I've recently started getting into PI stuff after many years of totally just ignoring the feature. I tried it once and it was just so confusing at the time that I just never picked it back up until recently. I discovered that I rather enjoy it, and once you figure it out, its actually a very interesting process, but im sad. I've built on the max amount of planets, built the max amount of structures and even though my PI skills are nearly maxed now, I have nothing left to build except to just watch my planets continue to furnish me with resources.... So, whats next????
I know, theres always the problem with balancing and not trying to destroy the market with the flooding of resources, but lets please improve this feature the potential here is ENORMOUS!
Allow me to continue to pour millions upon millions of isk into my planets as I build more and more extractors, facilities, storages. Allow me to continue to upgrade my command centers so that I can build these facilities. By all means allow the ISK to upgrade CC's scale dramatically the higher levels you go, but allow me to continue building!!
PI is an amazing feature, it is something I can see with all the new cell phone technology becoming apart of some cell phone Eve App. Controlling your planets from your cell phone!?! OMG, its possible! I know it is.
There needs to be more going on for PI though. Lets manufacture alot more things, manufacturing is so tedious think of the beniefits of allowing manufactures to establish planet laboratories to automatically build components for modules or even ships after some investment of time and isk in developing the colony!?
Think of how involved managing a planet can become. Think of the possibiliites of allowing players to invest BILLIONS of isk into a planet to be able to set up COMPLETE planet manufacturing colonies and how valuable control over those Customs offices will become? This is what will cause wars, bloody ones over Customs Offices on a scale comparable to Tech Moons of the past, except with the coming Customs Offices changes of high sec the wars will be even MORE widespread.
The potential is there to do some pretty amazing things with PI and I would hate to see this feature totally neglected.
The commodities that can be developed, the courier contracts that can be established, importing and exporting, even player created missions for planets... Endless POTENTIAL!
How miners importing ore to a planet because the planet has a mission setup by the "Colony Manager" to aquire 50 million m3 of veldspar can be involved?? Or explorers importing electronic parts from that salvage site he did 5 systems away, can be involved, how pilots that only want to haul can be involved!
PI can one day be in its own right its own game. A game more directly invovled with the Eve community than DUST is today, and it can be so right now. A game never before of its kind interacting with a much larger universe. Sim City fans from all over will be anxious to become apart of the Eve universe to start their own colonies!! LoL
(sorry about wall of text)
Parting words...
CCP lets not forget as the expansions continue to be developed that PI has tremendous potential. Adding a little bit here and there can only increase the overall gameplay of those not only currently involved with PI but for nearly everyone including the pilots that will also soon be fighting over those customs offices that is the only gateway for those resources reaching the rest of the universe.
If nothing else! Please, please, please..... Let me build more on my planets!
