1. Magnetic storms - or some equivalent. There are dozens of hazards in (real) space that could wreak havoc on inter-system travel. What would also make things similar to magnetic storms interesting - a player or corp could use one to some tactical advantage to conceal themselves from predators or prey.
2. Things that no one can explain. Why is it that in the known universe every station, every asteroid field, every NPC, is 'known' and categorized? Part of the excitement of (Internet) space travel is seeing things that no one can explain. A little randomness could go a long way.
3. Ships I can 'add' volume or size to as I increase my mastery or train for new modules. If variants could be built and customized that you can actually 'see' instead of just different guns and 'fittings' that no one ever sees...
4. Paperwork. Yes, paperwork. I want to be able to store/share/steal/sell/destroy 'paperwork' (digital docs) IN the game.
5. Why doesn't my ship require 'fuel' or a fuel cell or something? Something that decays, something that runs out, something I can build and sell or steal, etc. What could be a huge driver of potential conflict and commerce is completely absent.

This is more a F&I thread not GD but meh ....
1. Well they exist in missions, Recon for example. But not in real space.
2. There are of course anomalies and WHs popping up randomly everywhere, not to mention incursions.
3. Well i never look at my ships but yeah I can see some people would like this.
4. Ummh paperwork for what ? PLEX takes teh form of paperwork and you can sure steal that if someoen is silly enough to try and move it around.
5. Cyno ships do need fuel and so do POS and people fight wars over it. Don't forget all your ancillary reppers etc chew through cap charges and nanites. In fact some ships have almost no cargo space left by the time you load the consumables (ammo cap charges etc) that are in game already without adding fuel for subcaps. |

The introduction of wormholes provided some unknowns for a while, so it is something CCP has done in the past.
We currently have a huge unknown about the future where our only certainty is there's no going back. So assuming the path continues as explained so far, new areas of space may be discoverable in the near'ish future.

To be honest, none of my ships ever last long enough to approach anything near an empty fuel tank, but aside from that our ships aren't fueled in a fossil fuel way.
They are fueled in more of a nuclear submarine way, which can last up to 30 years on a single fuel load (not the same way, that's just an analogy).
Given that capsuleer technology was only introduced 11 years ago, even an original ship never destroyed wouldn't be getting close to needing a new power plant at this point (if it ever does need it at some point).

Wormholes were like that upon release. Players were interested in them, so they examined them. Then they explained them.
That is what happens to the unexplained. |

... would love that ships needed "fuel"... and would get endless chuckles watching people run out and crying for "gas" in Local.
Also, the HUD would need a "Fuel Gauge"... with a big, red "E" that blinked like a painful strobe...

You really want to step in a taxi where the driver does it only for the thrills of killing his passengers as messy as possible ?  |

Honestly, the amount of natural steller materials there are in space, the ships we fly could be fueled off them, hell I would be more surprised if they WEREN'T powered off natural stellar gases and materials present in space, certainly saves time and is a renewable and probably far simpler source of power then inventing some stupid reactor that is guarenteed to run out of fuel at some point. |

In EVE time, technology must already exist that allows ships to not need "fuel" in the sense that we think of it.
Current (real life) technology makes a fuel-driven spacecraft impossible, you can't hold enough fuel to go anywhere very far, definitely not out of the solar system. A more realistic option (I use the term "realistic" loosely), is to have solar sails that can also be powered by lasers.
Imagine how crazy (and cool) the ships in EVE would look with massive solar sails. |

Yeah, would be pretty crazy having a solar sail several kilometers in area.
Not to mention acceleration and de-acceleration would be a nightmare. |

Right, much easier for the designers to deal with it as they have done, and just say, "Well, in EVE universe we have ships that don't need refueling or sails or whatever, because the technology in EVE doesn't require those things."
If anyone has a link to any EVE lore that specifically addresses this topic, that would be cool. I'd like to read it. |

I want to be able to build and place a giant statue of myself. Here's how it would work:
-Use the character creator to design your full-body 3d model. Or actually, I'd prefer my statue to be a bust, just like my current avatar.
-Pay 100bil isk to have the model made into a statue.
-Haul your statue to some anchoring site. General POS anchoring rules apply. But you have to have 30 standing with a faction to anchor your statue in empire space.
-Your statue is destructible. Better put POS shields and guns around it and never forget to keep it fueled or it could end up on somebody's KB. |
