The future of Havoc - now that Havoc is becoming yesterday's news, many are frustrated with its current state. Is it going to receive any further iteration, or should players learn to live with what they have?

  • Faction Warfare Frontlines brought increased conflict by condensing players into tighter areas, only for that to be undone by the sprawling insurgencies

  • Once corruption is sufficient to allow bubbles, these bubbles give a standings hit whenever a blue tries to warp out of one

  • Zarzakh was a bit underwhelming, both in its utility and the content it brought to the game

  • No clear incentive for empire militias to combat pirate insurgencies. Bubbles and bombs are fun, and having an insurgency in your enemies space is good for you as it distracts the enemy militia. However, distracting players away from the front lines just dilutes combat through proximity

  • The proliferation of awoxing. In my opinion this is just emergent gameplay, but many are frustrated by it. If FW was my primary activity, I'm sure it would irk me too

It would be a shame if CCP moved on to the next big thing without ensuring Havoc content was left in a state that felt satisfying to those that participate in it.

One of the main complaints I get from our videos is about the PVE side of things. Can CCP be asked to make more PvE content such as missions, maybe add new basic anoms in high sec for new players? It’s a constant question being asked on videos.

Will Vanguard eventually be opened to Alpha players? I think the module would benefit from higher player counts to help create more content, with monetization coming from cosmetics or other factors that wouldn't directly impact gameplay. There's nothing hardcore EVE vets like better than hunting scrubs so I believe this change would help the game.

State of sovereignty in nullsec. It's currently dominated by very large groups. N+1 is the best solution to every problem one could encounter within sov-warfare.

I'd love to see smaller groups being able to hold space without having to kneel before the big blocs.

Do I have an idea how to achieve that? Not at all. But I still would like to live to see it.

I have no idea why the probe scanner window is the only window where we can't use the radial menu. This sounds like a fairly simple fix. That would be such a nice QoL change for small gang roams and exploration.

Thanks for the suggestion and welcome to Just About EVE! We have an introduce yourself thread if you fancy saying hello to the community

Since the citadel Expansion, POSes have lost more and more of their Purpose and Tactical advantage they had, like in moon mining / reactions. In the 2024 roadmap CCP mentioned they are going to make sovereign space more important and strategic to hold, and CCP also mentioned in their website : "new technologies, features and mechanics" for sovereign space. Will this cause the final death of POSes or After all these Years Player controlled Starbases are going to receive some love?
