How about giving us diligent hard working mission runners something new to aim for and use.

Im terrible at explaining ideas but hopfully this short explaination will hint at what i am suggesting.


I would love too see a high speed transit system for getting around highsec. My suggestion would be that the mechaninc requires you have standings with the relevant Empire who controls the jump bridges and prehaps the use of some kind of ticket that you could buy in bulk from the LP store.

This would be a nice addition too the LP store and would provide a good reason for grinding standings with diffeent empire' besides the pure persuit of higher level missions.

Thanks for taking the time too consider this. I hope most of you will agree this is a good idea; i would love too see it implemented.

ohh a further thought. Clearly this gives a huge boost too those who have the standings so i would further suggest(in order to add balance) that the standings required be very high (say8.5+) and that standings at the required level would suffer some kind of degradation/decay if they are not maintained after said certain level.

So I can teleport my freighter across Caldari highsec thanks to my 8.5 faction standing? I won't say no, but that's an insanely powerful advantage.

Not a forum alt.

I would say that going completley accross Caldari highsec would be a massive exaggeration most JB only cut out about 4-6 jumps or so. It simply cuts out some of the monotony of moving around between trade hubs.

Also no-one is saying these jb should be heavily guarded by concord (or guarded at all in fact) If anything it adds an additional oppourtunity for gamers who enjoy ganking frieghters etc too 'get you',

It would also allow for a kind of LP sink as players spend thier LP fast -travelling around the universe rather than on faction goodies; thus giving a much needed boost too the value of faction modules.

…so instant access to agents, reduced taxes, no refinery waste, and (at the extreme end) free ships isn't enough? It has to be increased security as well?

No.

In fact, if anything, standings gain needs to be decoupled from missions as it is and be turned into something that you can gain in numerous ways.

how about the standings requirement was reduced or removed completley, from the deal; and instead the whole gig was based on the "tickets" you buy with the LP from the LP store.

That way any player would be able too take advantage even players that have never ran a mission in thier eve career.

All they would need too do is buy some tickets that another player had previously bought with his LP and then resold onto the wider market ?


Furthermore the amount of tickets required would scale just like the amount of ozone required in player owned Jb's

So a freighter would need a mountain of tickets but a frigate only a small bunch ?

We used to have superhighways which did much what you want. It left most of highsec (and lowsec) totally dead.

You would then have to allow JB's in Lowsec & NPC nullsec aswell. Considering that you can save yourself several jumps with a well placed bridge, I would have to say no to this.

I agree that standings need to be more relevant, and that missions are boring/pointless other than the ISK factor, but I don't think this is a good way to fix that.

It already has: FW gives you huge standings from plexing. With no social skills and no grinding and with only SoE/career agent missions, I had access to L4s in Amarr and and Caldari space

But sure, more like that would be nice. I have social and diplomacy V now, from wanting to do missions in nullsec, and it's still a huge painful grind.

Only if a jump would cost you 350,000,000+ isk then I'd slightly agree with it.

Wait, so you got standings for missions by running different types of missions?

I think tippia is alluding to adding (meaningful) standings changes to belt ratting, anomalies, exploration... Hell, maybe even give standings for using services/paying taxes in a certain faction's stations.

Standings system needs a rework anyway, having to run missions to do stuff like get jump clones easily or trade at max efficiency is a little silly.
