I would love to see more effects in systems across New EDEN. However, some players have voiced opinions that it can have a detrimental effect on load times depending on player count in said system.
Is it possible to see more systems with various effects in null sec? It provides a good curveball on certain fleets engaging in certain areas.
I am personally in favor of more system effects.
System effects are a bad idea in general
It’s only a load time issue for people with win 7 potatoes or folks who run eleventy accounts. I’d much rather have CCP improve graphics and coolness for normal players rather than cater to the aspie armies.
He’s likely referring to effects that alter ship attributes.
Didn’t they recently announce new sovhub system effects?
I like the idea, just don’t think the ‘special’ effects should be in too many places as it won’t be special anymore. With wormhole effects, roaming storms, some NPC system-wide effects and sovhub upgrades I think we have plenty.
What Id like to see is not system effects but grid effects, if itd even be possible, within systems at various places in the dead areas of space beyond celestials or between empty space areas. Making these scannable with various grid effects such as the WH style effects, security sec variances and resulting interesting gameplay options.
Stuff like that would really be interesting especially on larger than normal grids with multiple entry points to said grids and then impulse or on grid warping/MJD options available.
Will you find lawless space ripe with rewards and people waiting to kill you? Will you find something cool to salvage, hack or mine? Will it be filled with angry NPCs hellbent on wanting you dead? Direct WH to another system?
But again I wonder if its even possible to code.
