I say make a benefit to owning slaves in the game. They should get off their butt and do some work. I say that having many slaves in your station or POS should improve your productivity when you are doing manufacturing or what ever the pilots of today need them to do. Having them would of course reduce the amount of time it takes to build stuff. Of course you may lose some of your slaves in the process because they do not work in the safest conditions and some may run away. So you will need to run back to the market or to your friendly neighborhood slave trader to find some more. Slaves would also need to be made more common out on the combat sites where they try to hide from the slave catchers coming around to find new slaves to bring to market for a profit. It would take many hundreds of thousands of slaves to really cut down time working on things so it would create a big boom and a new commodity that the industrialist would want to maximize his profits

Please don't joke about this. In case you have not noticed. Slavery is still an issue in the RL world.

Joke thread or not, something to think of too.

Have to say too, let's keep "the real world out of this". But I understand the concern. And no, slavery is disgusting.

This is EVE, and ugly is Her Beauty's middle name. One has to note however, that even if it is a game, there are -sorry to say- people who take things too seriously and try to drag everything down. Plus, slavery and, well, racism are like siblings and I am dead sure CCP does not want to get dirty with that subject. It would only work if it is something about "goodguys" or some genuine "ethic-drama" that gets people thinking (talkin' like philosophy etc, as to the very topic of slavery).


I am probably swinging out too far as usual.

I do see potential as a mix of improving what I would put next to "making PI goods more useful".

Thing is though that the "slaves-item" are just an entity with an x quantity. I don't know if much can happen with such. But say, "force labor" could be sort of a nifty idea.
However, I think this is where we'd need other sorts of people-items, like Scientists, etc that help produce or research whatever - using slaves gives you advantages but maybe somewhere else disadvantages. I suppose that was the OP suggestion somewhat.

But there has to be more thought and emphasis on making the actual slaves-item useful, but also not just a mere "Nanite Repair Paste in human form".


The only way I also only see this be more awesome is if we could see a lot more emphasis on each and every faction. So Amarr would be much deeper in to the slave subject as much as other factions would be in their little dirty realities.

You know what else is still an issue in the real world? war, murder, famine, unemployment, teenage prgnancy (well, in america anyways), corrupt governments, etc etc etc.

but ya know what? I'll make jokes about it whenever i want, just like the next guy. I'm tired of people who, jokingly or not, complain about subject-matter and when it's brought up, fact is, NOT bringing it up isnt helping solve the problem, in fact, it makes it WORSE. the more you talk about a problem, seriously or koingly, the mroe it is in the forefront of people's minds, not talking about it allows people to ignore it, which prevents change.


TL;DR, make slavery jokes or your a racist who supports it, by logical connection.

The TL;DR was a joke, which is why i added the "by logical connection" to the end of it. I guess the way jokes are done where I'm from is just a little weird.

I got a bunch of Freed Slaves tightly packed in a secure container for years. Would be cool if instead of just having them rotting there i could use them to improve my manufacturing time. Basically have them work hard and long hours in a sweatshop so these lazy bums are not just wasting the air inside their cozy secure container home.

it's a GAME ffs......


slavery is BAD irl, right, i'm the first to agree, as killing innocent, as driving @ 200 mph in open street as etc......


but here we are talking about pixels......so

Please don't joke about this. In case you have not noticed. Being an uptight douche is still an issue in the RL world.

Like the Amarr do any work to begin with. All their ships are powered by slaves in hamster wheels anyways. Not perfect, hence the cap issues.

As a Caldari pilot, I would prefer to launch them out of the torpedo tube when I run out of ammo. I can see it now... "Shahai Shintaro's Bob from accounting hits you"
