randomly reshuffling the entire map without warning and then mic dropping out for a month while it goes down
We can extract and eject skill points, why canât we extract implants using some special purpose tool?

From what I know of New Eden and EVE so far, I think a new playable race with as many new ships as the other factions, their own space ( so new constellations ) stations, weapons, ammo and agents would start a gold rush towards the new planets/moons/belts and it would give new life to the game. In my opinion which isnât worth 3 cents so thatâs my 2 cents

Hard pill to swallow: if EVE has a new golden age, you wonât be part of it, because youâre too old.
When EVE launched the internet was a ânewâ thing for most people, and MMOs were the hottest new product. EVE was unlike anything else, and was the most hardcore MMO in existence. Every 15 to 25 year old with a PC and a penchant for gaming wanted a slice of that pie, and for about 10 straight years the game grew to ever greater heights on the back of sweaty nerds who could justify spending 12 hours straight sieging an opponent.
Then, and Iâm not even kidding, people started to get jobs, girlfriends, wives, kids, mortgages, businesses, and so on. CCP failed to market EVE to new generations of gamers, and the peak was about 5 years too early for the streaming revolution.
The final nail in the coffin was CCP going full derp mode killing off the expansion in favour of non-newsworthy periodic updates, selling to PA, introducing the abyss, the assault damage control starting the HAC meta, scarcity during covid, cloak nerfs, and finally industry changes giving us the 400m BS and the 7bil dread.
Thankfully weâre starting to see derp mode get walked back. But the reality is if somehow CCP was to take it up a gear and really revamp the game for a new generation of players, you wouldnât be the one attending all the red pen CTAs. You wonât be out there in a huge fight for 12 hours straight, threatening to tickle someoneâs nose hairs with your shoe over comms because they just bubbled half your fleet, and it wouldâve been nice if the bubble trapped the enemy fleet.
Youâre done, those days are over.
The best you can hope for now is to follow in the graceful footsteps of Mike Azariah, and buy a franchise in the Magic Bus to help all the noobies get their start, just like you did. Perhaps you can join the CSM and vlog to us from your comfy garden chair as the wind blows your wind chimes. Perhaps you might do a Dunk Dinkle run a big alliance full of wide eyed newbros, and greet the recruits with a video where you eat spicy chips, do some questionable shots, and maybe later show us your honeybee harvest or the latest loaf of bread youâve baked.
But another golden age? Really? Can you even drink that much monster energy with the blood pressure and heart medications youâre on? Do you even WANT that? Câmon be honest with yourselves, you hate that big whale of a Titan as it is, assuming you didnât sell it already.

This is just nonsense. Thereâs no such thing as a âgeneration of gamersââŚand it is absurd to suggest that the only people playing Eve when it came out were 15-25 year olds. Five years before Eve even came out I was playing TFC and Counterstrike with 60-70 year oldsâŚyou know, the people who had been playing computer games since the early 80s. At every stage of Eve, there will have been people of all ages joining. The notion that thereâs some now exhausted supply of 15-25 year olds from the early 2000s and nobody of that age ( or older ) joined since is just patently false.
Even if true (and it is in quite a few cases for bittervets), it doesnât mean that said people wouldnât enjoy being a part of more âbuzzingâ game. In other words, even if oneâs 12-hour âpatrolâ runs are a permanent thing of the past, if the game were more active and alive and buzzy, more of the kind of people youâre describing would enjoy being around the game, even if their own activities in it were different from what they were 10-15 years ago.
All I want is Project Legion/Dust 2.0/whatever to not be a P.O.S. and have a link to EVE.

I think your response can be summarized as âI donât want to believe it, therefore I will declare it untrueâ.
However I have proof: Historical player age distribution in EVE Online (2003-2014) - YouTube
Watch that video and youâll see that in terms of age range Iâm spot on (peak between 16 and 25, UK high school leavers and college through university age) and whatâs more, you can watch that curve shift to the right over time. What that means is that beyond a certain point, EVE wasnât replenishing itself with fresh faced new players at a replacement rate, and thus the audience began to skew older. Then there is a pronounced drop-off after 32, which happens to be the average age when people reach financial stability and buy a house.
With an increase in age comes an increase in commitments, which arenât great for red pen CTAs. Persistent single universe MMOs live on red pen CTAs.
Or, to put it another way, âMillennials killed EVE Onlineâ.

Showing your age there Destiny.
the only DIVINE RIGHT TO RULE THE UNIVERSE BELONGS TO THE AMARR EMPIRE!
Btw maybe CCP can encourage these fights be having the EMPIRES go to war with some corporations and the FW people can fight for more high sec space and low sec people fight to keep it low sec?
also empires would be for the little guys not wanting to be part of the donut

I pick up the thread and place it firmly back on the railsâŚ
Maybe if the developers played any these games;
- Prosperous Universe
- Elite Dangerous
- Eve Online
- No Manâs Sky
Then they might get an idea or two to improve this one⌠oh? whatâs that you say?
Yes, I included Eve Online in that list, I am positive the developers have never sat down and played the game. It is my opinion, they only pop into God Mode for testing and debugging. I donât think there is going to be any new golden age for this game or any other. Most games get one shot, then it is all downhill from there.

Hi and welcome to the forums
The changes were made to slow down miners due to how quick and easy it was to hop into the pilot seat of those huge barges suited for lowsec.
Then letâs not forget the petitions that would flood their inbox with;
Amarr Victor !! Always !!
I think thatâs a very interesting, but also a very challenging design idea, especially the lowsec < > hisec switch possibility in, letâs say, clearly defined border areas, or e.g. hisec islands on the map. Thereâs a certain pipe system between Amarr and Jita that just spontaneously popped up in my head, lmao, would be great if the players could decide via combat what security it had for the next x days.
