknowledgement of the limits and eventual fate of the single threaded design I have ever seen. That was a long wait. Questions: Is there (and if so, what is) the time frame for the concurrent server engine rework? Will the number of cores applied to a solar system be dynamic, capable of scaling up or down according to demand? Lurking at the bottom of the gravity well, getting old.
Guna Renn	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:30:00 - [430] As a player who can't rack in more than about 1-2 hours a day at most with this game, I find that all I ever do is update my skill queue alongside the occasional mission. When will the high-sec activities (which I'm confined to due to lack of playtime) become more interesting? Currently, I only find the market interesting.

Rykuss	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:32:00 - [431] I'd like to know what you, the devs, think about the current state of t1 ships in this game. Someone already mentioned t2 BC's, yeah I'd love to see that as well as they're my favorite hull in the game. I'm a bit intrigued by the remarks about mining changes, could you elaborate or will there be a dev blog soon?
Jaik7	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:34:00 - [432] sorry if its been asked, i didn't feel like reading fifteen pages. it feels like the people who were working their PI daily, running cargo, and all that stuff are getting punished for being diligent by the post incursion system of resource depletion. why did you guys feel a need to nerf sustained production? i'd rather click forever and get something for my troubles instead of looking at rapidly depleteing resources forcing me to rebuild my refineries on a weekly basis.

hired goon	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:37:00 - [433] Do you agree that the texture resolution and normal-map resolution of the Raven's skin is pretty bad right now? Do you reckon you could improve it? Was the Eve on Tegra-2 demonstration at the fanfest, the actual game engine running? If so, how difficult would it be to put the whole game on a smartphone? I am an ATI/AMD owner, what would you say to players like me who are slightly worried by how close CCP is to Nvidia, and how future CCP technologies would run on non-Nvidia hardware? Upon the release of "time dilation" will you properly credit me with inventing it? Did you guys like Star Trek V? Everyone says it was crap but I really liked it To CCP TomB - how come you're never around any more? And where is CCP Nebulon? When are you guys getting your jovian portraits back? I can't wait to see them in the new char creator.
Geana Tem Gallente The Order of Symbolic Measures	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:40:00 - [434] 1) Could combat be improved if a skill/mod to target and disable specific ship modules were employed? 2) Would you consider using the Planetary Interaction mechanic to harvest new resources from stars? 3) What resources other than the new tale system would be required for players to submit mission scenario suggestions?
Dogma Rex	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:45:00 - [435] A few questions: Starbase's (POS) will there ever be a change to the current system ? If so: Will there be a new interface/management system that can be accessed remotely? (to view fuel levels and array status) Will there be a change to how they are structured? (a single station structure would be preferable to the current mess we have available) Will there be improved accesses to alliances such as hangers, labs and factories? Will you allow refinery arrays to be used in empire? Tech 3, will we ever see the 5th subsystem for the strategic cruiser? When or will there be Tech 3 Battleships, Frigates or Mining ships? Will there ever be Tech 3 Mods? Will science and industry ever be updated? Could we have the Blueprints loaded in some different way rather than sitting in a hanger, maybe corporate or personal database storage? Will we ever be able to create our own Tech in game? Think those are the ones that have been bugging me for a while, I am sure there are more
Aquana Abyss	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:46:00 - [436] 1. What are command ships good for nowadays given that tech 3 gang boosting is far superior? 2. Why does Eve appear to be slowing in terms of delivered content, despite seemingly having more and more staff at CCP? 3. Is Incarna just a trial run for World of Darkness? 4. Will T2 BPOs ever be removed or will there ever have more added? 5. Iteration has badly failed with regards Faction Warfare - You promised lots of iteration and have delivered nothing there - Even the forum thread stating you'd cover stuff missed at the no-show FW fanfest round table in a live blog or some such is now ignored - Why should we believe any more of your lies CCP? 6. If everyone stopped playing/paying for Eve tomorrow would you all be out of a job? Thanks.

Taredi Taredi	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:55:00 - [440] EVE Online was about taking big risks to gain great rewards. What's the point if you're always at risk of non consensual pvp in high sec? What exactly is the gain on either party in high sec? If a one man corp decides to War Dec a bunch of hulks just to pad his stats on battleclinic, was this the intended result? Thanks,

Travis117	Posted - 2011.05.09 22:59:00 - [441] As seen on the forums are tech 2 bpos being removed? Are there any plans to make more mining barges like the hulk? How come technetium is so rare? Will dust 514 be released this year?
Somatic Neuron	Posted - 2011.05.09 23:02:00 - [442] What is the exact calculation for invention chance (with all possible modifiers)? What happened to system-wide asteroid belts? Why do the low-end asteroids in grav sites have such a small amount of ore in them (e.g. veldspar 'roids have like 100k in them...very inconsistent with the progression of amounts of ores)? Why don't you implement the majority of the items from the "hoax" patch notes from a few months ago? Obviously some of them are very much desired by the community. ----------

Somatic Neuron	Posted - 2011.05.09 23:12:00 - [445] More... Why can't we research bpc efficiencies, especially given the limited amount of runs available on them? Why can't we have a limited factory user role, so that corp members can use blueprints from a corp hangar, without the full abilities of a factory manager (i.e. view other jobs, cancel jobs, view job history, etc.)? Right now it is all or nothing...would be even better if you had default roles, and custom roles that you could fine tune privileges on (e.g. can build from hangar, can view jobs, can deliver jobs, can cancel other's jobs, can cancel own job, etc.) Why can't we reverse engineer an item to its own type of bpc? Why can't we invent a t2 bpo from a t1 bpo (much lower chance, based on research levels, maybe requires a minimum research level of ME/PE)? Why can't we alchemy the rest of the moon metals? ----------

DocsGirl	Posted - 2011.05.09 23:17:00 - [447] I would like to know why simple things such as auditing tools for POS equipment and arrays are not available. I believe that something as simple as a tool to tell us when a player accessed a certain array, removed/put back certain ships, offlined/onlined equipment should be relatively simple to enable. ALL servers and even workstations have auditing tools like this. The fact that these tools aren't available to CEO's or Directors, and that when stuff comes up missing and we can't get a decent answer from CCP through petitions, means NO ONE knows what is going on.
hired goon	Posted - 2011.05.09 23:17:00 - [448] Considering almost half of all threads posted in general discussion seem to be questions aimed at CCP rather than the start of a discussion thread, how come you guys rarely answer? Do you ever browse the forums while working? Do you ever see a question thread you could answer but don't because you're just not bothered to deal with the fallout? Do you ever see a thread you are bursting to answer but don't because you aren't allowed? Are there rules for dev answering threads? Do you need to get permission before giving a definite answer on some questions? Can you get in trouble? Has anyone? Have you ever been really upset or enraged by a forum topic of a particular tone? Do you ever feel fed up with the community, or some members of the community? Are any members of the community well known at CCP towers? Do they ever come up in conversation? (Mentioning no names) Are any community members generally disliked there?
Kreatus Lucina	Posted - 2011.05.09 23:21:00 - [449] How come every time I undock Eve opts to rearrange my overview in some bizarre manner the makes no sense?

But that's all in the past, 1.Are the features planed for the neo neocom scaling, ability to choose whats on the neocom has on it, quick training check, docking tabs to it, since it's redundant Are these features planned into the next iteration for the neocom? becuase from what I've seen 80% of the posts were happy with the neo neocom other than wanting improvements/look change and if you don't bring something at least as good as the neo neocom people are going to be unhappy.

Toshiro GreyHawk	Posted - 2011.05.09 23:36:00 - [457] 1) Why can't we enter coordinates when creating a bookmark so that we can warp to any point within a solar system? When I asked this of other players - they said we used to be able to do that but people were setting bookmarks that were to far out. A simple bounds check on the values entered would have fixed that and still allowed freedom of movement within the system. What the hell kind of sand box only allows you to go directly from one point to another predefined point - unless you've got bookmarks from missions or exploration? 2) It would sure be nice to differentiate between BPO's and BPC's without having to do a show info on them. The BPO's seem to sort to one end but it would be a lot better if we could simply see the difference. 3) Why did you have to gimp our ships and such for Incursions? You already had uber rats. Is this some way of trying to force the players to participate in the incursion? If so - what the hell kind of sand box is that? 4) It seems at times that EVE was created by pirates, for pirates with the rest of the players simply there to give the pirates someone to victimize. Is this in fact the case and does that have anything to do with the Viking ancestry of the EVE developers? 5) Has anyone looked into the fact that setting other players blue no longer removes the need to pay a CSPA charge from those players when they try to talk to yours? 6) How about all the CTD's we've been having - it's worse now than it was an there's no discernible pattern. I've had multiple accounts on different computers CTD simultaneously. 7) PI and Dust are supposed to be related. Also it's been hinted that PI installations will be able to be attacked by other players in some way in the future. Will this follow the current War Dec/System Security rules currently in the game or will there be some other way this is handled? My other questions on Salvager Drones, Insurance loss to Concorded players, freezing characters while sculpting, character emotes, the loss of PI income and Repair Drones were already asked.

Pesets The Hunt Club	Posted - 2011.05.09 23:45:00 - [461] When the learning skills were removed, CCP has implemented a last-minute "gift", where some players got an extra attribute remap, and others got a remap timer reset. Those who got the timer reset apparently weren't going to receive another remap when their timer was supposed to run out. This effectively resulted in some players gaining artificial advantage over others. For example, if your timer ran out one second before the patch, you would have two remaps after the patch (one because the timer ran out and another one added by the patch). If your timer was scheduled to run out one second after the patch, you would have one remap, just get it one second earlier. Having two remaps at once is arguably a serious advantage, as it allows you to optimize for training "inconvenient" skills (leadership bonuses, POS gunnery, drone skills, etc) without having to commit to a whole year of training everything else slower. It also isn't possible to get two remaps stacked through normal gameplay. So the question is, are there any plans to provide the missing extra remap for characters that had an active remap timer during that patch? (Back then, as i recall, the response from CCP was something along the lines of "it's holidays, and we don't have resources to deal with it right now").
xXJarrodXx	Posted - 2011.05.09 23:50:00 - [462] I'd like to know if CCP's has any plans to buff/review any of the following ship classes to some degree in order to make them more effective in their given roles: Assault frigates - Black Ops Battleships - T1 Destroyers - Tier 1 Battle-cruisers. Not saying make them over powered, just giv'em some loving(especially Black Ops). Also: Does the Invention implant actually add a bonus to invention chance? If so, buy what percentage? If no, why is it available still in game?
Cyerus Galactic Dominion Eternal Strife	Posted - 2011.05.09 23:55:00 - [463] 1. Will there be a way to present bugs and feature requests to developers using official channels? 'EVE Tech Lab' forum contains tons of questions and bug reports on, but not limited to, the databasedump and the API. Many unanswered; which can only be answered by CCP Dev whom hardly go further than "It's the same data as in the DB we use..." or "The API information at <link> should clarify it..". Which leads to my second question; 2. Will "Quality Insurance" get a bigger priority?

Will stations recieve a design overhaul, as they are one of the major parts of eve that from the outside have not changed and look dated, player outposts also need more variety.
Super Chair Caldari Inglorious-Basterds	Posted - 2011.05.09 23:56:00 - [465] Are you introducing teir 3 battlecruisers sometime in the near future? Are there any plans to revamp faction war? If so, how? Are there any plans to make victory points meaningful for faction war plexing? (Such as introducing faction ships obtainable only by means of vicotry points, or something equally unique?)

I know it's in the works, but will the introductions of new clothes going to end? or will the options always continue to grow?

Katrina Bekers Gallente Mia Corp	Posted - 2011.05.10 00:28:00 - [474] 1) There is any chance to revise the 30 seconds session delay timer to something less wasteful? One minute and half to dock, reship, undock may sound cool when the servers needed time to "send" the player from session to session, but in this day and age, maybe the session timer outlived its purpose. Going down to 20, 15 or even 10 seconds would be sweet. 2) What is the REAL weight in developers man hours given to the crowdsourcing issues listed in http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/November_2010_Prioritization_Crowdsourcing_%28CSM%29 ? We could expect more of the "little things" jewels that have been universally greeted as one of the best efforts in the last eight years, as "excel and deliver" paragons of major winnitude? 3) I'm fully aware that the actual 0.0 powerbloc problem is not that there are groups of 50'000 players per side, but that there are only "two sides" left, while CCP would rather have 4-5 of them, warring over smaller patches of celestial havens (and sanctums :P ). There are plans to revert/iterate the hideous "upgrade" to sovereignty that Abathur left us and nobody really fixed since Dominion? Something that encourages SMALLER and MORE gang/fleets to spread over softer targets to be conquered at once, instead of gather huge blue blots around single, massive diamond-sturdy structures? 4) Is Gallente anywhere near being re-balanced as PVP race? I stare at the upper right table on page 83 of E-ON #23 and shiver... Five out of ten "most common destroyer" ships and four of the "most common destroyed" ones are Minmater (45% of that list, ffs). 1/10 and 3/10 are Caldari - but both first places. 2/10 and 1/10 are Amarr. 1/10 and 1/10 are Gallente, and BOTH in last place. Isn't freaking time to give blasters, drones and dampeners a buff? Or a counter-nerf, considering what happened with RSD castration, bandwidth nerfs and nanofiber irrelevancy? I don't mind that Nyxes are more popular than Myrmidons on today's battlefields, but still... --- Kat

Acks RONA Corporation RONA Directorate	Posted - 2011.05.10 00:35:00 - [476] There have been any number of threads regarding POS / Hangar issues over the years. With the advent of WH's these flaws in the POS system are now becoming crippling. Since WH space does not allow for stations / outposts the only choice for living space is a POS. Living out of POS's is extremely challenging when more than 10 people are using them as bases. Here is a short hit list of some of the major irritants: Will we be able to name all POS structure types any time soon? Will you be addressing the limitation on the number of hangars. (IE why not have personal hangars in the corp hangar array that take their volume from the total module volume as it is used? CEO and directors could have "purge" access to clear out hangars due to lost members or the need to take down modules.) Separate personal hangars from the main 7 division hangars. Does CCP have any plans to add the ability to "private dock" ships at ship arrays? IE make it so only the owner / pos manager / director can remove them? Cargo containers - Why can't these work like in a station? If we could open a secure cargo container while it was in a hangar without having to have it in a ship hold or in space, that would solve a ton of problems and allow for secure protected access. IE we could designate a member hangar where nobody has rights to remove containers. People could store items in password protected containers without risk of theft, borrowing, etc. Cargo containers II - Does CCP have any plans to add POS friendly secure containers? IE something between Giant Secure & Station Vault? What about the ability to anchor or construct "station vault" sized storage modules at a POS that do not require massive power etc? IE bigger "giant cans" that you can actually live out of. Audit Logs - Is there any hope that one day the audit logs will actually track input and output of items VS lock & unlock? Does CCP have any plans to allow for the repackaging of items at POS's? Modules, ships, etc. Titles - Is there any plan to allow module access to be able to be set by title in addition to role / corp / alliance. IE I may want to grant access to some but not all members to a refining array without granting wider POS roles. Alliance roles / titles - Does CCP have any plans to add roles / titles at the alliance level? This would tie into the next questions: Does CCP have any plans to expand on what "Alliance Access" at POS modules currently accomplishes? Does CCP have any plans to add "alliance" vs "corp" offices at stations? Does CCP have any plans to add any player station type structures between a current POS and a Outpost? IE dockable like an outpost with limited corp / alliance services but still 100% destroyable like a POS? Does CCP have any plans to add a POS module or cap ship module that would act like a "signal booster" to allow clone jumping facilities to function in WH's? Does CCP have any plans to add "bookmark broadcasting" or corp / alliance bookmarks (like the corp fittings)? IE the ability to share common bookmarks within a corp / alliance / fleet without physically making a copy and handing it to someone? Does CCP have any plans to allow "pooled" PI setups? IE when the command center owner launches resources have the option of launch for self or corp. If launched for corp the resources would go to a "corp" hangar at the customs office (perhaps even have to rent it). These resources would be accessible by new roles like the POS manager role. Also for corp storage at customs offices, increase the storage size. This could be the current 25k x number of corp members with command centers on planet or even have it fee based. IE get charged a duty fee based on storage used. I have a million more but I am running out of characters. Thanks in advance for any answers you can provide (especially if they are what we want to hear)

Why do grav sites in WH spawn with the exact same configurations of asteroids and amounts every time? Rather than have a bunch of asteroids that have exactly a nice round number of units like 100000 couldn't you mix up a more random number of units per asteroid, number of asteroids, and mix in some amounts of the 5% and 10% bonus yield rocks? It would feel a lot more dynamic than seeing exactly the same mix of base asteroids in the same amounts every time. And you could still have it all add up to the same total yield.

Given that we can easily establish these basic stats are important, why have the dev team and CCP as a whole shown themselves to be so disinterested in actually tackling the issues of game balance including but not limited to a failure to reply to the playerbase on these issues, and even some public quotes that the dev team don't feel that it's important?

Salpad Caldari Carebears with Attitude	Posted - 2011.05.10 01:10:00 - [488] 1. What is your attitude towards underpowered ships that nobody flies, or at least nobody flies the way they're intended to be flown (using a Destroyer for salvaving is not the intended use for a combat ship)? How much effort are you expending on looking into and buffing underpowered ships so that all ships will be viable and sensible choices to fly, relative to their monetary cost? 2. What are you going to do to make mining more interactive and less bot-friendly? 3. Do you think that there are currently enough non-voice communications options for fleet members, so that they can report back to the fleet/squad commander in various ways? Everyone talking on voice is messy, and some players are somewhat or fully speech impeded. 4. Is exploration for grav/mag/ladar sites currently broken (early May 2011), or is it working as intended? 5. Do you plan to do anything about corporate membership applications? Every other month or so, I get an automated EVEmail telling me that a complete stranger, who has never made any kind of effort to communicate with me, has applied to join my corp. Why the **** would I accept such an application? Applications should require the applicant to fill out a form explaining various things about himself, including where he heard about or found the corp, and a "tell a little about yourself" text box that must be written in. -- Salpad

I have assumed that this would be technically difficult due to differences in item characteristics, ME, PE, etc. but what if the items are all identical? It would drastically reduce the amount of clicking I have to do to invent and build t2 drones, for example, if I could select 5 identical drone blueprint copies, click invent and select a lab that has 5 open invent slots (with the needed inventing datacores and other items in that lab), instead of having to right click each for invention separately. Could this be possible?

Are large numbers CCPs desired way to gain upward mobility? Are there any inklings of more world building being introduced into the game, such as modular star bases, gun emplacements, gate defenses, system fighter bays? I don't want to rely too heavily on AI, but the lack of real system defense seems a bit unrealistic. Any plans to introduce more NPC interaction? If we POD pilots are the elites of New Eden, where are all the other ships, the common man's trade routes, the commercial transit system? Is the centralization of the market in Jita, Dodixie, Amarr, and Rens something CCP views as an issue?

Ben Derindar Dirty Deeds Corp.	Posted - 2011.05.10 01:55:00 - [502] Most of my game-related questions have already been asked by other bittervets, so I'm going to put forward something different. Consider this post by CCP Navigator in 2009: Quote: From today the Community Team will review threads in CAOD and warn/ban players who are posting spam, troll or flame comments. A general rule of thumb should be "Do I think a CR will warn me for posting this?" then it would be a good idea not to bother. Posting of meme's or the usual "mlyp" or other spam will earn you a warning with no exception. Should that involve a 180 day ban then consider yourselves warned now. And yet 2 years on, CAOD is still a world leader in uncontrolled **posting and general *gotry, to the point where I gave up reporting posts on a regular basis several months ago. So, to CCP: what are your plans for actually properly addressing this issue? On a related note, out of curiosity: how many posts have I reported on this account, how many resulted in moderator action for what percentage of success, and how do I rate compared to other hall monitors out there? /Ben

(instead of just coming out of the middle of the ship) 3) Will we ever be able to have our ship dock like we normally do with a station but instead with a capital ship/Titan? 4) Will you guys over at CCP ever have a big fleet battle with us? :P
Desert Ice78 Gryphon River Industries R-I-P	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:01:00 - [504] Ok, I'll bite.... While I can pretty much apply this to every update since Apocrypha, I'll use the Planetary Interaction expansion as my example as I was most intimately involved in that one. Just to recap, you spent some 6 to 8 months developing PI, only to have it fail so hard upon release that you then had to devote another iteration and 8 months in order to (kind of) fix it. My question is this: At what point during its development did you realise that you had failed; was it while reading the mountain of threads on the forum telling you it failed BEFORE the initial release, or was it while reading the mountain of threads on the forums telling you it failed AFTER the initial release? CCP: Consistency since 2003

Follow up: Is the offering or suggesting that Jove ships to the player community considered an inside joke at CCP? Just curious you don't have to answer that 4) Are there any plans for a cyno or jump bridge nerf? 5) Are there any plans to allow capuleers to "civilize" wormhole space and start setting up private gate networks? 6) Has CCP given any more thought to the concept of hive ships ( a'la this thread ) and if so what are those thoughts? Sorry to be "that guy" with so many questions! Thanks!

jurkie turkey	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:11:00 - [507] I would like to put forward a way to cut down on the ganking. I would like to putfourth the idea of a concord fine ontop of the sec hit. for example a crew hits the bagger two. carrying say 200 mill in cargo (jita value not minral baced). and he tanked so well that had to use two ships to pop him. eatch of the two attackers take the sec hit that is already there. but ontop of this thay also get fined buy concord the value of the load pluss the inshurance value on the ship. and if thay do not have that amount in there wallet there corp absourbs the remainder of the fine. please note this does not intrefear with there "right to gank". and does not cancel out anny of the currant game meck. but it does give the "care bears" a bit more of a reason not to cry foule. yet it does make ganking a more refined art for the crews.

Salpad Caldari Carebears with Attitude	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:12:00 - [509] 6. Will you implement rentable lab slots in POSses in high-sec? That is, slots that can be rented by strangers? What about production slots? 7. Are you pleased with the current war declaration mechanics, including the ability of large corps with hundreds of members being cheaply able to harrass small carebear corps with a handful of members? Or are you going to do something to re-balance things, e.g. make it more expensive for a large corp to war dec a small corp? 8. Is the bounty system working as intended? Am I actually inflicting real (albeit delayed) pain on an enemy of mine by adding to his bounty tally? (Hint: No!) 9. Will you introduce modules or rigs to expand alternative storage bays, e.g. to give a capacity bonus to the Orca's ore bay? 10. Will you introduce new bays for ships that don't already have them, e.g. charge/ammo bays for "combat" type T2 ships such as Assault Frigates and HACs? A charge bay for Exhumers to carry mining crystals would also be mice, and of course both Exhumers and Mining Barges really should have ore bays. 11. The new module stacking is nice and easy to use (I know the official jargon is not "stacking" but I've forgotten what it is - sorry) and easier on your server, but when all my 6 or 7 missiles are combined into a single visible game object, it's much less visually impressive. Is it possible that you can modify the game so that each such object uses a graphic that looks like 3 to 7 missiles (depending on how many there are in the cluster) visually, even though in game-mechanica terms, and server object terms, it still behaves as a single object? Beam weapons look awesome, and we missile users are envious. I want to look awesome when I unleash a missile volley! 12. Why is there no in-game indicator when a player character has been invited to an event via the EVE Gate Calender function? A lot of players don't even know EVE Gate exists. 13. This is not actually a question. I just want to say thank you for all the improvements you've made recently, and for some of the upcoming stuff you've announced, such as the font change! -- Salpad

Salpad Caldari Carebears with Attitude	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:15:00 - [511] 14. Missiles are the only weapon system that have a "size-crossing" module or ship type. Assault Missile Launchers enable cruisers and battlecruisers to fight frigate-sized targets easily, and Stealth Bombers are frigate-sized ships that can launch torpedoes, weapons effective against battleships. (please note that these weapons suck - as they should - against equivalent-sized targets. You're silly to use your AMLs against cruiser-sized targets or larger, and a Stealth Bomber cannot fight other frigates at all, nor even medium-sized ships; this is about role specialization.) 14a. Are you going to expand on the missile concept by introducing a similar launcher fittable onto battleships that fires missiles efficient against cruisers? 14b. Are you going to introduce analogous guns, so that a gun cruiser can be efficient against frigate-sized targets, and a gun battleship can be efficient against cruiser-sized targets? 14c. Are you going to introduce analogous drones, specifically a medium-sized drone optimized against frigate-sized targets, and a large drone optimized against cruiser-sized targets? 14d. What about gun-based analogues to the Stealth Bomber? A frigate- or destroyer-sized ship able to mount and fire a few very big guns? 14e. Similarly, what about a special drone category that normal ships cannot use, but which can be utilized by frigate-sized Drone Bombers, and which is optimal for use against battleships? ...Or are you happy with AMLs and Stealth Bombers being the only weapon systems in the game that can cross the size boundary and be optimal against enemies differently sized from themselves (while sucking big time against equivalent-size enemies)? -- Salpad

Its been 2 years. Local is unchanged completely, and remains just as broken of a god mode as it was when you admit it in that thread. When do you expect to fix Local?
Scuttle Bunny Amarr	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:18:00 - [513] When will the 0.0 anom roll back happen? Will you be adding missile launcher hard points to go with the new turrets? When will the next gen of graphics be rolled out? Will there be comets/real life sized belts/more exploration depth soon? When is dust 514 coming out?... and will there be a a PC port (makes more sense technically) Which class is most likely to ever get a T3 class? Will you ever fix short range ammo? Remove defender missiles from NPCs? Allow more module slots for more point defense weapons like on real ships? er.. thank you! :D Scuttle Bunny And now....The sound.... The sound of Jupiter!!

Salpad Caldari Carebears with Attitude	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:20:00 - [514] 15. Have you considered less frequent expansions, so as to give yourself more time to get things right? Like once every 10 months? That'd still be about thrice as good as World of Warcraft does it. 16. Can we have a missile-based destroyer-sized T1 hull please? All five ship sizes (from frigate to battleship) offer gun-based T1 hulls, often multiple versions, and four of the five ship sizes also offer missile-based T1 hulls, often multiple versions, but the destroyer size is guns only. This creates a slight progression jar from a missiles-only pilot, in that he has to go directly from frigate to cruiser. 17. Why is NPC damage types not readily visible? Other games have more detailed and much more accessible combat logs, making it super easy to realize that one has fitted the wrong resists, e.g. Why is EVE so obscure in these regards? Note that I'm not asking about information that shouldn't realistically be readiliby detectable by my shio's sensors, such as he resists of the NPCs. Only the damage they do. I'm envisioning some kind of bar graph that shows the total HP damage taken in the last 10 or 15 seconds, divided into EM, kin, therm and exp, or something. 18. When are we going to get member-only corporate stores using a LP currency? I want to make cooler stuff available to my members, but right now my only option is to give it to them on a case-by-case basis, or put it in an accessible hangar from which they can - if they wish - take everything. As a CEO I want to be able to dole out LPs that the members are then free to use as they wish to buy stuff from my corp. (I'd also like to be able to set an LP salary to all members of a given rank, in addition to whatever I feel like doling out on an ad hoc basis). When are you going to implement that? 19. When will you make FW missions stop sucking? They're hugely dangerous, requiring me to jump far into low-sec, bt the rewards are stupidly small. 20. Do you have plans to not shut the server down daily eventually? Just moving to a 48-hour schedule would greatly help players in certain time zones. Or even a 20/28 hours schedule, where one day you shut down at 9 UTC, then the next day at 13 UTC, then either the next day you shut down at 9 UTC again or else you keep it online until 9 UTC the day after (a total of 44 hours). Or are you happy with shutting down every single day always on the same time of the day? 21. Do you plan on making standings to NPCs erode? Or security status? I'm thinking something like 0.02 per week if above 5 or under -5, and 0.04 per week otherwise, shifting gradually towards zero? (Maybe more slowly than that for faction standings) 22. Some Caldari ships, such as Deep Space Transports and Assault Frigates, have one of their bonuses applied to active tanking. Do you think that is wise, or would they be more balanced if the bonus was changed to something passive in nature? 23. Rigs or modules to increase strip miner range? Are there plans for that? -- Salpad
Nick Vandelay	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:21:00 - [515] Edited by: Nick Vandelay on 10/05/2011 02:25:38 Two questions related to Incarana: I'm sure walking around as an actual person is something that's been in CCP's minds and the minds of most eve players since eve first started. At what point though in Eve's history did CCP actually begin to take the idea of walking in stations seriously, and treat it as something that is technically possible, rather than something purely conceptual? Did you guys always consider Incarna to be something you guys would eventually achieve? If not, then at what point was it that it changed from an just an idea, to an actual possibility? Other question: do you guys have any plans with regards to differences between walking in stations in low-sec and high-sec stations? Peace!

Captain Mung	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:41:00 - [525] Edited by: Captain Mung on 10/05/2011 02:44:14 Is the warp enter/exit effect ever going to look like how it is shown in the EvE trailers? In the trailers ships accelerate/decelerate very rapidly as if someone is slamming on the brakes (or mashing the gas), which looks much cooler (as CCP knows because well.. they put it that way in the trailers rather than how it actually looks in game), in game ships exit / enter warp relatively much much more slowly. So when are the trailers going to reflect how warping looks in game, or vice versa? Also, when are electronic attack ships and black ops ships going to be changed so that they are useful? Black ops ships are good for covert ops bridging and thats about it. Electronic attack ships are good for.. well.. exploding easily. So when will they be modified (or are there plans to modify them)?
Gimpb Fusion Enterprises Ltd	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:45:00 - [526] Props for doing this again! thoroughly enjoyed the answers the first time around. The CSM recently announced they're going to encourage you guys to iterate on ship balance in smaller more frequent bits compared to the large changes with a long time in between. What has been the reason for the huge but slow iterations? Do you think this is something that's likely to change?
Rose Hips	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:46:00 - [527] Can we have more ship models with the EXACT same attributes (or insignificant changes)? Rational: This would give Eve more color and choices for pilots. Not just a Raven 2, but a new model design that is simply a Raven in attributes. Will give some choices to pilots that prefer Chevy over Ford.
Salpad Caldari Carebears with Attitude	Posted - 2011.05.10 02:46:00 - [528] 24. When a POS leaves reinforced mode, some types of anchored weapon, such as ECM and missile launchers, stop working. Is this working as intended? If yes, how come some POS types, such as Caldari, have bonuses to anchored missile-type weapons? 25. Are you gathering ship usage statistics? Specifically statistics of how many player-hours each ship is flown in any kind of combat, regardless of whether it is PVE or PVP? If you are not doing this, what is your reason? What other powerful tool do you have to discover the true opinion of the player base of the various ship hulls that you offer, so that you can re-balance? 26. For almost any ship or weapon stat in EVE, there is a skill you can train to improve it. You want more shield HP, there's a skill to train. You want faster shield HP recharge, there's a skill. You want faster ship flight, there's a skill. You want more CPU, there's a skill. Yet there is no skill to increase sensor strength? Are you planning on adding such a skill? Or four skills, one per sensor system type? 27. CPU is much harder to come by than powergrid. For powergrid, there are several modules to choose from, including some quite powerful ones (+15% for Reactor Control T2), and also rigs. CPU is harder to get, with ony one module and no rigs. Have you considered adding an Advanced Electronics skill that gives +2% CPU per level? 28. Sometimes mining in an asteroid belt, my Hulk is stuck and cannot warp away. I have to manually fly away from the belt before I can warp. Is this working as intended? 29. Tritanium is obviously worth much more than you originally intended it to be. You also clearly intended Veldspar to be the least valuable ore, yet as the game has played out over the years, the emergent effect is very different from what you intended. Are you considering a rebalancing of ores and/or minerals, so that Veldspar and/or Tritanium will be more in line with what you originally intended it to be, i.e. less valuable and attractive. Emergent gameplay is usually good, but it is blatantly obvious that you meant veld/trit to be at the low end of the value spectrum and it isn't. 30. Can T3 cruisers get a range bonus on remote rep? It doesn't have to be as big as the bonus Logistics ships get, just a small bonus would be nicer. -- Salpad

Faction War, some very small changes would make it more attractive and enjoyable e.g. some loyalty points for plexing, and some reward or bonuses enjoyed for captured systems Assault Frigates, really need a clearer combat role Carriers--they are now essentially big logistics, really not much fun, they should really do more damage than just a t1 unskilled battleship.

Apolion	Posted - 2011.05.10 03:10:00 - [535] Can the forums have a better filter so that topics can be searched more thoroughly prior to making a suggestion or giving an opinion that may have been dealt with? I realy would like line of sight targeting constraints to be part of EVE tactical battles. Even the oveview should not show a ship that has been hidden from direct line of sight. Would the load on the server be too much to impose the rule; you loose targeting lock if an object, be it an Asteroid, station, or simply another ship was obscuring direct line of sight?

Gusto Gal	Posted - 2011.05.10 03:27:00 - [537] Any chance of fixing the bounty system? currently you place a bounty on a person, that person uses jump clone to get to a clone without implants; has their friend pod them and they split the bounty. Not only did they kill you, but now they can steal the bounty you placed upon their head. Perhaps make it a contract with a upfront cost to buy a kill right, and a payment for completing the job. This will give the possibility of private/corporation/alliance contracts in which you hire a merc group to get a guy for you provided you can sell them the kill right. They get paid rather than the guy you want killed, you get satisfaction.

Is the incredibly advanced technology to make artillery rounds travel at the speed of light exclusive to the Minmatar of all races?! Seriously, lets have some warping/MWD missiles so they can have a place in fleet battles and/or legitimately snipe in pvp 3. Have you ever thought, the heck with it, lets just base missiles off of tracking and give them optimals slightly larger than turrets, no fall-off, no criticals, no glancing blows, warping/instantaneous dmg, and just get rid of the current half-baked ideas like Defender missiles (tracking based, remember, so the ship-board guidance/painting/dish/whatever turret could be ECM'd/destab'd) and explosive radii magically lacking AoA 4.

Svandis Illuvatar	Posted - 2011.05.10 03:47:00 - [545] Questions: Does CCP have any plans to expand wormhole content (for instance, adding an additional layer to each type, 1-6, accessible via reverse engineered probes), and additional tech 3 ships, in the next 12-18 months? Does CCP consider a remake of the PoS system (ala the beating a dead horse thread) to be something serious that needs to be done in the next 12-18 months? Are there any plans to implement moon-mining in wormholes (perhaps for rare materials used in additional t3 production)? Are there any secrets in the currently implemented wormhole sites (such as the integrated terminus), that players have not discovered? Will there be additional design a ship contests in the next year? Was the winner of the CCP version of these contests picked partially because CCP was not prepared to design and implement additional t3 ships at this time? (Peregrine fan here) With the demise of the new UI a few months ago, have these plans been shelved, or is CCP still working on this? Thank you!
Duke Kessler Caldari Proposition Thirteen The Third Rail	Posted - 2011.05.10 03:53:00 - [546] Any plans to revamp the low sec/0.0 access limitations. Mainly increasing the number of systems to scale to the increased player base and adding more access points to reduce bottle necks. The main idea being that currently there are many 0.0 choke points that can easily be held by a corp/alliance. This prevents small groups from pushing into low sec/0.0 and forces fleet warfare. Low sec was much better when you weren't camped in everywhere.
Daniel Darkcross	Posted - 2011.05.10 03:54:00 - [547] Ok CCP... How about a jovian expansion? is there anything on the sort? Also about what you said in fanfest of the new content setup. More background stories, new chronicles, not so many walls of text and actual blueprints and schematics of ships... when is that coming? or will we have to wait till world of darkness comes out to see that? Last question i promise, is there a short term plan on changing how rats work? Improving their AI and lowering their numbers? or is it also for a 2015ish date?

Veritas Vates	Posted - 2011.05.10 04:29:00 - [554] Questions: Of the two, which is CCP's higher priority, playability or realism? Do any of the forums have a dedicated CCP Employee whose primary job it is to read and route to other CCP memberÆs relevant queries/discussions and/or a synopsis? When you are warping to a mission location or entrance directly (as opposed to using an acceleration gate), is there an intended reason why can't we choose our warp in distance? Is there a web page or forum that lists those things, which CCP has declared policy as to being considered exploits? Are T2 BPOs that are destroyed put back into the game somehow? Will there be Tech 2 or faction ship models coming out which don't resemble their Tech 1 counterparts? Why are so many Meta 4 items equal to or superior to their tech 2 counterparts in every category? Is that by design or because changes left them antiquated? How many Polaris' are currently in the game? If you were to take a poll of CCP employees, what would be their favorite soft drink? What Kind of turrets do the Jovians use? Are there future plans to have the Astronautic Engineering skill perform some useful function? Wish List: Any chance, in planetary interaction, that we could get a button similar to the zoom in on command center, but that zooms in on the first ECU then the next with the next time it is clicked? Are there any plans to include a counter for the number of missions per agent level completed toward the next storyline of that agent level, on the faction info pages? Can we have a display in the Science and Industry window, jobs tab, that when no job is selected, will show us a current total of how many Manufacturing jobs, and how many Research jobs are currently in progress with the current filtering options? Are there any plans to replace some differentiation between starting characters, such as one education choice getting frigate 3, another mass production 3, and the third labratory operation 3? Can we have a single character API key, to give someone limited access to just one of the three possible characters on an account? Are there any plans to increase the cool down time for war declarations that expire or are cancelled, or simply drop the increasing fee for continuing an existing war, thus preventing the 7 out of every 8 days war?

Jehan Markow	Posted - 2011.05.10 04:35:00 - [556] I heard this really nasty rumour that CCP will be completely ditching departmental Connections skills because of something regarding agent quality. Seeing as I have spent well over 100M on those connections skills but made back about 30% of my investment, how are CCP planning on making sure I am reimbursed (if indeed this rumour is true)? When Learning skills got removed, I thought it was a massively unnecessary dumbing down of the game that made it less interesting as it prevented the stratification of the player base into intelligent and gank-horny categories. If the individual connections skills are removed, this will remove yet another entertaining element of the game. Honestly, I wish you guys would find some actual problematic game mechanics to fix rather than monkeying with some of the niftiest parts of the original program. How about fixing all the problems with corporation interfaces? How about streamlining the membership list? How about fixing corporate roles? How about making sovereignty mechanics more balanced so that defenders have an incentive to defend? Drakes are still a bit overpowered, and large PVP battle lag is still a problem. It seems that these issues are far more pressing than a skill area that some small (but growing) percentage of the EVE Online player base fails to understand because they are not mature enough to understand how cool this game is. So, if the nasty rumour is true, could you at least give us some idea of why it was decided to make this a priority over more crucial issues? Maybe because you could kill off the skills with one programmer instead of 20? Please, I'd really like to figure out whether it's worth continuing to spend my time in a game where my investments are repeatedly devalued. Thanks, Jehan Markow
Amy Elteam	Posted - 2011.05.10 04:52:00 - [557] As game designers, your design decisions have great potential to affect players. When you're considering a change to a mechanic do you find yourself thinking 'this will maybe upset a lot of players, this will be awesome!' Does the anticipated player reaction play any significant role in game design. Oh, and when can we get a missile launcher hardpoint on the Ibis, it's a damn shame that this ship can't use missiles.

Brent Anderson	Posted - 2011.05.10 05:23:00 - [565] Can a new Missile type be added for use in larger Missile launchers. MIRV type missile. Example: Torpedo launcher on a battleship fires a single Torpedo that splits into three standard missiles. In use for close in defense of larger ships against smaller nimbler ships. Downsides to MIRV missile Much shorter Range then normal, Also the smaller missiles are FOF not targeted, and finally cost...these Buggers ain't cheap. Just and Idea but I've read to many sci fi military books and such so don't see how this wouldn't a possibility. Another Idea is kinda against jetcan Pirates.... Booby trapped jetcans. Look Like jetcan, Scans like jetcan, till you open it and your not the owner or someone who's suppose to get it....and BOOM. Explosive Jetcan Booby trap. Bane of Can pirates everywhere.
Marius Jacobs Gallente	Posted - 2011.05.10 05:35:00 - [566] I would like to know why the "Story" bit of EVE has gone a down a lot since the Empyrean age days? I remember how the Empyrean Age Novel tied in with the game. I remember how events was unfolding and In Game Story was unfolding via the login screen where you select your character. I remember the Vids CCP made to tie in with the Expansion and the Novel at the same time...The carrier smashing into the station...holding my breath watching the "News vid" of that and the minmatar fleet at the concord station...and even while we were waiting for the Expansion being deployed and the EVE servers were down, we had a thread we could watch as the events in EVE unfolded. That was awesome. Nowadays all you see in the News thread where you select your character is stuff about how some Alliance I will never see or has never heard about has lost a Titan...or other non Canon, non story crap. PLEASE bring back the strong story content as there was with the Empyrean Age expansion!!! Big Up to Tony Gonzalles (sp?) writing the 3rd Novel...but get these IP creators more involved in the game as with Empyrean age. News threads, In game "News Vids", Novels...common people...PLEASE

Alias 6322A	Posted - 2011.05.10 05:43:00 - [568] Three Questions, one easy, two kind of loaded. Thanks for answering! 1) Like turrets, are missiles slated for an upgrade graphically? ("Poof - My Ship birthed a missile" needs change badly) 2) While there are tons of threads (and ideas) on Faction Warfare and how to improve it, does CCP have a team actively working on Faction Warfare improvements? Looking for details - not just yes or no, though even that would be nice. =) 3) Incursions was a step towards helping players get together, but inherently EVE's cut-throat system makes random-player fleets too risky to try. Has CCP considered truly 'safe' environments (likely early in pilot's life) in which players don't need to fear one another? i.e. Random Fleets assembled to take on an Incursion or Challenge X without worrying about shooting each other down. (No I don't support this idea, but it directly relates to getting new players involved without giving them reason to ragequit in month 2 when they lose that ship they spent month 1 getting.)

Daemon Yorick	Posted - 2011.05.10 05:52:00 - [570] I'll start by saying I'm a dreamer and I over think things. Changing Security Status of Systems Why can't sys sec status be dynamic as in: Alliances able to create 'CONCORD' like system, made for BS/BC/Frigs w/elite drone AI's that patrol gates, attack reds, respond to 'distress' signal, etc. Changes as more reds and/or outlaws appear Changes based on number of recent kills Stations/Outposts Can the current 'outposts' be reclassified as stations (since they are) and new outposts be made available as in: Tons of outposts are seen in missions, why not make them available to build use? Special focus/limited compared to stations (mining, harvesting)(only X # dockable, shared hangar, uses fuel) No limit to number of stations in sys Corp/Alliance can anchor in NPC space (taxed (goes to sov holder), uses convoys) Galaxy makeup Why not allow the galaxy to alter form as in: Factions wage war Wars result in gain/loss of faction sov, sec status, etc. Joinable NPC fleets Loyalists benefit (lead NPC fleets, LP, faction ships, etc) Invention There is no 'inventing' in the current system. Why not allow invention/research that creates new/different items as in: Shield hardening arrays use meta 1 items, why not substitute a meta 2, tech 2, or faction mod instead? Different fitting requirements, bonuses ... Corp/alliance/faction that 'invents' a new item gets bpos for it, others can only get copies (similar to patents (time available to make isk before becoming public)) Our scientists make WH travel possible, FTL possible, change fabric of space (I assume that's how webs work), but can't make a power generator POS mod? Or a computer (CPU) mod? I understand this could make invincible POS, so make the control tower only able to control so many mods, changes on tower size Pirate factions Why can't I be a 'turncoat' and join a pirate faction as an actual member, as in: 'black listed'/red overview icon (not CONCORD killable since they ignore pirates even if they are attacking ships within range) Character customization to reflect new appearance As standing/loyalty increases, greater effect over NPCs able to alter missions (bring in a new wave, alter composition, direct NPCs against missioner) Standings I see no 'real' benefit to standings, only losses. Sure you get better agents (as effective as time/number of missions based) and the station manager likes you (social skills), but why can't standings play a larger role? Other Why isn't there a can available that benefits ice miners? There is no can that allows an 'extra' cube to be stored (giant secure container gives only 900 m3 extra space, not enough for an ice cube). Why not make commodity items more useful, especially those that have no/little use such as extra people? Example: take down POS shield, move ship to within 2,500 m, put X marines in the POS, hope they can kill the operators, giving you control of the tower. OR freedom fighters and stranded pilots getting ships and patrol POS/gate for you. OR Scientists reduce research time. Why can I not rebuild ruined ships/stations/structures at a reduced cost? Tons of ruined stations exist in missions, why not rebuild them and have a corp/alliance/private station? Why can't a corporation hold sov without forming an alliance? Takes tons of SP (and isk) to get alliance skills but a single corp may make up the entire alliance. Why are they punished? When station habitation becomes a reality, will our characters need nourishment? I have lots of frozen seeds I could plant in my soil with fertilizer in my special outpost to sell to the casinos plus I have dairy products, long-limb roes, spiced wine, spirits, tobacco, etc. I also have live stock and wheat. Can our characters wear the tags we have?

Dayreth	Posted - 2011.05.10 05:54:00 - [571] Edited by: Dayreth on 10/05/2011 05:58:34 Edited by: Dayreth on 10/05/2011 05:56:11 What are the plans for additional T2 BSes or T3 of any size? Any plans on cutting down travel time? it's really not fun to waste 30 minutes doing nothing to get somewhere fun, be it hisec where all systems are the same or deserted lowsec. Any plans for arena PvP? The worst thing about eve PvP is that you waste alot of time searching for interesting targets. Interesting means above 10% and below 90% chance of a win. Plans on adjusting aggro mechanics to make griefing the hisec incursions harder? (allowing fleet to respond when someone harasses logi, or prevent loot-stealing). Incursions are a good start, will there be a more advanced PvE content? What do you think about some meaningful rewards that can't be traded in any way, like +50% to bonus effect of that rig on the ship that lasts while you own it. ejecting, trading, putting into corp hangar will remove it. Wormholes: make worholes more exiting to new players by making effect strength independent of difficulty class - C1-C3 are most popular, but the system's effect is mostly irrelevant. Modules: Plans to make capacitor batteries, +% armor modules useful?

Dajli Minmatar True Companion Services	Posted - 2011.05.10 06:04:00 - [576] I'm wondering what is the exact sizes of the ships or at least the frigates to a person (also pod size to a person)? I have read the rifter/747 comparison. I have seen the comparisons online but there is no way to really get an exact comparison. I can get and have gotten a rough idea of pod size to a frigate through various means but beyond the itty bitty graphic of a person to a frigate on youtube or the EVE ships poster it's just too hard to get a "zoomed" in view. A related addition to that question is is this general size comparison intentional? I mean only being able in-game to get a general comparison with a pod rather than a person standing right by the cockpit or a ship or something like that. At least knowing the size of a pod to a person would give me a better idea. Is the person curled up in a pod half their size? Is the pod the same length as a person? Is it twice as big?
Thunderpants Longdrop Amarr Privateers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2011.05.10 06:05:00 - [577] I have three questions: 1. Will I ever be able to change a characters name? 2. Will it be possible to change the colour scheme of a ship? 3. Would it possible to kill characters who loot the container contents from a destroyed enemy craft without drawing upon the ire of the security forces? Therefore, a player who steals the contents of a can from a Pvp wreck will not be attacked by the security forces, but can still be attacked by the player who made the initial kill.

Mara Rinn	Posted - 2011.05.10 06:06:00 - [579] Originally by: Daemon Yorick I'll start by saying I'm a dreamer and I over think things. Changing Security Status of Systems Why can't sys sec status be dynamic as in: Alliances able to create 'CONCORD' like system, made for BS/BC/Frigs w/elite drone AI's that patrol gates, attack reds, respond to 'distress' signal, etc. Changes as more reds and/or outlaws appear Changes based on number of recent kills The reason I was given at FanFest 2011 was that security status is coded into the database, and having it dynamic would mean far too much data being transmitted to the client. Of course when you stop to think about it, you could encode the -10.0 to +10.0 range as a single byte, meaning you need 7.5kB to update the "bytemap" of all system security statuses. There are further optimisations of course, since you don't really need the system's security status on the client until someone opens the star map with stars coloured by "security", or when the autopilot has a path programmed in, or when someone attempts to activate a jump gate from hisec into a system which is now lowsec. A "cache primer" could be sent to the client on every login, thus ensuring that the player has fairly recent data. Updates could be sent as systems change status, with the security system ensuring that sec status doesn't change particularly quickly. I would actually like to see all space working by the same rules, with the exception that empires will have access to CONCORD upgrades for their IHUBs (i.e.: the technology enabling CONCORDs rapid response network). Add FW style plexes to nullsec, so small gangs can increase the security status by running their enemies' plexes, while allies need to keep running the plexes to keep the "ships killed by us" count high. Add IHUBs and TCUs to all empire space. Give faction militias the right to plant IHUBs and TCUs on behalf of their respective empires (i.e.: a TCU placed by the 24th Crusade will claim that system for the Amarr empire), including cyno jamming lowsec to ensure that FW fights only ever involve subcaps. But this is a questions thread, I'll take my nonsensical ramblings back to the cupboard where I belong ;) -- [Aussie players: join ANZAC channel]

Wotlankor Black Aces Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2011.05.10 06:44:00 - [583] You put all these players into systems together and make a joke out of locating them thus making it hard to solo roam. So you have campers sitting for hours with black OP cynos waiting to get a kill because of this. Presently people move via jumpbridges to high population systems, the gates are not traveled that much anymore. Battleships used to be the mainstay of any fleet. Now there is a new "I win" Button in the form of supercarriers. Dreads used to be viable but have been made obsolete. So many ships are completely useless and could well be removed. Merlins anyone? They used to fill a role that has now been taken over by larger and more powerfull ships. The ship design evolve, yes, but then remove the outdated ships. - Will there be a change so that Sanctums show up on overview once scanned and you can directional scan them? - Are there any plans to make the HACs (Ishtar, Cerb and Zealot) good roaming ships again? - Will Battlecrusiers be balanced ? (good tracking, dps and ****tons of hp makes it impossible for a HAC to fight them) - Will super carriers be adressed so we dont all have to get one (and another account) in order to play the SOV game? - Will EvE get the "big" feeling back? (Remove all or some jumpbridges so people have to travel again, even some of the highways in high sec could go) - Why are there even tech I frigates when they are never used other than as cyno ships and those 2-4 first days in EvE? - Will there ever be objectives for medium size gangs in warfare? - Will EvE return from BO/hotdropping to combat with small mobile forces that actualy travel around using gates?

Any chance of making it so that its worth raiding NPC convoys again? (only time I know of that you guys took sand out of the sand box). You redoing the UI to make it 3D-ish. How about improving the in game maps, especially the system level one, so its more like I dont know...badass? So it shows the details you get from right clicking and "show info" but in a more cool way. Have you ever thought about making it so when a BC or larger ship gets destroyed that instead of a "boom", there are pieces of the ship floating (clustered) in space with a (simple) animation of little puffs randomly all over the wreck (representing the crew using escape pods). It wouldnt have to be hi rez or detailed. You guys already show wrecks, why not add a little more detail. And once its salvaged or despawns you get a little "poof". *This could be toggled on or off in the options menu. For that matter asteroids- when they are mined-out why not do a little animation? Just disappearing is well, lame. Missiles, ahh what you could do with missiles. Id love to see the old style of missile launch animation. Or better yet, you guys are redoing turrets, why not do the same with missiles. You could have vertical launch animations, You could do turret style animations, How about instead of a single missile you have cluster missiles like the Starstreak (not three different missiles, just a different animation). Same with rockets. Maybe most of all (and worst of all), how our ship take hits. What is it 4 different places on a ship that a laser "targets"? Im not saying battle damage, just spreading out the weapon effects. Any chance of improving that? I like immersion.

At the moment you have to click every BP to find out what is it if you want to move it to e.g. your cargo hold. 2. Have you considered (and what do you think about) more free-form emotes in chat channels? Currently, players cam write emotes only by starting a sentence with their char's name by using "/me" (e.g. "Hrug does this and that"). Do you think it would benefit RP-ers if they could write stuff that doesn't just start with their char's name? If the channel permits it, for an example? 3.

To CCP Guard, Top Dog in the gamemaster hall of fame 2. When will we get a fresh Permaband Song like HTFU ?(NOT like keep clickn' plox!) 3. How about a T3 rebalance ? - Cloaky, unprobable Ts are nearly unstopable - On each T3 there are just 2 - 3 Setups used, rest is ignored by players - Proteus has just ja heavy tackler usage. For PvE its nearly useless - etc. /tomjhak
Rocanegra	Posted - 2011.05.10 09:13:00 - [612] My questions: 1. Character Editor 1.1. Character Editor freezes iMac's & Powerbooks, what configuration is supposed to be necessary to be able to use it? I've given up after hours, trying to adjust a characters' chin... 1.2. Maybe it could be useful to have a wiki or documentation about how to use the character editor, with hotkeys/mouse buttons and gestures. 1.2. I also think a "freeze" button could be helpful, it's not easy to take a photo on a constant moving character. 2. UI & usability 2.1. I started a corp with my friends, all from a gamer community (wow, war, apb...), after 1 week "playing" EVE only 1 of them decided to stay, the rest left the game because they didn't undestood anything. Please would you improve UI Usability some day? I know that there're so much elements on screen that it's a difficult task, but not an impossible one. 2.2. After two months playing with the market, I've not yet understood how works the buy/sell orders, as sometimes I can sell for a price that it's not listed on the market window, other times i can't sell to a particular buy order that is some jumps from my location, even if they show on the market window... I think that there could be a way of showing wich order you can buy/sell from your location without confusing you so much. 2.3. I think that the need to click every item for "show info" is not an useful option. What do you think about a small configurable frame that shows all the relevant info you need when you mouse-over an item? 2.4. I'll add some additional information to the attributes of modules and charges window panel, so that it shows at the same time its base stats and the stats that it will have if you use it (with your actual ship/implants/skills...), some like: EM DMG: 25.5 / 37.2 2.5. You could integrate the fitting window like an overlay of your ship while you're at the dock, so that there's no need an aditional window frame, like you've done in some youtube videos with white lines+text over a rifter, showing it's modules 2.6. Please, please improve the way we need to work when looking for agents of a NPC corp, couldn't it be possible to show them with some filters, column ordering (like required standings, distance location...) or showing them in a more useful map? 2.7. The star map is a beautiful and very useful tool, but it's very difficult to use, please would you improve it so we can zoom it more? Maybe some opacity filtering for jump planning, clearing overlapping so that you don't click where you don't wan... something in the near future? 2.8. Do you accept UI/UX desings for considerations? I've plenty of experience in UX design and could send you some suggestions about my idea of a better UI for EVE 3. Ships 3.1. It's there a revision of Black Ops ships in your agenda soon? 3.2. Will there be sometime new versions of T2 Destroyers? 4. Missions 4.1. Have you considered about making higher level missions that require smaller ships? somewhat like harder versions, more like plexes for two or more players, that way we could make more use of T2 frigates and destroyers, and maybe use those small RR modules that are dusting in our hangars. "LF RR frigate & T2 tank for L4 mission ..." 4.2. Will we be able to see mission objectives and jumps needed in star map? (thinking about FW missions, 20+ jumps away) 5. Skill queue 5.1. Will you some day change the skill queue so that we could make long term skill plans?, some like the way other third party tools do, but integrated in the game, or even in eve gate, so that we can plan two or three months ahead could be nice :) Thanks!

While metagaming has always been a part of this game, a very fun part even, it is now shifting to downright illegal internet attacks. Since these illegal attacks are obviously related to in-game conflicts, it could be argued that by doing nothing, CCP might be encouraging these illegal attacks. And if the link between the attacks and the in-game conflict is proven, what will you do?

Ive noticed that ship tweaking seems to be something that was only done in times long past. So my question is: Is CCP now 100% happy with ships and modules as they are or do they intend to take a look at ships at some point during the next 12 months?

Avorill	Posted - 2011.05.10 09:40:00 - [622] Hi ccp. my question is that can we not make tha mission more cool. like when the time comes when we will be able to walk in station that you will be able to walk in to the agent's office and can see him walk there and you can hear him talk to you not just read the long mission text and if you whant to know more about that mission are about to do you can read the hole text. and have the agent behave how he is and what the mission is about. And when alliance can have a like a meeting in a office room and you use eve voice that the charater will move his mouth like is whas talking so we not only se that char and hear some voice but the mouth is not moving.

SupaKudoRio	Posted - 2011.05.10 09:45:00 - [624] Regarding CarbonUI; * What is the internal CCP vision of it's end-goal? A concept drawing would be perfect to show this. * What degree of customization will it allow? Is there any chance of opening up the UI API to the community at some point (even if only cosmetics are available)? * What of the current UI; will we all need to relearn how to use the new one when it rolls out in it's final incarnation? And other stuff; * Will we see any new hulls in future? T1, T2 or T3. * New PvE content, and a fresh look at old content? IMO static missions/exploration sites should be done away with for a much more dynamic system; does that sound synonymous with the goals of the content development team(s)? Also, TOO MANY GODDAMN LCOs!! Do any content developers plan on addressing that? * Regarding unprobeable ships, is it planned to change this mechanic at any time? * When will POSes be updated/streamlined? * Will FW receive some attention? * For high level missions/exploration; can we please have new, harder NPCs instead of just a huge pile of existing ones? * Engine trails. Get on that. * Outdated particle effects, will they see some love? Also, will the art team(s) learn to properly layer effects any time soon (background clouds occluding foreground effects, really...)? * The client-side graphical engine; will it see upgrades in the near future? * Will the limit on fitting saves be removed? * Drugs/Boosters; will they receive an update anytime soon? I probably forgot a lot of stuff, but that's all that comes to mind right now. Ye'llo?

I'm currently using an Orca as a Cargo carrier to get the cargo space needed for the runs that fall above 33,000 m3 limits of Transports and Industrial ship. Is there anything in the pipeline to address this short fall? Perhaps a light freighter using the Orca design with a maximum Volume of between 200,000 to 300,000 M3?

Pinky Denmark The Cursed Navy Important Internet Spaceship League	Posted - 2011.05.10 09:59:00 - [636] 1/ Why is it okay for logistic ships and other ships using Remote reps (including neutral party) to interfere in any combat and still be able to dock or jump gates without having to wait a minute like every other ship committing itself to combat? Neutral reps is atm real deterent from fighting back in any empire war and the mechanics makes it near impossible to fight back against station huggin carriers in lowsec as you don't even have a 60 second window of oportunity which is already near impossible unless you bring plenty plenty friends.

LTC Vuvovich E-ON Technologies	Posted - 2011.05.10 10:00:00 - [637] Is CCP Really Serious About Lag? Then why not deploy your own satellite into Earth's orbit and make that the game server? The game is about space... so why not have a server in space. How hard can it be, I mean NASA put a rover on Mars and then transmitted instructions to it via a 56.6k modem right...and how far away is that? When you consider all of the advancements, the patches, and the upgrades that have been applied to this game since Trinity...is any wonder to you that you still have lag? How much more 'gaming experience' do you really think you can cram into the sandbox before the whole thing goes 'TILT'...? Now here comes Incarta, and then it will be Dust 514...whats next? I mean how much game code do you think it takes before a players PC just up and dies? To coin a phrase my old man was found of saying... "It's like trying stuff ten pounds of pew-pew in a two pound sack." And what about Dust 514...you boys think you can include all those X-Box players without forming some sort of Alliance with Bill Gates's Corp.? You know thats not gonna happen...you're gonna have to deal with him anyway...so why not hit him up man...he's got plenty of ISK's. And how bout all them boys over at NASA...everybody knows they're about to scrub all the shuttle missions...put ya one or two of them on the payroll man..maybe help you boys out with some of those telemetry issues.

Evelgrivion Gunpoint Diplomacy	Posted - 2011.05.10 10:14:00 - [643] tl;dr form: It's been apparent from the perspective of the players that supercapitals need a rebalance. ISK faucets in highsec and nullsec, as well as the mineral faucets in the drone regions and wormhole space, need to be contained. The flow of bulk minerals from one location to another needs to be less safe. The Drake, Hurricane, Tengu, and Dramiel are too powerful, and all of these issues have been this way for two years now. Do you concur with this analysis and if so, will you commit development efforts in forthcoming expansion cycles to fix these problems? long form: Eve Online's general balance and economy has been languishing for the past two years; several issues have made themselves apparent in the eyes of players in the intervening period: There is too much ISK flowing in. Fortunately, this looks like it's being addressed in regards to the recently enacted anomaly nerfs and the agent mission distribution and payout changes. There are too many minerals coming from the drone regions and wormhole space. This abundance of raw material is enabling an extraordinary number of super capitals to be built every week. The Drone Regions, as they are, should probably be thrown away and rethought. Wormhole space needs to be expanded upon; it's nothing but super safe, easily controlled, farmland that contributes to the game's economic woes. It's too easy to move materials around in bulk and the transit of multiple freighters worth of goods can be performed quickly and safely, even into deep 0.0. Jump bridges should be changed in a way that reduces the flow of materials that they currently permit. The Titan Jump Portal and regular jump drives need to be tweaked with the cyno spool up timer, desperately. The tier two battlecruisers are overpowered. The Hurricane is nasty, but the Drake is exceptionally imbalanced. This has been apparent for some time now, and ignored for far too long. The Dramiel is too powerful and too replaceable. The proliferation of this ship makes it very difficult for young players to try to pirate with frigates or cruisers, though the imbalance of the battlecruiser class makes this problem far worse. Tengus are exceptionally dangerous ships. With the right fit, the Tengu can have the DPS of an autocannon Hurricane (550 to 650 dps), 170,000 EHP (an EHP amount comparable to the Abaddon), the signature radius of an Armor HAC, and still push 700 meters per second. Of all the T3s, the Tengu looks to be the most imbalanced of the bunch. Supercarriers beat everything. This needs to change, as the game's health continues to decay every day the present state of Eve's balance is maintained These problems have been apparent to players and some developers for some time now, and every now and then we prod and plead for these issues to be addressed, but so far to no avail. When will we see changes in game balance, game design and economics to end the domination of supercapitals put in place? Will the survivability of battlecruisers, especially the Drake and Hurricane, be brought into reasonable levels? These issues, and many others, have already languished for years; this trend should not continue. These are hard questions, but they need real answers. If you concur with this analysis, will you commit development efforts in forthcoming expansion cycles to make changes, tweaks, and fixes as needed to Eve Online's mechanics to address these problems?

When base capital ships will be unlocked from low sec to be usable anywhere ? Will the jump engines be improved so say ships will have dedicated jump engine that can be used without cyno fields and anywhere (no sec limit, can be blocked with cyno jammers however) - this is badly needed to remove hours of pointless AP crawling and constant fighting by the gates (combat should go where it is more logical, to stations, belts, planets etc) ? Are there any plans to award veterancy ? (active account for say 8-10 years) Current system penalizes veterans (even more so if they are focused on main char as the SP cost per clone gets higher) Are there any plans to implement PhysX or similar things for combat instead of random-dice-throw-health-by point game ? (CCP claims eve as most advanced sci-fi simulator yet most mechanics are of something reminding one of card board game...)

Rexthor Hammerfists Caldari Vanishing Point. The Initiative.	Posted - 2011.05.10 10:47:00 - [649] Currently alliances/coalitions can hold several regions while many of those systems are rarely used. Smaller alliances, determined in living on those systems, would find it impossible to keep their sov structures alive, as even tho the larger alliance stages out somewhere else, it only has to attend to 3 timers to kill an ihub and destroy what the smaller alliance has built up. The problem lies within the sov system itself. It doesnt reward groups that live and feed of a system, but only the ownership of (sov-)structures. Would alliances gain sov by being in a system, living there and using it - many smaller alliances, that currently cannot stem the blob coming around once a month, could make the move into 0.0 One example could be curse. In curse you have several factions/alliances living in different constellations, even only single systems. They dont require coalitions backing them up to live here, even tho wars for "their" systems and stations are fought daily. Having supers is a plus but not a requirement. What is necessary however is the will to see it through, fight daily and keep the upper hand. A coalition living a region away could never simply root you out by having more supers in their fleet than you have in alliance chat. As long as they dont decide to come live in your system for as long until you cannot stand it anymore, to drive you out. the system is yours. -

Serpents smile	Posted - 2011.05.10 10:51:00 - [651] Drones questions. ---------------- I consider drones as a sort of "ammo". There is already a 'scoop to' command available (cargo/ drone bay). Still, I cannot 'load' any drones into my drone bay if they are in a can in space or in my cargo hold. Q: Would it ever be possible to load drones straight into your drone bay from cans in space? Just think of the possibilities solo-ing a drone boat in WH space for example. If you disconnect for some reason, you cannot reconnect to your drones, but you can reconnect to your probes. Q2: wouldn't it be a logical, even excellent idea to give drones that feature too -> reconnect upon disconnect? CCP questions. --------------- Before you used 'agile development, scrum' you where able to push out gigantic, no let me rephrase that GIGANTIC client updates truly worth the description expansions, like Trinity or Apocrypha. After those 2 it sort off became a bit 'meh', with the ultimate (hope you don't mind me calling it this way), ignominious failure which was/ is PI. Q: Shouldn't you go back to developing EVE the way you used too? Q2: why this follow up to CCP's ZuluPARK's Q&A now? We have been asking it for ages and back then he promised to do this more often. Q3: talking about CCP ZuluPARK who said a lot of F* words during fanfest (not that I care it just felt forced), does he talk like that as well in the office and Q4: since our name should be the only thing we cannot change in EVE because it goes along with our reputation, why was ZuluPARK allowed to change his name (or why did he it even in the first place) and we, players are not (I know why we are not, and the answer probably is because we can, yet it still stings a bit). (grrr) Q5, Mac question: whoever is in charge of the Mac client, could you please let her/him show her/his nose more often around the forum, like CCP Whisper once did. Please? It sometimes feels like we're left alone which only creates confusing which leads often to anger. Lastly: why took it almost 3 month's to declare who won your alternate 'design a spaceship' contest?

It doesn't mathmatically make sense that you can keep adding capacity to the shields while the shield recharge stays the same, then add shield recharge reducing items. When shield capacity grows it should make the shield recharge time grow. Also it is rather lame that passive tanks have better pve tanks although they are not expending cap to keep their shields up like active tanks.

Jenny Alderbaran	Posted - 2011.05.10 11:03:00 - [656] When will there be a reason to enter low sec? Currently you can farm the hell out of lvl 4's with ease generating a good amount of isk or you can farm the hell out of null anomalies to generate even more isk. There is no reason for anyone to enter low sec besides travelling to null sec therefore pirating has been taking a hit which is a play style many enjoy. Can you make level 4's more prone to low sec so the people who want to make money have to start going into low sec or make the minerals more lucrative so miners hire security to enter low sec making low sec what it was years ago.

CCP Manifest C C P	Posted - 2011.05.10 11:05:00 - [658] From the Facebook thread On behalf of James Courchaine: With walking in stations just around the corner, and what was said at Eve Fan Fest. Could we have boarding parties needed to take over player own Stations in 0.0 after the shields and everything do down? That way the alliance has the ability to have a last stand inside a station before another alliance can take it over. Making the attackers kill off NPC station guards (giving the marines a purpose) and real players to get to some goal, and make them have to hold it for a said amount of time for the station to turn over.Or last act to spite allow the holding alliance to have a self destruct botton.

Sandrock124l8	Posted - 2011.05.10 11:16:00 - [660] I'd like to put in yet another voice for the questions relating to POS interaction and setups, missle graphics, 0.0 balancing, and hybrid's becoming useful. As for new stuff: Will we be able to customize our captains quarters with manufactured items or things we are awarded like medals? Will we ever get to customize color schemes of ships? Even if it's something as simple as selecting from a list of preset skins, would still be nice. Will we get to manage our skills from eve gate at some point, and if so, can we get a general timeframe? (within the year, 3 months, tomorrow) Will there be an option to turn off the in station interface if we don't like it? So, for example, keep the current interface or be able to switch to the new one that will come into being? Will POS's ever be able to be set up away from moons? So for example we could put them in empty space nowhere near anything, but have them be scannable? When can we expect anything to do with the Jove empire? It's still sitting there locked away from players, and it's been quite a long time since I've heard anything about Jove ships.

Claire Voyant	Posted - 2011.05.10 11:32:00 - [664] Corp Assets is really broken and has been for years. The information for both stuff in corp hangars and in deliveries can be days out of date. In other words, corp purchases don't always show up and items from completed manufacturing jobs might not be listed. Getting different corp members to check the corp assets window might fix the problem, but sometimes the only way to fix it is to have a corp member go to the station and open the hangar or deliveries window, which seems to defeat the purpose. When will this get fixed?
Integra Arkanheld	Posted - 2011.05.10 11:33:00 - [665] Is the game going to have more solo features like: -limiting the number of player targeting to a single player ship to avoid big groups versus one fights? -allowing a player to make a fleet with one ship instead of having an alt in another account in a station in the system? -adding NPCs to work for players with a price to haul to another station, or pick mineral in an asteroid field, slavage for the player... -adding NPCs to interact in incarna... -having personal objects in space (like a POS) instead of only allowing corps to anchor? Things in general that might allow players to also play solo instead of always having to go in a corp...

Tonto Auri Vhero' Multipurpose Corp	Posted - 2011.05.10 11:38:00 - [667] Every question? Ok, how about.. 1. When text rendering will be fixed? Line rendering, specifically, so they stop jumping left and right in the same text block, stop random word carrying between two lines and finally allow for correct text block height calculation, so no more chat phrases overlap will be possible? 2. When stacking window placement will be fixed? Reported it multiple times, with examples and videos. Nothing has been changed. Most laughable, I'm 100% sure, where the real problem lies. Every stacked window remember it's own position. Where it should only remember container ID it stacked into. 3. When context menu problems will be sorted? Show Info is in no way "most often" used menu. 99,(9)% of the times you open menu you don't want it to be on top. -- Thanks CCP for cu

Pottsey Enheduanni Foundation	Posted - 2011.05.10 11:45:00 - [671] Sorry for asking so many questions I know cannot be answers, but itÆs worth a shot. -What happened in the war between the Jove and the Enheduanni? Is it true the Jove lost and the remains of the Jove Empire are just shattered small splinters groups? -Are the Sleepers related to the Jove :) Sorry I had to ask. -There are certain facts I feel we should be able to find out in game if the game was real but cannot as itÆs not practical. This has caused a bit of a problem for those of use researching the sleepers. For example one would assume we pod pilots in Wormhole space are docking and exploring Sleeper structures. Are we finding the structures empty or full of dead bodyÆs? Do the hibernation chambers still have people in? Are we finding the Sleepers are still in habitation or have they vanished? -In wormhole space are the Talocan and Sleepers the same race from different timeframes? Or different raceÆs from different timeframes or do they exist at the same time as different raceÆs? Am I right in thinking Talocan and Sleepers didnÆt arrive in wormhole space and exist alongside each other? -Is the idea the Talocan migrated to wormhole space and migrated away from wormhole space correct? What I mean is have pod pilots found evidence that it looks like the Tolcan went extinct or from exploring there buildings does it look like they migrated somewhere else? Is there Sleeper style battle-damaged caused inside the Talocan buildings? Is there any battle damage in side the buildings? -Why do Talocan battleships have Sleeper parts and Sleeper hulls inside? Was this intentional as a hint on the overall story? -Is it true the Amaar Empress Jamyl I is really a Enheduanni sleeper agent? After all they are the only people we know who can alter pod signals on the fly and the only ones who have full mastery of the human brain mixed in with hyper implants to create her unique abilityÆs. -There is a lot of debate on the Jove channel about are the Society of Conscious Thought Jove or not? I was always under the impression the vast majority of SoCT are Jove with a small % as none Jove. Is that correct? -Will we ever see ships based around passive tanking, like an ability with + to shield recharge or + to shield hit points. What about ships with a symbiotic negative and positive bonus like -5 cap recharge per level but +5% shield recharge per level or some other good or extra bonus?. Or something like -5% all hitpoints per level and +8% to damage per level. -Hopefully everyone knows Eve ships have crews. I always assumed ships like the Domi would come in 100Æs of variations over the years. It is reasonable to assume within the game lore and technology one could in theory have no crew or a vastly reduced crew over standard pod pilot ships? Would roleplaying you have drones and AI plus other advanced managements systems instead of crew be reasonable? ______ How to Passive Shield Tank T2

Now it only has the 2 guns. To me just having 2 guns is a bit under powered compared to some other faction frigs

Will this ever get fixed? ( I will edit in a screenshot when I get home). Lots of us just get big black blobs as intread of shadows. - At fanfest we had Eve (well ship spinning which is a major part of Eve) running on a Tegra mobile system. GPU wise Tegra is last generation performance and extremely slow. Have you looked at running Eve on more modern faster mobile GPUÆs like the newer PowerVR SGX chips which is up to x9 faster than Tegra? I keep thinking if Tegra can pull that off surely we can have a full Eve client on something like an Ipad2 which is massively faster for gaming over Tegra chips. ______ How to Passive Shield Tank T2

Relena mearfire	Posted - 2011.05.10 12:12:00 - [683] Q: Why does CCP make balancing so hard on it's self by having each class of ship have the same number of bonuses? aka: Why must all shuttles have 2 bonuses. Why can shuttle b not have 3 bonuses if it brings it inline with shuttle A and Shuttle C. There are literally a dozen ships that could be fixed with a added bonus. Q2: When will we see a revamp of the fleet system to encourage breaking the blob. IE: bonuses for wings attacking separate targets. Q3: The current way we tackle if fairly flawed and often is 100% catch or 100% not catch. Would CCP consider at least testing a system that makes it a % base tackle on all methods of scrambling sub caps. and a Strength based system for supercaps where the longer a supercap is scrammed the more points it needs. Ie a single dictor can scramble a super cap for say 3min. and then you add time on by adding more scrambles.

Jaylorn	Posted - 2011.05.10 13:06:00 - [697] Crew...I think I understand the whole capsuleer idea, but it still seems silly to me to have a frig with a crew of seemingly one (you), then have have some cruiser, BS, titan, etc. with still just you invovled. This, I know, would be a lot of content to add. But I would like to see crew slots at some point (engineer, gunner, nav, industrial, mechanic, etc.) with appropriate indivials for hire (either one time buy or salary). A frig might have one engineer slot while a capital might have several of each. Part of the idea is that your crew would gain experience based on how much you've used them, so the ships you assign them to get better. It could also open up another avenue for player interaction. Say you have a corp member that is heavily industrial/engineer/science oriented but not really big on the pew pew at the time. If there was some way where their capsule could mount your ship in say the engineer slot and manage your shields actively through some interface, it could open up more aspects of the game to all players. Or a good drone operator mounted on a corp mate's mining ship. And definitely slots for actively flying a fighter of a carrier. On the same concept of actually improving due to actually playing. While still training skills, it would be nice to also gain skill point through actually using them. Say your character trains up for a cruise missiles and now has it at level 2 with a CM launcher I. Maybe every time they fire or hit or every five times...or something they get a skill point for cruise missiles or whatever skill pertains to whatever they're using. I like the idea of being rewarded in skill points for playing vs just waiting for training. Thanks!

It has been an area of great discussion and no one can seem to agree on whether the same mechanics are used when fighting or defending against NPC EWAR ships.

Wey'oun	Posted - 2011.05.10 14:03:00 - [715] Why do you all sell this game as 'the best sandbox experience'. and 'players determine the outcome' of the game. and then Nerf the hell out of everything that makes it fun, you get involved in wars and completely change the outcome of the fights by making it so one alliance can nolonger make the isk to defend itself. At the same time you also ignore the fact that the opposing side openly uses botting tactics for isk making and super capital building but do nothing to stop them. If you wish to keep selling the game as an 'open sandbox' then stop interfering and let the politics of the game run its course. so i guess the question is. dont you think you are guily of false advertising by calling it a sandbox then interfering constantly?

If the answer is "to get there again later", then why not lock them all until they decide to go there again? (With this I mean the stargates in new systems, not the ones originally built by the settlers from Earth) How do they get to the new systems which don't have warp gates?

A number of PI items have secondary uses, as T2 components, POS Fuel, Nanite Pastes, or as components for drug reactions. However, there are several PI items that seem like they were forgotten in integration with the other industrial systems in game. Refined PI commodities such as: Industrial fibers, livestock, super-tensile plastics, and polyaramids currently have no use outside of PI. Will these items, and others like them, be integrated into a more functional role later? Perhaps with Dust or WiS systems?

I was wondering if you have thougth about the aparent lack of npc ships in space apart form the ocational hauler outside stations. im not refering to npc pirates here, im refering to the fact that the only wessels traveling space today are player ships. how about adding npc ships of the sivilian type to travel space and ocationaly give a escort mission. it would in my wiew add a little more life to the universe. cant imagine it consuming that much resorses if you do it cleverly and dedicated. the sivilian element in eve is realy not there. we all pilote military ships today, with the exeption of ore. how about bringing in a little more diversity.

Karia Icehawk ANZAC ACADEMY	Posted - 2011.05.10 14:23:00 - [723] Q: When will interdictors get some loving? How at this time do you see them being loved? For example the Gallente dictor (Eris) is rather lol-wot. Two mid-slots on a ship designed to tackle, and at least one of those slots is always taken by MWD (ALWAYS fit an MWD in 0.0, and this is a ship that can only use its special function [bubbling] in 0.0 by game design) and depending on who you talk to it should also have AB fitted. What e-war can it fit then, or even cap regen gear? Also bonuses for the Eris, which is an immediate clue to never make these, let alone fly them: Destroyer Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret falloff per level 10% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret tracking speed per level Interdictors Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Rocket and Light Missile thermal damage per level 10% bonus to Interdiction Sphere Launcher rate of fire per level /Missile/ damage bonus. Not a hybrid turret bonus methinks.
Shalene Hunter	Posted - 2011.05.10 14:23:00 - [724] Are you thinking of changing the way suicide gankers simply cash in on the insurance after CONCORD blows up their ship (so effectively getting free ships every time)? The universe is a harsh place, so why do suicide gankers get their money back from insurance companies after breaking the law in hisec and getting CONCORDed? To me a simple solution would be that insurance companies will not pay out if your insured ship was destroyed by CONCORD. If this would be too much of a hassle to implement a line of code to check if the ship was blown up by CONCORD or not, instead of breaking/fixing insurance it might be an idea for CONCORD to FINE the aggressors for a response by CONCORD? To me this way gankers have to actively scan for juicy targets (and not just blow up stuff for lolz/tearz) which might make up for the lost isk in having their ships blown up and getting fined by CONCORD for wasting their time (which would have been better spent eating donuts and drinking coffee).

Why can only the 'Starbase Config Editor' change the labels on silos? This presents a problem for our corp and many others that run personal POS's. If we can permission up, anchoring, online, offline, production access, tab access; why can we not change the labels instead of anchoring 35+ silos and having to stretch the EvE client accross 2 monitors vertically every time we need to change the links?

Pelegrinia	Posted - 2011.05.10 14:32:00 - [728] Some questions and suggestions: 1. Is it possible to have a blog where players can do suggestions and the developers of eve are checking at it? In the German forum there is a section, but none of eve is looking at that. Senseless. 2. PVP: I want more small scale and 1:1 PVP. Is there a possibility to open zones, where it is not possible to interrupt fights with carriers, that stops the small scale fights immediatly? One further possibilty are agents offering missions on 1:1 fights or 5:5 fights with different small fleets for example max. Cruiser or 5 frigs versus 5 frigs or 5 frigs versus 3 Cruiser or whatever. This could be part of faction war and the winner will get a bonus and lp. This fights can be in Highsec or Lowsec or in special zones. 3. PVE missions: There are too less lvl 3, 4 and 5 missions. Every missionrunner rescued the damsel 50 times...yawn... I think, lvl 1 and 2 is enough, every player will get as soon as possible to the higher levels. OK, and here are some possibilities like short storys, getting to different agents with different tasks. Another part is the nerf with the agents. OK, with the change to the new system eve want to dezentralize the mission runner to many different systems. But why only fighting agents, transport and mining agents? And why no Quality and less skills? May be there is a possibility to change the system to get the agent to a better quality with higher standing? This part is really poor in eve and there are so many things to make it better. A lot of player want missions, not only to make ISKs (the veterans do it only for ISK, because ist repeating on and on). Special bountys or escalations would be fine as well like the cosmos agents, I want much more creativy. 3. Anomalis and discoveries: Same as missions, please more content and differnet anomalies. And may be some more of them with different tasks and different bountys. May be not so much ISKs, there is too much money in eve anyway. May be there will be in the future discoveries on planets and moons, special hidden belts, stations or structures, comets, nebulae or dark planets spawning, which must be scanned? And for this you need skills? 4. Skills: With more content there should grow the amount of useful skills. Young player have the possibility to specialize and getting good in one part and older players can make more things like now. You see, I want more content. Is this possible? 5. Ships and all the parts of ships: I do not understand the segmentation of the parts. You have Tech I and Meta 1-4, after that Meta 2, and then the items from the shops and the officer items. A player can only produce Meta 1 and 2 and some special items dropped. Is it possible to change this? Tech 1 Meta 1-3 most of the players do not use. Tec 2 and Meta 4 is mostly near the same. There is a lot of space for improvements. What do you mean about this issue? Ships: T1 - T3: There are Ships only T1, most with T2 (a lot of cruisers and frigs) and one T3 (Cruisers). This is not too bad, but may be there are some possibilities for further enhancements (Modules for more slots for example or whatever)? Isn¦t it consequent to have all ships T1 - T3 ? T3 equipment with production? Ok, I think, this is enough questions and suggestions.
Captain Futur3	Posted - 2011.05.10 14:35:00 - [729] 1. what about other graphical improvements like cool looking ship explosions that are random and stay for several seconds for a battleship, new weapon effects, new damage effects and SHIELD EFFECTS? 2. what about sound? The sound in eve is terrible. 425mm autocannons sound like a little machine gun when it should be BAM BAM BAM BAM 3. what about line of sight and clipping for weapons? Friendly fire would add a big improvement for pvp and maybe also nerv blobbing in 0.0 a bit. You actually have to think before activating your weapons. 4. why does eve not have a proper path finding algorithm? Every little compuer game has at least a basic pathfinding but in eve, all NPCs fly against asteroids like if they are blind. This should also be added to the players ship, but thats not so important. NPCs first! 5. why are missions not dynamic but all the same all the time? There are so cool ideas like interrupting a big fight, wingmen that you get if you dont have other players, real escort missions, real attack a transport missions - not this bull**** when you warp into the mission, the transport does not even try to move to his target destination and so on. 6. why are anomalies so static and uninteresting, when they could be dynamic with cool random (hard) events? 7. why does counter ECM not work properly? Its imposible to counter a falcon, even if you want to. 8. what about the balancing of the falcon and drake? Is this under WIP? 9. why do missiles come out of the center of a ship and explode inside the center of a ship? Is there somone working on this? 10. Asteroid belts look boring and stupid. Why are there no real asteroid belts that are huge and wide and have realistic forms instead of this "u-form" with a radius of about 20km. Will this be changed one day? 11. what about the remodelling of these ships: Tempest, Moa, Aeon, Maelstrom, Loki (has some of the uggliest subsystems of all T3), Dominix, Raven, ... (in fact its time for a remodelling of all ships but i think these should have highest priority). 12. why not give different ammunition (every type) different graphic effects (while you are redoing the effects anyway)? This way it would look cooler and it would be more tactical if you know what damage the enemy does. Maybe give the 4 different damage types a specific color ID and if you do 50% kinetic and 50% thermal, the effect has a 50% kinetic color and 50% thermal color. Also i think the effect system should be dynamic that means that a 425mm autocannon projectile should be double as big as a 220mm autocannon. 13. please let me know why in a mission NPC waves simply pop out of nowhere instead of warping into the mission like ALL OTHER ships in eve have to do so? I know CCP is master in destroying immersion, but hell, this is already possible for belt rats, so why not in missions (and wormholes)? I dont get it... 14. what about a complete sound overhaul like in freelacer, where you can hear the docking personell telling you "Your docking request has been granted" or "Please stand by, you have now access to the docking bay 12" or at the gate from a random concord officer "your cargohold has been scanned for illegal wares, but our check has found nothing. Sorry for the interruption" or what about pirats "enemy ship spotted" or "Here is nothing of interes for you, please turn by, or we have to shoot you" "we warned you, now you will die!". Man there is so much that you could do... if it annoys people, make it optional in the settings and all are happy.

Karia Icehawk ANZAC ACADEMY	Posted - 2011.05.10 14:40:00 - [732] Q: When will web-drones work? When will they web within 10km range of themselves (as a 'for instance') and then close to the optimal of 1 or 2 km that most drones sit at? When will they be able to use web while MWDing? I mean, they _work_ ... for a given value of work. They just cannot tie down something that's quick and (probably) using MWD though. Think battleship trying to swat that pest using the drone tools he's got on hand. Drone MWDs up to target. Drone drops out of MWD, goes to web... "Say what? Target is gone!!?" Out of range, nearly instantly due to speed difference between MWDing target and no-longer MWDing drone. "It was right in front of me a moment ago when I dropped MWD!!" MWD after target, rinse and repeat. Pilot: grngrngrngrngrng (from grinding teeth) Dentist: "Been trying to use web drones again, have we?"

vinnymcg Celestial Lurkers	Posted - 2011.05.10 14:56:00 - [739] Take you pick of my questions Will I ever be able to change the name of my character? Not that I want to but it comes in the forms so offer it would be nice to get a clear "NO NEVER!" or "YES in 2025". Many other games have it, you could charge RL cash or ISK and have one name change chance. Would you ever considir incorporation tools like EFT or EVE MON into eve. So I can set up a ship a view its attributes before buying it or having the skills for it and I can use the required skills for that ship to hit one button and add the to my queue. There was a beautiful bug way back when extra stars were added to the sky to represent the nearby solar systems. The bug would cause the names of constellations and systems to appear over the stars in the sky when not in map view. This looked amazing. Any chance it could be made a feature? WeÆre getting new turret effect YAY!! can we get new missile effects? Like seeing the missile leave the ship instead of just appearing outside the ship then blasting off? Will there ever be NPC haulers that transport stuff for you the current system of using players simply does not work? Or is there anything planned to revamp the hauling contract system in EVE. Thats about it thanks for reading. Quickbar tread
Hakaru Ishiwara Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2011.05.10 15:02:00 - [740] 1) What is the storyline / game immersion rationale behind the Dominion-installed sovereignty-related re-occurring taxation on null-sec entities? How is a primarily high-sec entity (Concorde), whose only practical and visible influence on null-sec is ratting bounties and the rating of "DED sites," able to monitor and enforce such high tax rates? I understand the need for ISK sinks in the game, but the current costs of claiming Sovereignty and upgrading a system are not believable when looking at the game's over-arching stories and themes (and the clearly misleading "sandbox" description). 2) Why does it take so long for the QEN reports to be released after a quarter has wrapped up? How many person hours go into the research, data analysis and publishing of the reports? What percentage of pre-determined analysis queries are run against the database as compared to newly contrived investigations? 3) Why, when patches are released, are there so many undocumented but obvious changes to the game? Are developers not working to-plan and inserting their own, untested changes? Are the project team member(s) writing the patch notes not doing their jobs properly? Or are these intentional omissions by CCP? 4) Aside from the sorely mistaken "Quantity over Quality" study findings, why does CCP continue to attempt to release new content rather than work to refine and innovate with the current game mechanisms and content? Yeah, team BFF is nice, but a bit late to the game. 5) What is CCP's exit-strategy and timing for selling off the EVE IP and making a boatload of cash for its primary investors and principal employees? 6) What is the technical reason for those infernal "session change" timers associated with gate jumps, station docking events, fleet position changes, etc.? If there is no technical justification for those timers, then what is reason for their existence? 7) Why is the changing of energy weapon crystals instantaneous v. the 10 second delay for the changing of ammunition magazines for every other weapons system? What makes inserting a new magazine of ammunition so much different than swapping in a new crystal? 8) What happened to the "treaty system" mentioned during the period of time just prior to the release of the Dominion expansion? 9) What is being done to fix the ever-present "hey there are neutrals on the field" bug whenever a fleet (from small-to-large) experiences a session change through the use of a titan bridge, jumps a cap fleet to a cyno beacon or jumps sub-caps through a gate? 10) Why is CCP choosing this point in time to answer the hundreds (thousands?) of questions in this thread that were likely posed and left unanswered in countless previous threads? Is there serious developer bench-time? Is the new community manager trying to make a mark? 11) By what guidelines do CCP personnel operate when it comes to contributing meaningful content to threads that they either spawn or that address their area of expertise?

NinjaSpud	Posted - 2011.05.10 15:11:00 - [743] It would also be awesome to have the ability to delegate permissions by the pilot rather then the roll. For example, I Live in WH space, and it's tough to recruit because we all share the same corp hanger. The fear of theft stops us from recruiting and from people wanting to join us. It would be sweet if our CO could delegate "Corp Hanger 1, General Tab" to "Player X", and "Corp Hanger 2, General Tab" to "Player Y" Are there any plans for implementing something like this?

Bloodpetal The Black Company TBC	Posted - 2011.05.10 15:19:00 - [745] The current overview filtering by relationship is very difficult to use properly. For example, if I ONLY want to show war targets, I also have to show neutrals and bounties and other criteria that have to overlap since it's "Intersection" based logic to show whoever meets all the criteria. I'd like to see the overview filters work by INCLUSION and EXCLUSION - so that I can show ALL neutrals, and then exclue any corp members/alliance members/fleet members that are neutral to me by standing - but meet other criteria. Do you think something like this could be implemented? As of right now, to show ONLY corp members is impossible without also showing neutrals or blue standings and bounty standings and.. and... and which basically throws a whole bunch of other people in your overview that should be filtered out. ____________________________________________________ Bastet :: Captain

Grey Stormshadow Starwreck Industries	Posted - 2011.05.10 15:43:00 - [749] My question is about corporation lab/industry job permissions. Is there any change to get 'em fixed so, that CEO may let members have access to manufacture/research/copy corp blueprints without them having access to cancel other members lab/industry jobs? ...and if so - here is suggestion for fix: Would be really nice and constructive to get this changed so, that there would be 3 portal access level; Top level access level: - May install corp jobs - May cancel corp jobs installed by anyone - May deliver finished corp jobs installed by anyone Mid level access level: - May install corp jobs - May cancel corp jobs installed by himself - May deliver finished corp jobs installed by himself Low level access level: - May look active corp jobs but not install, deliver or cancel anything This change would mean a lot to many corporations and hand tools for CEO's to start building much more open industrial corporations. I hope that you agree... Anyways thanks for providing this thread to ask stuff. ------------------------------------------------- Play with the best - die like the rest starwreck.com - support the cause :)
Hirana Yoshida Behavioral Affront	Posted - 2011.05.10 15:43:00 - [750] Giving the overwhelmingly positive reception of the GM events leading up to Incursions, is CCP finally willing/able to reintroduce the MMO element to its long brother the RPG? On a related note: Low-sec is tired of being the redheaded stepchild that inherited all the bad genes and but a few of the good. Is low-sec ever going to matter? On a similarly related note: Factional Warfare has become one of the main outlets for what remains of RP in Eve. Is CCP ever going to get around to actually making it all it can be and not just a glorified mission hub? On a not at all related note: Communication. Communication. Communication. We want/desire/crave more blogs, at least those that are promised .. most recently the follow-up to anomaly changes and faucet control.

If so, could that also be applied to drones? Will Sov mechanics eventually be reworked with an eye towards requiring simultaneous successful assaults in the targets Sov space instead of the "need a huge fleet to chew up the massive block of hit points this one structure has" mechanic in use now? ===== The world will not end in 2012, however there will be a serious nerf to Planetary Interaction.
Kurull Skullsplitter Minmatar Citizens of E.A.R.T.H. E.A.R.T.H. Federation	Posted - 2011.05.10 15:52:00 - [754] Edited by: Kurull Skullsplitter on 10/05/2011 15:53:21 One would expect that the ships in use and in particular the spacionics (avionics) of these ships would be sufficiently advanced as the date of the game storyline might suggest. Yet a most simple GUI interface such as the Survey Scanner GUI is not capable of interfacing in reasonable fashion with the overlay. In particular the scanner data for a roid when you click it does not highlight the same roid on the overlay. There are other instances of similar ice age GUI but I think you can get my point with just that one example. On to the question. Is there some good reason for these type of "ice age GUI" issues to be on purpose or is it that the programming focus is on other more important matters?

Ravcharas GREY COUNCIL Nulli Secunda	Posted - 2011.05.10 15:59:00 - [757] I have a follow-up to: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1508537&page=1#9 Quote: The short answer is yes more tech 3 ships are coming. That idea for tech 3 industrials is pretty cool and needs further investigation. The first ships we will most likely do is something smaller than cruisers just so we can cater to the largest audience. Then follow that up with some big mama jama and maybe subsystem targeting. The bad news is these ships likely won't be here until 2014 at the soonest given all the other cool stuff we have planned. The schedule does depend on feedback though so if there is enough demand we could swap things around. Does "these ships" that likely won't be here until 2014 refer to t3 industrials, "big mama jamas," or smaller than cruiser t3's? Another new ship related question: The design a ship contest winners, when will we see them?
Siro Higami	Posted - 2011.05.10 16:06:00 - [758] Originally by: Evelgrivion tl;dr form: It's been apparent from the perspective of the players that supercapitals need a rebalance. ISK faucets in highsec and nullsec, as well as the mineral faucets in the drone regions and wormhole space, need to be contained. The flow of bulk minerals from one location to another needs to be less safe. The Drake, Hurricane, Tengu, and Dramiel are too powerful, and all of these issues have been this way for two years now. Do you concur with this analysis and if so, will you commit development efforts in forthcoming expansion cycles to fix these problems? long form: Eve Online's general balance and economy has been languishing for the past two years; several issues have made themselves apparent in the eyes of players in the intervening period: There is too much ISK flowing in. Fortunately, this looks like it's being addressed in regards to the recently enacted anomaly nerfs and the agent mission distribution and payout changes. There are too many minerals coming from the drone regions and wormhole space. This abundance of raw material is enabling an extraordinary number of super capitals to be built every week. The Drone Regions, as they are, should probably be thrown away and rethought. Wormhole space needs to be expanded upon; it's nothing but super safe, easily controlled, farmland that contributes to the game's economic woes. It's too easy to move materials around in bulk and the transit of multiple freighters worth of goods can be performed quickly and safely, even into deep 0.0. Jump bridges should be changed in a way that reduces the flow of materials that they currently permit. The Titan Jump Portal and regular jump drives need to be tweaked with the cyno spool up timer, desperately. The tier two battlecruisers are overpowered. The Hurricane is nasty, but the Drake is exceptionally imbalanced. This has been apparent for some time now, and ignored for far too long. The Dramiel is too powerful and too replaceable. The proliferation of this ship makes it very difficult for young players to try to pirate with frigates or cruisers, though the imbalance of the battlecruiser class makes this problem far worse. Tengus are exceptionally dangerous ships. With the right fit, the Tengu can have the DPS of an autocannon Hurricane (550 to 650 dps), 170,000 EHP (an EHP amount comparable to the Abaddon), the signature radius of an Armor HAC, and still push 700 meters per second. Of all the T3s, the Tengu looks to be the most imbalanced of the bunch. Supercarriers beat everything. This needs to change, as the game's health continues to decay every day the present state of Eve's balance is maintained These problems have been apparent to players and some developers for some time now, and every now and then we prod and plead for these issues to be addressed, but so far to no avail. When will we see changes in game balance, game design and economics to end the domination of supercapitals put in place? Will the survivability of battlecruisers, especially the Drake and Hurricane, be brought into reasonable levels? These issues, and many others, have already languished for years; this trend should not continue. These are hard questions, but they need real answers. If you concur with this analysis, will you commit development efforts in forthcoming expansion cycles to make changes, tweaks, and fixes as needed to Eve Online's mechanics to address these problems? reposting this so it doesnt get ignored. CCP, answer the tough questions for once, and not the easy lay ups these ******s are throwing at you.
David Grogan Gallente	Posted - 2011.05.10 16:06:00 - [759] 1. will ccp ever allow us to have alliance pos gunners? also perhaps even introduce a special ecm pos mod (1 to match each race's ewar type) that only works on caps & supers and give pos's base resists a 25% buff and double the hp on all towers as there is far too many capitals now compared to when the pos was first introduced and sadly the current pos just doesnt cut it anymore. 2. has ccp ever considered improving the exploration by creating a truly epic exploration arc... for example by finding lots & lots of hidden rare components throughout known space and sleeper space then using invention create a module and find coordinates that lead to a way into Jove Space (First player to sucessfully achieve this gets a special one of a kind ship) followed by an even more epic exploration arc "the search for Earth" 3. will ccp finally buff dreadnaughts to make them useful (in numbers) vs supers again and fix the Hel & naglfar? 4. will ccp ever fix gallente blaster boats...... the blasters themselves are fine but the ships (thorax/deimos + brutix/astarte/eon megathron & hyperion) are too slow & heavy for blasters to be effective (since mwd vs warp scram nerf thorax/deimos's mwd bonus becomes a useless bonus)... A buff to all blaster boat's base speed inline with minmatar autocannon boats would really help gallente pilots without making them overpowered. Gallente drone boats are fine as they are and need no buff or nerf. 5. will ccp ever fix the broken npc rat stuck with mwd left on bug that has existed as long as new eden has?

Andrea Griffin	Posted - 2011.05.10 16:21:00 - [763] Neutral remote repairing is the bane of all highsec empire wars. Do you ever intend to give an aggression timer to a ship that repairs another with an active aggression timer? EAFs are very underutilized. Despite their nice bonuses, they're very fragile and very niche. Do you have any plans on revisiting these ships soon, and what changes might you make? How does Zymurgist do that sexy thing with his hair? The first tier battlecruisers are very underutilized compared to the second tier. Many frigates and cruisers also suffer due to the tier system, to the point where even experienced pilots will ask, "What the heck is a Breacher?" Are there any plans to do away with the "tier" system entirely for these ships, and make every frigate, cruiser, and battlecruiser actually useful? What is the best locally brewed beer in Iceland? Eve has a very rich universe with an amazing amount of history, both CCP-generated and player-generated. Has CCP ever considered making promotional material based on what players have accomplished? What about short movies, or a feature-length film? I haven't seen an isk spammer in the newbie corps in a very, very long time. They used to be a constant annoyance but it has been months since my last encounter. Who should I hug? Can you provide any status updates on the new forums? The security issues aside, I'm concerned about the use of pixels to specify font sizes. Why does CCP insist on making things impossible to read on large screens, both in game and out? Although not Eve-related, this is CCP-related: I want my World of Darkness MMO news and I want it now, and I want awesome werewolves too. And a pony. What can you tell me about what's going on back there? When the Garou are introduced, will there plans to later add the Gurahl, Corax, Bastet, and others? Do employees of CCP frequent the FHC forums? When are pirate factions going to be involved in faction warfare? It only makes sense that they would be, and I don't see that it would be difficult to implement either. Are there any plans on players being able to directly assist Incursions in some way? Do you have any questions for me? - "When I nerf something, it takes 2-3 months for your dreams to be crushed." - CCP Big Dumb Object

Dogma Rex	Posted - 2011.05.10 16:30:00 - [765] Will Blackops Battleships ever be able to use Covert Ops Cloaks? (Which would be a big improvement ) Also can Backops battleships have more effective damage output I would rather do more damage with my Widow than jam anyone I come across so any chance of having a Marauder style damage bonus, but with a good rate of fire? Generally how come cover ops ships have such a terrible damage output (with the exception of the Stealth bomber) and tanking options (cloak isn't really a tank when you are being shot at) so can we have more combat orientated Covert ops ships? (even the T3 ones suck when it comes to combat) Player owned tournament arenas where pilots can do everything from Training to 1v1 and Fleet PVP, this could work well with Incarna where pilots can bet on fights from the comfort of their local bar. Arenas could be set up at moons where a corp already has a POS maybe using "Holoships" which can only be used in the arena and can simulate anything from an Ibis to a Leviathan as long as the pilot has the skills to use the ship. So to sum up the ISK is real but the ships are not . So CCP could we have something like this? The other ancient races Terren, Takmahl, Talocan and Yan Jung will we ever get to meet them or their technology in any meaningful way? Where have the Jovians got to?

Cambarus The Baros Syndicate	Posted - 2011.05.10 16:39:00 - [767] It takes nothing more than a quick peek inside any incursion vanguard or assault system to see that the sites are horrendously imbalanced. People will run all the sites that are not override transfer arrays and nation consolidation networks, leave the 2 mentioned and either move on to the next system or stop running sites, depending on the fleet. Even if fleets CAN run these sites (they require higher end ships and better pilots than the others) the rewards being identical to the other 2 sites it's often not WORTH IT to run them, so you have fleets that are capable of running the sites ignoring them to make better isk doing the other sites and the fleets that can't run them well...they can't run them. The end result tends to be that you'll see (at the vanguard level) 2, maybe even 3 vanguards with nothing but OTAs in them, and nobody running sites. My question is this: Is anything going to be done about this obvious imbalance? Is there any chance at either lowering the requirements (an OTA has more EHP to chew through, AND the hardest mechanic to overcome), or increasing the payout to give an incentive for people who CAN do them to TRY?

An Agent gives the same missions over and over again... if i got a penny for every time that damsel is in distress again I'd have lots of pennies :) 1b) Missions are pretty static at the moment, is there a chance that missions will have more of a random element to them in the future ? be it in the amount of rats or variety of ship types u can encounter in a certain mission..... or maybe rare spawns and the loot that goes with that. And maybe changing scenery even if it's the same mission ? Mission running can get quite boring if u get the same missions over and over again, maybe the above can spice things up a bit ? 2) Missile launchers auto reload when it's engaging an enemy and it runs out of ammo.... why not let them re-engage the same target they where firing at before they ran out of missiles (probably the same goes for other weapon types but i'm not familiar with them.)

I had a Rattlesnake loaded up with FOF missiles once, just to see them flying off to hit some neutral npc ship while 10 or so enemy ships were just banging away at me. Next round they were all trying to hit some poor space station with a gazillion hitpoints. So in short, FOF missiles currently suck and are a complete waste to use.

Andrea Griffin	Posted - 2011.05.10 17:13:00 - [782] Pirate Ship Logs were a cool bit of in game fluff. Do you ever see their return to the game, perhaps as a way to add an expedition to a pirate site into your journal? Have you ever considered Charlie Sheen for a public relations position? Are you people still harassing Tuxford about the Tranquility incident? Shame on you, give Tuxford a break already! Everyone goofs up once in a while. I have seen talk to far about features being planned for 2013, 2014... ...But you know what? We want those cool features and we want them now (and a pony). Are there any plans at CCP to hire more developers so that we can get the cool stuff and bug fixes sooner? Eve is an advanced world with cool cloning and other advanced biological technology. Why can't I have feathers? Why can't my market alt have her brain transplanted into a Slaver Hound? Speaking of Slaver Hounds, will they make an appearance with Incarna? What about other fauna of the Eve universe? And speaking of Incarna, where's my wedding gown, fishnet stockings, and cossack hat? The art team did a truly amazing job with the tattoos and I'm eager to see an expanded clothing selection as well. - "When I nerf something, it takes 2-3 months for your dreams to be crushed." - CCP Big Dumb Object
Hakaru Ishiwara Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2011.05.10 17:14:00 - [783] Q: Does CCP truly intend to answer every question (w/in their guidelines) in this thread? If yes, then what happens if there are more questions to answer than time / personnel allow once 05.13.11/16:01 UTC rolls around? Q: Why did CCP set a hard limit of 50 ship fittings that can be saved by a pilot? More info / links here. The fittings change was advertised in such a way that individual pilots would have spill-over fittings saved to a local XML file. No worky. Q: Why does CCP almost always remove or diminish (aka, nerf) the efficacy / value of features when attempting to balance the game as this typically enrages large blocks of players and leaves others asking the valid question of "why the **** did I just spend xxx days training for that ship / weapon / capability?" Q: Why does CCP not look at providing more creative means and counters for elements of the game that are perceived to be over-powered?

Virtue Maulerant	Posted - 2011.05.10 17:19:00 - [786] Edited by: Virtue Maulerant on 10/05/2011 17:20:19 The current cyno mechanics that enable a ship with a jump drive to jump require two characters.This severaly limits the ability to move a Capital unless one has a cyno account or corp mates/friends able to assist.However the latter is dependent on other people and in many cases there is a need for independance which can only be achieved with a cyno alt.Have you ever felt that people who do not want to multi-box are severaly limited in this matter?Other people cannot always be at your disposal not in the place you wish them to be when you you want them to be. While EVE is first and foremost a social MMORPG some things are simply impractical when relying on other people resulting in the inevitable cyno alt.At the end of the day the use of cyno alts is tedious.Have changes to the cyno mechanics ever been brought it up in the form perhaps of a cyno probe or other solo friendly solution to eliminate or provide an alternative to cyno alts? The crushing majority of people do not create a second account just for cyno alts therefore there is small relation to the issue of losing subscriptions.

Blasters are of course viable in pvp but lack the range to be productive in pve and Rail Guns have almost no use in any format when compared to the other three long range weapon systems.

The bonuses they provide are nowhere near as effective as their armor/shield/skirmish counterparts (for example the ECCM link is less than half an ECCM mod, whereas the invuln link for shields is somewhere between a t1 and t2 invuln wrt effectiveness, and 15% bonus for TPs/TDs?

Hazdera	Posted - 2011.05.10 18:06:00 - [798] What is being done to contain the notorious criminal, Jerry Rin? He has been terrorizing the Rens area for quite some time. He is clearly too powerful to defeat and rumour has it that he is an incredibly powerful man. 8 feet tall with razor sharp teeth. Able to rip the horns off of a charging bull using only his teeth. Anyways, he terrorizes the Rens area demanding "teh sparz" from those unlucky few who dare challenge him. His vast criminal network extends far beyond this game, and I have heard whispers that his political influence in the South-east Asian area is just as significant as his power in the North American and European criminal organizations. These are just whispers though.... and I know nothing. However, we should try to focus on the issues that pertain to the game: what is to be done about this criminal mastermind? What will you do to stop his seemingly unending rampage that leaves us all battered and destroyed in his horrifying wake. There have been successful campaigns demanding his freedom him from the bondage you once placed him under, and it seems that his overwhelming public support is enough to allow him to do anything at all..... Is there anything that can be done to stop a man this powerful, or must we once again be forced to bow down to his seemingly limitless god-like power?

Giving us system-wide effects, LP rewards based on participation, or other reasons to actually engage in seizing of territory again in lowsec Faction Warfare? *Note - I had read in an interview with one developer that the code was designed to do just that - be modular and useable for revitalizing other outdated NPC plexing systems. 2) Does CCP have any plans to revisit Faction Warfare development at all? Or is it considered a finished feature or simply low priority compared to other projects. (We can handle the truth!! just be honest...) Thanks, devs for your time and for listening to us!

I'm a huge fan of the storyline in Eve Online. Is there a way, besides the forums, you can contribute short stories/story ideas?

I'm interested in eventually becoming a game developer, so I figured I'd might as well start contributing when I can and it would be nice to get feedback from professionals in the industry.
Nyla Hunt	Posted - 2011.05.10 19:39:00 - [814] Is it possible that we could get a fleet command transport ship that can transport say a rigged and fitted Battleship or 2 and support ships from location to location - I am thinking of something that could hold a clone bay especially for Incursion deployment from a Corp perspective? It would also be like the orca and use more than 1 warfare link to give fleet bonusses. Another function for it would be to do field repairs (in a safe spot of course) and fitting. That way deployement to Incursions would be much more structured and better organised. Secondly can we get stuff to happen in space much like it does in WH space where certain anomalies occur that drain the cap or reduce shields and stuff like that- and this would change form day to day in systems - thus making you check the "weather" before you go out so to say, to quote:"One tiny crack in the hull and our blood boils in thirteen seconds. Solar flare might crop up, cook us in our seats. And wait till you're sitting pretty with a case of Andorian shingles, see if you're so relaxed when your eyeballs are bleeding.

Nomad Quento Minmatar	Posted - 2011.05.10 19:44:00 - [815] 27 pages of questions - sorry, but I came to page 7 before I gave up reading more questions, so bare with me if these questions already have been asked. 1) The skill queue was a huge improvement but why have a limited skill queue where you only can queue skills within the next 24 hours plus a major one which runs for days? Why can't we have an unlimited queue? This would make us train in the optimal order and what we want instead of tweaking and finding alternative skills to train if it doesn't add up. And for those not very active, we don't need to change skilling all the time. 2) Any plans of changing skill queue from EVE Gate (if 1 is not possible)? 3) Why do we need to pause skill queue and leave ship before clone jumping? Why not just push the "Jump" button and jump straight away? 4) Lower timer on clone jumping would be nice so we quickly can change location - I think this makes the game even more dynamic. Why has this been limited to only once per day - why not unlimited? 5) I know you don't run the EVE cluster on Windows 95 nodes... so why the need for the daily reboot? Wouldn't it be possible to be alive 24x7? I know the roids are regenerating at reboot but surely this can be done in other ways also? 6) I am an EVE API developer (market orders) and it would be really benefitial if we could see the EVE backend database ID for the current item. For example if I buy a frigate, it has an unique ID throughout the whole game (from it is born until it is killed/scrapped). If I then sell this exact frigate I can track the profit on that exact frigate instead of as we need to do now - first in, first out. Tracking stuff would be cool in the API - for example for history on stuff (who has owned my ship before I bought it?). 7) Server seetings should be used everywhere and anytime! It is so annoying reinstalling the game (yeah, it happens) and then redoing various tasks which is saved locally. I know this is hammering the database server even more but I really hate having local settings when they are better saved centrally. Any plans to implement this? // Nomad Quento
Antonivs	Posted - 2011.05.10 19:46:00 - [816] My only concern frankly is in related to the tools your customer service has available to them. In tickets I've submitted, the #1 reply was "no in our logs". When I've inquired, it seems nothing of actual relevence to a player, his actions, his location, the commands given to drones, jump timing, order of commands, timer, point of agression etc etc.. are ever recorded. Thus my question is, can you improve what is recorded, and thus their tracking of events. Examples of information, like those presented above, need to be tracked for the purposes of supporting your customer base when something has gone wrong..

Cornwalace	Posted - 2011.05.10 19:53:00 - [818] Edited by: Cornwalace on 10/05/2011 19:53:42 Q1. How are you and the new CSM chairman working towards getting things done? The reason I ask is because there was some major concerns as to the type of person he is, and how aggressive he is in wanting to get things done. I just hope that it doesn't intimidate you guys to the point where you're just not going to work with him as a way of revenge towards him. The concern I have is because of this particular quote from CCP Veritas - "tl;dr: Time dilation slows down time so the server can keep up with what y'all are doing. We're going to work on it nowish and if everything works out you'll see it some time not quite soon." Q2: Certificates need a second look. I understand that they are only recommendations. We appreciate the work originally put into it. The reason for the second look is to verify that every single one of the 100+ skill's are represented, and there are a few that are not covered (such as the ORE Industrial skill). Will there be a second look? Q3: I understand that the Eve Chronicles are put on hold for a long period of time to help develop more player-directed content. Will any of the previous content (events) in the other Chronicles be referred to in some of the newer Chronicles, or will the player-directed/assisted chronicles be based on new storylines, without much attention being put on the earlier ones? Q4: I understand that CCP and everyone associated to the storyline want to keep a good bit of mystery in this, but, I have a question about sleepers. Is the storyline more complicated and thought out than it needs to be, or is it necessary to overthink the sleeper storyline. I just don't want to waste my time trying to find all the clues about Sleepers, only to find out that someone will randomly think "Hey, let's throw in this and see what these guys do now, since it fits with the grand storyline anyway" type of mentality? Q5: Can we have these question/answer threads more often instead of every few years? I don't understand why it requires a whole bunch of work to actually do, when it's a simple task of getting the answer of either "yes, we're working on it" or "no, sorry, not in the plans." It helps keep many of us satisfied for some time, knowing that you scratched that Eve Itch about this problem, that solution, or just knowing that you're hearing us and we don't keep asking the same questions that you're planning to say no to. Q6: To all the dev's that can answer this - Before you got hired, was the job more or less than what you were expecing it to be?
Pavel Bidermann	Posted - 2011.05.10 19:57:00 - [819] On the much discussed issue of motherships being way overpowered, what are some of the ideas about balancing them? If they aren't nerfed then perhaps a t3 battleship that can use capital guns with either few guns or a gun duration modification to the ship (sort of a marauder/anti-cap blend). Perhaps a real performance boost to dreadnauts? Either way, these setups wouldn't be much good against sub-cap ships. It's funny that any carrier can tank like they do. Real carriers can be crushed like paper bags if you get through the escorts. I used to serve on a battleship. I have a little background with that. =)

Salpad Caldari Carebears with Attitude	Posted - 2011.05.10 20:55:00 - [829] 31. Why don't my Assets searches include stuff inside containers? It's hard to keep track of my stuff, so I put it into containers all the time, usually containers named with some logic, but still I do not have track of all my ****, after having shifted mission base like a dozen times over 4 years and a few months of playing. I imagine it's more expensive for the server to do a more complete search, but I'd actually be willing to pay a bit for it. Or maybe each player get 1 free Comprehensive Search per week and must pay some million ISK if he needs more? 32. Do you plan on reducing the amount of scrolling needed to see all the ship stats in "show info"? For instance, each of the four shield resists gets its own line, each of the four armour resists gets its own line, each of the four hull resists gets its own line. You could combine those 12 lines into just 3 lines, showing exactly the same information as before, but in a more compact format. It's really annoying having to scrolls more than should be necessary. 33. Can Freighters please have a skill that increases their warp speed? 0.7 AU/s is very slow. I'd be happy with something like a rank 4 skill that gives +0.05 AU/s per level. Do you have plans for something like that? Perhaps a similar skill for T2 Assault Ships and/or Interceptors? (which obviously needs to give more than +0.05 AU/s to be worthwhile) 34. Have you considered having each agent offer a choice of two missions, one which takes an estimated period of time of 25-30 minutes (less for a veteran player with 50M+ SP) and one which takes an estimated period of time of 90-120 minutes (less for a veteran player...)? As it is, if I feel like playing for half an hour or so, all I can do is mine, since missions frequently take too long. At other times, I'm in the mood for a longer and more involved mission. -- Salpad

Even in the latest 0.0 changes you reference the balance between empire and null-sec so why is it that low-sec is ignored in such equations? Q2: The bounty system needs improving to make it viable as a method of play - do you have any plans to implement a more in-depth system in the future? Q3: The profession of piracy is one that many find themselves interested in through my experience, with a great deal of young players wanting to take part. With FW being a slightly pointless endeavour in it's current form and the actual 'piracy profession' being too unstable and tough for most to sustain themselves with, what plans do you have in place to benefit this style of play? Q4: When the hell will low-sec get some love???!
Bomberlocks Minmatar CTRL-Q	Posted - 2011.05.10 21:06:00 - [832] CCP Zulu û Senior producer CCP TomB - Producer CCP Hammerhead û Lead Game Designer Q1: To me the direction the game is going seems to be vague at best - it seems as if there is a priority on Incarna and possibly Dust after that, but there doesn't really seem to be a point to it. Incarna, as I now understand it, will be CQ first with an emphasis on the new player, with possibly moving about stations later, but none of this addresses the core of what Eve is to those who play it: a complex game about internet spaceships. And that game is suffering badly as almost a decade's worth of unfinished and unbalanced cruft has piled up that make many parts of the core game - shooting other internet spaceships, or building those spaceships to shoot others with - irritating and with time simply tiresome. Some steps have been taken to address this since last year's summer of rage (Team Gridlock for combatting lag and Team BFF to fix the low hanging fruit), but clearly, to a lot of us, this isn't enough. There are so many things that need fixing, (old mission content, FW sov and plexing, losec piracy, all the forgotten t1 ships, Hybrid weapons and the ships that use them, the terrible proliferation of Supercaps and their extreme OPness, trading, manufacturing) that there should by rights be at least two more permanent teams, one for finishing old content and one for constantly rebalancing the game. What is your position on this and why is so much old content ignored and forgotten by CCP? Q2: There is such a huge gulf between players with years of experience and new players that it is almost totally impossible for newer players to compete in the pvp arena, no matter how much of an improved player retention rate you hope to get with Incarna. This is the obvious reason why the majority of eve sits in hisec. It is only through things like eve-uni that any of them get any hope of doing pvp early on in game. Have you ever considered this problem from a realistic point of view instead of trying to force those players into lo- and nullsec through various hisec nerfs? CCP Tuxford û Senior Programmer Yours truly û Community Developer Q. The forum debacle: There is the perception amongst the players of a constant thread of incompetence amongst CCP's staff. The forums provide a very good example of that. There was a lot of feedback to the beta tests with almost universal dislike of the new forums (slow, clumsy, ugly, bad fonts, too narrow insecure) yet almost nothing was addressed and the final product was so bad that a good deal of the trust that was built up since the summer of rage last year with Team BFF and Team Gridlock was lost again. A)Why does CCP give the impression of only listening to their customers when things are so bad that they have no other choice and B) why are there so many technical problems with any and every iteration of the game?
Corina's Bodyguard	Posted - 2011.05.10 21:20:00 - [833] Originally by: blessmelittlehobbitfeet Three questions that no one I know can answer: 1) When bombing T1 frigates with a stealth bomber, you generally hit only around 500, even though the bomb does way more damage than that. How is bomb damage calculated? Does the distance from the bomb explosion to the target (assuming it's within 15km) affect the damage done? 2) If you make a safe spot directly between 2 gates, and anchor a Large mobile bubble, do you catch people? If not, why not? 3) There is no up/down in space. Why is there up/down in EVE? I can answer all of these (I think), though I'm not a CCP person... 1)Not 100% sure, but it seems bomb damage is based on sig and speed, much like missile damage. 2) when warping, you travel through stuff, independent of the physical universe. The bubble exists in real space, the warper does not. 3) because without an up/down, the server would have to calculate the position and orientation of every ship in EVE relative to every item in EVE... 5 people missioning would lag out a system. (maybe hyperbole, but thats the general idea). My question: Does CCP have plans to make wrecks scannable?
Dro Nee	Posted - 2011.05.10 21:23:00 - [834] Edited by: Dro Nee on 10/05/2011 21:24:24 Not entirely sure the "panel" knows this info (I dont know mah devs sorry), but its worth a shot: The QEN's are one of the few sources of information available to players that can be considered relatively bias-free. Meaning that the numbers/figures presented there are less likely to be "cooked" in order to support any singular groups special interest. 1) Are there any plans to move away from "snapshot" data when it comes to population and ship use statistics? 2) Has anyone from CCP had a desire to do follow-up blogs that explain/expand upon the data in any way? I.E. "Here is a much more in-depth explanation of how we obtained the data and why said data is important" If yes, is it just been a matter of everyone being too busy recently to do such blogs? 3) Will we get another "Statistics you want to see" thread soon?

When are tier 3 Battleships (Abaddon/Rokh/Maelstrom/Hyperion) going to see Navy Issue versions 3. When are T2 versions of said ships also going be appearing? Originally by: Super Chair Are hybrid turrets going to be looked at anytime soon(tm)? As I don't know about others but for me it seems ridiculous that a Tier 2, i.e. the Raven, requires lower skills and costs less, yet can readily be fitted to outperform the more expensive, and higher skill requirement Tier 3, the Rokh. Throw in the restriction of hybrid turrets to kinectic and thermal damage as opposed to all flavours and it really seems like the devs just hate gunboats. I used to fly a rokh but switched to Raven when I played with the fittings in EFT and saw how stupid it was to stick to using the Rokh.

Haruka san	Posted - 2011.05.10 22:39:00 - [839] Why can't mission rewards be more dynamic, such as having an option for payout (minerals, bpcs, ship, mods, etc)? Currently only tutorials, storylines, and COSMOS missions give things other than isk, right? For example, I spent my first few months in EVE doing manufacturing missions, as I liked the type of rewards I got in the tutorial. But after I got to level 4 agents, and still wasn't getting anything, I gave up. I went into manufacturing hoping to get the extra runs on the bpcs or spare minerals, but was greatly disappointed when I never got them. I'd like to see rewards be more flexible, like decline rewards for a few missions, so the accrued reward later is better. Example: level 4 missions offer choice of isk or an item as a reward. I decline the reward for 10 missions. The next I get offered isk or a faction mod. Continue declining, get offered isk or faction frigate. Or perhaps they repair your ship free of charge. Or if you lose your ship on a mission, they'll give you a new one (assuming you have enough accrued) or buy some mods for the replacement. I know this crosses over with LP, but the lay mission runner (non-LP farmers) take a long time to get the LP, or costs a lot to get the tags/items. For instance, I've been mission running for Caldari Navy for about a year. I've acquired enough LP to get 40 Navy cruise launchers or 13 5-run prints. But I have still not acquired enough tags to buy 1 (print or mod), thanks in part to ninjas and rarity of tags in general. I think the reward system should blend with the LP system.
Tyrandiox	Posted - 2011.05.10 22:47:00 - [840] Edited by: Tyrandiox on 10/05/2011 22:54:00 Edited by: Tyrandiox on 10/05/2011 22:48:56 If i remember correctly there are plans to massively revamp the current (abhorred) User interface (circa last summer's `back end updates`). My question(s) is: When can we expect to see a new interface, perhaps one that isn't right click dependent, has some form of 'intelligence'(smart select for double click feature based on target or object type, eg; double click an asteroid to lock and mine it.)memory, modding capabilities, and\or more intuitive keybinds\controls, and by extension, will there be new FONTS (and font SIZES?) A bunch of tiny 'quality of life' fixes don't count as a 'UI revamp' in my book, it still looks the same as it did almost 8 years ago. Lets face it, the policy of 'keeping everyone on a level playing field' by restricting the user interface to the point that even looking at your screen induces claustrophobia seems kinda backwards with the recent direction of the game, aesthetically speaking, (Carbon character creator, graphics updates, and incarna looking down the road,) not to mention the fact that nearly every other game today supports some type of graphical modification (who wouldn't want to see their ship shields as an actual bubble icon around your hull on your hud?) Functionally it is in need of a huge update ANYWAY, im sure that there can be restrictions hard coded into the games core files that only allow so much information to be shown (health of non locked targets etc) Eight years ago 12 pt fonts worked just fine with 16 inch CRT monitors, but more and more we are seeing 19, 20, 22 inch (and personally i play on a 32' HDTV, game looks amazing, cant read **** though.) or larger LCD monitors, HDTVs and even projectors.

Kronos	Posted - 2011.05.10 22:48:00 - [841] 1. As regards industrial ships or transport ships, is there going to be any Frieghter like ships that can carry ships about that are fully fitted (and rigged) The orca can but it is very limited to size. Have a Frieghter tier2 for carrying fully fitted ships would be a good addition. The reason for the question is that I am contstanly moving ships to one place to another but would be good if you could move all or most your ships in one move rather than one at a time. 2. Ages ago there was mention of a system wide asteriod belt rather than small clusters is this the case still? 3. Also ages ago mention of possiblity to chase comets through systems collecting resources etc from them. Is this still in the pipe line somewhere? 4. In Beta Testing you used to have all types of roids in belts the rare ones being of very little number unless in low/null sec. Can this come back again? I have millions of questions but they all seem to of ran off somewhere so I may come back.

rootimus maximus Caldari	Posted - 2011.05.10 22:59:00 - [843] Some of the answers you've already posted have dates in them. They're in years because it's medium-term stuff. When can we expect to see this being the standard for pretty much everything that's coming (with greater accuracy for things that are short term)? I don't think most people really expect you to meet every single deadline first time around, but giving us actual planned dates (and updating us when those dates have to change) is a better way of managing player expectations, no? I realise this would mean adding to someone's (or a team's) workload, but it's infinitely better than soon(tm).

It has been suggested that some wealthier players have legitimately spent thousands of dollars on plexs and bought a whole supercap fleet from it, is this within CCPs vision of how plex should be used? If not would you act to stop it? The anomaly nerf was considered by certain areas of the player base to be very badly announced and implemented (bang in the middle of fanfest, nothing mentioned at fanfest and then once the 100+ page comments thread was up and running nothing else was said), how do you feel on this?

They are overpowered. 1 on 1 titan vs a supercarrier the battle is close to equal, and 1 titan vs 2 supercarreirs the titan has no chance. Titans are susposed to be the untlimate fighting machines for lack of being able to think of a better term and yet supercarriers are pretty much just as powerful. And in low sec they have no pentilies, unlike titans which can't doomsday, inderdicters can't bubble to hold a supercarrier in place, and bombers can't bomb so supercarriers shouldn't be able to use fighter bombers in lowsec.

Mariner6	Posted - 2011.05.11 01:17:00 - [862] 1. Please address the whole Gallente/Hybrid problem. I've spent my first year surfing on the crazy learning curve of EVE (which is why I love this game) but its been depressing at how bad most of my race's ships are compared to others. It wouldn't bother me to switch, which is what I've now decided to do (Minmatar of course), but the investment in skill points almost makes me want to quit the game. 2. An idea about the Bounty System to perhaps fix it and push Incarna: When you pod someone with a bounty on them they wake up in one of the major trade hubs and in an Incarna CONCORD jail; their med clone auto relocated there. To get out of jail, they must pay an equal amount as the bounty that was on them to a NPC jailor. If they don't have the isk, then there is a lounge where other players can pony up the bail to the NPC. All subsequent income earned by the bailed out player would then be "taxed" at 50%, those taxed funds going to the loaning character. A 20% interest rate would be added to make this attractive to players to be loan sharks. Having to pay an amount equal to the bounty to get out of jail to the NPC jailor would end the exploit of just having an alt/corp mate purposefully kill the character to collect the bounty as now you would not profit from it. Those who bounty hunt and manage to pod their target would get the original bounty, plus the knowledge that the offender now wakes up in jail and has to pay the fine. This may require some tweaking on how and when you can place bounty's on others (such as you can place a bounty when someone conducts a criminal act against you.) This is probably a stupid idea, but it was a thought. Thanks for taking the time to listen to your customers. It means a lot.

Don Pellegrino Pod Liberation Authority HYDRA RELOADED	Posted - 2011.05.11 03:52:00 - [876] My apologies if this has been asked before. - When are you going to admit that Hybrid weapons and Gallente ships in general do not work as intended? On paper, blasters do the most dps, but since the web nerf in late 2008, they have a hard time hitting for full damage at the range they're supposed to be used. On top of that, the small damage overhead they get over projectiles is further reduced by being unable to change damage type. The ships themselves have fitting issues due to blasters and rails taking up A LOT of powergrid, especially compared to projectile weapons, so they are often forced to fit low tier guns (like electron's) unline other races. Finally, the ships are too slow, they waste too much time getting into range and then are stuck with projectile-like dps due to the reasons above. Small blasters are perfectly balanced, don't touch them please, the issue is medium (mostly) and large. Railguns, well, they lack something. Either range, damage, tracking or something else, but they need something to be interesting. - When are you going to admit that the Dramiel is overpowered and can replace 90% of the T1/T2/faction frigates? That single ship can fulfill the role of almost all the current T1, T2 and faction frigs out there. Killing a dramiel isn't that hard but too often it requires fitting specifically against it to be able to kill it. Its ability to fit a mwd AND an afterburner AND a neut AND a very decent tank AND have decent dps AND have a lot of falloff AND have 3 drones AND go over 5k/s ALL AT THE SAME TIME is wrong. That single ship singlehandedly turned frigate pvp into dramiel pvp. Most of the frigates encountered in 0.0 are dramiels and other frigates are unable to defeat a well piloted and well fit dramiel (thankfully good dramiel pilots are a minority, but the ship itself is still way too versatile and the best at almost everything). The dramiel can just overload its afterburner and leave in the rare cases where it can't win. In lowsec, it made the good old and noob friendly T1 frigate solo pvp almost obsolete. - When are you going to admit that ECM is a terrible mechanic that doesn't scale well? In small gang pvp, a single Falcon can easily permanently TOTALLY take out 4 BC's. The other 3 recons disrupt them (instead of disabling them entirely), but wise piloting can still counter other types of ewar. ECM is just a binary thing: you can do something - or - you can't do anything. In large fleet pvp, ECM is pretty much useless compared to bringing a dps ship. Basically: 1- It doesn't scale well, 2- It entirely disables ships, 3- It's random, making it hard to plan against it and making "pilot skill" irrelevant. ____________________________________________

Jacabon Mere Caldari Capital Storm. Reverberation Project	Posted - 2011.05.11 04:09:00 - [878] It was explicitly stated in a dev blog that high end point income sources where not wanted. You nerfed dyspro and prom to hell to make your point. Doing so you buffed tech to what is going to be a similar value, if not greater. A change appears to not be in the works. Why is it you want tech to make up around 2/3rds the cost of a ship? Is it CCP's desire to have tech the only profitable moon to mine? Are you going to relaise you made a mistake by making an r32 mineral use more than twice as much as every r64 and about equal amount as r16 minerals in every tech 2 ship on average.

And assuming that the answer to the above is yes, do T2 BPOs held by accounts that are banned get recycled to the agents?

When are you going to fix hybrids and Gallente in general ? We have slowest ships in the game with close range weapons that fail to track if they survive to get in to a range at all and long range weapons that hit like a wet noodle from ranges that are HARD CAPPED (250km) to make them useless for their superior range (300km).

Diomedes Calypso	Posted - 2011.05.11 05:48:00 - [886] Could you tell us more about your decision process involved with the vastly increased drop rate of meta 4 microwarp drives a year ago (and to a lesser degree arbalest cruise missle launchers etc) Where this deliberate economic tweaks or accidents ? Was the thought process, "We'd really like all players to be able to afford these modules that give a real advantage in fiting and performance to lower the cost of pvp a bit and make the amount of isk to spend a less determining pvp factor?" Was it "Lets mess with the market somewhere to keep traders on their toes.. lets pull a mod type out of a hat... "hey, it props, not shield reactor relaysQ" or was it sort of , "lets change the drop rates in some other mods to make up for the reduced number or guns dropped to reduce the amount of ore dropped (or just by removing guns and leaving other choices for randomn selectionf froma table intact.. lots more props got dropped?) " in other words was it an accident? In assessing an accident, what is your internal thought process whether or not to undo what has been done or just live with the new randomly? (halphazardly?) created reality? Do you have an economic game balance team that post mortems decisions like that ? Basically its not so much the exact details in that given case but the internal process in how things like this go down . I'd like to have confidence that things that will have an ecnonomic impact have been vetted internally and understanding your process would help with my confidence in that area.

Diomedes Calypso	Posted - 2011.05.11 06:24:00 - [890] Related to some comments in the thread about gallente weapons and many other things. Why don't you experiment more with tiny incrmental budges in balance with periodic patches instead of looking for sweepiong solutions. Can't damage and tracking rates on something be turned up 1% at a time until a better balance is acheived rather than not taking any action until deciding on a complete solution. If things are bad, you dont' need to fix them immediately a partial step in the right direction makes a problem more bearable. Or doesn't it? Is it a policie to have as few changes as possible, or a technical security precaution imposed by employees with the controller roll? As a practical matter, IF you decided you wanted something to do 1% more damage or modeify a drop rate, could you just tweek an number in a database somewhwee with a few keyboard strokes, or are drop rate constants somehow compiled into game code that is only touchable by a few hands on very limmited occasions? (ok im not a tech person , but i'm painting a question that might let your figure out what I should be asking and anaswer that instead) (that might relate to the tech moon thing or gallente weapons, or drop rates of items in a classs so high that they eliminate the use of the other vairations in the same class)

Takeshi Ryuu Black Octopus Blind Octopus	Posted - 2011.05.11 07:08:00 - [892] A lot of things in Eve and out of Eve depend on prices, but atm the only reliable way to obtain ship/module/etc prices is to parse cache files or export every market page you view, and do so for a lot of players. Faction prices are in even deeper trouble. The API system was recently modified to return cached data when the data timer have not yet expired. This is perfect for a hypotetical Eve-wide market API, as most requests will hit the cache, and not the database, if you fear that the market API will slow down the database. Why is there still no market API? Why is there still no contracts API?

Will players ever be given tools to assist in the war against botting (whether it be a petition category or ratting mechanics that make it more difficult for bots to warp off and cloak immediately all the time)? I just caught a raven with bot-like behavior last night and it logged off as soon as I decloaked. Though it was scrambled by rats as well as my bomber, it disappeared within minutes when I would have eventually killed it. IMO this is a bad mechanic, are there any plans to change it? If something is scrambled it should not be able to log off to escape. Ever.
Vierego	Posted - 2011.05.11 08:39:00 - [896] Are you guys aware of minor annoyances/things that make the game inconvenient? If not, is there any way to make you aware of them? If so, where are they on your priority list and is there a way when can get a list of what you know to be minor annoyances so we know we can stop asking about them? I think part of the problem is, we don't know if you know something is a problem, or are aware of it but from a non-programmers/designers perspective things that we think should be a simple fix are much more convoluted. When you guys said "Yea, we want to fix aggression but its attached to so many things it would take a major overhaul." I was actually okay with that, because I knew at least you were aware of it, and hadn't gotten to it for a reason and it wasn't a 5 minute fix. Things like trying to drag all of your inventory into a container, and because you have a container it says "nope, can't do that!" and stops the entire process vs say, just not including that container. Or allow while browsing contracts right clicking a name and being able to view contract history. Or if you view your transaction log, be able to right click it and send message/ect.

furia blood	Posted - 2011.05.11 10:00:00 - [901] 1) people ask will there ever be an end to bots ? ask yourself has the world won the war on drugs? 2) why is there less pvp than b4 and what is being done to insure more pvp ( 1v1 pvp) not blobs obviously due to mechanics and players game style and growth this is how it is. although it would be good if ccp could set up some kind of arena were im sure even the most dedicated pve'r (carebear) would be willing to put up a fight 3) if ccp is working on jumpbridge networks and various mechanics in 0.0 space to promote more pvp. will they work on high sec to make it more secure or atleast make the penalties stiffer for piracy and exspecially suicide ganking? 4) are you tired of hearing pvpr's say there is not enough pvp ? tell them stfu and go to low sec and 0.0 there is plenty of action there but again honestly an arena type area in various regions with ensured 1v1 combat imo would bring more non pvpr's to actually do some pvp if people think a fair fight is stompin baby kittens then there is no winning that arguement 5)Has ccp considered putting up a controled area where pilots can fight 1v1 or small gangs in high sec?????? plz plz i think that would lessen the amount of people crying for the lack of pvp

HardinSalvor	Posted - 2011.05.11 13:11:00 - [924] I have 2 questions regarding incursions. 1: Incursion communities have become fairly adept at prolonging the life of incursions by agreeing not to kill the mothership until certain conditions are met. Is this part of the sandbox mentality of EVE and if not, what changes planned that will counteract the effectiveness of, essentially, ignoring the mothership as long as possible? 2. Even with (likely intended) overcrowding in vanguard systems, vanguard sites remain by far the most profitable and popular to run. Without getting into the numbers, I believe vanguards are disproportionately profitable and that income should scale with the size of the fleet. What changes, if any, are planned that would encourage the running of larger sites? Thanks.
major pane inucabusta	Posted - 2011.05.11 13:17:00 - [925] Ive been doing npc to npc trading routes (great merchanting training tool ) while my skill levels increase. One of the things Ive noticed is some times it appears that someone is doing some of the trades but in the most illogical manner, i e, buying a little bit of this or selling at one place, while leaving other places even better next to them untouched. I was wondering if this was actually a part of the program intended to make the trades worse as the day goes along, just as it would be in player to player trades. Is this part of the program or is it just a very illogical player inthe game. Also, I was wondering if you would consider putting up a warning in jita. All those doe eyed kids wonder in there not realising that the worse pirates of the game arent in nul sec, dont wear eye patches, and dont need lasers to cut you to ribbons. The worse pirates of the game are in jita, wear buisness suits and carry breifcases, and can cut you to ribbons faster with isks than the fastest missles or laser battery in nul sec.

Smertrios Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2011.05.11 14:30:00 - [932] I have a couple of serious questions for you as a concerned veteran player. 1)How would you respond to the accusation by many of the veteran player base that the focus of CCPÆs development of EVE has moved from ôEvolutionö in the early years to ôAdditionö these days? For the first 4/5 years of EVE the game was frequently refreshed with new content that evolved the game play experience. Adding new ships such as Tech 2 and capital ships, changes to speed and hit points and new modules such as bubbles etc etc etc (to name but a few) all changed the playing field, refreshing PVP and making it necessary to adapt and evolve tactics for PVP. In the last few years we have seen a shift away from evolving the core of eve game play, to adding new additions which do not directly affect the games core unique feature, PVP. Giving us the ability to own parts of planets, blob PVE and later in the year getting out of our space ships is nice in concept and I am sure great for marketing but not at the expense of the core game stagnating. How would you address the concerns of the veteran players feeling this way? 2)I noticed this battle report in another thread recently. http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=9504741 On one side of this battle there were over 30 titans and well over 100 supercarriers! Is this the way you want the game to evolve? Not just capitals online but now supercapitals on line? How do you address the obvious concerns that this raises for the future of the game in a few years and what are you going to do about it? 3)I am a member of one the last corps to try to continue to practise piracy as it was in the old days, with an original goal on our conception 5+ years ago of staying as true pirates in low sec forever. We have recently decided to try a little trip to null sec to get away from the incredibly dated and broken Low sec that we have lived in for these past 5 years and the stagnating and degrading game play offered to pirates in Low sec. If corps such as mine are doing this then Piracy really is on its last legs and low sec is in a pretty dire way for small gang combat. Does this concern you at all? and if so what and when can we see something being done about it?
Mike deVoid Firebird Squadron Terra-Incognita	Posted - 2011.05.11 14:30:00 - [933] An ex-employee review of CCP posted on glassdoor.com on 5th Feb 2011 ( http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-CCP-Games-RVW800360.htm ) had this to say about training of, and investment in, your developers: Quote: CCP has no in house training, no programs for continued education in partnerships with educational institutes or commercial entities.There is no way for you to benefit yourself and the company by regularly updating your skills or knowledge. Investing in employees is simply discarded under the common theme of "too corporate". There have been discussions on this for years, and good people left over it. There are signs of this being picked up on by a fresh wind in Human Resources, but it remains to be seen how this will be executed. and Quote: Invest in us, your employees. There are no career or training paths available like at any other professional agency. It is no surprise that people fall out of the boat, all we know becomes obsolete and sticking a few php for dummies books in the games room really just is not corporate training. After reading yet another article advocating investment in and training of developers (latest here: http://www.softwarequalityconnection.com/2011/05/i-like-my-it-budget-tight-and-my-developers-stupid/ ) I've become increasingly worried that whatever cream-of-the-crop you employed years ago has gone sour and their skills are out of date because of a lack of a sensible training regime at CCP. How accurate and widespread is the training situation as described above in the review at glassdoor? What sort of training do your employees do on company time so you can make sure their skills are up to date and relevant for the coding tasks you will be giving them? -----

Diffrent UI possible per ship/ choice betwean classic and three-D version? When will the report bot button be added? Update on the new server blade that was talked about at fanfest. Any chance we can request new agents at stations now that they are simpler? Will the agent discriptons be updated to reflect what types of missions are given. Have the combat missions been seperated betwean faction warfare type missions and pirate type missians. So agents can be found that only give positive security status without killing sec status of a faction. This is what was missing in the system si it still? While harder it was the documention that was missing and the option to opt in/ opt out of the diffrent types of missions that was needed/ the choice.

Xorth Adimus Caldari Blackwater USA Inc. Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2011.05.11 19:28:00 - [962] Why are you trying to fix the symptoms of blob fleet lag rather then make it so that your sandbox doesn't encourage it? Why have you allowed poor sandbox game design, such as no counter to supercapitals other then mooooore supercapitals, to be introduced and worse to continue? Will you buff dread's effective hitpoints (in seige higher resists) so that they can (attempt to) counter supercapitals? Why is moon mining so broken for so long (Tech moons) and you haven't fixed it? Why should moons create excessivly massive amounts of free isk? Wouldn't it be better to have more moons of some value which more people can fight over/ setup and run pos's from? Why was it for a long time balancing was handled by adding in new features then nerfing batting and then never balancing them? Why is balancing the game when things obviously are broken so slow and/or impossible. What are you doing to combat this? Why are new big features added into the game with much fanfare during expansions and then never fixed so they work / improved on? are expansions just ways of getting more accounts based on false promises and how well does this business model pan out when new players then leave eve as they where sold false promises from that expansion? I seriously get sick of telling my friends to play eve and watch them leave disappointed with the 'new content'. Why is eve basicly such a good game and yet so flawed in some key features and user interface/GUI as to make it hard to play for new players? What ever happened to the alliance / corp diplomacy management system prommised in dominion? Why are you discouraging small 0.0 alliances by removing high end anomalies rather then spreading them out over empty unused space (I know you think its helping but really it isnt!)? Are you actually thinking of making the sovereignty system more incremental as hinted at well before dominion (Was this just the ability to shoot station services?) Will sov ever require player interaction (not just isk /index increase) just to maintain. Why did you change the sov system so it was more of the same but without tower spam.. Is Blobby blob blob that blobby system and anchor/shoot a boring thing hence discouraging fighting, working as intended? Do you intend to expand on PI and have PI used in sovereignty (colony management/ bombardment?) Are you actually working on making POSs better to setup use manage and live out of or is it just working as intended? Are you actually working on making faction warfare better or is it just working as intended? What ever happened to the AF 4th bonus (after burner speed bonus I believe was considered at one point?) Why is ECCMs allowing sub cap ship to be unscanable working as intended? Why are these not subject to a realistic stacking penalties like other modules (also can we have 99.999% damage and 99.999% resists please?)? What happened to the destroyer buff? What happened to the low sec risk/ reward buff? What happened to hybrid buffs for guns, guns which use both ammo and lots of energy to do so? or is it working as intended (long range no damage/ point blank lol range with lol tracking)? Why haven't you reintroduced old trails and jump cyno effects, really how hard can that be? Not unhappy or bitter, just want better game design and less poorly thought out expansions and new features on a great game.. is that so bad?

Tarhenn Caldari SWARTA	Posted - 2011.05.11 19:49:00 - [965] Greetings CCP and fellow capsuleers 1) Will there be an advanced search option for the official forums, so I can look up if my question was already asked? 2) Chimera (Maybe the Nidhoggur, too, don't know). You can't ever bring this ship to cap-stableness and qualify the fitting as one of a capital support ship. It is thus as a carrier in almost all occasions useless in a fight. Are there changes planned to equal the carriers? 3) There seems to be a similar issue with the supercarriers; armor tanked ones outweight shield tanked in terms of efficiency. (Sorry if this is a wrong statement, I didn't research that problem any further) Do you intend to work on that issue? 4) Could you add a little bit more trousers and shoes for the character creator? It's all so similar. :) Afterall, will you have the choice of a wardrobe in the captain's quarters (or another place) to change clothes? Because Swedish sounds damn trollish.

Heltrail	Posted - 2011.05.11 20:47:00 - [969] My question to you CCP is the following: I feel that this game does not give me a chance to win. This feeling comes about mostly from the area of pvp, where the side that is able to field more numbers win, that's as simple as it gets. So for me, that I always end up on the small side, or even solo most of the time can never win. One suggestion I have to solve this problem is to introduce line-of-flight for lasers, hybrids and projectiles, in such a way that if a friendly, or drone, or anything else lies between your guns and your targets, it gets the damage and not the target. In this way, if players amass together in blobs, they would have to be really good and deserving of the win, and not simply outnumber. Do you see this, or any other similar mechanic that helps those like me, as a possibility in the near future? If not, what are your suggestions to me?
Calha Nemarr Caldari	Posted - 2011.05.11 21:01:00 - [970] I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell, the planet goo market is a very small portion of the overall EVE economy, and Sovereignty isn't tied to planets. If Dust 514 is going to be centered around planets, what's to fight over? Will we ever see planet based factories and research labs? Are there any plans on making POS slots rentable to the general public? I realize this is enormously complicated, but it's also a long-requested feature. Are there any new contract types planned? I'm sure lottery contracts would be popular, as well as secure contracts involving corporation CEOships and shares.

Pesets The Hunt Club	Posted - 2011.05.11 21:07:00 - [971] In response to GM Lelouch's reply to my earlier question: Yes, in both cases you're providing the ability to remap early, but people usually make a training plan at least a year long when they remap. It is the ability to plan for an override that significantly increases its value. Do you realize that by simply giving one unannounced override to people who had no reason to remap early, you have (unintentionally) failed to provide them with the ability to plan for it and take full advantage of the benefit? The whole problem arises from the fact that, as I understood from CCP's explanation back then, having an "override point" will block you from receiving a normal remap point when you were originally supposed to. Why can't you just increment the available remap counter for each remap performed, starting from one year before that patch, if at least one year has passed since that remap, regardless of whether any remaps are already available? That way, everyone will eventually reach a point when they have two remaps at once and can properly take advantage of such situation. Whether or not it was your intention, you have provided such capability to some, wouldn't it be fairest to provide it to everyone else? (What i'm proposing would not result in accumulating two remap points if you simply don't remap for two years. It would simply ensure that at some point, the "extra" gift point would stack with another point, after which everything will work like it normally does).

I don't expect an answer, honestly, but, thank you in advance if you do. Q1: Is it possible to cry in a pod? Q2: What exactly do care-bear tears look like? Q3: Can you make some of the stars "twinkle" when not warping? Q4: Have we not found buzz lightyear because he's not come back from infinity and beyond? Q5: Can't we just borrow a Jovian and tell him it's 100 years in the future, and lots of the technology's been advanced, and have that Jovian tell kids what the new technology was like and how it worked, secretly gaining information on how to advance current technology? Q6: CCP should make a tv commercial. Has that ever been considered? Q7: What will CCP do if the company surpasses the level of players that are in the games with the largest player-base? (besides drinking on the awesomeness) Q8: Where were you when the towers fell?

Bubba Phet	Posted - 2011.05.12 00:41:00 - [976] I have a serious question. This game is advertised as being a "sandbox" where us as players have a wide open possibility of what we can and want to do. So why is it that when we implement things differently than the devs imagined the rules get rewritten? It kind of reminds me of playing tag in grade school, the rules always changed as they went if it didn't go the way someone wanted.

Diomedes Calypso	Posted - 2011.05.12 02:49:00 - [980] If there were 100% internal consensus to add 50 cpu and 50 power grid capacity to the Brutix ship, could that change be implemented overnight? Would a change like that require a patch? Could you hazard a guess to how many hours of technical person labor it would take to implement it? options) 1) 30 minutes, a content-mechanics developer could just change a Brutix database field himself and send a memo to the customer relations people to announce it? 2) 2 hours .. a programer would need to isolate the working algorithm and change associated lines in a few function 3) 20 hours Programmers would do all this stuff a guy like me with cursury knowledge of this stuff wouldn't guess about. 4) 100 hours.. this would require using 29 people on your staff to use pulley to lift the 30th technician up to the data center's building exterion in London to break in a window and mess with the servers because the doors only open once a month via a time vault lock ? (i hope this question was clearer than another simliar one)
