Player Features and Ideas Discussion

This game really needs good isk sink.
Currently economy is slowly falling because prices are growing and growing.

Reasons for current situations are many :
- ships where boosted , more dps = faster and more efficient ratting
- smart bombing ratting fleets are all around renter space became quite common
- ships are dying ( each lost ship don't remove isk from game, just create it from the air )
- etc

Some drastic measures needs to be put in place.
This also have to be done without harming any current system - like LP Stores, or missions.
Please post your ideas here , maybe some Dev will look at this and put some of your ideas into actions


EDIT:

---

Please stop linking this thread to raising PLEX prices.
Plex is not created by players or obtained by any PVE activity.
If all people start to earn 50% less isk , and PLEX price will drop by 50% ,
there will be any real change for plex price.

There is no possibility that any ISK sink will reduce VALUE , again VALUE of the PLEX.
Price might drop, as there will be less isk, but it will be still MORE EXPENSIVE when you include your reduced
income.

1) Remove insurance

Lore reason: They're bankrupt, we've been scamming them for too long.

Actual reason: Player ship destruction shouldn't be an ISK faucet.

2) Double the ISK price of LP store items (and sec for tags)

Lore reason: They adjusted their prices for inflation. Consumer associations are protesting, but they have better lawyers.

Actual reason: We need moar ISK sinks.


3) Make NPC-owned gate travel cost some ISK.

Lore reason: The owners decided that the maintenance and operation costs should be paid for by the users.

Actual reason: We need moar ISK sinks and it would make Jita price dictation harder. Also rewards finding and using WH shortcuts. Sovspace would have no cost by default, but gates would increase sov bills and sovholders can set a usage price (up to a high but reasonable limit to prevent abuse).

Edit: maybe make it proportional to ship size, to avoid penalizing new players too much.

4) Make the broker fee of market order modification minimum a set amount of 2.5% of total items price +2.5% of individual item price.

Lore reason: Greedy brokers got greedier. Not much you can do.

Actual reason: We need moar ISK sinks and we don't like 0.01 isk wars.

This feels like a whine about plex prices in disguise.

Rather than try and create more isk sinks, why not go after one of the greatest instances of isk faucets?

Nerf, or completely remove insurance. It really is not justified in it's existence any longer.

I have literally no clue what you're trying to say here.

That ship insurance is less damaging to eve than excessive isk flow from ratting.

Dead Battleship = 100mil payout = 3 cleared sanctums.

And one of them is actually playing the game, and the other is a 100% passive isk faucet.

Income flowing into the game is acceptable.

And like I said above, the only reason insurance is still justified any longer is clone costs, which are being removed. It has no justification for it's existence.

I agree about removing ship insurance, but we have to put some protection on the new players.

Loosing a cruiser can be devastating hit for them, and we all know that they will mount EM hards, and use missiles and guns on their ships while trying to hit Gurista rats.

actuarial tables for insurance. if i tried to scam insurance as much as gankers, blobbers, botters/afk'ers etc do IRL, i'd have to be paying 10x as much or even be denied insurance.

parking fees for jita, sucked out of your wallet by the tick after undock delay.

spam fees in jita. you got something to say, pay for it, eve ain't 'murica.

gate tolls for congested systems, for que jumping reasons.

nullsec tollbooths, npc protection rackets, wartime tarrifs/surcharges so many that i'm too drunk to write up.
