Dear CCP and Eve Community,
While I am sure this has already been addressed - I didn't note this in the common requests section and so want to bring it to attention.
So far to date I have found no way to logically "Free" slaves within Eve.
You can purchase "Freed Slaves" (which purchasing them is an Oxymoron in it's own right) but there is no way to convert "Slaves" into "Freed Slaves" or "Crewmen".
Right now if you "free" slaves in role play you have to either have the item sit in your hanger, sell them in the market to get rid of them (which does not free them... just sells them to someone else..) or jettison them near a planet and "say" you landed on the planet and sent them home.
The other odd quirk being that because "slaves" are illegal in Minimatar space (and rightfully so) to free them using one of the above current "ways" you have to smuggle them in - which also seems backwards - you'd think customs would *help* you free people.
While I am not personally sure of ideas you could implement in the code to make it possible to "free" slaves - I'm sure other folks do or someone in CCP knows what "switch" in the code it would take for some idea to make it work.
Hopefully people can bump this for me if they like the idea of role players being able to actually "free" slaves and perhaps put some ideas for how CCP could "flip" this switch.

Buy freed slaves. Jettison normal slaves into the sun. Pretend that you freed said slaves.
This adds virtually nothing to the game, CCP's time is better spent fixing bugs and adding useful features.

This is not the same ...you're Minmatar, thought you must at least understand this topic
Adding a an entry to submenu called "Free Slaves" and manipulate the item with updating the ID to the "Freed Slaves" item. After that refresh. Test-Phase, Patch-Notes, ready (max. 2 hours if you mention last two points, dunno know the workflow of CCP).
Define "useful feature". I would say a "useful feature" is a feature that the players of this game want to have while it's increasing game fun. There are at least two people in this thread who allready want that, so

So you've seen the EVE source code then?

I consider as a role player the "glitch" that I can't free slaves to be a rather large glitch?
This is considered a PVP-RP game after all - there are those that play it for the RP.

PVP-RP is a realm class type in World of Warcraft. The only thing CCP has described EVE as is a sandbox. But yes, I think it would be nice to have the ability to free slaves.

Seems odd to me, if we're trying to free slaves then why can't we? If not in too distant future we can walk in stations and fps on planets, we should be able to free the minmatar slaves.

Liberally interpreted, the "Trash It" button serves this function-- giving up control of an item for no value in return. However, it would really be neat to see this linked to some very minor boost in standings with one or more anti-slavery factions.
To discourage abuse, I do mean VERY minor, and maybe with a cap. "Cannot raise standings above 3.0," or something.

Quite the roster of crazy revolutionaries signing this one. It gets a signature for me as well, just so I don't get busted by Minmatar customs when emptying my Amarr hangar.

I support this idea if it could work both ways, ie other people like Tourists and Janitors could become slaves.
would be a neat feature ------------------------------------------------

Edited by: Eric Lancier on 03/01/2010 10:52:40 I agree with the idea, i just worry that it will create an exploit in marketting, such as buying lots of slaves in amarr space hauling, freeing them and making profit, it seems a bit hard to monitor.

Originally by: Esna Pitoojee Adding the ability to enslave other passengers would be nice, too.
This is why you'll never be on Zu's good side ICly.
I support the OP, it can't be that hard to code; shouldn't be much different from right-click->repackage.

I support this as well. It's a nice little feature which helps anyone with a slave in their station hold looking confused.

Edited by: Hamano Walker on 03/01/2010 12:55:53 If you jettison slaves from your cargo hold they get their own comfy, pressurized can. Once you leave they all get together and run on it like a giant hamster wheel. The spin interacts with nearby gravity fields to carry them to the nearest station where they can become productive members of society. . . or at least that's what I was told.

Supporting this. What are we fighting for in the militia if not the ability to free slaves?
Or the ability to make slaves, in the case of the amarr.

I think that it is a good idea, although not really necessary to RP things nicely. If it can be done without too much trouble, it would be worth adding though.

Sure, I'll sign this. However, I would also like then to implement the option of turning the Tourists and other 'livestock' you can get into slaves. Perhaps on a timer, so you can only do it every so often, and only in lowsec/outlaw areas.
