With "achuran-like" attributes for the Gallente and Minmatar choices. Don't really care what you do with the Amarr ones, as Khanid (especially cyberknight) is pretty decent already. As for Caldari, I'm not even sure they even need a new bloodline at all, but I guess you can find some gap of skill combinations resulting is some "desirable" attribute spreads that aren't particularly well-covered by any existing bloodlines.
Seriously, every damn person on the planet WANTS to pick Achura (just about any ancestry) because of the attributes, or at least Khanid (but only cyberknight). You have a Caldari character overload because of that, and it's about damn time to fix it.

What? What game are you playing? Let's do this in traditional Eve fashion.
Nerf Achura attributes!

Why not just alter the existing ones to allow for more reasonable attribute combinations? I mean otherwise people will just have to use the achura bloodline of their own race all the time. Thats an improvement but wouldn't it be great to be able to chose a bloodline for the looks or rp background knowing that you will still have decent attributes?
Also all races should have the same number of bloodlines that would include amarr.
That being said its indeed a shame. My alt characters are mostly achura because they really are "the best".

No.
I think every bloodline should start with stats of 3 3 3 3 3, and be given the appropriate amount of points, to customize their attributes however they want.
I'm sick of seeing Achura everywhere, the Forge looks like Chinatown.

We could do with some new bloodlines anyway, from a RP perspective. Mostly to fill some of the race gaps (all the races in game are either white or Asian, save for the 1 black bloodline; plenty of other niches to fill). And if memory serves me right, there are plenty of backstory candidates: theres at least 1 other Gallente Federation member, at least 1 other Matari tribe, at elast 1 other Amarr-conquered culture, and I'm sure we can rustle up another Caldari one. ------

Do you really feel that the absence of significant numbers of bloodlines with similar appearances to modern races evenly distributed across the various factions serves to promote racial inequity? Because that's what you're implying when you attempt to justify the addition of new bloodlines via the race card. Tell me if you are, because that's a flame I can get in on.

Is a Jin-Mei Gallente with 8/8/8/8/7 vs 9/9/9/9/3 achura a big deal? I think a Minmatar can do 9/8/8/8/6. So is that 3 Charisma really that important?

Well that's all well and good but at some point you will want to train social skills and leadership skills as they give a huge bonus, also some trade skills are worthwhile doing both for increasing your profit and the ability to set buy or sell orders anywhere in the region.

We don't really need a new set of bloodlines.
We need to have the attributes balanced in importance. For example social skills should be much more important to mission runners, leadership to PvPers, etc...

Well, it's the same difference as between getting the learnings to L5, or sticking with L4... the same as plugging in +5 implants instead of the old +4s. Actually, it's much more than that, since you "feel" that extra point in each of the attributes from the very start, so you can stop training learnings much earlier while getting the same results, or you can go on and do that extra step in slightly less time the other could have. Sure, it's not such a BIG deal, but if you look at it that way, why do people pay dozens of millions of ISK for a damage mod that gives 10.5% bonuses instead of 10% bonuses ? Or for a 5% implant, when a 3% one is so much cheaper ?
People always want "the best". Problem is, there is a "best" for the time being, and that "best" is Achura.
Originally by: Kahega Amielden Better idea: introduce more Charisma skills to EVE. Watch the Achura players cry 
Meh, I've trained Anchoring 5, megacorp management and a buch of other charisma primary or secondary skills... but head to head, they probably constitute about 5% of my SP total or thereabouts.
You'd have to get a WHOLE LOT MORE charisma primary and secondary skills that would be useful in combat, or at least in mining, science or industry (I'd love to see the rationale for any of those skills having charisma as a component, except RPM which already has, and it's relatively reasonable) in order to make it important in any way at all... if you don't, and just tack on some non-highend or non-conflict skills, you've done absolutely nothing... you might as well start an Intaki alt for that instead of training them on your "main".
Adding those charisma-based skills might slightly mitigate the problem, but it won't even go close to "fixing" it.

While it may be that charisma doesn't have many skills, you aren't gaining much in your other skills by keeping your CHA that low.

If you're a powergamer, yes it is. Heck, even if you're not, it matters. That 9/9/9/9 Achura will (with Learnings to V/IV) outpace the Jin-Mei's training (for non-charisma skills) by 99 points per hour, which adds up. It's not some huge amount, but our Achura friend will be sitting on about 800k more SP per year than the Jin-Mei. It's like having all your implants magically upgraded by +1, for nothing.
The Achura also has the option of making any of those stats considerably higher, and can increase Int or Per to very nice levels without sacrificing other stats much. That's the main reason they're so good. Brutor, for example, can get excellent Perception, at the cost of low Int. Intaki can get very good mem/int, but their Perception will suffer for it (3 base perception WTF). Achura doesn't have to make that tradeoff, as the 3-4 points that aren't in Charisma compared to most other bloodlines are going entirely to USEFUL attributes.

The 'average' pilot has no particular use for leadership skills. Someone else (who didn't roll up a 3 Charisma Achura) can train them, they'll work for the whole gang. Besides, there are a rather limited number of Leadership skills compared to say, tank supports and gunnery and ship command skills and . . . -------------------- ICE Blueprint Sales FIRST!! -Yipsilanti Pfft.

Edited by: In Theory on 07/03/2008 05:33:10 Here's a thought- make charisma directly influence the amount of isk you can default-sell items for (not putting them up on market, just the default offer) and even the npc taxes. It's quite reasonable to assume if you're a snotty, ugly, annoying, ***** of an Achuran the tax officer isn't going to have qualms with charging you a few hundred thousand extra isk off your T2 BS auction... Same goes in reverse-- if you're some hot gallente chick, that same officer will likely be a bit more lenient on your taxes... =)
Also-- leadership skills are rather helpful in combat, wouldn't say there's no need of charisma in combat.......... but it still doesn't come close to as necessary as perception (gunnery/piloting) or willpower and memory (drones/missiles). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Well, that should've worked... |

No need for more bloodlines, if some people want to play ugly achurians cause they get a few extra points in a stat or two then more power to them...
It was adding new bloodlines which created them in the first place.

I don't think we need a new set of bloodlines.
I think we need more players who aren't stat optimizing *****s.
I too am sick of seeing all the Achura characters knowing that the vast majority ONLY picked the race for the stats. It screams lack of imagination or creative care when it comes to making their characters.
I prefer to play the super stat / handicap game with my characters as it gives them a quirkiness all their own.
For example my latest alt is Gallente Gallente Soldier with a base stat spread that looks like: 8 cha, 8 int, 4 mem, 13 perc, 6 will.
Now people will begin gasping in horror at a gallente pilot with 4 base memory cause all they can think of is "ZOMG YOUR DRONE SKILLZ WILL TAYK 2 LONGS LUL" but my spaceship (the ones that use perc as primary anyway) and my gunnery skills will be training at a significantly faster rate than other people who just started alts and went for even spread or Achura-***** spread.
People are far too concerned with what's "best" and have lost all sense of what gives your creations personality.
Achura are like the borg. Don't get assimilated.

To be honest, anyone who cares what race they are (cause anyone can use any skill) isn't the sort of person that would worry about not having 'the best' starting attributes. Adding more bloodlines will just see another influx of one or two bloodline characters as those that absolutely have to have the best stats re-roll. It's only a lil' picture in the corner ffs!

This.
-Or-
Another idea I liked, was to implement some way to allow adjustments of base attributes. It would allow players to have a bit more freedom with their stats and not restrict anyone to certain bloodlines so they can have "optimal" training times. Unless they wanted certain attributes right off the bat.
I think that, with some restrictions (such as an attribute cap), it could be a very nice feature. And in such a scientifically advanced universe is not out of place.

Originally by: Elizam I don't think we need a new set of bloodlines.
I think we need more players who aren't stat optimizing *****s.
I too am sick of seeing all the Achura characters knowing that the vast majority ONLY picked the race for the stats. It screams lack of imagination or creative care when it comes to making their characters.
I prefer to play the super stat / handicap game with my characters as it gives them a quirkiness all their own.
For example my latest alt is Gallente Gallente Soldier with a base stat spread that looks like: 8 cha, 8 int, 4 mem, 13 perc, 6 will.
Now people will begin gasping in horror at a gallente pilot with 4 base memory cause all they can think of is "ZOMG YOUR DRONE SKILLZ WILL TAYK 2 LONGS LUL" but my spaceship (the ones that use perc as primary anyway) and my gunnery skills will be training at a significantly faster rate than other people who just started alts and went for even spread or Achura-***** spread.
People are far too concerned with what's "best" and have lost all sense of what gives your creations personality.
Achura are like the borg. Don't get assimilated.
You go do that. The stat optimizing *****s will be busy training their int/mem and mem/per skills significantly faster than you, and many of them will have Per/Will similar to what you have as well, just with better memory (and 3 Charisma). Enjoy your 'quirky' characters. Your characters personality is the personality you give it, not what your attributes say.
But who am I to talk, my crap base Perception is part of the reason I'm such a drone *****, rather than speccing missiles or guns. -------------------- ICE Blueprint Sales FIRST!! -Yipsilanti Pfft. Never such a thing as a "last chance". ;) -Rauth |

Edited by: Ulstan on 07/03/2008 22:56:15 Instead lets introduce a whole new range of combat skills that are based on CHA and screw over all the archura.  
Yes, my CHA is higher than my MEM. Why do you ask? :D

Well the last time they tried to add more bloodlines the game was horribly broken for about a week. ---- DOMINIX IS INVINCIBLEBLUE:(((( |

How about a new race coupled with the discovery of a new region? Not the jove, but a race with similar atributes to the current four races, perhaps with a new weapon system, but also with new ships etc...

A complete new empire instead of an additional bloodlines to existing empires would be quite... complicated. And it wouldn't "solve" nor alleviate the issue of 40% caldari, 30% gallente, 20% minmatar, 10% amarr "racial spread" among pod pilot characters.

Udorian is the missing Amarrian conquered peoples. Tash-Murkon Imperial house are Udorian.
There are a couple of missing Minmatar tribes including the Nefantar (Ammatar - Turncoats, collaborators and tribal elders who chose to work with the Amarr after conquest and were thus not part of the republic (correct me someone if I'm wrong). Also the Kursal and another tribe mentionned in the description of the Brutor and the vhekior (sp? not goet the foggiest...), something begining with S anyway.
So straight up two more candidates for Amarr and Minmatar bloodlines. Caldari? No idea. I never saw caldari as having bloodlines, being more of a unified race with different sub-cultures (civire and deteis) plus the achura tagged on the end. But that's just me
And yeah, be nice to see more African / black bloodlines, or arabs or indians or any number of the other wide variety of races on Earth. I did however see a black civire once, using the skin tones and the correct lighting, but the only one I've seen so far

Originally by: Patch86 We could do with some new bloodlines anyway, from a RP perspective. Mostly to fill some of the race gaps (all the races in game are either white or Asian, save for the 1 black bloodline; plenty of other niches to fill). And if memory serves me right, there are plenty of backstory candidates: theres at least 1 other Gallente Federation member, at least 1 other Matari tribe, at elast 1 other Amarr-conquered culture, and I'm sure we can rustle up another Caldari one.
Do you really feel that the absence of significant numbers of bloodlines with similar appearances to modern races evenly distributed across the various factions serves to promote racial inequity? Because that's what you're implying when you attempt to justify the addition of new bloodlines via the race card. Tell me if you are, because that's a flame I can get in on.
I like variety. Theres no particular reason why there shouldn't be some other racial groups in the game, other than that it hasn't happened yet. And the backstory supplieth 4 ready made bloodlines to use for the purpose. I'm not saying that we should shoehorn in 4 unneeded new bloodlines just to fill the holes in the racial lineup, just that some new bloodlines would be a nice opportunity to throw a bit of diversity in to the mix.
If CCP did decide to put 4 new bloodlines in, would you actively argue against them being Hispanic, say, or Arabic? Because that's certainly a flame train I could board... ------

We need more charisma based skills. I recommend the following categories have additions:
1) Trade: Skills like remote reprocessing, T2 skills to lower taxes and fees even more, Skill to automatically reprice orders in a range to be lowest order, etc.
2) Corp management: Support skills for POS gunners, such as rapid fire, surgical strike, shield operation, etc.
3) Leadership skills: Add more ways to improve gang/team work such as team team remote shield repairing, team evasive manuver, etc.

Edited by: Eventy One on 10/03/2008 18:01:29 Well there are other bloodlines .. there are a bunch within the Jove. The Jove have at least two blood lines that I am aware of (possibly more)- Modifiers and Statics:
From Veniel's description (who is a Modifier):
The different branches of Jovians that exist are not the result of variations in geographical or climatic differences, but rather that of genetic engineering through the centuries. The Modifiers are the enthusiasts of the Jovian family. They are curious and constantly willing to try or experience something new and fresh. Modifiers have lower life expectancy that other Jovians and are more susceptible to the dreaded Jovian Disease. It seems that by constantly living on the edge makes them burn out faster.
Yet from CCP John Proctor's description (who is a Static):
The different branches of Jovians that exist are not the result of variations in geographical or climatic differences, but rather that of genetic engineering through the centuries. The Statics are one of the two main branches. Statics are generally introvert and prefer status quo, both socially and biologically. The Statics regard themselves as observers that should interfere as little as possible with the world. They believe that they are as genetically evolved as can be and generally frown upon large-scale genetic engineering programs.
So bringing in the Jove will result in additional bloodlines. As for the rest of us non-Jove .. I agree there is room for new blood lines with different characteristics to emerge.
