Assembly Hall

So before you see the name and think "oh not this again," I think I have a good proposal here

Mass restrictions inside NPC/nullsec stations:

This will effectively jita proof the game, thus allowing the server to focus more on places where stuff is actually happening. Let's be real, 50000 jump freighters would NOT fit in any station, so this is essentially a proposal for more realism.

The secondary option is having outer docking points at stations, and making players orbit the station until one is open. The end game goal is to even out the market, taking from Jita where nobody can ever seem to jump in, and allow the server to shift for battles more swiftly. I'm sure someone with programming skills could make a system shifter so that if a spike happened the server would support it and prevent tidi form happening when an alliance is not trusting CCP to tell them when their attacks will happen.

This would also apply to nullsec stations, but members with access could "ping" the station before cynoing or docking to make sure there is space. Let's be real, if this was a real space, that would be the way it happened, you could send the tower a mail saying you'll be there in x time and they would say either there is a bay or not, and the pilot would either wait or find somewhere else to sell their wares/dock up.

There are scams, hacks, bots, and whatever the new craze going on in jita and team security just can't keep track of them and stop them all. This proposal would not only help aid that, but make the market more stable. Less like the NYSE and more like the worldwide market. It would also force players to go to different markets to sell their loot (more balance) also, helping to bring up emerging markets.

Another offshoot, or secondary effect, would be missioners would be able to go to any system or region, not just one close to jita to do their business.

Haulers would be more in business, hauling goods from a low sell to a high buy system (also allowing scammers to have more systems to play their games in)

Watch certain groups effectively "blockade" every single trade hub. Simply dock up a whole bunch of freighters/Orcas/Battleships and never undock.

And you can't force them to undock without creating more "rules" on who can dock and for how long (because the game's code won't be able to discern "intent").

To derail the topic even further - please make the stations at least look larger than the ships coming out of them.

Undock a Naglfar from an Amarr factory station. You'll immediately see what I mean. I'm guess the Amarr have mastered the whole "bigger on the inside" thing.

Well something should be done to increase the realism of the game, because I agree with the big ships and null stations. I <3 forum trolls. poor little things think likes actually increase their rate of SP gain.

Id take a but of both, larger stations, and still having mass restrictions.

oooooooooorrrr..... how about docking fees? because I know if I dock my boat it costs money to keep it tied to the pier.... how about that? that would discourage the goons (let's be real it would only be them trolling stuff) from station spinning if they were getting charged 1isk/m3/hr for their ship being in a station in game, and maybe having a 1isk/1000m3 for outer (less secure) docking outside the station. Or even an orbital unloading feature for freighters so they dont even have to dock up if it is just to unload and dump goods.... let's see what trollville has to say about that

when players start complaining about it, that means its a viable solution.

I'm sure there's a way to make it work. This is simply a proposal I had based off a problem I see in game.

the definition of troll is berating someone's ideas without giving a better ides of your own....


So let's see what you have that's better, at least I'm trying. If my ideas are bad then yours must be worse if you're not sharing.

and the solution to your station trader issue, if you would read and analyze instead of reademoragenoitwontworkeverevereverevertrollnonononoooomgholycrap is that there would be a function that would allow you to unload your cargo, and then simply put on the market or sell from space. this way a JF wouldnt have to pay holy crap fees for docking up every twenty minutes, and also allow the mass of a station to stay well under the max limit. like I ALSO said, fot those of you in the cheap seats next to the windows with the helmets on, the outer docking stations would be a lower fee, but would keep a player in space, but close enough to the station that you wouldnt be noticed (I would even be a fan of a station safety cloak for those docked on the outside). players not logged in would not count until a half hour after they logged in, and if the station was overloaded, the ships that have been in the station for over a day would be moved to the outer docks, and then after two days would be undocked and put into an orbit around the station until they paid the daily docking fee. I know goons would try to manipulate the system, but after a while the markets would just level out to the point where it would not matter. I also like Ripard Teg's idea of allowing us to search the entire market from anywhere in game.

+1

again, with the emo i dont know how to read rage... if you log out for a while and come back in, you have that initial hour or so to figure out what you want to do with your items that were put into storage. Standing with the corp could have an effect on it too, say since I have +10 with SOE i can have a slot for no charge, stuff like that.
