Paying cash for gear makes it impossible to create an economy parallel to that of EVE online. How would that game play, if nullsec pilots could just replace their battleship with NPC injected aurum ones? Dust PC at its core is no different. It's a game of isk ultimately. Using p2w gear will buy your alliance clone packs and infrastructure upgrades. That gear is not player made; it just pops out of thin air.
I conclude thus, that due to this choise, dust economy will remain limited and shallow. Economic warfare will be largely aurum based. To simplify it and make the ground even, I suggest bringing out the last word in PC: Genolution 'P-2W' clone pack, at 40000 AUR (25% discount). Please name 5 aurum items that doesn-¦t have an ISK variant. with similar/superior stats.
The Codewish Duvolle TAR
The Schizm repair tool
The Spitfire SMG
The Tether Shield regulator
My personal fave - The Abyss drop uplink (seriously, check out the stat difference on that one)
And let us not forget the the 3 Proto damage mods |

(The abyss has actually very few spawns in it - 5 iI think) From the list above, the codewish is not P2W , don't think the spitfire is either. Both are just proficiency 1 guns that you can Aurum purchase at operations 5, like the Guristas Assault Forge. But the items I listed are all supremacy goods, or P2W.
They are proto quality with adv CPU & PG fitting requirements. |

Again, i fail to see where the p2w part is.
The items you mentioned are either crappier than the ISK variant ones, or they-¦rethe same stats, but less CPU/PG requirements, and those with a high sp character are not relevant, for they may fit the same fitting with the appropriate skills.
None of these have an isk equivalent, that claim is simply false. The lower CPU requirements is a massive difference. I could get a Viziam on a VK.1 logi, with 4 dmg mods, and maybe as much as 750hp thanks to the lower requirements of the aurum dmg mods. With isk, i'd probably have to ditch 1 or 2 of the armour plates for the sake of capacity upgrades. You can't seriously suggest that doesn't give aurum fittings a major advantage. |

As you train the fitting skills that reduce your fitting costs on the AR, you reduce both PG and CPU by a total of 25%.
This brings the ISK Proto AR down to 75/15, but the Aurum variant has fixed fitting values, so it remains at the same level.
Not only can you get it with the lower skill prerequisites, but you can fit it like you've got even more SP invested into your fitting-related skills.
That seems like a fine idea to me. It's a little obsure, but it would certainly fit the trend of the non-p2w Aur items on the market. |
