EVE General Discussion

You don't need to create models. Go to the chinese server and witness the glory of a dead high-sec, and what the overall life in there looks like.

Ya really want to fix things?


Make high sec 100 percent safe.

But....


Use progressive taxation on all income in high sec. A noob making say 20,000 ISK on a low level mission is going to pay a few percentage points of it in tax.

A 40M SP player with the unberpimp faction ship slamming incursions and lvl4 missions paying up to 70 percent of income.

I have seen people in RL move their entire lives, families, change jobs, and lifestyles because of taxation. It will work in a game.


100 percent high sec safety with progressive taxation would be good for noobs to earn their starting ISK as they are in a low tax bracket but if they want to ride the safety train there will be no raking in ISK with "less risk" and let's face it, unless you are sitting at a station with no shield and armor deep into structure it's extremely difficult to be suicide ganked a combat vessel.

In RL, progressive taxation is a crime in itself, because no government can assure total safety and ensure against disaster, but in a game, being a controlled environment, it's possible.

Total safety for noobs, but the risk-versus-reward applies. This will not drive people into becoming permanent residents in low and 0.0, but will inspire people to get out of high sec on a temp basis at least, and therefore more interaction.


A good time will be had by all.
