1. PLEASE boost small-scale and solo combat. At the moment EVE is heading steadily and further toward blob warfare and boring POS spam. Small corps simply cannot compete in 0.0 besides killing ships here and there. The HP boost emphasizes this further. You shouldn't need capital fleets to compete.
2. Make lowsec more appealing than empire... just find a way to do it. Lowsec is just always completely empty. Its kind of sad. Moving all l4s to lowsec is only part of the solution.
3. Help out large autocannons, the DPS is quite pathetic. As wrayeth said you can barely kill a ravens tank. Also, nullathrons make AC tempests useless because it covers all of 20km scram range. The tracking penalty is meaningless at those ranges with battleships.
4. Overhaul the current (and silly) factional warfare plans to allow people to support the minor factions, pirate factions, and no faction at all. Currently its like Horde vs. Alliance in space with staged battlegrounds, its ridiculous. Work on promoting dynamic roleplay which encourages people to try new and interesting angles.
5. Change omni hardeners. Invulns should not give explosive resists and EANM should not give EM resists.
6. Get rid of queues.
7. Increase aggro timers. No explanation necessary.
8. Get rid of the HP boosts, or at the very least, remove it from extenders/plates. It makes it extremely difficult on low-dps ships and small gangs. 30 minute fights between battleships is really, really ridiculous and turns into whoever runs out of cap boosters first, loses.
9. Completely change ECM. Being jammed is one of the most ridiculous things in EVE. You can't do ANYTHING. I suggest perhaps making ECM not break locks, but actually stopping enemy EW. Some types stop tracking disruptors, some stop nosferatus, things like that. Either that or make ECM only break locks, and you would use them with sensor damps to make them take a long time to relock. Failing that, make ECCM give you a guaranteed lock on one target, whether you are jammed or not. So you could only jam one target. Seriously though... its not fun to just not be able to do anything while you are dying.
10. Take a look at the Amarr and Minmatar ships... pound for pound they arent as good as Gallente/Caldari ones. I think its time that the Caldari/Gallente werent top of the pack anymore, as they have been since day one.
