In my last thread, I laid out how I think players should be able to enter into different battles, rather than being randomly placed, players choose which battles to engage in.
Here I'd like to detail the many different kinds of battles I would love to see in Legion, and that I believe would be possible to do, as well as how they would be integrated into EVE. Some of these choices are made with the thought that in the EVE fanfest, they said they wanted to make every NPC space station/ship in the game destroyable if enough player resources were put towards it, so I'm going to assume battles can take place anywhere in EVE.
First, the battlefields where battles can take place:
Salvage Grounds
NPC Owned Planetary Districts
NPC Owned Space Stations
Player Owned Planetary Districts
Player Owned Space Stations
Types of battles that can happen in these places
Resource Raid
Capture and Control
Who can issue contracts for these battles to happen
NPC Corporations
Player Corporations (both eve and legion)
Factional Governments
What can we expect? (how to make losing stuff fun)
From Resource Raid battles:
Players gather in groups to take temporary control of areas within the battleground, resources are tagged, and then teleported away. Resources such as raw materials, spaceship/dropsuit modules/weapons/equipment, and production blueprints are stolen from the NPC/Player corporation that had those resources in the District/Space Station, or the Salvagable resources available at the salvage site are gathered. Factional governments get to be more interesting with different kinds of battles taking place in the faction warfare.
Players who take part in these gain a share of the salvage in addition to any isk payment as per the contract. Workking for NPC corporations and Faction Governments can gain loyalty points as well.
This gives more depth to NPC vs NPC corp battles, and gives players ways of targeting NPC corporations and other Player Corporations
From Capture and Control battles:
This would be similar to planetary conquest as it is in dust, except that all player owned space stations and planetary districts would be open to attack.
NPC corporations already battle for control of districts, so do factional governments, and so do some player corporations, so lets kick it up a notch.
Player coroporations can try to take NPC districts, and if they're ballsy enough, government districts from a faction. Of course, NPC corps might ignore player corps who keep battling over certain districts, but when a player corp attacks an NPC corp, the NPC corp remembers it, and starts issuing contracts to take back the district, and also to attack other districts owned by that corporation.
Then of course we have space stations! Why should battles only happen on planets? WIth cloaking fields, and space stations all over the place, and with CCP outright saying these will be able to be destroyed after some future update, why not have these things also be able to be taken over. EVE corps being able to contract out Legion players to take over enemy coporations POS as a first strike in an EVE war, so many possibilities!! |
