If there were to be an isk blueprint version of any item that weren't militia, hell even if it were militia, it should cost millions, I'd put the price range at a permanent proto suit at well above a billion, I mean think about the cost of comparable items now, a toxin smg blueprint costs 14k aurum, the actual aurum smg probably costs like 10-15, the blueprint is worth 1000 of the perishable items, with your system everyone could run a proto suit all the time within a week, hell i could buy one out of pocket for like 15 people.
While it's true that for alot of people who work efficiently and can get alot done without spending alot of cash, there isn't much of a risk, everyone has the idea of going isk positive in mind. There is such a thing as playing hard and not smart though. Hell I have fits that cost 200k that I've used on multiple occasions, if I die in that suit I'm already in the red for some pub matches. But anyone can go isk positive all the time if they're smart with how they set stuff up.
Idk about anyone else but I'm disagreeing with you because your plan doesn't make sense. There's not much risk in the game so lets make less by losing even less money upon each death? Yeah that will work. All this will do is add more options to the market, options that are only available to the super rich which would basically turn them into money generators who play very recklessly, you don't think that will break the game?
If you want to add something new to the game to make it more addicting, involved, and more personally fulfilling, we need to be able to build our own damn suits from the ground up. Allow people to decide how much PG and CPU, base health, module and equipment slots their suits will have and do the same thing with weapons. Not only will there be a personal investment in the game but the cost of someone's suit is directly proportional to how confident they are in their abilities which will make some very interesting drama. Also this will allow people to become manufacturers, people may buy weapons or suits from you that they couldn't make themselves, which will have some very interesting effects on the economy. |
