I like the idea. Dropsuits do need modules and they cost a lot of money. So this way its not pay2win.

The problem with this is that you'll have BPO suits running more BPO modules, and so were back to the same problem. High end Aur BPO is essentially pay to win, but any corporation with isk to burn equates this anyways. I've heard EVE capsuleers can easily mine crazy amounts of isk in proportion to the cost of our equipment. The issue here is that casual gamers or those who are not willing to invest in aur, or an eve account, are at a noticible disadvantage. I imagine CCP wants to keep dust accessible to everyone, otherwise they'll have a F2P game with a limited number of players. Doesn't sound exactly profitable.

True dude. But militia BPO modules are an absolute waste for most part. There are pros and cons to everything. I just like the idea of higher tier BPOs and dont mind spending even 200000 AUR for those. Having higher end suits doent not guarantee wins too.

Just buy the aur version of whatever item you're after. When you've managed to spend 200k AUR then just buy some more. It's like a BPO that scales to how much you actually use! Awesome!

Dude I have spent over 240000 AUR so far on dropsuips and AUR mods. It runs out pretty fast when you are getting OHKed by dropships in the air lol. You should know

I like the idea of AUR priced BPOs being more widely available but only for Meta 1 and Militia level gear.
To introduce upper Meta BPOs would damage the over all balance and quality of the game moving it dangerously close to (if not outright into) 'pay to win' territory. The higher the Meta Level of the gear in question (suit, vehicle or mod) the more damage to the overall game it does.

Dust comprises a war between immortals where control of resources, rather than death, provides the true gain. And were loss of resources, rather than kills, are how one truly wounds an enemy.
Remove the risk of losing those suits, mods, vehicles et al while still allowing someone to field the best gear and you cut the heart out of both balance and fun within D514.

I strongly disagree, the whole point of higher tier suits is that they are strong but require high maintenance to continue running them, a bpo for AUR would simply be broken and furthermore p2win. I'm not sure about the rental idea but I don't agree with the time period specified, I would prefer day long rentals, with maybe 3 day long rentals at most.

We have seen standard suits to this point I don't think they should make higher when it comes to bpo because they are forever. I am cool with aur for a monthly rental packs that include using higher tier suits but nothing perm

I like the idea. Dropsuits do need modules and they cost a lot of money. So this way its not pay2win.

they shouldn't have bpo higher than standard for anything, all it does is create stagnation.

I'm not a huge fan of this for reasons stated by everyone else here. Keep in mind however that high cost protogear is meaningful only if you are not playing eve. I fully intend to start playing eve only to mine isk. I will always run protogear.

Higher tier stuff is for high risk high reward. With BPOs there is no financial risk, so it would be no risk high reward. I am against this idea because of this.

This is true, but how do we combat rich eve players financing dust corps? I intend to start playing eve so I can spam proto gear. This is in effect the same as upper tier BPO.

CCP has said for a long time that they intend to place constraints of some kind (the idea of a tax has been floated) on currency transfers between games so as to limit that type of problem. They've not yet released the specific details but have reiterated time and again that while Dust and EVE will eventually have fully integrated economies, they plan to take that process very slowly to ensure balance.

All that being said I think there's a very simple change which would mitigate much of the EVE/Dust currency imbalance.
Just shift the decimal point a place or two. If all ISK rewards and costs where higher it would change nothing for the D514 side of things but it would reduce the impact EVE ISK could have on Dust.

Normalize (doesn't have to be totally equivalent, there are other factors like production, transport, expend-ability and resources required for production all to consider when creating a cost baseline) the effective value of the currency within both games and things should be reasonably stable. Because at that point while you'd still gain an advantage by playing an EVE character it would be more commensurate with the additional player time spent working towards goals within New Eden and that retains internal balance (for a pure Dust side example, all of us who play in the beta will have advantages due to our player time invested at live launch even though there will be a rest. Another Dust example would be playing three characters in the same Corp and sharing ISK/gear between them).

Every person in this thread that does NOT think this is a good idea is a jobless mothers basement dweller.IMO lol.Just sayin.
And has enough time on there hands during the day to AFK mine on EVE to pay for endless amounts of VK Protos with complex modules.Others of us with "responsibilities"(like jobs) do not have the luxury to do that.

Also when the market opens up to the PS3 user and I can buy PLEX to exchange into ISK.....tell me who is gonna work for who?I already know where and who will give me the best exchange rate for conversion and current market value.So your lame attempts to stop this from occurring in the future will be circumvented.I too will buy proto with ISK,or with AUR.This stops nothing.CCP could just cut out the middle man.

My grandpa used to say "There is always,more than one way, to skin a cat."

Far from the first time I've heard that phrase, but if you have the money to spend, why not just buy enough AURUM to keep buying them that way? You're effectively just asking for a way to make the game cheaper for yourself.

Look, bigger than all of this is what both CCP nothin and Nullarbor have said on multiple occasions: the more free, unlimited assets you try and have available within a player driven economy, the more problems you're going to cause. I mean, they even made the rookie ships available for ISK now, instead of only being given out for free.

Militia and Standard BPOs scale with your skills, so they already end up pretty powerful compared to a new player.

But you still have to spend ISK (or AUR) every time if you want something better than that.

Working as intended, and adding blueprint versions of anything higher would be a VERY BAD idea.

This isn't gonna happen so you may as well give up and start grinding high sec carebear

Im tired.I have to be at work by 5am tomorrow.Any way s befor ethe forums swallowed my post.You can already buy Proto Relic Drop suits and the other 2 as well.Making a BPO is the same thing as the ones currently available for AUR its just a one time buy is all.I dont know how much theyll cost and ill probably wait to see if the first one that is ever made available gets nerfed if not I'll buy 1.

"Making a BPO is the same thing as the ones currently available for AUR its just a one time buy is all."

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY IT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA.

One-time purchases should ONLY be cheap junk or a half-step above that level. Quality gear should ALWAYS have a cost per use involved.
