Instead of the crap the map shows now show what corporations are the most promintent battling pirates in that area, earning the highest profits in the market or who are the latest big comers working for the megacorporations.
With these options being up for toggle the map would serve as this 'league board', with some corporations taking pride in doing well operating in areas hostile to them even.
Of course there would be no sense in giving this information away for free and voila another social skill for extracting sensitive information...

I set Avon up to be a researcher when Eve was released.
I wanted to be able to improve BP's and do reverse engineering (both promised at the end of the beta)
... still waiting.
On the bright side at least my attributes now better suit PvP training, my (relatively) low Willpower held me back quite a lot compared with the PvP-centric characters created at the same time.
Yep, same here. But in reply to the question here I do not think that EVE is TOO PvP oriented, but some players/posters are for sure.

Except for T2 lotteries  the non-combat section has had nothing but nerfs (NPC trading is still not viable compared to other professions).

Excellent post Josh, but it'll get buried within 2 or 3 days, and we'll forget about it.
Sadly happens too much these days.

Nice post Josh and I agree with you but it is also true that combat is at the hart of this game.
I would however like to see my trade skills come into effect, I have been waiting a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time to see them implemented.

There's a whole score of social skills you could implement if you wanted to, Fencing, Racketeering, Factional Liason, Exclusive Supplier, all with their added little bonuses, just like the millions of shield skills, you take a nap and perhaps you will see this too.
Thank you. I'll take a nap as soon as possible. Please describe what these skills should do or did you just come up with fancy names? There are two shield skills out there. One that increases your shield recharge rate and one that increases your shield total hit points. If you count all the skills in EVE you will see that there aren't even millions of skills in the game. Perhaps you too need a nap (or perhaps I'm trolling  )
Last I heard the developers were working on the contraband system that will open up the black market and probably introduce a lot of new skills related to that. Shiva it will be me thinks.

Fencing in that it will be needed selling contraband and moving souped up loot on the market.
Racketeering in that you could hold up and extort convoys and even stations for money rather than just blowing them up, the convoys that is.
I forgot the rest, just off the top of my head, can't be assed to jump back and forth here to answer your whys, inevitably there will be another one at the end of every layout I give no matter how detailed.
Oh yeah, that exclusive contractor or what I called it, skill enabling you to sell at a fixed price above what regular traders can get at a number of locations corresponding to your skill level, you're just that good at working out a legally binding lucrative contract.
It's not hard to come up with social skills for the game if you want to, if being the key word.

As I said then new skills will probably be added when shiva comes out and you must have the contraband system before you can release skills for it so Fencing would do nobody any good at the moment but they are working on itTM.
The Racketeering idea sounds strange and kinda silly but it might work. Warp scramble a convoy and ransom it. Might work.
Exclusive contractor sounds a lot like the trade skill. Is that still not working btw?

Perhaps fixing the broken trade skill would be a better idea then to create a new one that does exactly the same thing but perhaps I'm wrong. Perhaps the solution to the lack of social skills is to create many skills that do the same thing but have different names.
Am I trolling again?

That's what I meant by it being pointless to describe my ideas, just face it, there's room for as many social skills as there are for combat.
The difference is that Trade is a blanket skill affecting every sale everywhere as far as I can tell, if you read my specs my suggestion wasn't anything like that.
