I would like to see some offerings for the older explorers who have the feeling that exploration is dead.
I would like to see sites in the 200-300 au range from orbital bodies. Ones that have a sig% of .05 and smaller. Ones that require lvl % skills to lock onto.
I would like to see broken stargates that you can find and have to bookmark and then go exploring around to find the missing parts.
Once you find all the missing pieces, you can go back to the stargate location and with skills, repair it and be the first to jump into a new system.....even be able to name it, claim it etc.....
There is so much that can be done with exploration aside from the lame minigame and the endless clickety click click. |

As much as you will all hate this...
This is all from a PVE point of view.
The idea of stargates and new systems is to expand the current New Eden space. Putting new content on the maps. They would lead to other space that upon claiming sov would become known space.
There may be a broken gate in another system that your new one leads too making it unable to activate....maybe have a message that reads to the effect - "Although this gate does lead to a system in an adjacent constellation, it cannot function while the receiving gate in inoperable."
That would let you know without too much information that you are at least within a constellations distance.
I don't like the idea of expanding on wormspace since wormholes are a natural phenomenum that cannot currently be reproduced in EVE technology....If they could reproduce a wormhole, they would simply make a wormhole to lead them back to their origins. (Following the EVE history a bit)
Wormspace is fine as it is. More than 70% of EVE space is either l-sec or null in effect.
PVE players are barely able to survive in h-sec as it is with gankers, scammers, bounty, war-decs, loopholes, etc......
I would like to think there is a place for them somewhere in game. |

I have been getting the same results all over. People really like the idea.
How do we make an impression on CCP to include some exploration in thier exploration releases?
Please let your friends and corpmates know that you like the idea and paste them a link to this thread so we can turn up the awareness in the forum.

There is a lot of focus on worm space and this thread is not about worm space.
I would like to see empire space expanded or completely new DED type pockets be what these stargates lead too.
I am for the idea of arenas and I am still pissed about the removal of static sites in h-sec..........another topic entirely.
I hated site farmers/campers....I wanted the sites to not respawn unless they were VACANT for at least a short period of time.
I understand the value of the PVP perspective in static sites and I can see potential in finding a place that people can PVP in and over.
Worm space is in my opinion perfect as it is and there should be no changes to the worm space/wormhole mechanics.

[quote=Ubat Batuk]Data sites are very difficult to find...
The idea I had in mind would reuire not only lvl % skills across the board for scanning and such but may require implants to get a solid lock.......or at least having to maneuver your ship and probes in some form closer to the old way. Something that shows people actually understand the mechanics of it.
I would intend this to be content that people would have to train fully for. That can equalize the pains felt by all the full time older explorers.
It will give other explorers something to work toward.
I have no intention of 'flaming' you or anyone else. : )
Exploration went from a career as it had always been promoted to be.....to being a silly newbie game with no challenge or real payout.

Thank You All for your posts.
I feel good knowing that I am not the only one who enjoys this aspect of the game.
I hope CCP realizes the need to provide something more for the highly skilled explorers.
Something that others who are now enjoying exploration can aspire to do with full training time. |

None of the ideas apparently matter to CCP because they do not appear to read these posts.
It is all a lost cause anyway. I give up.
They have managed to completely break the entire exploration system beyond repair at this point.
To hell with all of it.

HOLY **** they may have actually fixed it.
It only took a week and they have absolutely no idea how to communicate with anyone but what the hell...they seem to have fixed the bigger issues for now.
They must have brought in some outside assistance or asked a couple explorers what to do.....lol
