TLDR GÇô BPC Apex Suits set by corps (and maybe Corp livery?)
So one of the best ways to improve the NPE is to get them involved in active corps, but given the current set up of no tax on NPC corps there is little incentive to join
What IGÇÖm proposing is that corporations get their own dropsuit fittings, which would serve to both educate new players on good fits but also allow earlier access to dropsuits/equipment
Apex suits have set a precedence for this with you not being required to have skilled into the suit
Conditions will apply
- 1 per role (Scout, Assault, etc)
- Time limit on changing the fittings, to avoid FOTM spam
- New Corp Role GÇô Fittings Officer, sets up the suits
Proposal 1 GÇô Corporate Apex style BPCs
Fittings Officer sets up the suits in a similar manner to the current Apex suits, easiest to implement
- Proto suit fit with basic gear
- Fittings Officer must be skilled into the suits/mods
- End Users skills apply to the suit (role bonus/cores)
- Isk Price = Base Cost + Corp Tax
Proposal 2 GÇô Corporate Apex style BPCs Plus
Apex with beneftis
- As above but Fittings Officer Core skills apply (HP/EWAR)
- Isk Price = Base Cost + Corp tax + 5% GÇÿfitting optimisation protocolsGÇÖ
Proposal 3 GÇô PC Ready
A Corps recommended fit, benefits from fittings officer CPU/PG skills but end users must be skilled into the relevant mods.
- Any suit/module purchasable from the market allowed
- Fittings Officer must be skilled into the suits/mods
- Fittings Officer CPU/PG skills apply
- End Users must be skilled into the mods
- End Users skills apply to the suit (role bonus/cores)
- Isk Price = Base Cost + Corp tax
- Aur version available to reduce required skills
- LP version available to reduce required skills
Proposal 4 GÇô New player Experience
Substantial benefit to new players allowing them to fit anything but their own skills apply, mitigated by increased ISK costs, ideal to bring friends into the game to ease the grind (if you can bankroll them).
- Any suit/module purchasable from the market allowed
- Fittings Officer must be skilled into the suits/mods
- Fittings Officer CPU/PG skills apply
- End users have no SP restrictions (can run anything)
- Users end skills apply to the suit (role bonus/cores)
- Isk Price = Base Cost + Corp tax + 10% GÇÿfitting simplification protocolsGÇÖ
So, any feedback? The last one is my preferred proposal as it helps eliminate one of the biggest barriers to entry without trivialising existing players SP investment (i.e. a proto amarr assault without the level 5 heat reduction is not going to be as good)
