The issue is in the coding and that items in Dust are actually hard coded into the EVE market in that they have location data and use the EVE market (albeit NPC operated) to sell the items to you. Simply transferring the item would seem like a simple UI update on the surface, but would require massive recoding behind the scenes, and CCP just isn't going to spend the money to do that for Dust.

This differs from ISK transfers because ISK does not have a specific location in the universe, it can be quickly transfered regardless of difference because it's not an actual item.

Crazy how they nail some excessively complicated ****, but changing a simple numerical value on an item is like solving a 12-sided Rubik's cube.

Well in this case it was designed to work with a full market system which at the time was the long term goal for Dust, obviously this is no longer the case so the preparations they made were actually kind of a bad thing for Dust. What they did was correct given the information at the time but now it kinda prevents any chance of item trading for Dust without doing more work than they're willing to. What?

(and I embarrassed myself in a PC match last night...0-14....sad display...just putting that out there...) I like the idea. It would motivate growth, and lead to new industries, as you would see "middleman" corps forming. Corps whos job is to be a trusted 3rd party for trades and who collect fees for their services. Within time you would see full blown merchant corps forming as inventory and market demand builds up. My only wonder would be...how would suit/vehicle sending work? Would you have to remove to modules? Or would it send with a module loaded onto it, and consequently you lose 1x vehicle and 1x module from your inventory? Cause that would also be an interesting dimension, allowing players to build and sell customized suits/vehicles. Its alot of life that could be breathed into the game with just a few small changes.

Stuff like that that should be modified or limited (only some items can be transferred). Personally i'd love to buy some BPOs.

You would send vehicles the same way they are in your "Assets". If the module is included by default (yellow borders) then it's just part of the vehicle and it would go with it. You won't be sending entire fittings, only individual items selected from your assets.

Its a little thing thats in EVE (not player market, just simple trade between 2 character). Actually, I never realized this wasnt present in game lol. Its a so simple a thing.

There are a number of things that you would think would be in this game but aren't because CCP sucks Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

Though I also wish they would add in some kind of asset transfer. I have so many things I'll never use. You didn't embarrass yourself at all in that PC match. We're all rusty at PC due to the large blue doughnut that sat in MH for the past 3 months. I'm sure with some more practice you guys will come knocking on our door!

Seems like the whole "more work than they're willing to do" concept has been the fault from the get go.

Regis Blackbird DUST University Ivy League 222	Posted - 2014.05.18 06:37:00 - [22] - Quote What about a simple "SELL" option, to sell the stuff back to the same NPC for half market price? That would not involve any complicated "transferring" of goods. Edit: still a client change, but probably quite a small one (relatively).
