IMMEDIATE CHANGES
Scout Love:
Give scouts a scan resistance buff. Proto scout suits +1 enhanced resistance mod should beat any scanner. Scouts have a miserable existence now with paper thin armor/shields. They may be fast but rarely do I see them out run auto aim. The least we could do to make scouts viable again to give them near invisibility.
It's too close to 1.7 to judge anything else at this point.
CHANGES FOR 2014
Sec Stat/Pubstomp penalty:
Make the security status meaningful and reduce protostomping by creating a penalty for running proto gear in a public matches. Use a similar structure used in EVE (High=1.0, Low=.05, Null=0.0 Sec) and allow players to designate the status rates they are willing to participate in. similar to the toggles currently used for Pubs and FW. The penaly should apply to use of any proto gear (suits, weapons, modules) but not to equipment as they are primarily support gear (if the best anyone is running is standard, might as well let them scan/rep/resupply at full rate).
Sec Status/Acceptable Gear:
High Sec-mil/std gear to be used at no penalty, penalty for running advanced & proto gear.
Low Sec-mil/std/adv gear at no penalty, lower penalty for running proto.
Null Sec-No penalty.
Penalty for not using sec stat appropriate gear would be:
High Sec-Loss of fit and fine isk at 1.25 (maybe 1.5) times what was earned in the match.
Low Sec-Loss of fit.
Null Sec-No penalty.
This should reduce pubstomps by basically making them akin to suicide ganking in EVE. Players still have the freedom to run whatever they want, but there will be a cost associated with it. In the event that the offending player does not have the .25-.50 isk in his account, the fine should be charged to the players corporation, making the corporations liable for member actions and make them police their own while also preventing the use of pocket accounts for isk.
Battle Arena Game Mode:
Create a game mode that matches players by lifetime sp, like a responsible fight club. For new players, this would be like a second tier Battle Academy experience, and for vets a place to test skill against comparable players (bragging rights). Leader boards from these matches would help with corp recruitment as well as provide a footage for the Battle Feed idea below. I also see this as a great precursor environment to PVE.
Remaining Racial Suits:
Please release the rest of the suits. I would love to see a Caldari scout and Amari assult suites. Filling out the holes in the the Dropsuit tree could make a more vibrant battlefield and possibly create some needed new character roles.
Vehicle Locks:
Create a tier in the Vehicle Command skill tree for vehicle locks. I am open to the locks being either skill based or vehicle modules.
Level 1-Allow Lock option to keep non-squad players from entering your vehicle.
Level 3-Lock option and allow recall option with players still in vehicle (player in vehicle returned unharmed to MCC/deploy screen)
Level 5-Lock Option/Recall w/ Player option and add remote recall option, allowing vehicle owner to recall vehicle from anywhere on the battle (player in vehicle returned unharmed to MCC/deploy screen)
LOOKING FORWARD
Scout Commando Suit:
Scout suit that double wields sidearms. I imagine fits with 2 smg's, nova knife/Scrambler pistol, 2 flaylocks, CQC would never be the same...as long as the player could get close enough to the action.
Mine LAV's
LAV's that, instead of fitting cannons, deploy proximity or AV mines. These could quickly create minefields in high traffic routes and close off open flanks. It would also be sweet to whip out to the redline and leave some presents for snipers.
Battle Feed:
Instead of running the market screen in Merc Quarters, play footage from running battles or video from PC matches. Home Shopping Network is getting boring!
Stock Market & Mobile App:
P2P assest sales, access to EVE economy and open corporation stock markets with associated mobile app so we can trade away from my console.
Planetary Cannon Control:
Taking control of a planetary cannon and taking some shots and EVE players would be AWESOME! Turnaround is fair play as far as I'm concerned, and securing a couple of objectives to supply power to a cannon that shoots back at orbital droppers would be nice.
Corp Suit Customization:
Allow corps to create their own std bpo fits for sale to corp members. Corps could purchase subscriptions to these custom blueprints from the market and resell the individual fits to the corp member. While not completely free like bpo's, I do see a charge for these fits paid to the corp, funds of which would pay for the bpo subscription. Customization should include color selection as well as dropsuit/weapon/mods/equip.
Ship Board & Conquer:
Like this needs explaining!
Physic Changes:
Not every planet in the universe is the same size & mass. Gravity should not be uniform across all battlefields. |
