Hello All.
Now I know that this expansion is a long way of, but IĈm sure the CCP team are already bouncing ideas around the office like a game of tennis so id like to ask for your help to tell them what we, the players, would like to see in Midus.
As IĈm sure you all know Midus is supposedly going to be a "pure" Indy expansion but from what I have seen it's beginning to look more like another FW patch/Nano nerf patch with a few sprinkles of S&I to keep us Indy players happy.
http://myeve.eve-online.com/updates/indevelopment.asp
What IĈm asking you to do in this topic is to tell CCP what you would like to see in Midus. I ask that all ideas are 1) focused on S&I 2) realistic and 3) to the point.
And please be supportive of other peoples ideas, no mater how poor they seem to you
I would also like to say that this is not a dig at CCP, yes they are late with expansions, yes they do overrun on DT and yes they do have the odd... bug, in game. but in all fairness all the guys and girls at CCP put in a lot of time and effort and are very open to the EVE community and for that, they have my respect and thanks.
I look forward to hearing your ideas, and with any luck, we might see them in game come December.
Fly Safe and Good Hunting. |

Edited by: Alora Venoda on 10/09/2008 21:48:09 can you link to an article or dev blog where "Midas" is the actual name of this expansion? The development page said the name has yet to be determined... edit: /me waves at CCP Explorer
(also your link is broken)
to answer your post, i would love to see any kind of mining improvements or new features. there has been lots of discussion on fixing ore balance between hi-sec and low/null-sec, and even converting the ore spawns to onboard-scanner-sites.
it would also be nice if we could acquire moon materials (or maybe advanced materials) via an alternate method than POS towers... since newer players are basically locked out of the whole moon material industry. that whole system has not been updated in ages...
for example - a crew of miners might somehow mine planetary rings, comets, or new kinds of ore and get stuff like tungsten or promethium. unlike moons, these would have to be actively mined like regular ore, but at least they would be more dynamic, and perhaps even available in hi-sec.
currently, getting enough raw moon materials to produce even just one kind of advanced material requires multiple towers and a fleet of logistics, not to mention actually having those moons available with all the right stuff. aside from large alliances with control of many systems, most producers of advanced materials must rely on the market to supplement at least a portion of the raw moon materials.
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless.
Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application. |

Fixed your null link. Also, not everything which is slated to go into the Winter Expansion is on the In Development page. As the explanation at the top of that page points out, an idea must get over several hurdles before it is classed as being In Development. If you have ideas and suggestions, I would recommend you make a thread in the Features & Ideas Discussion section or contribute to an already existing thread to further develop an already existing idea.

What would I like to see in the Midus..sorry Midas..industry update?
Well its a tricky one for me because typically Im more of a 'consumer' of what's produced. Why? Well Industry and its splinter activities such as mining, salvaging & "exploration" (hacking and archeology) are just all too similar e.g:
Point module at inanimate object, activate, wait.....profit.
Its just not very, well 'interesting', is it?
So I'd like to see more actual 'game play' introduced to these activities -perhaps a degree of player skill involved (balancing the pressure of those mining lasers for better yeilds, scanning for precious minerals amongst the roids, working tumblers to crack that 'AI relic' my archeological digging has unearthed).
I think concepts like this could be implemented (essentially 'mini games') and would make life just that bit more interesting, that bit more dynamic.

The codename is Midas, not Midus.
Midas, interseting. The king who was granted the ability to turn everything he touched into gold. What turned out to be a curse offcourse, rather then a reward. Very interseting.

Edited by: MailDeadDrop on 10/09/2008 22:00:54 Two things: 1. Fix your link to point to http://myeve.eve-online.com/updates/indevelopment.asp -- presently it points to "null".
2. I believe the internal code name for the Winter expansion is "Midas" (as in King Midas), not "Midus".
And to any CCP mod who happens to read this, the "indevelopment" page mentions the "next biannual expansion". Because biannual and biennial are easily confused by both native English speakers and non-native English speakers alike, you might wish to use "semi-annual" instead.

Well, ambulation is probably not going to be in it - I would imagine that it would be mentioned to the press in the interviews that touch the winter expansion topic.
Though a small chance remains, since CCP will demo ambulation at Fanfest. Maybe it'll be ready in time through some feat of fortune?
By the way, there's a (blue-barred) post in the Market Discussion forums that discusses what people would like to see in Midas, for those who are interested.

Bring back the random ship creation in invention, it made a market for the less popular ships such as the eagle and vulture, which have now risen in price as less are being made from every1 making nighthawks/onyx etc.
The random thing was good, reduced some predictabilty, made eve better for the players that choose to go agsint the norm as they were rewarded for being different.
Currently everything is headed for monotony..

I don't know ...
... with the past 'improvements' of the game, especially the "great" change at the reprocessing window I would say that CCP should focus on something else better than industry.
Things are working more or less okay there. No need to "fix" or "imporove" stuff, please.

Advanced manufacturers should be able to design and create new ships.
Something like:
1. Player chooses a hull type from one of the available hulls.
2. These hulls come with a certain amount of "points" (for lack of an exact understanding of how CCP determines the actual capabilities of existing ship types... ).
3. Players spend these points on Hi, Mid and Low slot configurations as well as any bonus type abilities.
In the end, you could have something like "Joe Blow's Caldari Raven", it would look like a standard Raven, (maybe allow for a different color scheme, or two), but instead of being a shield tanking, missle spammer, it could, instead be an armor tanking blaster ship, etc...
I think this would add a lot of diversity, interesting tactical possibilities and some cool personalization potential to the universe...

Hmm...
1. Dynamic astroid spawns (Already on their list).
2. Capital industrial ship for production on fleet operations. Nomad type of ship for 0.0 ops with manufactoring lines (Ammo speed bonus?).
3. Rework of invention to be more competitive with BPOs. Also being able to invent from BPOs (No loss of BPO ofcourse).
4. Some method of closing/delete old idle/dead corporations. Also remove employment history past a certain date to allow recycling of names.
5. Method of reducing amount of offices per corporation (Perhaps skill).
6. Dynamic pricing on station slots after usage. Just like office rent.
7. Change the way corporation standing is granted to mimmick faction. As in when I do Duvolle missions. My Dai Lai would either go towards 0 or in the negative.
8. Empire build alliance HQ stations/outposts. Perhaps not destructable. But with a monthly fee to keep the isk sinking. I would love to see player stations take over some NPCs. Maybe even "advanced" outposts.
9. More gain/loss due to faction/corporation standing at stations. So if I have the 6.67 standing I can do a perfect refine. However if I got -6.67 I would pay 10%.
10. Improve and randomize the NPC trade market so it cant be macroed.

I would also like a specialised Archaeology/ Salvager Ship. Maybe as a T2 Destroyer variant?
Aside from that, I would like to see more Artifact sites and that the Artifacts from Yan Yung, Talocan, Takmahl and Sleeper play a bigger role in player manufacturing. Right now they are more a curiosity then anything else.
Please expand the Backstory Fluff on the 4 lost Civilisations
Make their Artifacts more important in the economy. Perhaps allowing with the use of various Artifacts, upgrade T2 Items to T3.

Edited by: Crumplecorn on 11/09/2008 10:11:03 If they introduce minigames, I'll quit.
Fix moons. You know what I mean.
Make T1 manufacturing harder to get into. Add components, increase build times across the board to reduce oversupply, etc.
Remove T1 loot from loot tables.
Add a warning, like the one you get when entering lowsec/0.0, to the manufacturing window: "Warning: Minerals you mine yourself are not free"
Remove standings from the equation in all activities they affect, or allow standings gains from the activities they affect, i.e. my standings affect broker's fees or some such when selling, but how often I sell from that corp's station does not affect my standings for some reason. Alternatively, remove missions and agents entirely.
All these ideas are from the top of my head with no thought or justification. -

There's really not a need to make them t2 ships.
I mean we have 1 destroyer.
Why do folks train to destroyer level 5
So they can train and fly interdictor.....
I would introduce t1 versions as just higher level destroyers, and then possibly have t2 versions introduced at same time through invention.
Thoughts expressed are mine and mine alone. They do not necessarily reflect my alliances thoughts. |

Omg! I posted pretty much a very similar OP just the other day and got trolled for it.
The reason this one is taking seriously? Dev response for spelling. LOL
Yeah I don't even need to read the thread though, I know there's no info out on it yet. :(
