NotoMM	Posted - 2006.03.22 12:12:00 - [31] I would get rid of NPC ships, crafting of all kinds and make all items non trade able. The only agent missions would be hauling. So if you don't want make your money hauling, you hunt the haulers. I would also have battle arenas where you can win money for winning fights.
Kim Chee	Posted - 2006.03.22 12:43:00 - [32] Make the dev team sit down and fix all the little annoyance bugs right now... before Kali gets any closer. Spit and Polish is always easier early in the day. Buy everyone drinks and try to get Eris to teach me Icelandic. Remove NPC generated goods from the market entirely. You want to buy something, somebody has to build it, or you have to find it in loot. Buy more drinks. Remove copying of bookmarks. If you want an "insta", you need to go make it yourself. To ease the pain a bit, allow more precise warp-in to some objects (like loot cans), based on skills and your ship size. Smaller ships are more accurate. Drinking Level III. Tractor Beam Drones. Drinking Level IV. Reduce basic insurace to 0%.... you pay nothing, you get nothing. Drinking Level V... Advanced Drinking I. Dig out the proof-of-concept planetary landing engine and implement a mock "WoW" game on one of the moons in Jita. Laugh as a night elf colony is wiped out by a mining operation. Did I mention Advanced Drinking II? Spy Sattelites (Drones). Anchor one of these in a system and have it transmit market data and limited sensor data to you. Range would be 1 system per level of training, but you can relay them to extend their range. AD III, IV, and V. By the time I train Advanced Drinking V, I will either know Icelandic, or no longer care. :) <=----=> *Vila Restal: I'm entitled to my opinion. Kerr Avon*: It is your assumption that we are entitled to it as well that is irritating.

Eris Discordia	Posted - 2006.03.22 13:00:00 - [33] Originally by: Kim Chee Buy everyone drinks and try to get Eris to teach me Icelandic. How about I'll teach you to speak dutch first as I can barely say 'My name is Eris' in Icelandic See me here

Kim Chee	Posted - 2006.03.22 13:27:00 - [34] Originally by: Eris Discordia How about I'll teach you to speak dutch first as I can barely say 'My name is Eris' in Icelandic That does make it a bit more challenging. Maybe change all the text in-game to Icelandic. Lots of us would suddenly learn at least a few phrases very well... "A module has run out of charges," and "The asteroid is depleted" come to mind. grin <=----=> *Vila Restal: I'm entitled to my opinion.

GoGo Yubari	Posted - 2006.03.22 13:38:00 - [35] Lifewire's piracy ideas ftw. Capturing pods, jails - hell, yeah. Of course, the jails should be in low sec and your fellow pirate mates should bust you out of there.
Jester87	Posted - 2006.03.22 13:56:00 - [36] Originally by: Avon Originally by: Lifewire Quote: You know, if you move you BS's closer to the gate you could actually do the scrambling yourself. What's that? Too risky? Aw, poor you. Yeahyeah, the blob flamers are up using this funny topic for personal flaming. I probably scrambled more ships than your whole corp lol. I have probably scrambled more ships than my whole corp too. Your point? I used to be a good pirate, and then I moved on. When you reach that point maybe you'll move on too. <3's AVON, remember that time u war dec'd the corp I was in and kicked our butts.. U were a meany back them

Roshan longshot	Posted - 2006.03.22 15:08:00 - [39] Well good thing most of you wont ever be a dev....I can see a building in iceland with fadded "CCP" painted on it, and a for sale sign in the window.

Omatje	Posted - 2006.03.22 15:20:00 - [41] ok let me see: (bear in mind i can only fly minmatar ships and use projectiles as guns so i don exactly know what the fine edges of other ships/guns truly are) - give phoon a 5-7.5% webbingrange and 5% speed bonus and drop the other boni. - make 250/650/1200's track 7.5-10% better. - add 4-5% dmg to the 200mm/425mm/800mm ac's so they have some use to fit. - drop tp boni where they have been added and replace them with bonus for MWD. [wishfull thinking]: - Give Tempest 7th turretslot [/wishfull thinking] sig?
EvilDoomer	Posted - 2006.03.22 15:21:00 - [42] 1. Remove all the useless stupid timers in game which to me as a programmer causes most of the lag. Example to much traffic reroute or wait, must wait to switch ships, combat at gates you cannot jump, dock and undock, undock and cannot redock for 20 sec, talk in chat cannot jump gate, talk in chat cannot dock. These are the real agravationg things to me in eve I would remove all. the agro time at gate removed one of the most fun things in game. THE CHASE!!!!!! As the chaser it sucked, but as the chased it was exciting. 2. Tractor beams should move anything you lock. Physics. You have removed people having alot of fun and the true feature of tractor beaming a ship away from the station cause he keeps docking and undocking. 3. you should be able to ancor a pos anywhere in a system and not just next to a moon. BUT if no moon of coarse no mining. 4. Stations should not be cops. or jump gates. not realistic. Thanks EvilDoomer Chicago Mobsters In-Game Channel:DAMOB
Harisdrop	Posted - 2006.03.22 15:22:00 - [43] Remove Escrow - Have forums and channels where you have people that want to sell actually sell if they dont think the market is good enough. Change the market to show Galaxy>Region>Constellation>Station and its refreshes every hour for new prices and items. The actualy qauntity changes and there might be 0 quanity until the next refresh. I want a batch job so the market is never lagged again. Remove stargates - Have node jumps thru stations When the systems are on the same node you have warp to make it. Concord removed - Probally in Kahli I would remove Concord and your faction standings give you protection. Soo a -2 to 2 your nuetral to the faction soveriengty. NPC corp players can only have frigs.Seems the officers are getting jealous and want to tax 50% all npc and mission rewards. Make a EVEKillboard and remove evemail kills. Place a standing ranking NOW. Based on Corps not players. A total balance sheet. Stockmarket NOW Bounty system overhaul. Contract system Overhaul. EveMusic Player - I love the homegrown stuff but after 3 years of the same thing I need to play my own music and in fleet battles I would rather have UI control. I want reall bulletin boards Like Huge and they are not objects with collision. I should pass thru them JUST LIKE PLANETS. I want to paint my own ship, I dont care what everyone else in the galaxy sees they dont see my ship on fire? I want sounds to be where they exsplode not where my ship is. You work 50 weeks 40 hours a week. Pay is by the hour! -------------------------- I have big balls of Plasma coming out of my guns. Come chat eveteamspeak.com
Uther Doull	Posted - 2006.03.22 15:34:00 - [44] i'd give myself an 'I Win' button and never tell any1 about it... that and a vaga BPO oh and quadruple my attributes :P aren't you glad i'm not a dev? :P

Yeah, when i reach the point to join a bob, sorry blob i will have reached a higher state and become a real man, i know. Nothing like a good laugh to get one's day started.
Bishop 5	Posted - 2006.03.22 16:22:00 - [46] I'd make everything but frigates five times the size they are now... ... and seed a few more of all the t2 BPOs :) -------------
Trac3rt	Posted - 2006.03.22 16:34:00 - [47] 1) I would fix the bug where my chat windows all dissapear every time I login. 2) I would find who was responsible for said bug, and remove their testes. No more is required! ___

No more is required! Trac3rt for head dev, since this is the single most annoying bug I've had in Eve. Sure, we've had more catastrophical bugs, but they haven't been as annoying. My mind also boggles at how long this problem has persisted. If you're one of the players with well over 10 channels open (like moi) at all times, I'm sure you feel the pain.
Deja Thoris	Posted - 2006.03.22 17:14:00 - [50] Originally by: Slaveabuser I would link bounties to clone costs (ie, the bigger your bounty the more purchasing a clone to cover your SP would be.) Being a cynic I desperatly looked for something I could disagree with. I found nothing. If I had to choose one that would be it. The other ideas are all very sensible. I'd scrap learning skills, Penalise wcs on combat setups Increase supply of t2 inline with player number growth (for high demand items) Block feature on escrow Link alts to mains on the character ingo sheet.
Mercade	Posted - 2006.03.22 17:50:00 - [51] I can't fit my list in this post but I've over the years expressed most of them. Real quick though, Haris, wouldn't a show all orders in galaxy part of the market destroyed regionalized economy and thus the entire reason the EVE economy in some manner actually works? I have to disagree with that. If I could do anything though I would do the following: -Make 3 covert ops ships able to replace 3 probes for instant scan locations and increase their sensor range to that of 100AU or add an awacs type ship with same capabilities and no combat. -I would eliminate bookmarks surrounding gates and stations and add Josephine's idea on warp cap. Where you have a 2nd cap, need 50% to warp but the closer to 100% it is the closer you get to your target up to perfect. Two types of scramblers and disruptors would exist, one that eat alot of warp cap rarely and one that eats less more often, to choose between stopping and holding ships. Modules would be added to allow more warp cap (slower recharge for perfect warp but harder to stop warp at all) and a warp cap injector that uses up cargo like normal cap injectors but could be used in an emergency a few times. This would mean that innefecient ships could be tracked down in a few jumps by better fitted traveling ships. -I would add a module that allows you to pursue another ship into warp at it's location it warped to +your set warp to distance, engaging your warp the moment their ship actually warps away. Hi slot item called a warp tunnel hijacker. This module would nullify the need for cap for your warp as you would literally hijack the already formed warp tunnel (same way fighter drones follow, already RP and in game) -I would remove show pilots in space and local listing of who is in system and number of pilots. Add a structure for POS which can fit in a small POS and sweeps the system every 180 seconds updating local "count" for those in standings or settings with that pos faction. So at best local would say 3 when you know of 2 people, thus a recon ship could be used to find out more. -I would remove NPC buy and sell orders from all markets of all tech 1 goods and instead add sell orders of all basic equipment in every station, making basic for NPC's, tech 1 for player produced/mission rewards and tech 2 only player. - I would remove all non named items from NPC drops reducing can clutter and improving time value of traveling to any can that does drop. -I would add a cloaking structure that removes a POS and all ships within a 100km radius from scanning, and a Cloaking deployable that has a 20km radius but a very long deploy and unanchor time, allowing organized, potential to run covert operations that still could be hunted if "suspected" and eliminated just by actually visiting belts/moons. (real recon 4tw) -I would make it so all sovereignty has to begin with a homesystem. All claims have to be adjacent to already sovereign territory. Severed arms of sovereignty can not reproduce more territory but remain sovereign. Making nations actually form and front lines important. Also any system sov with all adjacent sov. Would gain the ability to have it's interior gates armed with guns. Those guns shut down when any adjacent system looses sov. Meaning front lines require defending from invasion, but rampant marauding isn't as easy. This would also allow any system with only 2 gates, to be part of a 3 system sovereignty that could be used to shut down any access through that pipe. Allowing actual trade embargos, economic warfare, siege and other military aspects that involve the full 23 hr game day. -I would make war dec available against any person or corp but for the duration of your war dec you receive no insurance pay out if ANYONE even outside your war party kills you (alllowing hired retribution) the aggressed still keep insurance.

Vang Vorkain	Posted - 2006.03.22 17:54:00 - [52] i would fire everyone! and listen to the majority of players! i would take out pvp exsept in 0.0 space and in corp wars! i would take out instas and put a skill in that lets u warp close! they can do it! you warp to deed space right on top of the dead space gate! gate guns would be all the way down to 0.1 space! and would have a range of 250 km and would allways hit doing 500 dammage! that would stop them gate gankers! concord would be all the way into 0.1 space! just in case we dint take pvp all they way out! and would have and instanc responce when u shoot some one! what ever is in 0.0 space would be in empire space! i see more players in empire space than 0.0 space! so would be doing more for those players than catering to the old! my new players are the money makers not the old! i would re do the bpo lotto! to more of item bying(use your points to buy what u want) just some of my things!
Mercade	Posted - 2006.03.22 18:00:00 - [53] -I would remove the bounty system as it is. Make Bounties something appliable only to -status people. And only during the duration of killrights by the person with killrights. I would also make killrights transferable to anyone with +security status. If you are an upstanding citizen no one can bounty you. If you pirate you can be, and dramatically. Bounties also would pay out as follows when a ship is destroyed, not a pod destroyed. I would make Bounties deduct out of insurance as follows: Bob insures a ship for 9million (cost him 9million to buy, and 3million to insure) He goes into low sec and kills Mary. She has kill rights on him now, she puts a 20million ISK bounty on Bob's head for losing her battleship mining and gives the kill rights to a retribution corp. Bob is found by this corp later the next day and his ship is destroyed, insurance sees he has a bounty and negative status (have to be neg to get bounty) and denies his insurance claim, paying it to the bounty hunter instead until the lowest price is satisfied. In this case he receives no insurance of the 9 he paid for. And is down the 3 he paid to get it. The bounty hunter receives that 9 instead and 11 remains on BOB's bounty. If the person who Killed Bob had -negative status themselves then the insurance would vanish and his bounty would still drop to 11 but no one would get paid, insurance companies don't pay criminals. If Bob tried to hire a friend to get rid of the 11mil bounty remaining by having a friend blow up his ship that costs 11mil insured then his friend would receive 11mil, but bob would still not get his pay out and he would have to use that 11 to replace the ship anyway -minus the cost of insuring therefore impossible to exploit. Noobs would be immunse as you can't bounty a +status person and kill rights would become the commodity of antipirates and true pirates with bounties would be the ones who are truly hated, truly skilled enough to evade death. Bounty would be a thing of prestige, and so would a career of collecting on it. Podding would not be the bounty aspect.

General Tzu	Posted - 2006.03.22 18:19:00 - [54] i would permanently ban the accounts of people who can't stop complaining about the way the game is and play. it's fine the way it is, leave it alone.
