I've been thinking about this recently and come up with an idea that seems like It could be quite fun -

Make boosters only available through direct contracts. Take them off the markets and keep the illegal rule for public contracts. This would reflect the usual RL case of building contacts as the hardest part of getting a hold of illegal substances. Not that 'd know anything about that... i'm an upstanding citizen. praise jebus and all that.

It would also draw out plans for an interesting booster supply chain, by making it easier for producers to pass onto distributors. It would be even more fun if each contract carried a security status penalty. The numerous transactions made by dealers would lower them to outlaw status whilst the producers who trade fewer, larger amounts would remain relatively inconspicuous. Twisted

Just an idea.... like?

Booster effects should be always the same and buffed. Side effects should be a set amount of skill point loss/slower learning/temporary loss of attributes when used.

I tend to not to retain info and to be forgetful during and after drug use. Would be nice if ingame boosters would reflect that.
What's a day of training if all your pilots gain 20% manoeuvrability during a fight.

Widening the spectrum would be nice as well. F.e would love some learning speed boosters. You could make them very highly priced or with huge combat drawbacks/rendering other abilities useless for instance. But love if I would be able to finish that much needed skill top speed when needed to fly bigger in the next corp combat action. Could make the race for who has most sp much interesting as well for carebares who are into that sort of thing. Should be well thought out of course.


edit: effects spelled affects won't do :P
