Keep the free version, the version everyone has now, where people can spend bits of money on aurum and other stuff if they want, but also add in the 'supporter' version of the game.
the "supporter' or whatever else you want to call it version of the game costs the same as a normal game, maybe $40-60 US, this gives players access to BPO packages you sometimes release, gives players 20 free encrypted keys a month, 1 active 7 day booster, 1 passive 7 day booster, 1 factional 7 day booster for every faction every month, and that market seller NPC.
Basically these people would be paying for the game as a full game, so of course their experience should be different than those who havent. Thats why they'd get the free stuff every month. Then if the players want to spend even more on the game, they can still purchase more aurum. |

Monthly? Won't happen. Since it's too much money.
One time? Won't happen as well, since it's too much for the money.

They can make more on two Apex sales than on your proposed 'Supporter' version. To justify the perks you included in your description, the price of the 'Supporter' version would have to be around $1000 USD.

Sarcasm?
I know they 'could' make more money, but will they? How many people will keep paying more money for this game than for a brand new game?
I know free games arent free, their development needs to be paid for somehow, and the company is seeking a profit, but at least games that arent 'free' have an honest price for what you get, and sure they all seem to have DLC that costs 'extra', some as early as day 1 release, while others just get the dlc later on, but almost never cost as much money as 'free' to play games.
I think dust can be better than the other petty free to play games. |

Your proposal just makes no sense package/price wise...
Considering the way EVE is funded, a monthly fee for premium content makes much more sense.
This would be something in the 10-20 Gé¼$ range... |

Other shooters have an upfront cost instead of a monthly fee.
Ok so maybe the free BPO's is a bit much.
1 free 7 day booster of active, passive, and every factional every month, 10 free encryptor keys every month, and the market npc. Then only a few select BPOs at first, and maybe they add a few BPOs over the course of some months to the package to make it more worthwhile as the game gets older.
the 'monthly' revenue should come from aurum sales for other stuff. |

I think it's a good idea - but I don't think that should include monthly boosters.
You should get a decent stash of starter SP plus all current bpo's. You should also get the agent and one free respec I reckon.
Either way it's a good idea and 'supporter' is a good name for it!

You will not get monthly stuff for a one time payment period!
If you want monthly stuff, there needs to be a monthly payment.
Single payment, single package of stuff as it is already with the packs.
Anything else doesn't make sense from a business standpoint.

If CCP went with what you are suggesting they would effectively be opting out of thousands of dollars in revenue. This will never happen. The F2P model is just too good at making companies money.
My advice to you, playa...
