mmm interesting directions and im sure a lot of stuff will be altered due to suggestions and other issues and discussions before kali comes in. These are grand organisational statements (some very good ones) i guess it comes down to a lack of development staff due to the low profit margins at present (RL business needs to have its priorities after all) all in all at least we are getting RMR (mining boost is very much welcome) tractor beams outdoing scavenger drones at present (probably a good idea but what happens if 2 tractors are put on an object at once - will there be relative strengths related to skills etc.
This will fit in with ore theif (can theif) marking in some way.
Well looking ok so far just going to sit back keep the discussions going and see where we go

What about the opening of jove space is there a timeline for bringing the old guys of eve into the game in proper systems - missions and ships as well as backstory and many other aspects ?

No one even asked about this, Jove space is just more space that we don't need. I would bet we're not going to see it anytime soon.

To open jove space is not as simple as it sounds. Sure in concept its a case of adding gates. But what about:
- Market Seeding
- Sec Status changes
- Addition of NPC fleets
- NPC Convoys
- Adding roid belts (Yes, there are none in jove space supposedly for obvious reasons)
- Working out a sec status map (To help ore distribution)
- Either making a pirate faction specific to the Jove, or picking a current one to populate the area that is low sec
Also, the current justification behind Jove Tech (Ships/weapons) not being available to the player base is simply because the jove do not like outside contact lately, and do not share their technology. The easiest way to do this story wise is to simply say they sealed off their space. If it suddenly opens, that justification would be close to meaningless.
And as was said above, it is space we don't need. And I kind of like the mystery in life. A bit like the Soviet Iron Curtain in the Cold War. (The one after WWII in real life, not the current eve expansion)

Hey guys, great things look to be coming on the horizon. My only question. Will us Tranquility players be able to use the Chinese Server? IE will it come up when we click the drop-down menu "sisi - tranquility-serenity", or will serenity somehow be disabled for us.
I also speak/read chinese, and would like to be able to pop onto serenity from time to time. If this is possible, will it be possible to train skills on both serenity and tranquility?
Thank you, and I hope this can be made available to us. I would understand if it wasnt, as then Asian players would come to our server, and set up their macro etc operations on Tranquility.
That is another question. On the chinese server, you are allowing the sale of in-game items for real cash (as far as the blog is concerned). Does this mean CCP will also allow macro mining and the like over there? It kinda seems like this chinese server is going to get its own EULA there (and it will be a lot smaller than ours). 
Thanks in advance
Edit: Sorry, read all but the last page, and of course, someone asked the same question there. But yeh, I have read the whole thread now

Please explain the "cultural" aspect of Chinese E-Baying...
Are you saying that the Chinese players may use E-Bay, but Western players cannot..or we can if we only sell to the Chinese...
To allow E-bay selling will ruin the game...I can't believe you are going to allow it and say it is "cultural".
People want cash and it has nothing to do with culture.
Please say this isn't true guys...
I don't think "English" E-Bay covers the Chinese mainland, and neither does Paypal. The Chinese mainland have their own online markets which you won't be able to read.
E-Bay has their own China-Asian market version (http://www.ebay.com.cn).
Looking at the English E-Bay and at the Eve-Online sellers there, I see a lot are based in the good old Canada, United Kingdom and the United States.
I checked Ebay China and typed Eve-Online on the search. A few items came up maybe about 10 to 20 lines or so, not like the 11 whole pages in the english Ebay right now. Most of the few EVE items selling in Ebay China now appears to come from someone in the United Kingdom.
With the seperation of Serenity and Tranquility, I don't think items are transferrable between the two. And if Serenity players want to do their ebay business, they would do it in Ebay China which you won't be able to read either.

They said nothing prevents it but the technology at hand today. The whole point of going there is so that the Chinese people can have a good connection rate because trying to connect to the server in London from there would be bad and visa versa. But I don't know about the connection quality from the US. But yeah, it will be possible.
Uh no that's rubbish. Im playing from Australia on *dial up*, I know people who play from China and Taiwan. Distance has nothing to do with it. EVE isn't a FPS, it's built to handle lag.
CCP says the problem is that most chinese cities have poor links to the outside world, but good links to the larger cities. Which is of course the result of the Chinese government trying to censor the internet.

OMG the RMR screen looks nice. Much beter name than Cold War too
However, I'll say it again - the can flagging WILL let me go out and kill 1-day n00bs. I'll do it to prove it's a grief tool, if necessary. (I'll reimburse the n00bs, yea, but..)
PS, still MUCH against armour plate and shield extender nerfs. Revert the plates to pre-boost the leave the extenders exactly as they are now (or revert HALF their boost). Armour plates were heavily used before - they were NOT broken. A speed nerf makes using them with a MWD suicidal thanks to the sig bloom (which is the same regardless of speed) and extenders are plain suicidal.

If someone already posted this im sorry, I don't have time to read 4 pages of posts right now.
Are the devs looking into any changes in the 0.0 local system for RMR? I've seen a few posts about it before but im still not sure about dev stance on this (well besides Oveurs and i think Kierons).

Eye for an Eye, interesting.
Pirates just had their lives get a lot more interesting.
Quote:
Eye for an Eye is a new system, which allows you to revenge the podding of your character if it happens under unlawful circumstances, such as in empire and not at war. You get a time limited contract, most likely a month, to revenge your death.
Just out of curiosity, would it be possible to make these 'contracts' tradeable? Single-copy items that give the bearer permission to attack/pod the offending charachter? This would make bounty hunting a possible buisness, hunting down targets with huge bounties by buying their contracts off of the people they kill.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the oth |

very good idea ie having those that attack u get a contract which can then be traded onto a bounty hunter screen. Would it be ship or pod kill however ?
as for the other idea the plates well i agree partly. Dont nerf em as much as u are going to
well as for theiving ore cans what about pirates that kill u - u drop a can with youre modules whoever picks that up then becomes an open target allowing players that get attacked at gates to hunt down that pirate perhaps when they are moving around in a shuttle and boom one time kill without concord involvement (sounds like a good idea)

When will player alliances be able to contest NPC sovereign space? For example in Outer Ring where ORE claims the whole region, even where it doesnt have stations.

we have 4 types of regions
High sec empire
Low sec empire
0.0 unclaimed (alliances) for the PVP types
Then 0.0 NPC for players who want access to 0.0 without having to be in an alliance - alliances still control those regions but there are pirate factions etc that need accomodating agents that need to be out there - then further out u have regions like delve that have 0.0 NPC stations and the remainin systems (most of em open for POS soverigenty etc)
I think that the game works well - perhaps adding more new systems across the above 4 spectrums (tie to events as empires explore new star systems) - this would be non jove however. New amarr settlements perhaps intaki find some new systems tie up stargates and set out to build stations and terrerforming for planetary populations ?

The new mining enhancments sound nice - but they miss one big issue - you may be able to mine faster, but hauling will be just as slow/painful. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can you make the larger transport ship for each race bigger! Say a 10 x Hold space???

I wonder what the interdictors will look that, given the caldari ship style for the destroyers and battlecruisers,
this might not seem that excessive.
On a more serious point. I am getting concerned that with all the content added with Cold war, and what appears to be coming in RMR what is going to be left for Kali?

Again, you don't understand the kind of damage it does to a game where the rampant selling of in game money for out of game money causes mas inflation in the market model.
Utter nonsense. The only valid argument against this is that it provides an OOG advantage to those who have plenty of money in RL. However I even disagree with that as no-one seems to give a damn about the advantage those with plenty of time on their hands have over the average working gamer with an active life.

Ref: The Chinese servers
Question
Will U.S people be able to play on Serenity? I'm more then two years behind many of the original players and might want to take up the opportunity to start fresh and competitive rather then getting blown or hunted down and blown up or chased off in Low Sec space for mining hi-val mats.
Comments
They ain't kidding about Asians selling items for $$$, but it's not cultural really. What it is is very difficult to control and beings that it's taking place in a far away place in a far away language makes it even moreso.
They also will wring out exploits left and right. Again not cultural, they just are super competitive in their mmorpg.
They also will form very tight very organized structures and they will keep the pressure up. If they came to tranquility enmasse, the Asian Clique would be ruling the prime regions with iron fists.
They will have real life partnerships where they farm spawns day and night and rake in ISK ergo $$$ doing so.
Suggestions
CCP should undermine Ebay. They should have an offline auction system for ingame items for in game ISK only. Perhaps some systems interspersed within each region of empire space only, where items have to be escrowed for offline auctions, and can only be bought there and delivered there. Then let the people launder their ISK into real $$$ on ebay. Who cares and why. Ya can't be powerleved with it. Heck, CCP can charge $1 extra per month for this ability -- that safe guarantees off trades.
Allow account sales at the in game auction place, but the toon goes into escrow and can't be played until sold or auction canceled or no bid. Heck, lets turn toons into book marks, or contracts corporations can sell.
first off, i find it funny that ccp is not suewing over sales of mods/isk on ebay. it should be ilegal for ebay too even host ccp goods. i find this fishy on there part. seems like maybe some inside people are maybe cashing in on this. soon players wont beable too buy mods on eve but only on ebay if this keeps up. when this happends eve is finnished as a real game. true gammers realy hate this ebay ****.
a game is not a job too make money off of as a gammer, its a form of relaxing and injoyment, but i would say not if it cost too much too lose anything then it just becoums a pain in the ass.
second, i would like too see new servers set up in china/canada/us with a fresh start but i bet we wont becuse alot of players would leave the euro servers just too be on a even playing ground again in eve. i miss the past for that with eve. this game is getting way out of wack now vs the old farts who can do most anything in the game vs others who are a long way off from doing the same. for the most part i have not been playing eve do too 75% of the time having too take on players who cant compet aginst the older players witch is what you have to do in order too live in 00 systems. its a sin realy..
ill be back too eve soon but for now im too bizy out west.. this game just takes too long too get anything done. its a game too play when you got alot of time with no life then you can play all you wont.
their will be players ****ting there paints when i get back too eve.. OffBeaT just keeps getting stronger & stronger he got nothing better too do for now. i wonder how many of them mOo players on my list will still be around then..

And a year after that, how about a server reset so that everybody's back on the same footing again??? What you propose doesn't help this aledged 'problem' - you or somebody else will whinge about it some time after this fresh start of yours. You can't possibly hope to make everybody the same, there will always be somebody that's way newer than you.

i am one of the stronger players in eve. this guy is over 2 years old. when i stand up for the weaker players its becose i dont wont too beable too kick there ass in secounds. i wont them too have a far fighting chance. in the old eve days befor your time that is how it was. newer players didnt need a billon skill points too stand there ground like today in eve. they could use real skill in the game and have enough lee-way too be enventive. it is the old farts who do the crying in eve becose they dont wont the weak too be crafty enough too win one maybe, so now we have it that newer players who befor could jam/tank and acutly hit somthing they where shoting at cant now well or they just cant put togather a good fighting ship anymore like the good old days. this is not a d&d game where you through the dice and what rolls up is your move. this game should be and stay a random game of skill where players have the ability of being crafty/inventive with the ability of choses.. this IS a game of skill is it not, or IS it a game of skills & only abilitys your points allow too do? i dont wont evryone too be the same. i do however wont them too compet well or be of use as a corp member of mine. i dont have a year for my corp too servive out here while i wait for these noobs too beable too stand. we would always go broke replaceing our ships/mods/anything. eve is getting too expencive for this **** too players and it mostly the 6 to 12 month players who have too swallo it.. sorry for my spelling dont got time too fix it up..
