I'd like an update on what they plan on doing about expensive implants being lost when you're podkilled please. Several ideas were mooted, I'd just like to know what was decided and when they plan on implementing it.

I would like to know when they are going to give all ships different/unique/usefulll boni as atm they are all the same or useless to the ship. Simply giving damage mod or Rate of fire boni is not good enough.

Gangs:
I want to know when the gang system is being fixed?
Currently you need to start a gang, disband it restart it, disband, relog, restart gang, disband gang, restart gang etc etc to even get a basic gang of 5 people actually funtioning correctly.
Who's sick of getting "gangster not in system" when you know full well they are?
Also when are the basic gang skilz being released?
When is the Leadership skill going to have an effect? (gang sizes are not skill based currently but unlimited afaik)

2 things.
1) Gangs - agree with above post. ganging is sorta buggy. Make is that you can invite as often as you like until the person actually is IN the gang.
i've often had bugs where i invite someone, they accept but dont get in, and then i cant invite anymore... so who gang has to be dispbanded etc,
How about making "squadrons" a permanent gang - like the chat channels?? where once you are invited, you can join anytime?
2)ship individuality - like the nice bonuses on the interceptors, give the existing ships bonuses specific to their task... perhaps even a specific skill to pilot specific ships? eg - pilot Thorax skill... each level of skill gives bonus to drone space? etc
this sort of thing would be great.

hows this for a feature.
Ok this is a blatent rip from EQ's "raid" feature.
Gangs can be split into squadrons, so instead of having one big off gang you can have wings of BB's and wing of long range BS's etc. now instead of getting the normal gang invite, it would be a wing invite, when you enter this wing, a new channel activates which could be called "fleet" or something along those lines.
in this channel would be each member of the fleet, you could then warp to whom ever within the fleet either by yourself or the wing commander can warp the wing to a destination much like the gang warp feature this could then lead to better tactical management.
just an idea.
I mean c'mon, just think about it. What would make more sense then the 3 most hated alliances teaming up to lay waste to the people they all hate anyways? CA is already allied with PA, and TPS lies between the two alliances. Natural allies to be sure. But it's not just that, all but PA (and even some of them) have adopted a "stfu and die, or come and fight us, we don't give a **** what you think or do" philosophy, as well as a PvP Kill everyone not friend kind of mentality. These are the people in eve that kill or convert, the ones dedicated to the death of others, because history, circumstance, and the rest of eve have driven then to do so (except TPS, who are just cool ass pirates ). |

Is there any ongoing work on really usefull drone interface? Currently drone-bay window and active drones list clutter half of screen space. You can't know drone health BEFORE lunching him. Active drone health bar is not propertly and TIMELY updated. There is no such command "Guard me". Sometimes drones silently refuse to return to it's master ship (no, they are not damaged). There have been promises for repair drones. Gallentians need defender anti-missle drones. Having "Launch and attack current target" in drone-bay right-click menu would be also cool. I'm not speaking about grouping drones and much more :) .

2 Improvements for explorers and hunters.
1. Improve the directional scanner by having a transparent circle displayed in the camera view that would represent the end of the "cone" for a given angle and range. This seems like it would be fairly easy to do (very straight forward trig) and it would greatly improve this tool.
2. Give us the ability to warp a specific distance, either by setting a specific amount of cap to use or by a specific amount of AU (both would need to be to .000 places). You would still need a destination to warp to but in the pull down menue there could be a new option "Warp X amount" where the amount in AU or KM is specified. The same result could be achived if the pilots can specify a specific amount of cap to use, and then it would be up to each pilot to figure out how much cap takes them how far.
Thanks,
Zuek

Question:
1. Will CCP remove sentry guns from 0.4 and lower systems again? ever? This would bring pirating back from the dead, as at the moment the only effective pirating can be done in 0.0 systems that have VERY little traffic or so called "ganking" from beyond the sentries range.
I know many pirates and anti pirates who have quit the game or who will quit the game soon if this isnt changed in some way, as both sides pirate and anti pirate find it VERY hard to play their role.

I've got a few.
• When are ships going to accurately represent the race descriptions? E.g. Gallente being the EW experts, Caldari ships being light and nimble, etc?
• When are cruisers going to get two bonuses each, like every other ship class does?
• When is the 125mm variant raligun going to be introduced for cruisers and battleships? Not having these weapons in severely limits a players ship set-up options.

I would like to know when an individual from a corp will be able to put items on the market under their corp name so the proceeds from the sale go straight to the corp and not the individual.
It would make bookkeeping so much more simpler.

Dynamic market!
some steps leading from the current conditions:
* regionalise the market - make the various NPC corporations buy and sell things according to their race and purpose. (ie - stop amarr schools selling minmatar skills etc)
- this would spread things round the eve universe more, and make more routes appear - both for NPC demands and for player demands.
* create a supply based on purchases by NPC corps.
- this is the next step - once the market is regionalised, make the items produced dependant on the amount of goods purchased - if a particular station isn't able to buy its needed items, it cannot produce and hence cannot make things to sell.
* limit purchasing power of corps.
- next step - NPC corps and stations need to get a little realistic. they want to make a profit and so will buy the cheapest they can find and sell the most expensive they can - make them modify their purchase and sale orders over time depending on history. If a particular station is selling so badly that it cannot make money - it will stop buying things (can't afford to) and so stop selling things eventually (go out of business)
- this step is a hard one, it will really make the market dynamic, and might show up some serious flaws as npc stations go bankrupt - they will also get money from the station services etc... and perhaps have a "wealth" of a station shown. This will allow players to know that a station is wealthy, and potentially drive up the cost of the stations purchases by refusing to sell at low prices - setting sell orders higher than asked, so eventually (in a day or so) the unmet demand will have to be met by more expensive products..
the tech 2 production gives us a player demand for various "trade items", so that will get included in there as well..

Does CCP have any intention to fix the graphics problems that plague most of EVE's players that use ATI Radeon graphics cards?
I'm talking about the bald/naked character portraits and the missing/corrupt module images.
This has been an issue on the live server for a long time now, and is well documented, but never addressed.

Quesion 1 )
When will you - The Devs - explain ship balancing and motives for skill bonus changing.
Question 2)
Why does it seem that tech 2 items are receiving, or so it seams, PRE-CASTOR tech 1 attributes after current tech 1 and skill bonus balancing. Example : Since you will need high skill to pilot a new ship and then the agility skill was nerfed... the new ship will seem that much more responsive than a tech 1 with the old Ship Command skill with a few inertias
Quesion 3)
Tech 2 items are being seeded at a slow pace. This seems to be an organizational mis-que between devs and RP content creators. In that I mean, your not seeding them fast enuff so the RPing is taking weeks or vice versa. Is tech 2, honestly, proceding according to plan? Also, could you shed some light on how you interact with your RP content creators.
Qustion 4)
How do you - The Dev Team - feel about the Caldari ship situation? The player base in general sees that in an attempt to balance Caldari ships ( and Devs WERE right in that balancing was indeed in order ) that other races have an utmost advantage in EVE. Example - The Role Playing Storyline does not match the current state of Caldari ships and have put not only veteran Caldari Pilots but new Caldari pilots at a disadvantage in the EVE universe. Furthermore, there was indeed no balance in the balancing and in fact it pushed combat clearly in the hands of Minmitar Vessels, a role in which they once shared pretty evenly.

Not sure about this one but...
How about the ability to make selective sell orders. As in, instead of putting that thorax on the market for everyone to buy, make it so all can buy except the following corps " " " ", so on and so forth. That way its like an embargo from one corp to another and could be a great levy and an alternative to war. Not only that but you could in fact then not supply the enemy with your own produced items :)

2. you are allowed to follow up your questions.
3. you are allowed to tell them, if they are giving bull**** answers.
4. if you decide not to show up, as it doesn t seem to be worth the effort, please tell them!
5. at least try to corner them on dates (is this the 2-month-type of soon, or the perhaps-never one?)
ps: i d love to know something about their work-distribution. how many devs are working on rather irrelevant issues (graphics, planetfall, ui, website,...)?
are there anyones working on important issues (combat...)?

Just 2 requests here:
1. Can us manufacturers please have a manufacturing window. This will display all the factories you have hired, in what system they are, what is intalled in the factories and a completion time on the thing being made and a mail saying that item has been built and it is ready for pickup.
2. I was really looking forward to the folders in the buddies tab on people & places. Unfortunetly as it is at the moment it is useless. I have great difficulty putting people into folders i have created, and when i do get them into that folder they are still in the ALL folder which is useless, it should be like the BMs just drag and drop buddies into a folder and that is the only copy of it. Also when u delete someone from ur buddies they can not be put back until you have relogged.

wow, some good questions here. These probably aren't as important but just in case someone will ask them for me:
1) Any word on the online store?
2) Any word on the paintshop/decal functionality for ships?
3) Why are turrets the only thing that you can equip to a ship and see visibly?
4) Any chance the look at feature will be adjusted so the transition between camera points will be a nice slow pan or that so that looking at an asteroid doesn't give you a view of the whole belt?
Oh well, just some things I would like to hear the answers to.

1) Any plans on fixing the station/hoarder bug, nothing worse that undocking, getting 'caught' in the station and wasting time gaining space. Surely placing the ships 5km away from the station when undocking will do.
2) Dire colision detection with asteroids. You could be facing away from a giant asteroid with some distance and firing missiles, yet the missiles will still collide.
3) A Banking sytem would be nice :D
4) Any chance of a working market so that people could make money from it, by this I mean items which cannot be made. It would be grand to be a trader :)
5) More Brokers, or some brokers. Haven't seen any yet :S
6) sell orders going through the Corp
7) Mining class ship. Considering most people have to mine at some point, deosn't it make sense?.
8) Mobile refineries, any news on progress? and what will they be labelled under in the market.
I think that's it for now :)

Train by Play
Also known as auto-train. Ive heard this is suppose to come back into the game some how. If so how will it be manifested as?
Blue Print colors
It would be nice to have BP orignals and Copies seperate colors.
Blue Print liscensed runs
This is out of hand! allowing so many runs on a BPc makes the orignals worthless.
Ammo (excludeing crystals) BP should be limited to 3000 runs.
Ship equipment should be limited to 50 runs
Ships limited to 10 runs.
And maybe a warning added to them for those putting them up for sale saying that its below the average price of market value.

Are the component needs for the new interceptors correct? As it stands they seem awfully expensive for what is at the end of the day a frigate.
When are drones going to be fixed? Despite the description saying they only have an optimal range of 1km they all hit perfectly upto ranges of 25km. If this were changed it would have a massive effect on the viability of many of the frigates in combat.
Why do modules keep slipping onto TQ with incorrect stats or only partial functionality? surely the QA process should be picking this up by now? (I'm thinking Nosferatu modules as a current example, and I know for a fact there was a thrad about them in the patch review long before they hit tranquility).

1) Are there any plans to acutally fix the escrow-system? Make it searchable, show more then one page etc?
2) Are there any plans to shorten travel-times? Watching the autopilot go 30 jumps is not really that exciting. There are some Ideas on the Ideas-Forum, e.g. let the autopilot warp closer to gates, do 2 jumps in one etc.. Any plans whatsoever to decrease travel times?
3) Does anyone acutally read the Ideasforum? Would it be possible that the person reading them acutally comments once in a while? Or rates the Ideas? Anything like that?

1. With stations currently capturable, are there future plans for things such as charging docking fees and installing your own market computers, repair shop, Medic Bay, etc. Also how soon are we likely to be able to build our own stations and what are the likely mineral costs for these.
2. Currently, a corp is unable to buy or sell goods using its own wallet, but instead this has to be done through individuals own wallets. Are there future plans to enable the corp wallet to carry out buying/selling functions - this would make the irritating "shuffling" of funds defunct.
3. With the markets being pretty much now reliant on player trade and manufacture, are there any plans to bring back NPC markets to a state that they were before castor. Trading is a totally different world to how it once was, where there were NPC buy orders after downtime. Much of the NPC buy orders are currently very very little in amount or tiny in profit margin - and the distances far outway the gain.
Cheers

I would like them to be asked why they decided that overtakeable stations should be included at the same time as new stargates. Two seemingly seperate things that make a big difference are implemented at the same time. Also ask them if they plan on adding more solarsystems ever.

And pleas ask them if thy are going to make the Megatron best at something. Right now its just a good ship but not the best at something in my personal opinion. Its not so much that has to be added well maybe but what about another mid slot?
Or make the blasters able to deliver damage at longer range maybe. Or bigger drone space.

Earlier someone mentioned formation flying. Why not take that option even farther. Using the gang interface you can have a group of ships. One of those ships being nothing but a big sensor array with engines strapped to the back of it. That ship can then transmit its telemetry to the ships in the rest of the gang. Since the sensor ship will basicly be defenseless you would have to worry about protecting it, but with its range and speed of sensors you could see threats before they have a chance to even relize you are there.
Also why not be able to fly in different formations. Allowing different tactics to come into play. If you are escorting someone you should be able to have your gangmates be able to form a protective buble around the escotee with the escorts shields. Or have a formation to attack a target, but with the target in the center of a sphere of attacking ships so the pilot may become confused and not relize where the attacks are coming from.
I think you should also be able to disable a ship and be able to board it and possibly capture it. This could take the form of a new skill or possibly a new ship.

What are the use of interceptors? From what can be told now they will cost around 3 million as an absolute minimum, what are they expected to be used for? A kestrel can do most jobs for which frigates are used just as well (eg. indy blowing and harassing cruisers). So basicly my question is will the elite frigates built times get shortened/made cheaper?

I think I'm too late, but I'd liked to have asked them what incentive is there for miners now that the stations in 0.0 are there and controlled by the fighters.
As a miner myself I was hoping for one day being able to secretly build my own station deep in space and being able to either a) self destruct it if someone found it or b) move it to another location
With the new stations and stargates in game it is a pvpers game and a pvpers game only now. My dream of secretly building a station 30 jumps from a bottleneck and being able to protect not by force, but by it being hidden are dashed.
