TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 1198	Posted - 2014.08.28 15:22:00 - [1] - Quote Payouts in PC only promote the long term PC corps being active, this needs to be changed As one of the few PC mercs who missed the cash flow of passive ISK, I'm unsure how it should change.. I can just throw out opinions that I have gathered while building DMG into a PC side - Passive payouts led to greed, mercs expect high ringing fee's as they were used to them for so long. The concept of fighting for payouts is lost on most mercs as they just want the ISK - Active farming, we all know this is going on with corps attacking their allies, not fighting = free ISK - So one thing is certain, with the state PC is in, none can survive other than teams that have stockpiled passive ISK As the payouts barely cover expenses and that's if you win, a loss hits your team hard costing est.25mil ISK So what do we do? how can payouts be balanced so that corps can't hoard districts and become too strong..? It's a tricky one and one thing the community has proved, they will find a way to abuse it.. no matter what CCP 'fix' I suggest a simple method, that will benefit all mercs/corps that are PC active and that is allow us to make use of salvage Salvage is horribly broken, random loot that most mercs cannot use to begin with, I'm sure giving dedicated salvage would not be possible (eg.I would receive Plasma Cannons/Knives/Combat Rifles etc.) but there is a way to make all of the salvaged equipment useful to mercs/corps and that is by changing how salvage is payed out to mercs, It would no longer be received directly by the mercs but would be added to a Corp Locker where Directors can then distribute it to the mercs that have use for it, along with the ability to sell for ISK that's added to corp wallet ^^ This gives at least some reward to the losing side, along with making salvage drops actually matter As now, I'm lucky if 5/20 salvage items are anyway good to me.. I'm sure this is the same for many mercs And the real Meta test would be in public salvage, would greedy Directors steal your Officer salvage (Just an opinion and me thinking out loud, so be nice when the Vultures swoop in to tell me why it won't work) And yes CCP, this would require a client update for your 2 year dedicated playerbase.. Which I know takes from your time on Eve/Legion but Dust is stale and needs some life To have Salvage work in a manner similar to this brings greater involvement for mercs/corps And It would give us the long awaited way to clear our inventory's of the surplus gear we do not use As along with this players have the ability to donate their equipment to the Corp Locker, and from there it can be sold, some may see this as a limiting feature but it adds to what corps can do for you This is cut from a post I made earlier, not all will agree and as with all my idea's it would need work So before the list of replies come in consider it and add your own input see if you could make this system viable 07 Innapropriate Irrelevence...

It didn't particularly gain much traction there either. Regardless I do really like your idea. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=172481&find=unread Try the new Planetary Conquest Mode!

QQ because CCP wants PC to be a isk sink not a place for your corp to make isk they want you to burn isk up. it used to be a place to make isk but you missed that boat. corps were farming way to much isk and proto stomping in pubs all day so they got rid of the passive isk. its actually kind of cool the way it is now kind of like real life where one country that is poor can't go to war with a rich powerful country.

Why and I'm not saying this would be how PC functions, just that the Salvage from PC would actually be worthwhile for the corps and mercs that are earning it, How would you have it done?

True enough, I cant disagree, I do not think PC should become the ISK farm it was, however it needs incentive Otherwise it will remain a closed off gamemode that those who have been put off of PC will not return to Innapropriate Irrelevence...
