Q: 'Attributes aren't very interesting, you should remove them'
A: Again, we agree. Team Size Matters discussed removing them on the o7 show (or some other public venue) awhile back and it's still something we are very interested in. We need to figure out a good way to handle all the learning implants in the game though, which is actually a difficult problem. If any of you have awesome ideas for how to handle it don't hesitate to make suggestions.

You would wind up destroying the game by doing that. Character builds wouldn't matter. Character history wouldn't matter, character trade wouldn't matter. The reputation of a character wouldn't matter.

You'd see Industry alts turn instantly into titan pilots, you'd see miners turn into pew machines. You'd have people complaining how they screwed up their skill remap and beg for another.

That would be the biggest can of worms CCP could ever do. They'd wreck every doctrine, every character and player would be crying how they screwed up their skills, how their training and time investment is now worthless, how their characters definition and life meant nothing.

Swarms of people would max train into the current flavor of the month, and when it gets changed, huge outcry's from people about how CCP nerfed their skill retrain, how CCP trolled them, and that they deserve another or they'll quit.

It basically turns eve into what EQ2 and WOW did. Buy a instant level 90. The entry into eve for all newbies will be "Buy a character off bazaar if you want to play". New Players will feel even more disenfranchised that in order for them to compete on any level, they have to buy a character with a remap.

You want to see Eve die in a ball of fire. Do that.

For a vet, for a new player with a 14 day trial and wanting to use a drone ship during that time it is 1/3 of their game time.
Imagine if the gunnery skill was changed to allow the fitting of 1 turret per level, this is also combined with the fact that you will also still have hardpoints on your ship limiting how many you can fit on a particular ship.

It is a legacy skill and needs to be updated, drone control should be an aspect of each hull much like turret or launcher hardpoints.

What my main point is, the drone skills is inconsistent with how every other weapon in the game is handled for fitting purposes. Drones have bandwidth which represents hardpoints, but also requires additional skills to use said bandwidth.

Restating my example.
Imagine if the gunnery skill was changed to allow the fitting of 1 turret per level, this is also combined with the fact that you will also still have hardpoints on your ship limiting how many you can fit on a particular ship.

Maybe you should go have a talk with the Gallente engineers behind the Tristan and the Algos.

Make the Prior skills the multiplier for how fast the next skill will train.

This essentially making the training of specific tree way faster then spreding thin.
This giving the same feeling as redistributing of attributes.

ONE thing i feel is useful especially for WH & Nullsec/Titan pilots, aswell as skill planing.
Ability to inject skill books that dosent have the requirements reached yet, letting them be injected sitting on lvl.0

For ever ever.

... CCP needs the idiots...

...My favourite solution was the cerebral accelerator program ...

...
the problem is newbies are not rich they cannot afford + 5 implants that's the main reason why this is a problem and they also discourage people from doing PVP
...

And how so? If they are clueless and do not know the game, how will more SP improve their game? Yes, they can potentially use more stuff right away. But how does this solve their cluelessness and lack of knowledge?

Does anyone here actually put any effort into thinking of ways how to make the gameplay experience better beyond "More SP! Prepare them quicker for the grinder, because I need easy targets!"?

... "yeah that'll do" mentality.

"Good enough for government work."

...

So, if you're ahead now on SP, you're always going to be ahead, and there will be no implants to allow someone sitting in HS to catch up on SP without worrying near as much about losing that isk.

...
See, what I find odd is that you sit there saying newbros should wait a year before they get +5imps yet we're all very aware that they need those imps more than we do.

...

Right now there is someone in HS in +5s doing what he enjoys to do. While doing so, he is catching up with your null character/s in SP because he can and takes less risks of losing them.
If you continue to PVP in null, and run around in +3 imps, you're not only gaining less SP/hr but you're also losing 30 mil isk in every pod loss. You would likely lose more isk from imps this year than the isk he would lose in +5 imps for his entire Eve career.
So, you're losing more and gaining less despite you taking more risks.

I get your point, but it seems more like a case of bitter vet more so than proving a balanced system.
