This post is concerning the inclusion of a new market option for both Hisec and Lowsec markets. The introduction of generic products and services as a failsafe against non sufficient product availability and extrenuous price variances. This new system would create a new product for each product listing, but using either a Hisec (CSM) or Lowsec (ISD) brand schemas.

  • Why Competing Generic Brands?
    Some corporations only work in certain areas. The two major divisions of Hisec and Lowsec gives each group and their regions a more fair coverage.

    Can Anyone Create Generic Brands?
    With respects to CSM/ISD provision and CCP developers; everyone should be 'enabled' to create generic products. The competitive environment for time sensitive market activity expands to provide NPO's and regular corporations greater coverage to reach their preferred customers by producing generic as well as their normal brands.

    Do Generically Mean Lesser Quality?
    Possibly, if the corporation that produced it insisted on it for quantitative purposes. But all CSM/ISD products would be approved for mass distribution to the public.

    What Steps Should Be Taken For Generics to Be Implimented?
    By filing petitions on the main CCP site, creating alliances and formally presenting a resolution, you will be in position to represent your favor group of hisec or lowsec products and market shares before CCP and its developers.

    Your input on these issues do matter. Please respond to this post concerning if interested.

    Tl;dr... seed "civilian" mods and weapons everywhere in empire (via NPCs) so I am not required to have a logistical supply line or carry my equipment with me to some far flung area of the map.

    Suck it up OP. We've all been there and part of the challenge of this game is making do with what you have and planning around it.

    I think your problem can be solved by improving on the market systems.

    If CCP made it easier to browse all buy orders from a specific player/corporation, Sellers can easily identify buy order hotspots. If they do that buy orders can be met quicker and possibly at a higher profit then Market Average.

    So for example a player or corporation has just setup in a fairly empty system and a group of Buy Orders go up for standard T1 products. Sellers can browse a buy order and then look at all the buy orders of the player and sell.

    Also to encourage this Brokers Tax can be reduced depending on the number of sell orders in that station.

    Having NPC's sell products on the market goes against the Player orientated environment EVE has so I'd vote against your idea. Sorry Straight
