Thanks for a detailed overview.

We want to make start by multiplying the LP rewards as a simple kickstarter for people interested in FW and create a sustainable way of earning enough LP to fund their LP fittings.

Second, we want to decrease the grind a little and make top standings easier to achieve.

Removing ISK prices, or adding ISK rewards, etc is more difficult and time consuming as it has to be done on an item by item basis.

Adding more LP items is possible as well as time consuming, I would actually like if the community would give us feedback via a ranked list, by importance. I personally haven't looked into it, but I know a lot of things are missing, but are there dropsuits, key weapons etc for each race that are missing.

Sell to NPC is not happening in the near to mid term but switching the salvage to your own team is actually possible and pretty smart.

First, you have to work out a standard loyalty point -> isk conversion ratio. In Eve, the gold standard is 1LP -> 1000 isk; anything less than that is bad value.

In Dust, we don't have a player market so the isk value can't really be set, but if we peg it at the same rate, we get:

Loyalty Tier level 1: 326k isk-equivalent for a win, 65k for a loss
.
.
.
Loyalty Tier 10 win: 659k for a win, 132k for a loss.

Personally, I think that's a pretty good payout structure; the prices in the LP store just need to be normalised to make it happen.

I'm not sure what you mean. The disparity between the layouts for winning vs losing heavily incentivise using better gear and organised squads.



I looked at the LP rewards and multiplied by 1000. Once a LP->ISK ratio for income is decided on, then the next step is to adjust LP expenditure so that it roughly matches up, by whatever heuristics you choose.



My proto suits are usually ~150k, which means going x/4 is still break-even under my proposal. Care to explain your statement further?

Ah, I see. Yeah, I can see the incentive for personal effort as a component of your reward. I would, however, say that my preference is that personal effort should be de-emphasised compared to pub matches. Remember, LP boosters do exist.

With regards to LP conversion, has anyone done the analysis? Would love to see a spreadsheet.

Logistics suits will necessarily be more expensive, because prototype equipment is incredibly expensive. I guess break-even time varies wildly based on fit, but proto logis probably aren't the best representative fit to compare against.
