What would make for interesting ways to search for good salvage?
Legion:
- Directional Scanners detect salvage sites and drones
- Loot signature profile inversely proportional to value
- Variable salvage times
- Neutral & Hostile Drones with signature profile proportional to level of danger
- Players may deploy semi-autonomous salvage drones from (specialized) vehicles
- Loot scanning vehicles modules for HAV, Derpships, etc
EVE:
- Legion-side salvaging creates a beacon visible by pilots. Range of beacon is determined by sec-status of the system
- Pilots scan temperate planets or systems for beacons
- Corp pilots sitting on a beacon grant a bonus to Legion-side scanning
- Pilots may scan planet surface for drones types present
- Pilots sitting on the beacon may deploy ground support: [friendly/ neutral/ hostile] planetary salvage drones, vehicles, CRU's, etc.
- EVE pilots may compete with Legion players for salvage
What kind of player interactions do you think would be interesting?
Legion:
- Keep it open world
- Planetary salvage beacon allows EVE pilots to hunt or assist other players
- Salvage should require logistic support; make it equally important to protect your hoard of loot as well as search for moar loot and extract said loot
- Player corporations should have PVE standings allowing "shoot on sight" mechanics, etc.
- High-sec aggression punishable by Concord Orbital Strike
- High-sec aggression allows any EVE pilot to deploy hostile drones to the planet (intent to kill aggressors and take their loot)
- High-sec aggression effects corporation PVE standings
- High-Sec aggression turns neutral drones hostile
- Low-Sec aggression turns neutral drones hostile
- Low-sec aggression allows any EVE pilot to deploy hostile drones to the planet (intent to kill aggressors and take their loot)
- Easy, battle-friendly system for quickly moving loot between loot extraction vehicles and/or players
EVE:
- Pilots may deploy their own [friendly/ neutral/ hostile] autonomous planetary salvage drones
- Pilots may assist in Legion equipment, clone and loot extraction
- Pilots of same corporation connected to beacon grant Legion side scanning bonuses
- Pilots connected to district may drop x number of orbital strikes every x minutes
- Pilots needs to be able to aim their own Orbital Strikes in addition to taking coordinates from Legion
How do you think drones should behave?
Legion:
- Diversity is key to avoiding boredom in PVE
- Drones should be varied in all possible ways (size, sig, eHP, damage, speed, race, and particularly role)
- Drones compete to salvage loot alongside players
EVE:
- pilot deployed drones function autonomously on the district
