What about a select able game mode were everyone can only choose from a list of premade fits that you do not have to buy but are kind of like starter fit that skills don't play a part in. Or maybe they can be paid for as you select them at spawn. All standard weapons, suits, equipment, vehicles, and modules. Of course there are way to many options to be able to fit every combination. Maybe just Caldari assaut, Gallente Scout, Amarr Heavy, and Minmatar Logi like the olden days. Leave out variations of weapons and only use basic equipment: nanohives, repair tools, needles and uplinks.
For example:
Assault AR AV Nanohive
Assault AR Locus Nanohive
Assault MD________
Assault MD_________
Assaut Swarms__________
Heavy Fg___________
Heavy HMG____________
Scout shotgun_________
Scout sniper__________
Logi MD_________
Logi AR__________
and so forth
Maybe 20-30 separate fittings for a mode where every combination wont be covered, but you would have to take the drawbacks and advantages of the select able premade fittings. It could create a game mode where player skill trumps sp and gear, and offers new players an even battle ground to try out 20-30 different options without sinking their sp into stuff while trying out a fair variety of different setups other than the 4 available to all players in every other match. I dunno, just off the top of my head. Could be impossible for developers to do easily, would rather them fix what is already not working.

Players need to choose their fits, I personally think segregation like I outlined is not very fun but because we are not allowed to choose where we go to fight I think being able to choose the difficulty is the next best thing.
Sure that would make sense to someone with experience in the eve universe, but wouldn't that just confuse newer players more than it would help them? The game mode I proposed could take the place of the academy, but after reaching a certain amount of WP or SP having the other modes available without the replacement going away. right now, the academy is supposed to be only for new players where they can only learn from each other. If it was replaced by one where everyone playing it was forced to use gear of all the same level new people could learn from experienced players with out being completely destroyed by better gear. It could even be single entry only where only team chat is an option. The player pool may not be populated enough to have a variety of difficulties. |
