I, for one, absolutely adore the idea. Especially the part about the boarding parties, ship capturing. For all those who are whining that it will all be too much too manage.... imho, eve dosent have nearly enough combat depth or options to choose from, instead devoting too much time to relatively meaningless tasks like typing out a chat(which can be mostly negated by voice chat...which even i can use with my crappy connection...but i diagress...
Also, to all those who say that its a stupid idea because its just a meaningless bonus....well then, we might as well abandon all the other similar non-essential-to-"fun"-features while were at it....graphics for example, we could all play in a dos screen where we can recieve notifications when we kill something....and hey...itll solve lag too! ITS PERFECT!!....the point being that EVE is a game, and immersion factor is important.I absolutely love eve, its depth, maturity and scope. Yet, it lacks something that That-MMO-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named has...character and personality. when my battleship looks and feels exactly like the other 5,963,623 ships of its class, and when i cant tell my new maelstrom from the one i lost 2 days ago....then id say something is missing.I agree that crew can cauze imbalence...but with so many different ways of implementing it, there has to be some way to make it work, just like every other feature out there in the game.
For my part though, i agree that loosing them with a ship loss may cauze the already high allergy to pvp rate even higher.Id like it if a crew can be cloned along with you for a fee, with all their bonuses intact. That way, it could make you feel that your killing that rat has some more significance than simply making isk, even if it is a small thing, giving it that slightly That-MMOetc,etc touch that could motivate people to play more.I agree with the long-term reward system, cargo hold style management and exp per kill or something similar btw.after so much talk, i think we can start classifying the ideas. Sorry if i offended anyone, just my opinion. Oh, and a dev response is seriously overdue.Its a wonderful idea that has the potential to add some much needed soul to eve.
