Things I would like to see changed:
1. Execution
2. No EVE alliance = No orbital!
3. Friendly FIre in FW
Why I like the Concept of PC:
This is a combination of points 1, 2, and 3 in my likes. These battles actually matter and the stakes are much higher than throwing away a bunch of ISK to pad personal stats. Tactics and strategy (which have been missing from Dust as of late) come into account because you can't just blob up and zerg everything and clones are finite.
What ruins PC:
Having the warbarge in PC is literally a spit in the face to everyone that bought UVTs and took the time to form an EVE alliance, plain and simple. Get rid of the warbarge and you'll see more Dust corps interacting with EVE players. If anyone complains, tell them "Welcome to New Eden." Besides, I've seen several good corps put in work without even needing an orbital. Having access should be a privilege for those with an alliance, not a right to all.
Also, in any battle that affects EVE influence, I would motion for FF to be turned on at all times. This is the kind of importance these battles need, along with higher rewards for those higher stakes. If you make this change, you'll see a lot of more tactically oriented corps rise in the ranks and not just pub stompers blobbing everything in Caldari Logi suits, Thukker Grenades and TAC ARs. (Yes people still run around with TAC ARs)
Edit: Defenders and Attackers in PC need to feel like defenders and attackers. Skirmish 1.0 would really help with this. Neutral territory could work as well if there were an implemented system where two sides engage on unclaimed territory.
Agree with the warbarge aspect of this (Not FF for FW)
What i like:
1- Concept and what we know atm of what the 'vision' is
2- A meta-gaming aspect is developing (steps need to be taken to nurture it)
- Some of the 'i would like to see' may help nurture this aspect... we just need more possibilities at this point to keep it interesting, because the vanilla model currently running for PC is getting boring, and will start to stunt the growth of metagame.
What i would like to see:
1- Raiding being a viable option/more ways to experience PC (Someone from EoN i believe made a good thread about this, hopefully it was already noted by CCP)
2- Elimination of war-barge OBs, force people to utilize their eve side (A lot of groups in PC have eve support or have access to it, but because of time delay with OBs, its easier/beneficial to just use a war-barge)... getting rid of it will help win EVE side as well, as the increased need will give rise to more fights eve-side.
3- More character in planets, i know you may not deal directly with this (and im sure it is in development), but give the system or planets people fight on more character, and maybe growing more sense of ownership and identification with places.
