Due to the easiness of skill training the game is already begining to run into the ground.
New players says Eve is dying. |

One thing you say here, I will agree too. And that is as a new guy doing missions, you have to thread the beaten path aimed at doing level 4 in a Battleship.
I remember it oh so well, I thought Assault Frigates were sexy, and Heavy Assault Ships even more so. Then I got an Assault Frigate, what could I do? I was done with level 1 missions, and with Level 2. There was no point doing these, as level 3 were so much better. I could do level 3 in a frigate, but as a new player, the advanced ship was just so much worse doing this than a Battle Cruiser. Same with HACs and level 4 missions. I ended up using my Assault Frigate for hisec belt ratting while I trained up BC skills. And after that BS skills with all the support. Needless to say it took a long time before I was any good in an Assault Frigate. And regarding HACs? Yeah I can fly a HAC if I need to. I never became the HAC specialist I wanted to become when I started out.
This is something I find to be a big design flaw by CCP. That I can't make a living as a new guy if I want to be an AF pilot, and not a BS pilot.
I once proposed that they made new missions. So that the ones we have now would get a bronze star. And the new missions would get a silver star, and were meant for Tech 2 ships. Level 1 silver star mission; you need a ceptor or an Assault Frigate. Maybe put them on par with World Collides or a beefed up version of this mission. They should pay well enough to make you not need to do level 4 bronze missions. Level 2 silver star missionss: meant for HACS. Level 4 silver could be on par with the last Enemies Abound for example, or the Angel Extravaganza bonus room.
If they introduced gold stars it could be missions for groups of a certain ship type.
It's not too late CCP, everybody would love to put their favourite ship to the test. |
