It's not like the people that grinded standings and missions for LP should be rewarded, naa screw that, make it so EVERY RAT IN NULL gives out navy LP!!

Edit: running numbers, that's about 15k LP per hour @ BASE, more when it upgrades. (based on 30mil ticks)
(based on 1000 isk per lp ratio, that's 15 mil extra per hour, or 16.6% of your ratting income) mileage may very.
Tell me about how you want to avoid inflation again?


LP stores are an isk sink. How does it worsen inflation, when there's no money coming into the game via LP?



Really? your that dumb?
Because there's NO item in the LP store that ONLY costs LP right?

Yeah I must be dumb, because a sink is where you put money in and none comes out.

You put money into the LP store and it turns into a module.

So... when does the LP store generate ISK out of thin air? :)

You are obviously much smarter than everybody else, so explain it to us. :)



Edith reminds you, btw: you're* :)


When you buy stuff with LP, that doesn't require isk (skill books, starbase charters)

And how exactly does that contribute to inflation? When does the LP store put ISK into the economy?

Those items are (to the game) "isk neutral". They don't sink or create isk. They do serve to sread isk out by adding more items to the game.

Don't embarrass yourself further.


"isk neutral" so they have no isk value?
So I can't go sell skillbooks I got from LP out of thin air?

LP is an isk sink, giving null sec ratters LP is actually a VERy good thing for the game overall, because now a good portion of that 600 to 700 bil per day sov null generates will be sunk into LP.

It does seem to suck for high sec navy mission runners however. it may even affect lvl 5 missions.

the funniest thing is: FW PvP players will get nerf. Actually FW PvP pays less than FW farming already. And when 0.0 bots and farmers will join LP farming team..... Shocked

Just an example:
- offensive plex gives 5000-25000 LP for 10-25 minutes
- 1 properly PvP fitted frigate gives 100 LP (and it actually can kill you!)
Lol

What has that got to do with isk creation? Those skill books you get for just LP get sold to people who have isk that already exists.

We're talking about isk faucets and sinks, I don't know wtf you are talking about lol.

You're selling it to a player, which means the process doesn't generate ISK. The money only moves and doesn't suddenly appear in the economy.

There's no new ISK flowing into the game. The ISK already in the game is just redistributed.

She lacks full understanding of how the process works. For me it looks like she's mostly running on instincts without engaging deeper analysis. I guess it's no use to suggest ignoring her...

I'm cross posting here a post from the dev blog discussion thread:

Here's a quick update on the changes we've made to the ESS, based on testing and feedback. There is a dev blog coming out tomorrow detailing these (and other changes) to the deployables in 1.1, but here's a basic overview.

Additions/edit
* With an active ESS in system, bounties pay out LP in addition to normal ISK reward. LP reward starts at 0.15 LP per 1000 ISK and can increase to 0.2 LP per 1000 ISK as the bonus payout increases. As an example, a bounty worth 1 million ISK (total) gives between 150 and 200 LPs, based on payout level. This is to address the risk vs. reward concerns. Thanks to those that suggested using LPs instead of ISK for balance.
* There is now no timer to open the ESS window where the player gets to choose to Share or Take all, but both options now have separate timers on them. Share has 20 seconds, Take all has 180 seconds. Moving out of range while the timer is ongoing resets the timer. This is to reduce the feasibility of having an alt sit at the ESS and quickly empty the pool when someone shows up.
* Interacting with the ESS now puts a warp disruption effect on the ship interacting with it. Ships immune to bubbles are not immune to this effect. This is to reduce the feasibility of using ships immune to bubbles for stealing purposes.

Also, some of the stats have changed:
* Price lowered from 30 million to 25 million
* Hit points increased from 150k to 250k
* Volume increased from 150 to 200
* Increased minimum range from stargates/stations to 3000 km, from 300.
* Activation time increased to 120 seconds, up from 60 seconds

Some of these changes are already out on Sisi, the rest should be there soon. Thank you all for your feedback.



looking much much better.

points for improvement would be having to hack the ESS to steal from it which is based on standings. you guys did spend alot of time on the new hacking mini game and i feel it would fit perfectly with the combat/exploration ideas that came with the summer expansion

you did not mention but is the 5% reduction of isk payout set in stone?

There are no stupid Questions... just stupid people... CCP Goliath wrote:

no, they're not. Inflation is all about faucets & sinks.

Fed = faucet and somehow - most of the times, just not now - the more the Fed-faucet is open, the higher the inflation will be.
