I like the idea from this reply, however I thought it needed a few things, including a new thread. Here is the idea in complete:

  • Stations have a set amount of docking ports, except in rookie stations
  • Docked players are charged a daily fee, for as long as they are docked, except in rookie stations
  • New POS module: Housing Unit
  • New POS module: Medical Center


By doing this, it will:

  • Spread out players
  • Make new players join a corporation
  • Clean Jita up a little
  • Make players interact with each other

I wouldn't agree too much on that one but if it gets added it won't impact me much so... (Just slightly against the dock slots, not a good thing for wars, etc.)

I see the down sides to this as well as the upsides. By the way I had it set, Akianavas is a rookie station. As is Todaki. Even if Jita 4-4 is set as a "super hub" with, say 250 docks, it would cut down on some of the junk that happens. Jita stays so populated that even with all the stations at 200 docks, it would a couple hundred in space. They would have to go elsewhere. Another thing that would be good to implement is NPC couriers. Although, that would cut down on player's income - unless it's set to be a much higher price... like 1 mill per high sec jump and 10 mill per low sec jump and 20 mill per null sec jump for every 1,000 m3.

Also, it would be wise to implement a "legacy" system. It would be quite upsetting to have a -100,000,000 balance on a returning player.

No, you wouldn't be allowed to log off docked in a station.

There would be ways to prevent this. One that I can think of is to remove the "market modules", or at least disable player selling, from the rookie stations and to disable local in rookie systems.


Either way I don't really care anymore as I am leaving EVE indefinitely.

I disagree with being docked and charged for doing it, if you leave for 6 months you dont want to come back to a 12b impound fee because you had the misfortune of being in jita, and if its some low frivolous number it wont matter to the people who have more ISK than they need because they station trade.

Medical clone POS mod is a bad idea since part of living in W-Space is being poded back to K-space and the threat of un-updated clones. Plus this further obsoletes the rorqual / titan clone vat module.

As for docking slots also a No-Go in my book, you already get traffic control on the jita gates, why do you need to get it on station too? Plus people will just dock in the other stations, your not spreading anything out by more than 10au's with this plan. ( also easly exploitable by mass logging in alts and never undocking them to "Burn" Systems.
