There needs to be some plan, some path that new and small corporations can follow to play in this space. I'm trying real hard to see this "big picture", but just not seeing how to even get bootstrapped into what currently exists.

Unrelated note - Fox Gaden please ask your CEO to respond to the email about Legacy Rising :)

My CEO is my EVE Character. I had not realized that was you. I was going to get around to responding to it, but it slipped my mind after I spent all morning in meetings.

FW is not for new or small corporations, neither is it for big corporations.

Its is for loyal corporations.... but most likely we'll see the money grubbing ones all over the place.

No worries sir - just thought you might not have seen it yet. :) Take your time

Disagree - PC is for larger corps, but FW is for all, including small corps that want to have an impact in New Eden.

That's what True was getting at. FW is not designed for large corps nor small corps, but corps who want to have an impact and see a specific faction succeed (loyal corporations) or people looking for money.

And so his rise continues.

A...Legacy Rising...if you will.

Seeing your alliance tags is making me all nostalgic I really need to squad with you guys again I just lurk in your pub channel at the moment.

Yeah so as much as I don't want to be a douche....but this isn't a thread for your alliance talk..... there my inner douchiness is out....

On the other hand I seriously hope CCP is sneaking peeks at this thread as we update it and taking some of the better ideas down.

Especially the

Adding of diversity to the FW game modes

Mechanics of Planetary Battles

Attraction and Rewarding of EVE pilots

Immersion of large battles on a warlike scale.

More player accessibility

So on so forth ect etc etc.

CCP please do implement the ideas in this thread, it will add to the game. My suggestion would be once a working model is in place do a beta run within the community by adding it as an option in the special contracts tab. This will allow us all (at different skill levels) to try it out and supply feedback towards development before a full implementation.

I think that is a really goods suggestion for the implementation of this particular thread. I guess the next question comes as to when we can get some detailed input from the DEVGÇÖs, and on a side note; when are we going to be getting some detail on the new suits an weapons coming in 1.7 so that we can begin to discuss them?? Final models??

been away for a day but so glad this has become the threadnaught it deserves to be!

Love some of the additional ideas coming up and the enthusiasm for potential capsuleer involvement, BUT don't lose sight of the fact that for a speedy implementation only the bare bones idea is good for us right now, the rest would need to come later. The beauty of this idea is that it feels like it is do-able very quickly and that is what we all want

That said, keep the ideas flowing!!

I agree, some updates on 1.7 content would be nice, but let's try to stay on topic here.

Quote Limit.

Fair. I just had to throw that one out since I am feeling really good about the fact that the DEVs are watching this thread.

AS for the ideas, I think it is time to compile a listing of those initial features we are looking at presenting with it working down to the more advanced ones that can be implemented after the basic structure is inserted.

We have created quiet the mountain for the DEVS to sort through and climb. IF we are going to get this implemented, WE should take the initiative to sort through the content presented and create something that the DEVs can actually work with, i.e., a road map of sorts. If we can do that, what it will do is shine the light on specific features and the DEVGÇÖs would have an easier time of identifying the means of coding and getting them out to us that much faster since a mass majority of the work in conceiving the scaffolding is just waiting to be assembled. No cut pile necessary in carpenter like analogies.

It is almost a prefab house. Pick up the pieces and put them together. Fine tuning being of an absolute necessity, but the major lifting that is conceptualizing the building is done. Also this thing we call being recognized for the mass amounts of brain power that we are putting to work or the only payout as being the enjoyment of this game and the escape from our own existences for portions of our existence.

I will start to work on one version, if I can get Booker, Aero (but of course the OP) and all of the other major contributors to do the same. Then we could at least arrange a time to meet online in squad and talk this over on coms or something of the like.

What do you think?

When waiting on the War Barge between battles CCP needs to make sure that Local Chat is set to the system the War Barge is in, and not the MercGÇÖs home system.

This would mean that the MercGÇÖs on both sides in the conflict, as well as all the EVE pilots in the system, would be in the same chat channel.

It would give a chance to say GÇ£Good FightGÇ¥, or to do some trash talking.

I think it would help to make DUST feel just a little less like GÇ£just a lobby shooterGÇ¥, and give a little more of an MMO feel. Besides, technically this is how it is supposed to work. Admittedly, I have not checked Local during a battle to see if I am in that systemGÇÖs local.
