" First ever zero PvP ’ No Pvp toggle’ battle fought in Eve. Today two fleets of 500 ships met in lowsec, and nothing happened. Then…for another half an hour, nothing happened. Then after a few minutes people started firing huge rounds of sarcasm and salty comments at each other. Using CCPs brand new ’ how much salt can you type’ scoring system…and subtracting points for rudeness…it was decided that Salty Corporation won the battle. No ships were lost and there were no killmails…which saved CCP having to re-create them "
I think he’s referencing the SSF mode with that comment, so that’s a different sphere of gameplay from big low-sec engagements. SSF players would basically be seen as “ghosts” in the game world (if at all), and vice versa.
As far as the OP’s consent form is concerned, most big battles happen over structures. I’m not sure that it would be feasible to make structures themselves immune to attack with some kind of “toggle” as that would lead to unchecked proliferation. If the mechanic is limited to ships only, then the attacking force would still engage the structure, and the defending force would choose whether or not to engage back, which is effectively how things are right now anyway.
Noo…I’m just sliding down the slippery slope before anyone else does. Do you really seriously think the ‘SSF mode’ would be the end of that line of whining ?
My support for it isn’t for the sake of ending whining, but rather to add a new archetype of gameplay to EVE. Similar to how I proposed a “hardcore” mode to be added a few months ago.
Getting ‘scrapped’ is a vital part of learning and - if you take it seriously - of improving yourself. Never engage with those equal to or less skilled than yourself; you’ll learn nothing.
There is no such thing as ‘a free world’. The very notion is ridiculous. All apparent freedoms are subject to limitations.
Hi Destiny, if EVE continues its current course, there will be no one else left, as you clearly realise. Then those proposing these daft schemes can wallow in mollycoddled mediocrity.
But I know that your heart is in the right place (or at least, I have it on good authority…)
Well, you can’t really know, since you don’t have experience with those modes. Both SSF (not the one discussed here but a true open-world SSF mode) and HC modes are challenge modes that would offer a significant increase to the game’s difficulty level.
Don’t be so silly. Your SSF mode is just an absurd single player version of Eve. One that really would not even require being online in a multiplayer game…huh.
There is nothing Massive, Multiplayer, or Online about such a game.
I’m sure we will all look forward to that story when you have time .
Talking of stories, been following the adventures Ami on YouTube , if I didn’t know better this sounds like Destiny has been running tutorials on how to Eve. Take a look
