Have you ever wondered what would happen if there were a pocket of space in EVE containing untold riches, how would it be found and what you could do with it? Or what would EVE be like if there were natural phenomenon that moved about? Have you wondered why EVE just seemed to have a lot of empty space?
TomB shares some information on a new system of Exploration and what it might bring to EVE. The blog lays out a framework for future content that is just flat out cool. Want in on the exploration of not only EVE, but the development of future content? Give the blog a read and head on back here for comment.

Aaaargh! the Band of Bloggers has done the server in!
mmmmm nice stuff, I hope to see things moving around more, keep things in one place for too long and a small percentage of the player base feels they can stay there, forever denying anyone else a fair cra.ck at it, just because they happen to be able to camp it at the right times.
we'll see how it turns out

Looks interesting. Will be nice to see how this progresses and to see if it gives explorers content to engage them.

Well, since it is acknowledged that this sucks, a fix to existing content would be real nice too. |

I've always been interested in the exploring section of the game.
Does this mean possibilities for space whales btw? =P

Nice tempo to these blogs, keep it up !
As for the blog itself, it indeed sounds very promising, just don't forget to include the non-soloplayer in the fun as well

Off the top of my head, the only concern is that it hopefully will not make training Map Usage 1-5, Advanced Map Usage 1-5 and Uber Duper Advanced Map Usage 1-5 mandatory for everyone in the game to enjoy it.
PS: Tell us what skills we will need before it is released so i can train them to 5 before everyone else does.

Very nice!
Will "some" of this exploration content be in high sec space, or just out in 0.0?
I hope it's planned for EVE-wide, and the "pots of gold" are adjusted according to the area or sec rating. Otherwise it leaves out the exact people your making it for. IE: solo players and non-pvp'ers.
Anyway, it sounds very intriguing to say the least.

Two suggestions.
First, please make some of this explorer-found content paltry and insignificant -- from the perspective of players who've been in the game for a month. I'm talking about some little hidden mini-belt consisting of a Gurista structure of some kind, two Gurista harvesters, and six dinky fiery kernite asteroids. Something I could have looked for in my first Badger-with-a-probe-launcher and conquered/mined in a frigate. The trick is to make it seem like wild wealth to a newbie, but not worth warping to for more experienced players.
Second suggestion: don't go overboard with the temporary/transient nature of explored-for content. Obviously it's got to vanish or be consumed eventually to avoid farming, but it would be neat if some of the content (again, I'm thinking minable stuff) could last long enough to support the "crusty-old-prospector-with-a-mining-laser-and-a-burro" character -- the guy who finds modest wealth in the hidden depth of space, works it secretly and assiduously until it's gone, and then goes looking for the next bonanza. It would suck if there was a use-it-or-lose it dynamic; "I found all these nifty asteroids but all I can do is sell the coordinates to a strip mining corps because they'll be gone tomorrow."

I may be the official keeper of the pirate smilie (my sig says so - it must be true!) but that doesn't mean I'm a pirate.
I get all warm and fluffly when PvE content is announced

Coolio, exploring will be cool again. I used to love going out into space and seeing what I could find but most of the time all you could get is a nackered structure somewhere with a dozen 8K rats orbitting about, and that was in low sec space.
I hope it works out as good as it sounds.

If this isn't in the design plan for Exploration, I think it should be and will see what I can do about its addition. Great ideas!

Yay, something else to do while my corpmates are slacking on some other "game".
Can't hardly wait to see the scanner changes.
This signature is a tribute to the greatest signature of all time.
It's not the greatest signature ever, it's just a... Tribute!! |
