Allow players to choose whether they want more ISK or more LPs from missions.

E.G.

Base rewards

ISK = A
LPs = B

Optional Additional Rewards

ISK = A x 3
LPs = B / 2

or

ISK = A / 3
LPs = B x 2

This is just an idea to show the basic mechanics of the system.

It's apple pie all the way down.

I can see how this might be useful, I'm currently doing a few level 4s here and there for a corp more to get LPs to help with other ventures and being able to focus more on that than the ISK reward would mean I have to run less missions. Thing is I think the LP market is a little overloaded at the moment in some areas and this might cause an even bigger problem if more people increased their LP rewards and flooded the market with particular items.

CCP probably wants the balance to remain from missions so they know just how much ISK/LP are coming in from L4s without having to do a lot of monitoring and balancing. This could cause some wild fluctuations in the market as people bounce from high ISK/low LP to the other way round as the market gets fillled with Caldari Navy missile launchers and such.
