Hmm... ten things I'd love to see in Eve.... Unlike others, I'm gonna do this like an actual top ten list.
10 - Events involving all the factions. Some of them are just never seen, and it's annoying.
9 - More Defensive Strategy Options - Allow the players to fortify a constellation they want and actually keep the enemy out. POS are one thing, but I'd love to see the option in 0.0 deep space of actually laying a claim with sentry guns on the gate, saying "Bugger off, this 'ere system belongs to us." Could be some hardwired response that you can't block region jump points (especially to empire for you who scream balance). It'd be an interesting idea. Maybe have them require fuel and ammo to be onlined, of course they would be destructible, kind of like little stations you can anchor around gates and use defensively. Can't claim sovreignty, require sovreignty to be set up, stuff like that.
8 - T2 Faction Ships - I love the faction ships, especially the Sansha ones (so sexy) but it really feels like you guys went "here's the faction ships, there's not many of them, and you take forever to get them, but have fun" and stopped with one ship in each category for each faction. Some of them are beautiful and unique, like the Blood Raider ships and the Sansha ships, they have their own flavour and fun. I'd love to see more work put into the faction ships... keep with the flavour, but give them bonuses. Sansha assault frigates and the like. I'm not saying put them over the top, but like with other faction ships, one extra bonus like comparing the faction ships to standard ships.
7 - Custom Ship Appearances - I've posted on paint job threads numerous times about the concept. Just making a few customizable skins, making those skins multi-layer to receive different colours, allowing players to tweak the alpha layers so they can have neat pearlescent paintjobs if they want, nothing more nothing less. Allows content control, but also lets the players have their own feel for the ship they fly.
6 - Fixing Instas - there's got to be a better solution... not saying remove bookmarks, they're useful in their own right for things like sectioning belts for mining, but maybe a skill that brings down the warp to distance minimum, it'd be nice.
5 - More Defensive Strategy Solutions - just reiterating that point. Not everybody's some gun-packing pirate, it'd be nice to hang a "No Pirates" sign in a constellation you have sovreignty on, and have it actually respected.
4 - Anti Pirate Alternatives - I'm not saying remove all the risk, but for god's sakes I'd love to sit in my own sector of 0.0, claim it and be left in relative peace. I'm a siege person by nature, Eve doesn't have a siege tactician's solutions to the problem, which would IMO be cyno field on either side, pop when needed to jump a carrier or other cap ship out of constellation for supplies, until then, just blow up the star gate and be done with it. But that's a little too extreme, and I know it, so I know I won't see it. GIVE US SOMETHING BUT HIDING IN EMPIRE.
3 - FIX THE T2 BP LOTTERY - It doesn't have to be BPO's for everybody... but maybe a few BPC's handed out with like... 100 runs on them? too much to ask?
2 - Multi-run Faction Ship BPC's - I know if and when I get such a miracle offer as a Faction ship BP...I'm going to go "damn, do I want to build and keep this or sell it for ludicrous quantities of money?" I'm a fan of the faction ships (go fig, see above) but I'd love to see more of them. As it stands, they're rare and collector's items and they hit Escrow at prices you have to be an eccentric collector to pay for a T1 frigate, especially ones like the CRUOR.
1 - Insurance Proportionate to What you Paid for the Ship!!! - As it stands, insurance is all but foolish if you get anything other than tech 1 standard issue run of the mill warships. Insuring a Wolf is sure as stupid, you pay 15-20 mil, for 1 mil back? no way. FIX IT PLEASE.
