I want to see periodic npc fleets flying around, both empire and 0.0. Like a huge Amarr fleet of apocs, geddons, omens etc. And then in 0.0 a huge gurista fleet patrolling its stations, to give the alliances more trouble and more realistic. As the alliances ARE in their space, they should try defending it.

How about some racing ? Get a local start-of point and then have to go fetch something in another system . The route should go through some 0.0 systems etc. so that at the end of the day you will need to decide whether to try and out run the enemy or take a bigger ship to make sure your survive the race .

Events that are more widespread and long running, and can affect more people...for example, an alien invasion that starts off slow (a couple of ships just show up occasionally in deep 0.0 space), and then speeds up to a climax (alien ships start attacking outskirts of empire, concord fights tooth and nail, requiring help from players...eventually alien 'mothership' appears somewhere in 0.0 and players have to destroy it before it gets too close to empire). Some nice 'alien tech' modules could be dropped and everyone would have a chance of getting something nice (but the best stuff would only be dropped in deep 0.0). This could last about two weeks.
Of course, 'aliens' is just an example...it could be any NPC group, such as the pirate factions. The point i'm trying to make is that events would be more fun if more people could participate, without all having to cram into the same few systems (causing immense lag)...and even then, it's only the people who have been scouring the channels for news of an event. A big event like this once every few months would certainly spice things up. :D
The Jovian body part collection event was the right kind of scale, but quickly deteriorated into a mass gathering by the megacorps such as BIG, and the lay player's experience of it really only amounted to his/her giving away of their own shard and body part. Event like I have described above would allow people in small corps, or even lone wolves, to join in on the fun, but it would still be slightly more productive to use teamwork, just as eve should be.

I owould like to see a lareg number of small developments and incidents which would make the eve universe more diverse. I would also like to see it where a number of events are just not mentioned or preannounced. I.e a warp storm in one system or plagues or abandoned ships, etc
Like some one mentioned earlier perhaps certain areas can have a food shortage whilst others are being more successful. development of eves wonderful economic system i suppose.
Would also like to see npcs take a more active role with the npcs... some one made a wonderful point that npcs only seem to gank you in the belts... it would be nice to see then attempt to gain control of systems for their own gain. even see them mining! |

theres lots of very low sec empire systems, like >.3 be interesting to see something like all (insert race here) players within a certain area get a pop up msg and are asked to join with a fleet of devs acting as an empire military or concord force to increase the sec status of a system. Theres lots of 0.0 systems and its strange how none of the empries actually want to expand. Also maybe once the sec status of a system is up, events/agent missions could be set to start up a new station or outpsot to help keep the system safe.
Another idea is let say the gurista/angel cartel or another big npc pirate group, does something nasty. Like sansha kidnapping kor-azor mom or soemthing :D and ammarr players and along with amarr navy/concord invade sansha turf and put a stop to sansha? maybe alliances where npcs are stationed could get involved too. Be very neat to see concord and or a military actually stop a pirate faction.
one last idea, that short story about e8-ys9 and those bounty hunters and a jovian gave me another idea. a Dev in a jove ship could fly around 0.0 asking people question or such. Be an interesting break from 0.0 ninja mining to have a jove ship uncloak next to you and ask you quesytions about your alliance

Involving alliances with the faction politics would be swell. The Kor-Azor kidnapping could be a nice storyline... say the culprit is not known, so the prime suspects could be for example Curse Alliance, Sansha and the Jove :D
We seek the Chosen ones / Roleplaying in Eve /

I would like events where players are pitted against each other. Say a recruiter in Amarr gets some pilots to fly into the contested amatar/minmatar areas, and help turn the tide in favor of the amatars. Then someone in Minmatar space makes a fuss on the Minmatar public channel and gets a bunch o' guys to join him in an assault against the insurgents.
This could be done 'legally' if the two actors (the people doing the recruiting) were at war with each other, and each created a gang of players who want to take part. This also allows for voluntary escape by leaving the gang, though you would be unable to take part afterwards.
I think this would add a nice feel to it, as the outcome of such a battle could plausibly affect the storyline in a fashion that is as dynamic and unpredictable as the players themselves.
Another idea would be for the GFTL to hire a troop to make an assault against the serpentis base in fountain. Inadvertently the FA would have to get involved, the serpentis folk could ask the FA to either defend their home base or face drastically increased pirate activity in and around fountain. Including special ISD controlled attack forces that make real trouble for them (of course, this could happen to any alliance).

Systems being invaded by either pirates or some unknown species would be kick ass. Battles between fleets of concord and pirates would also be really nice to see and participate in

Who can bring in the most fresh corpses in a week.
Eve trivia Contest, modules storylines etc.
Put something Curse wants in Stain space, Put something Stain wants in Curse Space. Sit Back.
Quafe slogan contest.
Jove Joyrides are always a crowd pleaser, eviserating indies parked in .9 or 1.0 space all hours.
A cool Mystery like Col. Mustard in the Amarr Station with the Kmalukke.
Create your own Eve song contest w voting.
Corp Survivor would be fun, where everyone joined the corp or corps and then each day or week somone gets voted off, and they do missions/games together against other teams for rewards, winners get something cool.
Corp logo design contest
Mr. T look-a-like contest.
um I'll think of some more random stuff
i'd like to see what it would look like if 2 characters had a baby- you know wher eyou combine their features. i get bored enough to do that

Personally i'm all for another jovian invasion and war.
To much background work has been done for the jovians to remain so silent for such a long time!

I have an idea for something, but it's not so much a single event as it is a minor storyline. Where would I send something like this? I can't find anything under ISD on this site. Or is this another case of my inability to read?

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

I have just finished compiling all your brilliant comments and feedback on the type of events you all want to see. There was some really good event ideas here and rest assured we will be looking over all suggestions in an effort to see what is possible.
Some ideas will not work with the current system and rules in place and some are just against the rules but for the ones that are possible you can expect to be seeing more event of this fashion in a system near you soon.
On another note I would also like to say that events that will be taken into consideration will not just happen over night, the event process is a long and complicated one which must be approved along many stages so please be patient.
To answer MagunusÆs question along with any one elseÆs. If you have full event ideas/plans and want help furthering them then you can send us mail to this address: [email protected]
We will look at the event idea/proposal and if we can help we will but once again please understand we are busy with planning and executing event In EVE so be patient if you do not receive an answer within the first day.

You may miss this if you've already started compiling a list from the ideas in this thread (which have been great btw - finally nice to see something on the boards)
I'd like to see security status fluctuate why should they be so static permantely?? I'm not saying randomly change them every dt :) nice to tie maybe in with a npc event. An influx of npc rats to a .5 system to take it to a .4 a week later relevant navy invade to take it back with players helping either side to stop or help it happening. Move the 0.0's as well that could make some entertaining skirmishes. You might have to make headline news for this one so people don't login and find they are the wrong side 0.0 :) I know I know huge ramifications for people with low sec maybe make it always go lower sec first so that concord doesn't nail people logging in to a changed security system (I think it would be funny personally but reasoning it's a little unjust)
Make the systems a bit more fluid take Yulai down to a .9 and promote Jita to 1 Caldari push back the Guristas but lose out to Serpentis maybe even the evil Gallente see a war on the other Caldari borders as a chance to make a move or two of their own.
