EVE General Discussion

hmmmm.....
Ok lets forget about standings
Lets forget about POS requirements
Lets forget about JumpClones
Lets mostly forget about market trading here
Lets forget about grinding missions......

There is already a precedence fro exchanging LP set by CCP....Concord to whom ever...
And now when once they get the Drifter thing sorted out....whats next Amarr Imperial LP converted to whom ever?
Follwed eventually by other factions???

I would support an ability to convert LP from one corp to another as i think such an idea is long overdue.
It even has a basis in the Lore....corp script, which is exchanged in favor of the corp receiving the other type of script...especially amongst Caldari corps....this makes employees prefer to stay in their current corps instead of switching locale because they lose a lot of wealth doing so.

Now i would feel sorry for the poor CCP Dev that would be given the assigment to determine the fracturing and factoring of LP conversion rates between the different corporations in game....and pirate groups, a task to be done way before trying to program into the game.

Such a thing though could lead to
1.) RP players would better be able to follow and track the political intracies between npc corps based of these Conversion rates
2.) Players would have more freedom to convert silly small amounts left over to where ever they are working closest atm.
3.) Maybe we could convert all oour LP to Concord LP(if that isnt possible now)
4.) All the above of course will add a slight new element for LP traders and the like to mess around with.
5.) and maybe just maybe, such a new change could be the fotthold of finally creating a real stock trading system...adn not just for player corps but the NPC's as well...how well does your indy corp measure up to the big boyz for example.

But like i said already I would feel sorry for the 1 dev given this assignment....1 or 2 Caldari corps might take Guristas LP, Guristas might convert all of them or select few plus others from certain factions....and the list goes on from that example.
Plus the Factoring between corps should come first and their Faction 2nd as a basis of conversion rates or if they will do so at all. NPC corps for practically every faction can be found in every faction, but as in the Caldari there is factions with in it, allies and enemies and just plain competitors....IMHO it might take a single Dev 6 months to a year to sort it out...and another few weeks to a few months to apply the finishing touches to a roadmap that makes sense for both LORE, and player community before the programming team could even begin to code it in.

anywa just my 2 cents on this

wow all this time I have been a victim

I NEED COMPENSATION! AND I WANT IT NOW

*sarcasm off*

And they did not made Skin bug into a feature!
Its like noone wanted it, or used it, right CCP?

Oh dear. I have jumpclones all over the place. My other characters do as well. Each character only farmed for 8.0 standing with 1 corporation in order to be able to do this. No need to grind standings for 100 different corporations at all, even before the changes.

That's part of the mystery, really.

There is some kernel of a sane complaint in the OP, but it's hidden behind all that GRRR about standings, and among the ones you've listed, only one would actually fit what the OP is GRRR:ing about.


Aanyway, the problem with LP exchange is that it somewhat reduces the point of having the various LP stores. If anything, it would make more sense to remove the Concord→Whatever exchange to stop devaluing all other LP.

How are you stuck with them? What's keeping you from cashing in? What content was removed that now somehow disallows you from using your LP? Your complaint makes no sense.

Good question. Why did you? What did you imagine that a bunch of smaller corps would give you?

No, really. Whyyyyy?!

Setting aside the nonsensical stuff about standings in this topic... I would like to be able to delete unwanted LP from my journal. I'd like to be able to forfeit expeditions I'm not interested in and clear those out of my journal as well. Everything must be neat and tidy. Scrub scrub scrub. Squeaky clean. Everything squeaky clean. /OCD

Standings should be more important.

I'd like to get a 10.0 standing with the angel cartel and hang out with them in an asteroid belt.

Cloak inside of an anomaly and come out when the guy's tank is getting stressed to blow him up with zero interference from the angel ships cuz we're bros.

If you ground 8.0 standings with 100!!! NPC corps... the only explaination I can think of for that is that for some bizarre reason you thought you needed 8.0 to even leave a clone you can jump to in a station.

I mean sure I'm laughing at you here, but I am also kind of horrified at the amount of effort you put into such a pointless goal (It was pointless even before the change.)

I mean jeez I thought I was kind of overdoing it by having a total of... 8 or so hi sec corps to L4 standings across 4 characters on 2 accounts, just to make sure that I could easily relocate and have a fallback income source in hisec "just in case". And JC standings for the Angels corps are a sensible goal for someone who spends a bunch of time in Curse.

But 8.0 standings for a hundred NPC corps? I can't imagine how much time that must have taken. I don't want to try.

Sugar Smacks, could you clarify exactly why you went to the trouble of getting 8.0 standings with 100 NPC corps? I assume it relates to jump clones, but what exactly was the motivation here?
