1. EVE Vanguard
i have it downloaded, i myself havent played it yet but will be playing it in the coming days as i am a veteran of the IMO better vanguard (Dust 514). and seeing as i loved dust 514 and was hoping that they would of stuck with that project until sony killed it. so far my only impressions are simply by watching my friends play it and watching streamers play it. i think it looks like a very fun game and hope that CCP takes it as far as they did Dust 514, as for the bidirectional connection that it has planned with EVE im all for it!! 100%!!
do i think it will attact more players? i think that if CCP does a good job with it and follows up with community imput i think it will attract a lot of new players especially the FPS crowd, and who knows maybe a % of those players would be interested in seeing what EVE is actually like, but this is gully reliant on how well they implement the bidrectional status of the game. make the game more multiplayer based, if dust supported 36 players back in 2014 then i dont see why dust couldnt support lets say 48 two teams of 24, mix that in with EVE players being able to coordinate with Vangaurd corps to provide orbital/atmospheric support and i think that they will of struck gold.
2. Information & ISK itemization
ive seen and read over youre post, i think that if you can transfer PLEX which is much more valuable into youre cargo hold then i dont see any reason as to why you shouldnt be able to transfer ISK into youre cargo hold. it adds another level of immersion into the game, much like from popular scifi in the Andor series, we see rebles stealing imperial credits, the same kind of *immersion* could be added to EVE online. i can already think that the Ganking/Pirating communities would absolutely love it as it would make their already impressive kills even juicier if they see a cargohold full of ISK.
as for pitching it to CCP, look im down to pitch anything to CCP as long as the Community that being you and every other capsuleer that i want to rep is behind it, while i think that there might be some pushback to it, i think that if we think tanked it there would be no reason for me to propose the idea to CCP and the rest of the council. change isnt always a bad thing, and it can lead to better gameplay/loops
3. Production Plans
YES!! 100% to this, this is something that many production players have mentioned and brought to my attention, even within my own corp. look EVE online is as complicated game as you want to make it and i treasure that, but that doenst mean that every player wants to go through the rigamarol of attemping to figure it out. i think that combining BPOs into a finalized package could be really cool. for a couple of reasons…\
- it looks more attractive to players wanting to get into production if they know that they can create A singular BPO of a fully finished product
- i could revolutionize the BPO markets
- its considerably more attractive to the consumer if they can purchase a full BPO worth more then have to buy several BPCs
- gankers would love it as once again kill logs would become INCREASINGLY PRICEY
- i think it would only be achivable if there was some sort of new skill set added into the game. say BPO packaging or something along those lines, where at lvl five you could make the BPO of a fully flushed out item
as for 3rd party developers, that something that we would have to discuss with CCP but again i think that if there is enough support for it from the community i dont see why they wouldnt allow it and yes i would 100% pitch the idea to CCP if and when it gets fully flushed out, industrialist would love…ITS TIME TO SEIZE THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION!! haha
i hope that this has helped answer some of youre questions, if not feel free to reach me here, or via the ingame mail system. i think you have some pretty cool ideas and id enjoy talking more about them!!
the good news is my ideas dont matter, its YOURE ideas, the players that matter! the roll of the CSM as ive now understood is to Represent the players to CCP not the other way around! im fully conviced that working together i can represent you to CCP!!
dont forget to vote, this years election is very important
