Reading all the insta and bookmark threads i believe it is time to create a PvP shard. Just give us 1 node at first, only 1 region if needed (all the rest unexplored) with the good old settings back from beta.
- region chat, only show up when you speak - bookmarks fixed to anchored objects (containers, stations, gates, asteroids, ...) - anchoring skill limits the amount of containers you can anchor - persistent ships (when you disconnect you get autowarp, when you do a clean logoff you stay where you were. - no 0.0 NPC stations - faction standings mean something everywhere. Gallente start with -5 on caldari and vice versa. Standing affects docking rights/fees, rights to use station facilities, being shot by navy. - new characters get the sec status of the deleted character of that player slot (prevent recycling suicide gankers) - only 1 alt in space at a time. (one of your 3 characters is in space or not inside a POS shield? then you cannot undock or leave a POS shield the other 2 characters¦ - no insurance when you initiate combat and you die during aggression timer - get the old NPC spawns back, ie: a mix of battleships, cruisers and frigs, especially those that scrambled NPCing is just braindead simple on tranq. - no instant warp when already aligned. Introduce a calibration timer that is affected by agility (so nothing changes for ships standing still). A ship warps when its aligned and calibrated. Ships already aligned will still need to calibrate before warping - split the dual bonus modules such as tracking computers and sensor boosters - 5% of armor damage can only be repaired inside a station (you get hit for 100 damage, 5 of those damage get a special flag so that it doesn't get repaired.) - hull damage progresses downwards. 99% hull left will over time go to 98%, then 97%. The lower your current hull, the faster it goes down. A hull repairer or damage control reduces the rate it goes down. It can only be fixed at a station or a special POS module.
Some of these things used to be in there but got nerfed away in favour of the carebears, other things are new which i think will make it a more interesting pvp game.
As for the creating an extra shard will ruin the game, I don't think it will in this case, since all other examples are creating a non-pvp shard, here i do want a pvp shard since tranquility is getting more non-pvp by the minute
PS: carebears don't bother to reply since this is not meant for you, you already got tranquility that you are ruining.

not this again.
If you want PvP, go to lowsec/0.0/hunt wartargets and go shoot them.
Seriously, if you want a dedicated zone for PvP, you'd just basically made EVE like all the other cookie-cutter MMO's out there (including *EWWW* WoW), which is definately not what CCP wants to do with EVE.
EVE is meant to be a gameworld, and as such as a virtual world, if you want something done, do it yourself. Go organize your own arena, see if people will like it.
Oh and FYI, I like the idea of being possibly ganked/will gank someone without me/them knowing and thus, not being prepared. Its what CCP wants, as real as EVE can get, including the risks in less savory areas of town, like IRL.

99% of the market is player driven, only pvp, no carebears, no carebears, no market.. no market, no pvp.

Edited by: Rodj Blake on 01/09/2006 10:40:40 Eve is already a PvP shard.
Or, if your plan is to have only PvP on a new shard, why have any npcs?
Quote: get the old NPC spawns back, ie: a mix of battleships, cruisers and frigs, especially those that scrambled NPCing is just braindead simple on tranq.
Seems out of place in a PvP shard to me.
Splitting Eve into non-PvP and PvP shards would kill Eve.

Please don't. Save your resources to give me an ego stroking 'James Lyrus is great' shard. Just me able to login, so I can be the ruler of the EVE universe, and pretend you are all my peons.
I mean, it's not so different to the real EVE universe after all, so it'd only be a minor change.

how much time did you invest thinking about this ****? 10 seconds?
Originally by: Dukath - persistent ships (when you disconnect you get autowarp, when you do a clean logoff you stay where you were.
how can the server know what made me disconnect? what stops me from just pulling the network cable instead of clicking ctrl-q? or typing adsl-stop?
Originally by: Dukath - no 0.0 NPC stations
which pvper would want to run POS, fuel em, shoot them....?!? make the redock timer after undocking and the timer after deagressing 10 minutes. 99% of problems with npc stations fixed.
Originally by: Dukath - faction standings mean something everywhere. Gallente start with -5 on caldari and vice versa. Standing affects docking rights/fees, rights to use station facilities, being shot by navy.
pvp server != role play server
Originally by: Dukath - only 1 alt in space at a time. (one of your 3 characters is in space or not inside a POS shield? then you cannot undock or leave a POS shield the other 2 characters¦
how is CCP/the_server supposed to find out if those other 2 chars are my brothers/mates or me?!?

when do people realize , when you don't like the game as it is ? don't flame the forums for a perfect game to a lot of us , but go and buy yourself some borland c++ and i'll see ya in a few years.
and yes in the meanwhile pls play all the other mmo's out there that looks all the same but only with other skinns and names for skills and grind stuff...
eve stands out with their community and all us pvp'ers are proud of it ... high sec i don't care , low sec and 0.0 is still the bomb with pvp
if you think pvp isn't out there come visit the church u muppet , were very happy to "retrieve" some donations out of ya
forums of normal mmo's can be whine-forums pls let the eve forum for the major good people that like playing games and like the way that ccp actually build the game intentionally !

okay lets reply then on a decent way you alt ....
why pvp in a section away from the rest of eve ? eve is a regional game , and that means that everyone is affected by wars from 0.0 regional wars in empire with wars or anything thats just coming up
what dukath want is a seperate pvp section and that means just like in wow a battleground
i said in wow ( when battlegrounds came up ) if i want to play unreal tournament with capture the flag i'll play unreal tournament ( oldskool )
[ don't flame me that i tried wow yes , ran straight back though ]
so its the same here , if i want to battle some pvp i'll play a shooter or some other game that doesn't have wat it takes but just blowing stuff up for fun...
in eve you have to earn your pvp status and your pvp stuff, if you can't deal with that kind of adrenaline, pls go back to some FPS were your hearth won't have a stroke every 14 seconds ! ( yes i'm addicted to it )
seperate grounds equals just some fps lookalike game go find yourself some FPS instead or whine in a battleground in wow :D
thats why everyone is flaming here, its just the same only your so carebear you don't even realize it

Well if Captain Logic-slash-Dukath would be a little less obtuse in making their point, perhaps the flames wouldn't rise so high.
As for changing settings on a single node or region, you defeat the entire "one universe" that EVE is.
Your idea blows chunks, tbh , and I'm not usually that harsh about others postings.
Adapt and overcome, or go do something else. You don't like the way things are, well oh shucks, and as someone else mentioned, c++ and a few years down the road and perhaps you'll have your own forums where users ride the waaaambulance about your own game. ----- ------------

Have you ever tried to catch someone and force them to 1 vs 1 or even 2 or 3 vs 1 you. Its rediculously hard to do unless they totally overpoweringly can smack you down.
Hell I have even suicided a few times just to actually get a fight.

Nah,
Simper solution.
1) Make armour repairers consume 1 unit of tritanium for each HP repaired.
2) Make stationary objects move some 1000km each downtime
3) Make closest jump in point to 100km.

Yippie, all for it..
A pvp shard means a non pvp shard as well..
Finally I can mine krokite in peace, now worriez about getting killed. Can we leave the NPC's out as well. Get a whole new mining shard.
Next week I wanna NPC, can we have an endless stream of NPC's lining up with every 30th spawn a officer and every 300 an estamel or whatever they are called.
Two weeks later I wanna do some marketing stuff, thats an easy shard, only stations needed, no space anymore.
Maybe introduce new clonejumps so u can jump from 1 shard to another and adjust ur implants to what u are doing. Of course this needs a new set of implants, market orientated.
I really like this idea, maybe it will make Kali III.
Endless extensions possible as well, Kali IV could introduce a chatting shard. Imagine the possibility's, u don't need to do mining, ratting, pvp, sell and buy orders, research crap. Just nicely chatting away about the next shard to be introduced.
Going a little on, blabla, kali V could introduce a videochat. Camera translates the moves u make to your character, no more static faces.
I love it, it's great

Aren't corps restricted to 3 outbound wars though?
How can this possibly appease the need for violence? I would need more than that just to keep gank squads or patrols busy.
About 20-40 wars would probably be sufficient to do reasonable business for clients.

- region chat, only show up when you speak - bookmarks fixed to anchored objects (containers, stations, gates, asteroids, ...) - anchoring skill limits the amount of containers you can anchor - persistent ships (when you disconnect you get autowarp, when you do a clean logoff you stay where you were. - no 0.0 NPC stations - faction standings mean something everywhere. Gallente start with -5 on caldari and vice versa. Standing affects docking rights/fees, rights to use station facilities, being shot by navy. - new characters get the sec status of the deleted character of that player slot (prevent recycling suicide gankers) - only 1 alt in space at a time. (one of your 3 characters is in space or not inside a POS shield? then you cannot undock or leave a POS shield the other 2 characters¦ - no insurance when you initiate combat and you die during aggression timer - get the old NPC spawns back, ie: a mix of battleships, cruisers and frigs, especially those that scrambled NPCing is just braindead simple on tranq. - no instant warp when already aligned. Introduce a calibration timer that is affected by agility (so nothing changes for ships standing still). A ship warps when its aligned and calibrated. Ships already aligned will still need to calibrate before warping - split the dual bonus modules such as tracking computers and sensor boosters - 5% of armor damage can only be repaired inside a station (you get hit for 100 damage, 5 of those damage get a special flag so that it doesn't get repaired.) - hull damage progresses downwards. 99% hull left will over time go to 98%, then 97%. The lower your current hull, the faster it goes down. A hull repairer or damage control reduces the rate it goes down. It can only be fixed at a station or a special POS module.
Some of these things used to be in there but got nerfed away in favour of the carebears, other things are new which i think will make it a more interesting pvp game.
As for the creating an extra shard will ruin the game, I don't think it will in this case, since all other examples are creating a non-pvp shard, here i do want a pvp shard since tranquility is getting more non-pvp by the minute
PS: carebears don't bother to reply since this is not meant for you, you already got tranquility that you are ruining.
I like it very much ...
but as you see even our "so called pvpers are" carebearish at heart, shame on them ...
it will not happen simply because players like us who like to have a challenge are a minority ...
face it, we are too few ... ccp noticed that quite early (shiva patch) and made changes which appeal to carebears way more than to us.
that's it, atm there is simply no other game on the whole planet which is even close to eve ... that being said there is no hope at all that we will get what we want in the upcomming 10 years ...
I for myself will wait for the instas nerf, and judge after that if I will continue paying ccp for my sub ...

Why shard anything for this ?
Just implement in on TQ, in 0.0. Eve has too little meaning. Losses mean next to nothing at the upscale end of gameplay now. Rod Blaine is on holiday, I'm replacing for the moment |

I only want to blow stuff up - you people who only want to build stuff are ruining my game.
I only want to build stuff - you people who only want to watch stuff blow up are ruining my game.
I only want to play the market - you people who shoot me while I'm driving my indy are ruining my game.
I only want to roleplay - you UgotPwnt and BuyMy****zle people are ruining my game.
I only want to 0.0 war, ya know, the real game - you lazy low sec snippers and empire huggers are ruining my game.
I only want to run missions - you "nerf missions to get people out of empire" whiners are trying to ruin my game.
...
This could go on awhile. 
Point is that what makes Eve EVE is the existance of all these playstyles in one pot. Make the pot favor only one playstyle and at the very least it won't be a very popular place...
Use of the term Carebear is a generalization and quite lazy. I have seen evidence of self proclaimed "Pirate/Hardcore PVPers" asking for make things easier for me like things just as much as the supposed Carebears. So, in my mind, saying things like carebears don't bother to reply since this is not meant for you, you already got tranquility that you are ruining. just clouds the issues and attempts to make it a US vs THEM like rant.
A better approach might be to say something like: Non-consential PVP is suffering and here's the reasons why
But to try and "solve" the issue by suggesting that who you think is Carebears and PvPers should be segregated is pretty much suggesting that Eve stop being Eve and is more than likely asking for a pretty decent game to be turned into two boring versions of it.

i thought EVE had a pure pvp shard called TQ.
in empire its called market wars and business. in 0.0 the pvp is the more traditional blast the crap out of the other guy.

I think that some of the ideas that the OP posted are ok (they are all just ways to make it easier to kill people).
But the new shard thing is craptacular.
One of EVE's selling points is the fact that we are all on one server.

Disagree on the separate shard.
Agree on most ideas (all but hull auto-depreciation, which I think is a bit far-fetched).
Actually, you don't need a new shard. Just put it all straight onto TQ. Heheh.

In all fairness, I have made the following suggestion in the past:
--Open Jove Space:
--Have the Jovians declare that Concord, and certain aspects of Pod tech are not welcome in their space (Thus making all Jove space 0.0, and you don't show up in local unless you speak)
--and maybe a few other things.
--Make the Jove space about the same as the better current 0.0 regions for wealth (NOT, absolutely NOT better)
--The idea is to give whiners a section of space that has features they want, and not inflict them on everyone else.

You know, if I behaved like some of you have in this thread every time I saw a stupid carebear suggestion, I would probably have my post deleted and my account permabanned.
So instead I'll point out the obvious and save my breath for another day. Dukath is making a point. EVE is no longer a niche game with a pure pvp focus, and becoming more of a mainstream game with PVE focus by the minute.
So instead of the carebears being flamed for wanting to make the game soft, its the pvpers that get flamed for wanting to make the game harsh. Good luck with that, really.. Maybe in ten years, CCP can match the quality of Blizzard's PVE content today.
And for the record, I would pay double subscription for the game Dukath just outlined. Its hardcore!

Edited by: Sakura Nihil on 02/09/2006 09:50:40 EVE is harsh, there's no need to tell you or the rest of the PvPing clique that; you know it better than I do. However, the moment we start to take the edge off, we might see the uniqueness that draws us to EVE diminished, seeing our game devolve into a friendly, mindless grind geared towards the ex-WoW crowd to make CCP more money. This is not true to the spirit of EVE, why should we compromise our past in order to attract new players?

Tbh, I really wouldn't enjoy those changes. Only things that would be nice would be the splitting of modules like sensor boosters or tracking computers, and region chat.

I read the Original Post, and just to be sure I read it again. I¦m not a PVP¦r, I can barely fly my ship between gates without getting lost, however lets ignore that for the moment.
I have to disagree with Dukath on two points.
1. The hull point degredation is an interesting concept, but I think that if you have a hull repairer fitted, then once the hull is repaired to 100% it stays there till the next time some yahoo in a (insert ship of choice here) uses his weaponry in an attempt to mine your modules.
2. No seperate shard. It should all be on Tranquility.
99% of what Dukath has outlined would have little or no affect on highsec dwellers. Faction standings might cause a few problems, but hey i¦m almost persona non grata in Gallente space anyway so what the hell. Plus it¦s always puzzled me that with tensions between the factions rising, pod pilots are free to go wherever they want, regardless of race or origin.
What I do see in Dukaths post is a lot of exploit fixes, which of course will make his whole idea flamebait for the vocal minority who use those exploits daily.
Good post Dukath. As I mentioned, I¦m not a PvP¦r (unless forced into it by circumstance) but nearly all of your suggestions would only have the effect of improving eve. Hey, we might lose a few people if they were implemented, but the people we lose are probably the sort of people we don¦t want in the game anyway.

sharding would be crap
should modify tranquility so it's closer to what you describe, f.i. make the npc stations conquerable, but heavy maintenance (resisting automatic npc attempts at reclaiming)
alts that get sec rating of previous character in slot is idiotic, so is the undock restriction
faction standings part sure, but KOS to navy in your rival faction's space from birth is stupid
ccp can't tell the difference between disconnect and logoff$ agree with calibrate + aligning
