Agree with most of the stuff BUT the one where you imply it d be good to slow traffic down-
Yes, the Eve- galaxy IS huge.
YES - its seemingly not that large as most of us do business within a cloud of maybe 90 core solarsystems.
NO; we do NOT need to have what happened already AGAIN.
Namely slowdown and longer travel times--that happened about a year ago and maybe it was really needed.
Its not good to make travel times yet even longer;
Eve is a game around teamplay. This includes also one team against another.
To assemble and have meet up all members of a team takes incredible long until you can get started.
Hunting in a complex or even asking ppl 13 jumps away for help in a lvl 4 mission takes them up to 90 minutes until they arrive.
Granted, the 13 jumps may only take that BS coming to aid 25 minutes, but IF it has to fit, find some modules and all that things quickly get delayed.
Why ? BEcause one has to jump back and forth to get modules, ammo, etc.
NOW - imagine two teams doing this -- to have a fight over something.. Lots of time gets lost. This IS a game after all, so it should not be 90 % travel time 10 % fun.
Travel times are fine as they are - sorta.
The REST - the POS idea to be able to somehow make a difference in space by establishing structures and getting intel on a sys are quite nice.
EVE is slowly going towards the black hole that all MMORPGs get sucked in - so far the Devs have managed to avoid the drag, hopefully non one in management will decide to cash in on the "average" player by making all too easy.
MAke it more complex on the high end for your loyal long time vet playerbase, while keeping the low end open for any new players that want a enthralling, clever cunning and complex game opposed to the run of the mill MMORPG games dieing out there.
Give long time players like Marc something to stay in the game and add to it. MUDs used to allow accomplished long time players even add elements by themselves.
Give us vets the means to model part of Eve's landacape.
Cheers,
IOI
