As a vet, I remember back when in beta we had bigger payouts, we were also told stuff like "one day you will have to buy MCCs" and stuff like that. ISK payouts used to be 200k ish a match(1.8) (now they are all over), I feel they should be multiplied by about 3.5, so we'd make 600-700k a match. Occasionally, if you were good you'd hit 500K ISK, and I feel that that should equal 1M to 1.35M ISK. Essentially, you would get a good amount of ISK, but not all this would be spent in suits and stuff.


Why not make this like EVE?
You pay X rent to have your Merc Quarters.
Make us buy MCCs (we have extra ISK Payouts)
Make us buy Installations, CRUs, and Depots (these would be dropped by EVE pilots or just fall from sky when you call on in, etc)
Add in other little ISK sinks to the game. I feel this would add in a better effect to the game, and for instance your team would have to decide "alright, who's buying ____ this round?" This would allow people to have a better time playing DUST, as also adding in a pn immersion effect (we do not want this to become some lobby shooter)

I have absolutely no idea on the prices of these things FYI

This is a good idea.
Plays on the old promises, and creates extra ISK Sinks, to offset all the additional money that's being produced.
(Perhaps, purchasing MCCs as a dynamic for PC.)

Why not for FW and such too? Why not also make us pay for something war barge related in FW?

Because my fellow vet, the warbarge would be supplied by the faction you fight for and thus the hired mercs would not be held responsible for the costs of the MCC.

P.S I love those ideas, too bad I wasn't on the forums then (Was too busy with an awesome game that has since gotten crappier but is now working back to it's former glory.)

Well then. What about PC? I think Warbarge for PC should be flown by an EVE Pilot, and is dropping orbitals as well as CRUS etc. so then PC would require an EVE Player for OBS, CRUs, Supply Depots, ETC along with having a please to wait in. Then the corporation should have to buy a MCC, Warbarge, clones, and whatever else is needed.

I can not say the EVE pilot idea is a good one, but I do like the idea of corps buying clones (Though sadly it would make bigger, richer corps stronger that those poorer ones when it comes down to the clones... unless there was a limit to the amount you can buy.) a MCC depots and installations (I find it funny when I see that you has an empty option to deploy installations)

We do? I meant in the CRUs as in the clone supply for the battle. I also never have been given the chance to play in PC, sadly (Why am I always left out? )

1) oh I see
2) Mail me sometime, once Nox Lupos (aka ronin 2.0) gets more members, we will be doing Friebdly PCs against G0DS AM0NG MEN
