Eh, I'd far rather go a completely different route if it was up to me.

• Split FW into a four way war with each empire considering the other three enemies.
• Split empire into four seperate highsec islands with a band of lowsec that separates them all.
• Collapse CONCORD and make the Genesis constellation a lowsec landmark.
• Have the faction navies take on CONCORD's role in their respective areas of space (with the power of current CONCORD).
• Have militia NPCs act as faction police and customs (with the power of current faction police and customs).
• Have each empire at odds with its traditional pirate enemy.
• Both PvP and PvE focused content for FW so that you can focus on either, or a combo if you want.
• I'd also heavily intertwine the NPE with factional identity in EVE to give people a feeling that their starter empire is "home", and get rid of the current NPC starter corps, everyone would go into one per faction s...

Yeah, we held the record for the longest time of the most people from a corp at Fanfest.

I still have the t-shirts, it was insane haha.

I think we got to the point where we had more than 50% of our active members at Fanfest one year.

haha, the more you know!

Sent you a DM! :D

To be fair, how we would move super caps/titans in Lowsec without who is there?

You wouldn't. If it were up to me I'd ban supers from lowsec. As for regular caps, HTFU, grow some balls, and roll the dice like everyone else - or have a friend scout for you, it's not rocket surgery. There's two Ms in MMORPG for a reason, use them.

I love this idea, but to move these through lowsec, i NEVER jump into a system that i dont know about EVERY pilot that is there (afk, in station or whatever).

Then you're highly risk averse, and part of the problem.

Its just impossible to me, i dont know.

It's not impossible, you just want a safety blanket. That's fine, but if changes like that were made you'd want to consider flying something else.

In my opinion, the best way for it all, is to delay the local chat in 15 second for every 0.1 security status. Instant f...

• How do you define defense only?
• What is unique EWAR?
• What class are these?
• What niche do they fill?
• How do we balance them?
• Are we prepared to wait a substantial amount of time for new ship designs?

These are just a few questions that come to mind in like 10 seconds of thinking - this is why it's often best to look at what you already have and iterate, change things up, work with what's already there.

Dumping new ship classes into the game shouldn't be something we just "do". There's enough ship classes right now that are struggling to find their roles.

We should use them.

Apart from FAX, which I'd just delete if it was my call, lol.

haha not my call :D

Holy sh*t dude it's been so long - you should speak to Demetri and join us on the Veto veterans discord we have going :D

Super nice to hear from you man, hope you're well <3

Damn, math has foiled me again.

Highsec Incursions have needed the nerf bat forever.

Yup.

Are there metrics about what type of ship people are using to rat? I think it would be really interesting to know if the reason bounties are so incredibly out of hand is because supers/titans are viable and extremely efficient for ratting, or if its the thousands of VNIs that are responsible for the majority of the faucet.

Yep, we have a lot of data to hand, and it's obscene how safe cap ratting is in null. It's not even funny, it's just depressing and needs to be fixed in my opinion.

And I'm curious, if you got your wish, and the ISK faucets in null dissapear, what do you envision would be the allure of null? I imagine there's some magic number(25% better than low, 30%, etc) where people would live there anyways, but is that known?

I'm not advocating for them to dissapear, or for them to necessarily chang...

I can neither confirm nor deny whether I've been shooting the sh*t out of people in nullsec.

I agree that there's another side to this, not denying that at all.

I just don't believe that ISK should come so easy in nullsec, and that the ISK faucets need to be hammered into the ground.

That said, I also think I'd take a serious look at the amount of ISK made from highsec incursions too.

Nullsec isn't the only issue.

Do you want three players online, because that's how you get three players online :D

This gif is simultaneously the best and worst thing ever.

yup!

I'm actually not really drinking much these days to be perfectly honest, just the odd bit of scotch here and there haha :)

I'm not handling EVE Updates any more since the end of Q1 this year, but I'll pass this on to the team that take care of it now and see what we can do for sure :)

I think it's a lot of things to be honest, there's some serious process that goes on during game design that I won't pretend to fully understand.

Then there's the actual work of design, programming, quality assurance and everything related to making things ship.

It's an incredible machine, and I've got endless respect for our guys and girls who do it :)
