EVE General Discussion

I thought PLEX was US $14.95?

Is $20.00 an exchange difference?

(I don't buy them so I don't know)

Since we already have Slaves , in addition to food we would need some whips to increase production.

Also, as we are delving deeper into reality, if we eat and drink I suppose a LATRINE would be in order? I'm sitting in my captains quarters holding it since INCARNA.

If you are a male, the problem is somewhat resolved, since you can co to the captains quarters balcony from where you see the ship and ... admire... the abyss.

That only apportions value to the right to access the game, not the hours you spend in the game. If I spend more hours in the game than you, my hours are costing me fewer dollars each than your hours of game play are costing you.

Nope, as another person pointed out that is my "gate fee" to pass through the gates into the amusement park.
How I spend my time, be it riding a ride or sitting on a bench watching people go by neither increases nor decreases my gate fee.
Thus you cannot look at that as a valuation of my play time.

So what you are saying is "no the game isn't broken but it does need fixing?" Sounds like a strange argument to me.

Personally I would like to see a fix built on sound principles, such as risk and reward, rather than an ad hoc solution to something you decalre yourself is a problem.

Industry is too easy, industrialists think High Sec is the best place for it, they are wrong, it's holding them back. Better to make more profit as a boss in an obscure part of the galaxy than none as High Sec Carebear 104,006.

Set yourselves free, call for the great Nerf, let the game breathe again.

But you yourself just posted this thread asking for a fix.

Don't you need a problem to need a fix?

Suggestions have been to tweak hisec industry, not crippling it. Stop fearmongering like a republican.

Came expecting an uninteresting, pointless thread.

Left pleasantly disappointed.

I'd like any kind of 'system tax' to be player-imposed. That would make holding a given system more meaningful in the long term, with corps fighting over valuable real estate, or choking off heavily-used trade routes.

The food issue...yes, and no. Yes, in that it could be done with station environments, but no for two reasons: first, according to the lore,, everything is attended to in the pod via umbilical hookups (there's no need to eat or drink or....y'know...that other stuff) and also because without a meaningful station environment, we'd basically be having a private lunch in our quarters.

As for the third point (at-the-keys production), there's one major issue that would need to be addressed: changing to an at-the-keys system would mean that, in order to produce anything, the player would have to sit at the keyboard for hours on end micromanaging the entire process. I usually put a few orders on the queue and then go and run missions or attend to other orders or deliveries.

You look postively pale. You OK?
