How to make events better, with more people.

I like this idea alot..

 

I think one of the reasons they haven't implemented excellent ideas such as this is the fact that they are still trying to get all the systems back online or even fix the systems we have now. If I remember correctly, they reduced their staff a bit ago for cost savings. This may have put them behind a bit.

The big question now is, what is to become of EU and ideas such as yours, now that we have the new guy in place. I seem to recall him saying hes trying to bring in a lot of new players with in a certain time frame. Pluss I think space is in it's infancy so it could be a huge chunk of their time finishing that. In all likelihood, your idea and some others I have read, will play an important part in moving towards that goal..

It may just be a matter of time where we can say "Hey soc mate, whatcha up to? I'm heading to the "RAZERS Den" for some kick ass fun!!"

 

Hi,

Love the idea. A simple, basic space station with maybe 4 large domes and a big "social event area" (theater, concert hall, cat walk ...). Each of the domes would have a small stage, and an own music streaming. As well as a repair terminal, and a trade terminal only offering ammunition and probes.
Each planet would have a small "control room" there, where the TP's (from the planet) go to, with a repair terminal & planet specific storage and trade terminals. You can only access the one control room belonging to the planet you came from (maybe you'd get kind of no-drop badge when arriving?).
No doors there, all movement is done with teleporters/ televators, so it's easy to restrict which areas you can access.

A lot of things could be done there:

1. Interplanetary hunting/ mining/ PvP events like the one discussed in the Survey Thread. Different domes could be used for different difficulties/ tiers, if needed. The celebration of the winners could be done in the big central "social event area".
2. Interplanetary social events, like a "Mister EUniverse contest", competition of participants movies, maybe even sponsored music events, could be held there, too. In the "social event area".
3. Each Planet Partner would have the opportunity to show its newest mob creations to the astonished EU community, they'd have maybe a week every three months to do so.
4. "Test drives" of new monsters could be made there to avoid unpleasant surprises ...
5. And participants, Societies, everybody, could buy time there for birthday parties, radio events, private hunting events, whatever. As long as there's an area available, and some PED's are paid.
6. (Just realize I have forgotten crafters. Well, something for crafters, too!)

This would be a place in a parallel universe, not reachable by spacecraft. The teleporters (at every main city on any planet) to it would only be active at event time, and might require an event/ Soc membership for certain cases.

This could be reset once an event is done, could be configured then suitable to the next one. It could have special rules any other time. Since it's a quite small area, downloading the dynamic data once when entering shouldn't be this much of a problem.

For sure, it has to be certain that no cheap planet travel is possible this way, nor cheap interplanetary trade. This should be quite easy.
(If it's necessary at all ...)

IMHO such would be a win-win. For everyone. MA would have the opportunity to hold interplanetary events, the PP's would be able to showcase their creations in a fair competition, it could be used like a "test server", participants and Soc's could have interplanetary events for a fee.
And for us all it would be a welcome distraction from our daily grind every now and then.

Have a good time!

 

that would also be a great place to meet ppl from your soc which moved to other planets..

or customers :D

 

but then when you hunt in a team and want to share loot afterwards, how you do that if you can not trade?

 

oh oh oh a concert hall for digital live music shows sign me up!!!!!

I'll even be willing to see if I could find musicians to fill time slots (would proably fail as my contact list is over a year outdated but could try)
