Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'm not really sure whether insurance is an ISK faucet or an ISK sink. If nobody spent any ISK getting their ships insured then yes, it would be an ISK faucet because there's ISK entering the economy whenever someone gets their ship blown up. On the other hand if there are lots of pilots ensuring their ships beyond the default level but not getting those ships blown up at all, it's an ISK sink since the money for insurance is paid to an NPC entity.

Possible ideas to reduce ISK in the economy:
Remove insurance payouts unless the pilot has explicitly ensured their ship
Reduce NPC bounties in L4 missions, nerf vanguard payouts by ~5%
Raise NPC corp taxes to 20-25%
Change refining collaterals in highsec stations into monetary fees reduced by NPC corp standings

you forgot :

remove moon goo
remove bigger roids in 0.0
remove lvl 5 missions
remove bigger bounty npc ships in low and null

edit:
and if there are indeed so many botters in EvE ,ban them ,biomass or crucify their avatars on the Jita and Amarr monuments

Moon goo: Doesn't create ISK
Bigger roids: Don't create ISK
lvl 5 missions: Okay, I don't really care about those, but I seriously doubt they contribute to inflation all that much
Large bounty NPCs in low/null: Absolutely not. Null income for individual alliance members is disproportionally low as it is, and null NPC bounties don't contribute nearly as much to inflation as lvl 4 missions do.

As for the botters, CCP's already doing that... somewhat. I'd fully support them being a little less lenient and more proactive towards botters.

look man I know you is a dumb but if you read the OP, you'll notice we're talking about making 0.0 and low interesting by nerfing large alliances

going by the OP's proposal, that means each NPC corp member gets fined "7.55 unquadragintillion" a week. Do you think that is sufficient?

i was not reacting to the OP ,so call me dumb i don,t care

about the OP proposal anything to bring down the size of an alliance and maybe (i said maybe) make Null more attractive to smaller corps and /or alliances ,i am all for it.

like i said i didn,t react on the OP but on some nerf the hell out of High reply

so raising taxes would promote Low and Null sec ?

really?

Why not just increase the market tax from the current 1% to 21%?
That should take out allot of isk from the game, since there is allot of trading going on.
Or if 21% is to high, 10% trade tax then?

Real life economics make me nauseous, video game economics aren't much better.

Hey if there was less isk in the economy, people would have less money and wouldn't want to fly expensive ships for PvP because they would be too shiny and precious. Everyone would go back to the old days when they used rookie ship fleets and it took us a month of hard grinding to save up for a Bantam.

Yes, you kids don't know how lucky you have it. These days noobs get given free tackle ships for PvP but back in the old days the only tackle ships we were given were our pods. We had to use them to bump their rookie ships out of alignment to stop them warping off.
