Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Quick idea for the day.

Let's say each constellation in low sec had a tally of the total bounties collected by any corporation operating in that particular constellation from Npc's in Mission sites/Belts/DED's etc etc.

At the end of each week or month the Corporation with the highest collected bounties becomes the Dominant corporation and they then get a few bonuses and perks in that particular constellation.

The perks and bonuses ideas I came up with so far are:
- Ownership of billboards at the incoming gates to the constellation which can be named by the ceo and display the corp ticker/logo.
- Slightly increased security status gains in that constellation
- Slightly reduced security status losses
- Increased duration before Station and Gate sentry guns open fire upon suspect behaviour in that constellation
- Slight standings boost with agents in the Constellation
- Ability to select the damage profile of the Station and Gate sentry guns
- Increased locator agent speed

A little bit of incentive to get people out and active in space in their home constellation and even give low sec players a little sense of achievement. Plus the bonuses would give the pvpers a slight edge when it comes to defending the area.

Rat-based not-sov kinda has a ring to it.

I wanted to try and keep the idea away from the Sov idea, but still have some perks and bonuses for locals. I've seen so many burn out when moving to low sec cause they just have nothing to work towards and stop undocking.

P.S. I did think of it being based on the amount of ISK damage caused by corporations, but that wouldn't make sense to reward pirating, right?

Nice job contributing to the thread again troll.

For the unwary the ops corp resides in aridia/khanid. Hence all the ridiculous ideas from him lately.

Gee who stands to benefit from this new system the most?

Soft Sov is quite a tidy idea but giving people bonuses to gate camping not so much

But small bonuses to sec gains, billboards, maybe a little chunk off office fees, PI taxes, etc. - nothing really to miss out on but a little pat on the back to a corp that bothers to establish itself somewhere. Kinda like that.

Would perhaps find a way to tie it to actual occupancy, time/amount corp members spend in constellation so its passive and encourages any activity rather than PVE but that's just imo.

With a little fleshing out its got promise.
