But by being paid by an NPC corp for the minerals, ISK is consequently pumped into the economy and that can cause problems. If you have too much ISK in the economy, the value of the currency lowers and items become more expensive. If you have too little ISK in the economy, the value of the currency increases while the selling price of the items decreases. You have to find a perfect balance between the two. This is where player-to-player transactions help out by keeping the currency circulating as long as possible before it is destroyed while also mitigating new ISK from being generated out of nowhere.

What about a simple crafting system. A NPC corp wants to sell an aur item, let's say a complex damage mod, to produce an aur mod the corp would have to buy a player made complex mod and a CPU upgrade mod using monies from taxes. These two items would be bought at the going rate combined and then you have an aur mod.

There would be minerals needed from miners, production from manufacturing, tax money spent, player made items destroyed and aur items created. The RL money would pay for the production of the product and everything else would be in game. This could also add micro transactions to the game. Get the modules needed to make an aur item, pay 50 aur and the aur item is yours. ISk could be used to do the "upgrade" and then it would not be p2w.

I would like to see a type of crafting/upgrade system for lower tier gear on the PSVITA. Spend some SP on a crafting skill and then buy the gear you want to upgrade. The VITA could have some mini games that upgrades an item if you meet the criteria and destroys them if you fail.

Example: I want to upgrade a standard AR to an advanced AR. At level one gunsmithing I would get one advanced AR from a run of 10 if I completed the task. Level three would produce three advanced and level five would produce 5. Failure would destroy all 10.
