That was a great read. I guess now zerozero has a chance of someday becoming something I'd like to play in.

Wow, that's a whole lot of work you're setting yourselves up for.
I'm pleased to see plans (or pre-plans) of this scope and depth being discussed but to be quite frank, before I spend any effort in making detailed suggestions, I'd like to see some concrete assurance that the resources to implement even a small fraction of what you're talking about here will be made available.
In short: that's some fine looking pie but please can you explain why it's not pie in the sky?

I'd love to move to lowsec after we're done with 0.0. First things first though.

If you wanna move away from structure grinding and towards the PvP aspect of things.
my 'constructive' post...
I was there, in fleet the other day with a few friends and we all started brain storming on ways we'd enjoy sov and the ability to make it less focused on structures and more focused on pvp.
What we came up with were player driven incursions.
You have alot of the code written and to implement it would be pretty cool.
Basically, we've got acceleration gates already that limit ship size. Now when an attacking force launches an incursion, they do so by planting the acceleration gates in systems which deploy a dead-space "flag" that needs to be defended or destroyed.
Each level of the player driven incursion allows for an attacking force to implement larger acceleration gates which would escalate an engagement.
Sov is now defended on a sliding scale (similar to incursions) where disruption happens, not to the level of incursions, but it's something that a defending force definitely wants to take part in and enjoys doing it.
This benefits everyone in null sec in that, when you defend the initial stages of an invasion, smaller alliances who are skilled with small gang warfare can do so and it benefits them.
In terms of resources such as moon-goo and the likes. This will still create reasons and things to fight over so I don't forsee stagnation happening. Rather, making player driven incursions on a sliding scale of who dominates a system and comes out more powerful in the end.
Things like defending the accelleration gates to make sure your fleet can get through to fight for the flag.
Less blob as you'd put a "size" limit (similar to wormholes) on the defending and attacking gates. These structures can be used in a manner like POS's where there's a password which a specific role is necessary to change (config starbase etc.) which keeps in line with the whole fun espionage of EVE.
You still need to "defend" the acceleration gate to get your fleet to the "flag".
By limiting the mass on the gate, you'll see decisions made where "hey, **** ahacs, lets do 200 rifters!"
Meanwhile, the opposing side if decided to do ahacs, would have to fend off 200 rifters with a fleet of something like 20 ahacs. Depending on the skill of the FC's, this could go either way.
EDIT: And in the system where the gates are, there would be different types of fleets fighting to try and kill off the "assault" fleets before they make it to the acceleration gate.
I think one of the components to my post was the sliding scale aspect of it and escalation of the encounter. Possibly I didn't explain the idea behind it much.
Basically, if an attacking alliance can win the first parts of the 'incursion', they would go into a new phase where they can then anchor/online/add larger gates that have greater mass allowances. Maybe they just get upgraded... I really don't know here.
ok, I'm gonna go on a brain storm here.
SBU's are replaced with acceleration gates, incursion style. So the mechanic of 51 percent of the system needs to be covered in order to start the incursion. Similar health, similar deals with these gates.
Ihubs/TCU's are replaced with a deadspace flag in a system that is only reachable by anchorable gates. Sov level determines how many gates a holding alliance can maintain in a system. Gates are anchored in a system as a pos structure (maybe?) outside etc... similar to jump bridges.
I posted more on k.com where I went into how systems are based on "levels"... Level 1 the attacker drops gates that are small forcing small fleet combat and the winner of each round decides if they want to keep upgrading gates or keep em small.
Super cap heavy organizations will want to upgrade, where smaller alliances who are good at small gang warfare can hold with small ships.

Quote: Logistics should be a weakness for larger organizations of players. It should avoid being tedious, but it should remain a major point of concern as size increases, and be one of the primary drawbacks of growing beyond a certain size.
Yet you nerf jumpbridges and therefore everyone ought to use gates and therefore there's no differentiation.
Quote:
For further discussion. The best agents in the game should all be in nullsec, in keeping with the "richest area in the game" theme. There should be a clear margin of value for nullsec agents that acts as an enticement for mission runners to move there.
Except for agents in player 0.0 which is the majority of 0.0.
Quote: Groups running regular small fleets should find it pretty straightforward to move their base of operations. This allows them to "go where the action is", and allows any given part of the cluster to get a much more regular rotation of "local gangs", which in turn should lead to more combat variety for the average player on both sides of the fence (ie roaming groups and defense gangs).
Yet jump bridges got nerfed.
Quote: Smaller fleets should have some avenue via which they can have some impact on larger fleets, without just getting killed. There should be some sensible way to defend against this with some sensible amount of effort on the larger fleet's part. A smaller fleet should not feel that it simply has to run away from a larger one, but neither should it be able to have a disproportionate impact on a larger one.
Perhaps anytime there's a large number of ships in a grid there's some sort of 'gravity' effect that has the effect of pulling them all towards each other. ------------------------ To make a megathron from scratch, you must first invent the eve universe.

so all r&d agents are getting moved to 0.0 also cos other wise its just more pita. not fused about it being in empire or 0.0 as i live in 0.0. just increasing logistics for no real reason isnt what im after. moon mins will have to be redistrbuted as some parts of the map wont have all(tech) the stuff needed. tbh all i see this doing is upsetting empire bears, and making more work for people in 0.0. atm its a short trip to jita and an empire pos. soon will be many trips in empire to collect cores, then many pos's to get all the reactions in 0.0. more work for teh same results, yay

Industry If 0.0 pilots are able to be selv sufficient, it's breaking the greater rules of acting together. That means every modern society depending on global rules of trade. But according to those ideas we are on the way back to the middelages.
I propose a different strategy: Make trade between hostiles in 0.0 possible so that the interconnection between all pilots is visible and has consequences.
Logistics Don't make logistics tedious. It takes more than enough time. We want shoot each other not preparing to shoot each other.

Hi CCP Fallout / Greyscale
To remove permanent marker from a white board, simply scribble over it with a normal board marker - the oils in the board marker will react with the permanent marker "ink" and you'll be able to rub it off with a normal board cleaner, without the need to use special sprays / cleaners.

I read the whole blog. Comprehensive and interesting, but there was only one recurring theme throughout:
"I want my cake and eat it too."
Good luck with that.

Lots of great ideas in the whiteboard blogs, however...
Does CCP have enough resources to actually implement any of them in a reasonable time frame?
Meaning, it's one thing to shift existing game features around (minerals, ice, agents, etc.) but some of the more interesting ideas have that "pie in the sky" aspect that would require serious re-work and would require a lot of follow up tweaks for balance and gameplay.

Hmm Haa.
Well, it all looks very impressive and encouraging, but, like you guys say, it's just a roadmap. It's a good roadmap, but that's only worth so much.
The real test of this will be how much bang for your buck you can get in how short a time. All the cool plans in the world don't mean a trit if nothing ever comes of them. Communication's good. Communication is part of what people want. Just remember that, more than anything, people want to see results.
Here's my advice, skimmed over though it will no doubt be:
Change something core. Something integral. Some vital thing which touches on everything else. Even if its impact is so far reaching you're not even sure if you can accurately judge what its impact will be. Worst comes to the worst you create chaos and alters the game like nothing else. But frankly? That might be just what this game needs right now.
Right now, you need change.

Edited by: Tippia on 15/08/2011 14:12:01 Just one thingà Originally by: CCP Greyscale
- Decisions beat numbers
- It should always be the case that inferior numbers can win with superior decision-making. Large fleets should be much less about who has the most ships and much more about who has the smartest commanders and sub-commanders.
àgood luck. For this to happen, you're going to need to implement a pretty sophisticated damage stacking penalty or equivalent mechanic, so you can actually have to apply your force tactically to get the most out of it. Otherwise, larger numbers = more DPS on target + more HP to chew through, and no amount of smarts will change that simple fact.
There must be a good reason to split your fire so people start doing that, and only then can it become a matter of how to split it intelligently. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡ you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki

Edited by: kano donn on 15/08/2011 14:25:44 Most excellent. I love this new direction.
edit: This is completely off topic but to remove permanent marker really easily. Take your dry erase marker, color over the permanent entirely. Then when you erase it, it will come off. Try it, works wonders. |

Edited by: kdsjfjhiskhfs on 15/08/2011 14:51:45 I hope you will consult your drug visions with your CFO, because these changes will destroy all alt industry (manufacturing) corps which are located in hi sec. When you will implement these changes from my point of view I will pay you 180 eur instead of 2120 per year - this will mades your CFO very sad. Because I will cancel 7 of 8 my accounts which makes ISKs for 8th account which is pvp toon.
