I was wondering how people would feel about solar harvesting... it certainly would finally give a reason to actually fly to the each systems star... not sure what product you could get from the sun but im sure someone could think of some useful item to get from the sun... i think that would be such a simple addition to the game... that could be a small update. a couple skills, a couple modules, some items, and a ship, could introduce that element into the game... |

i like that idea.. besides having great bbq party stations we could be harvesting some kind of energy for POS or allow POS building without the need for fuel since they could easily run of the solar energy emitted from the sun |

You could maybe have a solar harvesting ship, which has a sort of harvesting tiage mode, deploys some sort of solar panels to capture the energy.. I like the POS energy idea maybe it could run the planet buildings? |

It would be a bot haven.
The sun's in EVE don't deplete, so theoretically you could harvest afk for 23/7. That would be bad. |

Think of a way of countering the bot make the ship need something every 5 cycles, make the Sun have a chance of solar flair which gives you so long to leave or you take damage, a maybe the solar flair lasts for a random time which makes 23/7 impossible. Just ideas.. |

Not sure what product? Cap booster charges don't immediately come to mind? |

I dunno, maybe an ecm burst Can be changed and needs an elecrical charge to fire But make the AOE bigger so worth having.. Cap boosters is another good idea. Instead of boosters, have a cap booster batterys which can be charged up in station... |

I second this rather than harvest energy you could harvest the solar winds. Different star classes for different isotopes. Hydrogen from hot new stars helium from red giants etc.
Solar flares are a good anti bot solution I think. Make them drain cap and do enviromental damage or something similar. Better yet make them cause gravitational whirlpools you have to fly out of or you get pulled into the star. Could make an exciting area to pvp too. |

Bot software is advanced enough that it can easily react to these kinds of things. Ratting bots, for example, react to what is happening in Local, will pick up only certain items from rat wrecks, and will also warp out when they take too much damage from the rats. Etc.
So, when developing ideas (and sun harvesting is a cool idea), just focus on what would be awesome, fun, and will add something interesting to Eve. Don't worry about the bots. Let CCP Sreegs worry about the bots instead. GÖÑ It's not you guys who need to repair what has been broken, it's us. CCP Wrangler |

I fully agree Andrea I was just making suggestions. =] I suppose you could have a ship that could draw energy from the Sun and distribute it to other fleet ships as cap. But the ship has to be on grid and maybe ina certain mode to do it. Or as an add on to heat, made doing mining ops the solar ship Increases the speed of mining modules etc.. |
