I have some questions regarding the mini-game used in the Relic/Data sites under the new exploration mechanics released in Odyssey. I am rather curious to see if there is a on-going effort to provide more of these games, or if this was a "try once and forget" idea:
- Question 1: Who (which group) developed the mini-game we currently have for Relic and Data sites?
- Question 2: How many different types of games were concieved and partially developed before deciding on the current one?
- Question 3: Are there plans to developing the previously concieved games for use in some of Eve Online's current (or future) activities. For example, I see an opportunity for the mini-game when setting up the Siphon on a POS.
Thank you to whoever answers this.

They have looked at mini-games for mining. One I saw a demo of had the mining laser kick out ore. You guided a collection beam to get the ore. Or, you just left it centered and got about half the yield. That way active miners would get more than inactive miners, but the play style of a player that just wanted to kick back and watch TV while mining (or the multi-boxers) would still be viable.

They also said they were planning to expand on the hacking game, possibly making the stuff you get during the game useable in other sites, I can see shielding bonus mods becoming very high in demand, making this an even more interesting setup.

Yeah, I can think of several things where adding a mini-game would definately give the game a bit of character to it.
Mining - It's a boring task, but having done some mining, I know it is nice to have a semi-afk task in Eve where you can feel somewhat productive. Still, I would think that a mini-game here that would give the player a boost to what is mined would be pretty cool.
Siphons - I think this is a place where Hacking skills and a mini-game should determine how efficient the Siphon is, or how detectable (either-or, not both) the Siphon is.
PI, Manufacturing, etc. I know there are some good ideas floating around in CCP, would be nice to see if they have actual plans above just wishing and hoping.

The mini game is ****, I hope it dies in a fire. I certainly don't want it expanded to other parts of the game as it spoiled exploration for me.
The way ccp are going they wont be happy until they've simplified every aspect of the game and replaced character skills with player skills and dumbed down the game to the point we can play it on a console with a game pad with our 'spaceship piloting' skill.
Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction... |

Thank you to whoever answers this.
1. The whole thing came onto Team Prototyping Rocks when we were just three developers with a very limited amount of time before the Odyssey release. We were basically tasked by CCP Seagull to create new content in the exploration sites. I concepted and developed the Hacking minigame. CCP Prime (who has since left to pastures new) took the scattering mechanic we had in some mining prototypes and bought it into EVE. Later we were joined by CCP Soundwave, CCP Affinity, CCP Arrow and CCP Optimal.
2. I worked collaboratively with a few other people on the concepting (CCP RedDawn, CCP Tallest, CCP SoniClover) the general ideas we had were similar and we created most of the prototypes as card games.
3. There is definitely desire to move the Hacking, sans the Scattering mechanic into new places and to deepen the gameplay involved in Hacking. I and other people have a whole bunch of stuff we want to implement further but it's a case of us not being the people who decide project priorities. As part of that in this release I've made it possible for content creators to make most in game entities hackable.
We also have a bunch of ideas on how to make mining more interactive for people that want it to be more interesting and I spoke about them at the last Fanfest:

The loot scattering mechanic maybe wasn't that bad as a concept, but its replayable value is zill and I don't think that nobody is going to miss seeing it elsewhere.

Thanks CCP Bayesian for responding, I appreciate it. It is pretty interesting that you started the prototypes as card games. That kinda reminds me of how Diplomacy was handled in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, which I found to be pretty cool. I don't suppose that there will be anything released for Rubicon, but how about any plans for the next expansion?

Forgive me, Shederov Blood, I know that I, Orakkus, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

Have you ever been a part of a creative or business development process? The whole point is to come up with different iterations to improve upon. there is nothing convenient about it. the whole damn game is nothing but a huge development effort with multiple iterations.
