I just think about simple solutions and need more polishment . Compensation or Punishment.

Like security status. When someone start shoot you and you don't fight back . After you die the killer got 'predator' status and you got 'prey' status.

Now is base on history of both side.If predator had a lot of prey in their list and prey is never or rarely start a fight. It's trigger

Prey could send 'report' to some npc lke Concord. So NPC could do punishments (like Concord going to destroy ship or podkill as same as predator do with prey) maybe even predator had gone to null or lowsec.

Or prey could choose 'compensation' like Concord's watchlist as long as prey stay in hisec when prey got attack again Concord come and help him instantly.

This situation will happen like one kill for one actions.

This idea is just a draft idea . So EVE could stay in PVP sandbox just make some rooms for anothers player that does not like PVP.

Thanks for sharing.

Well there was no real need for any extra corroboration, but thank you for taking the trouble to provide it anyway.


So anyway, back to the original topic. The new structures devblog looks extremely interesting. Lots of new sand for the box there.

It does seem for the smarter alliances at least, to be a way of at least holding your own against "more power" by positioning your alliance and structures in the right places.

The fact no-one can withstand the full strength of a determined blob will always remain but done right, the citadel structures could make losing a lot more fun and costly for the blobs of extreme power.
It is in the hands of Devs as to whether the new structures help to shift balances of power or are just pretty pixel sticks with guns.

Ok lets say you are totally right.

But still, those averages still hint a bit how much money CCP made compared to past, which matters way more than actual number of accounts/players online, as money is what keeps servers running and employees working at never ending balancing of the game (unlike in some other games, where they need less staff as after they see what is released, it usually is also what they want pretty soon, not in decades like with CCP).

Generally speaking: Neglected children do tend to seek negative attention and bolster their self esteem with delusions of being some sort of rebel.
Obviously, no specific diagnosis could be made from forums but there are some indications from what has been seen here.

As to the structures, I think they have a lot of potential to be great but I do note that they are already making bandaid fixes for the dreadful plans that Fuzzy SOV is pushing through.

The situation of EVE is crystal clear. When more than half of newcomer quit after got PVP . For anyplayer who don't want PVP but had to accept this EVE's sandbox concept. It feel like got bullied or even relate. who want to pay money to got bullied.

Anygame that could only maintain old players but cannot charm new player to stay will had troubles. When Old player bore and quit and new player feel playing game should give fun not anger and irritated . so they choose another games that had more 'fun' for thems.

LOL

Have you heard of Elite Dangerous?

And actually, majority of stars in real Milky Way and in ED are RED(ish, counting purple).

Additionally this game is making more and more expensive.
When i started to play eve battleship hull was from 60-80mil.
Every where people where using T1 battle cruiser hulls , usually drakes , that where cheaper from battleships.
You could lose 5-6 fleet ships and could close your looses easily below 100mil.

Now , T2 on a battlefield is a must.
Battleship cost 160-240mil , and meta have shifted heavily to the more expensive faction versions.

Currently loosing a ship cost you around 150mil.
How new guys can overcome this barrier without extensive farming.

I really miss times when loosing 10 ships one day could be closed within 200mil and not exceed 1bil.

Give us old battlecruisers , and brake neck of those raising prices.
Double or triple amount of minerals you get from mining so miners will not be harmed .

All the way from holdign them under interrogation for fiveminues when they undock, to intercepting their clone transfer procedure and destroy 1,000,000 random SP, potentially disabling several skills depending on those.

Concord cannot be avoided without using an exploit.

Every ganker loses their ship 100% of the time, whether they get a kill or not. That's part of the consequences under the game mechanics.

If a 100% guarantee loss of ship is not a consequence, then what is?

On the "don't look after their stuff" = if you lose it, you are 100% responsible for that loss. If someone loses a ship to gankers, then they didn't take enough care to look after their stuff, because that loss could have been avoided. That counts for me just the same. Not creating a separate group. It's true for 100% of the ships in space without some technical issue occuring (eg. socket close) and those lost through scams.
