Factions
they have zero meaning. you can create your agent, log in, and leave your "faction" instantly, and joining a player corp. with a few EP spent, you can drive all 5 colors of robots, and use all weapons with the same efficiency.

first thing that came to my mind here: why not have for all the agents still being in one of the npc-corp a standard standing of at least 3.00 of that faction and a special reward bonus on NIC and tokens (like 50% more NIC and 2 times more tokens) for their missions.
If you leave that starter corp, only your the gained standing of the runned missions will count (may be difficult to implement) - or standing is even set completly to zero (because you are a traitor/deserter) - when leavingbthe starter corp a warning that tells you this should be given.
Just one possible side effect: the higher the standard relation to the starter corp less time/cost needed for production missions - good for new player experience.
Since you are not able to reenter that starter corp, those boni can not be used for advantages in PvP (corp-vs-corp meant here).

That's just asking for gold farmers or people to create unlimited trial accounts.

For PVP, need to create more opportunity for smaller scale engagements maybe introduce Unique buildings that give different bonus or some sort of limited resources(very limited # that spawn per day) to fight over. Colixium is a first step, but it's still widely available and it's unlimited as long as people are mining. Right now everyone can just sit in their own corner and do their stuff.

Gamma is nice but if you actually manage to kick someone off gamma, chances are a sizable number of their players will just quit. Not exactly good for the game.

For PVE/Industry, keep introducing new module/bots. Maybe a new faction of NPC to fight against that have a chance to drop elite equipments or drop "crystals" that could reinforce(aka upgrade) current equipment. Better missions that involve what hunter said, assault npc base etc.

Carebears stay for the grind that might get them something unique to brag about, like +20 dragonslayer or something.

PVPers stay for the opportunity to experience the adrenaline that comes from close fights or the slim chance of winning when the odds aren't in their favor.

So let's work together and help out the population instead of stomping corp/players to the ground.

The only thing that is going to help this game is a constant LARGE influx of fresh blood so the bitter vets / new players have other things to do besides bittervet activities like trolling the forums/killboards or fighting the same groups of people over and over. If players can't fight wars without "killing the game" something is seriously wrong with the game.

Also this isn't corporate discussion.

That's kinda my point. If trolling at least keep it in game, when it gets spilled to the public forums in almost every topic it would just turn away most of potential new players. Trolling have just gotten way out of control lately, it makes the community look like a bunch of 13 year old having a pissing contest. Most peple had enough of that in EVE, fortunately for that game they have the pop to afford it. However during its early years when they had pop problems it was the helpfulness of the community that helped EVE grow and become what it is.

It's DEV's job to fine tune and bring new contents to the game which hopefully attract new players. But the community is the glue which holds everyone together and give each other a reason to stick around, specially in a sandbox game.

And this is from a player's perspective, not representative of my corp/alliance but goes out to everyone and all sides.

Spark Teleport: how balanced will be an ability to bring half of assets to an enemy beta terminal while keeping aonther half at your home base and then quickly teleport here and there for attacking/defence? I mean, beta terminals have no access restriction, that will make beta-1 islands more harder to defend.

You still have to transport your robots, weapons and everything to the “enemy beta terminal”. And once those are used up you still have to do it again and again if you intend to use spark teleports like this. Correct me if I’m wrong but the only issue I see with this is more fights on beta, and robots getting destroyed. (IF this will really turn out as a viable strategy.)

It might not turn out as you envisioned, getting stuff into a beta terminal is piece of cake with current population and interzone teleport, just move during off hours.

The problem I foresee is there will be no engagements around the beta terminal as now you have no way of knowing how many enemy would instantly pop in. Ending in staring contests and dock up games.

Maybe if you make spark teleport expensive, like 10m or something.

Edit: Actually now i think of it, it could swing both ways. Just take what I mentioned into consideration.

I would like to see a way to reequip bots on the field, either by a new kind of bot or some other way. Could give a timer for changing each piece of equipment per Agent and can not while flagged to prevent abuse. Maybe also add molecular instability as well.

It could help promote pvp in the sense that a group of miners or pvers could be useful quickly against intruders and do not have to first dock up at the nearest terminal to regear. Everyone knows pve fitting is no match for pvp fittings. And those exposing their assets on the field is more often than not people pveing or mining. People would be more willing to fight instead of running or logging off if they know they at least have a chance of fighting back.

Also fleets can change and adapt to enemy strategies while on the move, providing a more challenging environment for all sides.

If we want something more ambitious, being able to redeploy bots would be even better smile

Thought it would be worth mentioning since you guys are thinking of adding more bots and equipment with upcoming patches.
