I can promise you, we are working on the fairest, none pay to win system ever seem in a free to play game.

BPO skins to plug into a manufacturing job, as well as make BPC's to sell. BPO skins would/could/should have a custom maker, as well as putting on corp and even alliance skins, which would be handed out to every CEO in the alliance. Each would be more expensive than the next, but would have more on it (custom would have no tags, corp would have a tag for corp logo, and whatever design it takes, and alliance has 2-3 tags For alliance, corp, and a misc. tag, and the design).

A cheaper version of the Nex store (oh, and we need personal clones, which if this single EVE character goes through, we should have :D)

housing decorations (basic decorations could be sold for ISK, as well as all housing could be sold for ISK), static, or dynamic (so slaves or exotic dancers fits

Respecs are a hell no. I don't care what Z says, it's still a bad idea. Not sure what he's thinking........

Can you link where he said yes to respecs?

We will offer a Respec Option (which does not exist in DUST 514). More information will come down the line as the projectGÇÖs development progresses.

There are two main options. Progression (SP- boosterd) and ISK (AUR gear if you cant afford it in isk is simply buying ISK with AUR).

It's been stated that manufacturing isn't going to be a thing when Legion gets released (not something their focusing on) however skins are something I'm all for! They have zero impact on balance and only serve to make you look more badass.

Decoration (space hamster) is something I haven't thought of recently but would make a fantastic edition, Ill post it down and ill quote the dynamic!

Nothing that could possibly constitute any gameplay advantage.

Skins, alternate appearances, that kind of thing. Additional aesthetic pieces for dropsuits (like alternative helmets), ammo colourings (blue laser, red laser) etc.

You'd be amazed how much people are willing to spend on blinging their home and avatars. Just take a look at PSHome.

What would you think about the Idea of player deployed treasure caches that can be sent down into wild PVE zones that are being discussed in Legion? A player can buy a cache for AUR then put what they want into it and deploy it to the surface of any one of the terrestrial planets in New Eden. When deployed, the player deploying the item is given geo-tag for where it exists in the map data. This means the player doesn't specifically choose where to place the cache in a planet's PVE zone, but allows the server to dictate placement in order to help ease load on the server for placement of unique items. Upon deployment, a notification is sent out region wide (or game wide depending on whether notifications seem too spammy). Players are told which planet the Cache was dropped but not how much the crate is worth. Mystery is important here.

Multiple types of Mystery Caches (Small and Large) would sold in game. Each would be able to hold a certain number of item slots, with ISK being one of those slots. Large caches would cost slightly more AUR than Small caches. Size of the cache would be indicated in the notification screen, however there is no guarantee that a large cache container will hold a lots of rare or even worthwhile goods. A dastardly player may buy a large cache and put 2 isk in it for the sake of trolling people. At the end of the day CCP makes money and people have their fun.

I really like the idea behind a deployable booster. Thinking about these recent 'bonus sp per kill events' CCP has been running, I wonder how feasible it would be to create a temporary deployable device (a battle field analysis tool) that gives sp boosts to all mercenaries (friendly and enemy) in a given visible zone for each kill. This encourages a temporary frenzy zone for all players, that can be used altruistically or tactically to pull forces into a particular area. The "moneybomb" is deployed similarly to a warbarge strike, however, the device is available to use at any time as long as you have the items in personal stock. Also these modules can be destroyed, nullifying any subsequent gains for players in a zone.

When a unit is deployed, the player recieves a small blip on the heads up display with a meter marker that changes color once the player is within applicable range of the beacon.

Finally, there would be no limit to the number of zones that can be placed down, only that with every additional there is a reduction to SP awarded by all active zones. However, overlaping zones could still apply albiet with reduction.

Examples of overlapping beacon zones payout: [Photo]

1 Active: 40 SP per kill
2 Overlap Zones: (25 SP per kill) 50 SP per kill in overlap
3 Overlap Zones (Max): (19 SP per kill) 57 SP per kill in overlap

Modules would cost 225 AUR or 514 LP + 45000 ISK.
SP bonuses would also be applied past the weekly cap.

There are two main options. Progression (SP- boosterd) and ISK (AUR gear if you cant afford it in isk is simply buying ISK with AUR).

Stuff about people with access skill boosters having an advantage over people without access to skill boosters.

If I recall correctly, CCP Z already said there would be no AUR gear.

I thought I read this too, but was a bit unsure of the wording so chose to leave it out. Good to know someone else was seeing this!

I'll find the post and put it in the OP.

I'd be willing to bet that anything players can buy with AUR (or however they do micro-transactions in Legion) they will also be able to sell on the player market for ISK. That way people who aren't willing or can't afford to pay real money have access to the same stuff as people who are willing to pay and CCP still gets their money. Just like EVE players buying PLEX and then selling it on the player market for ISK.

As harsh as it sounds, it really does feel like Z is flat out lying there based on what we know DUST 514 is.

We will be very far away from what DUST currently is (no gear/items for AURUM,

Well I did create this topic and later apply it to Legion.

Moneybombs and Treasure FTW - Ways to Enjoy Spending Money on Legion]

Sell us more fitting slots. Start us with 10 custom fitting slots. Charge more $$ for every additional fitting slot, up to 100 or more.

If I recall correctly, CCP Z already said there would be no AUR gear.

Could work for -ú$Gé¼, but it would be a pain in the ass would it not?

While the "Treasure Caches" idea has merit, from my point of view this seems like a very Pay-to-win system, in a system that looks easy to exploit.

The Money Bomb (deployable booster) idea is a good concept which I think EvE already has, which is excellent for parity! The numbers need to be played with a little and I think there needs to be a detrimental affect for having it out for to long, like bringing in bigger and badder drones the longer you have it out.
So while the SP/ISK go's up the fear factor is too.

I did not read all of the post, but i honestly think legion should have two models. if they MUST do F2P

1) If Eve Unification happens, and we get one char for all three games, then they should have the option of tying in a subscription to your eve stuff IF you wish. You would get access to everything, and they could still do the NeX store for cosmetic stuff to nickle and dime you, but they would have a steady flow of money having a small fee. i.e. you pay like $25 a month and you get dust, valk, and eve.

2) Otherwise, you can play for free and spend money on the nex store at your leisure.

I would prolly have a disadvantage to not paying a monthly fee, but i really have zero idea how best to tailor that.

Stuff in nex store (for irl money) Reskining (customization of your suits and vehicles) quarter decorations, boosters, etc.

Said stuff..

What do you think?

I think yes, you have it down. This is a brilliant example of how a fantastic economy across different games that have different payment models could operate. I shall be noting this down on the OP!
