Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Create LAWS in game which concord would enforce, not just by blowing you up, but by giving you tickets with high fines that you have to pay..

For example, pay per jump (more expensive in busier stargates), pay per docking (more expensive in busier stations), per a monthly fee to fly/mine/mission in systems (more expensive in busier systems), pay weekly/monthly taxes to keep your coporation offices up, having corporation hangar or corporation services in stations, pay weekly or monthly fee for having 1 hangar in stations with items, etc etc etc..

I can come up with hundreds of ways (funny and very good for the economy) that will bring a new dynamic to the game helping at the same time giving a new birth to the market and economy of the game in general.

When I say fines/fees/payments, Im talking about tens of thousands of isks at minimum.

Ofc in 0.0 it would be different with a lot less things you need to pay for besides stargates use.

SO WHAT DO YOU SAY?? IM THE BOSS?

Be prepared for kick to F&I forum.



^Interesting, like a Toll ISK sink. I like this idea because it might create traffic through lowsec for cheaper travel, like driving the back roads instead of the highways.



Not as big of a fan of this idea... might create migrating market hubs which is just plain annoying.



Don't really get this, honestly. You pay to enter the system, pay to dock, then pay to stay in space? Of the previous three, this one doesn't make much sense. If you are saying it more like renting a "hunting/fishing permit" to be able to actively kill NPC pirates, I think that's over complicating some things.



Am I paying a rental fee to Creodron that I don't have to for my corp office? Halp?



I would say that's a bit steep for the lowest level. Also, rookie systems would have to be exempt.

I like the idea of CONCORD fines, however what happens if you dont have the money to pay? or if you have enough to go on a rampage through high sec?

I could reply to all of you but just gonna let it roll for awhile :)

Im sure this is a GREAT idea, not only for the fact that will help the economy by giving it a new dynamic as well as it brings a bit of realism into the game and more..

So, bump.

Yay XD .. I knew it

Hopefully they implement them fast, the less isks in the game the more they are worth.

Why is it helping the economy?

All your doing is taking ISK out of ths system and paying it to NPCs, reducing spending potential. These kind of imposed effects can end up with an economic slowdown or reccession. Especially as its a direct discouragement to manufacturing and trade and increasing the costs associated with making things (likley to make thing cost more).

It also continues to fuel a "hypermarket" convinience mentality to reduce total associated travel costs. Sellers will want to encourage this for volumes anyhow, but it gives more power to those supplying not purchasing. This makes it less likely to have a more distributed supply of goods and more of an "oligopoly".

This also makes the game easier to play for the already rich as dependant on your operating margins you still have to pay the same fees making it more difficult for newer players to establish themselves due to the increased overheads.

Some ISK sinks are not always healthy, especially if there is no associated player benefit (I.e you get something tangeable for your money) just penalties.

I think that ships should pay going through stargates, something like: volume divided by 100 = isk payout

that would be about 2,500 isk for a battlecruiser.

You just want to have to pay for everything, ya?

Yes lets discourage players from moving around or interacting or doing pretty much anything.

Bump.

Please create more laws and make it look a little bit more real increasing the cost of npc stuff.
