I have removed this topic because of unprofessional remarks regarding an idea that some people find they can’t handle. Hope you all sleep better.. thank you
It would be cool if the AI played the game while you are AFK!

I would think that although that would be a nice addition sadly it would be outside of their rules regarding gameplay. although it does sound nice, it would takeaway the purpose of the game.
I don’t even know what this means. How can you have a market in EVE Online without interacting with other players? You know most items on the market come from other players?
But it doesn’t matter as such a thing will never be implemented in this game. Wanting some type of alternate reality where you are 100% cut off from other players – why would you need that? What’s the rationale for asking for such a thing?
As far as the NPC fleet members – if you need stuff hauled or mined, you can have other players do that for you. There is no need to invent some NPC hauler/miner for that purpose.
He wants to buy stuff from the solo Jita portal. Well, technically he wants his AI controlled bot to purchase the items for him.

It means you are still playing an online instance of the game being that the market is still player bases but that the players themselves are not visble to the active player at that specific time. It could be a mechanic that the market isn’t even available during that time if CCP decides and that transactions would be unavailable until a return is made to the normality of the quantum effects in place during that period. The bots arnt able to use the market that is plain silly. They would be hired hands only. It’s not too hard to see the idea and potentials. The quantum effect would have to be limited to a set space (system) if it was indeed applied in the game. The ideas where meant to allow solo activities but also update the server as a normal instance would but take other strains off the server and let players effectively have a personal yet equally active game session with AI help or friends.
I’m assuming it’s both ways? The one in the ‘‘quantum instance’’ would not see other players, and the other players wouldn’t see him either? You would be in EVE, but all players and player-originated items, actions would vanish?
Yes, although all available mission types would be available to the player within the active system only. If a corp is at war then any available AI fleet possibility is cancelled at the time a war comes into effect and I until that war is over. The market data is active for buying but any selling prospect is unavailable at that time also.

CCP should sell ‘Eve Online - Solo Edition’ to players who want a single player game.

They could but it would need to be downsized dramatically because of the map size and system requirements. It would make much more sense to use the infrastructure already in place and build off of it and utilise the servers.
You’re clearly not intelligent enough to take part in an adult conversation so I clearly don’t care what you think.
and i reported your post for openly wanting to break teh EULA and use botting/macro abilites to play the game…
you are the child, and you need to be deleted/banned/ganked whatever from this game…
your idea of “modern” is anathema to EvE and its core gameplay…
you want to play solo…go play X4, go play SWOTR or STO or any other game that gives you such companion bullshite…
take you woke, millenial liberal crap and shove it up your arse!!

Ignored….
I already explained so I guess I can’t do much more than say read back and hopefully it may become clearer. A partially active market is still driven by players they are not excluded. I am not using haulers to haul to market they are for the industrial aspect of mining, to drop your player cargo to the system station of your choice for you to sell later. Hopefully that clears that up a little. This was just an idea but clearly people are getting frustrated because they don’t understand it doesn’t break any game mechanics.
This has to be a troll. I mean… no… troll for sure.
+1 for making me shake my head and typing all this.
Thank you for your input. I am not a troll I am simply sharing an idea. How am i a troll?
This is a bad idea and you should feel bad.
The worst part about Elite Dangerous is that it has an option just like you suggest, access to the player market but no other players visible. It completely removes any risk from the players who choose the safe mode, and makes the unsafe mode just about unplayable because it’s just instant ganking. PvE exists to feed PvP, but just like hares and foxes irl, you need the predation to be spread out. EVE has a good balance (it could use more predators, but that’s a natural effect of the declining player count), Elite would have had a good balance if it didn’t have the stupid safety mode.
Please unsubscribe from EVE and go play Elite instead. You’ll like it more, and we won’t have to read these awful suggestions.
