In the spirit of keeping the game fair for all involved, there needs to be significant balance factors.

As a new player who goes to fight, it is very discouraging and unfair for older players to risk as little as they do. Newer players risk involves being new to the game. That is enough. Older players who know every game mechanic and use them unfairly should have to risk more to help balance the fight.

We need new pilots clone costs to be added to older players to help even this disparity out. So if you are a older player and pod a player younger than you, then their clone upgrade cost will be added to your clone upgrade costs the next time you are podded. That way older pilots are not purposely hunting younger pilots looking for that easy kill.

It would be way more amusing if it worked both ways.

Just to try and get more information regarding this topic, by "new and old players" are you referring to:

How long the human has been playing the game

-or-

The age of the character

-or-

The age of the account

Because I think this is a fabulous idea if you mean the last option of "age of the account". Now I will simply transfer my character to a fresh account whenever my clone cost + the cost of the loser in my PVP engagements meets or exceeds that of the cost of a PLEX in-game.

Thank you.

I do not know to take you for real or just laugh at this idea....
Plus what is the cost of a younger player clone? less then a mill? For older players that less then pocket change..

Also can we make all players of a certain sp capped and their ships auto self destruct every 48 hours even if they eject/trade them?

This seems fair and relevant. Exclude me and my alts from this change though ccp.

The value of an empty POD on the killmail should be the value of it's clone.

My alts have free death all the time. And free clones too.

So you want to effectively punish older players for playing the game in the event that they happen to interact violently with newer players during the course of it?
