It's a good idea, but it's a niche we'd rather fill with redesigned starbases I think. We do definitely need to increase the manufacturing bandwidth of individual players though, for sure.
Originally by: El 1974 I don't understand the reasoning behind trying to make 0.0 more self-sufficient. The current economic model works. 0.0 activities are only profitable as long as high sec has something valueable to trade back for it. If you nerf that you will wreck the economy. Let the carebears do the grinding so you can keep 0.0 as the land of opportunity and adventure. At most make some small changes. If you want industry in 0.0 then develop it on planets (Dust). Dust could be a competitor for highsec where 0.0 alliances will require effective control over space and invest in orbital structures.
The core problem we're trying to address is that the minerals for a Revelation are 1.5m m3, which is around 1.5 freighters. Fifty dreads (ie, a decent pre-supercarrier fleet battle) require 75 freighters full of minerals. Once you start building capital ships (never mind supercaps) the volumes moved start to get silly. We still want trade, we still want a healthy amount of stuff moving back and forth, but we want that amount of stuff to be sane as well, which it currently isn't.
Further, we can't really make logistics more interesting and meaningful (and vulnerable!) until we fix this issue, because the amount of stuff you need to move just to stay competitive with what other alliances have already built is too big to be viable if logistics get much more difficult. We need to tackle this problem from both ends at once.
Can i sugest rorqual ?
rorqual can currently compress ore, why not release mins compression BPO's? would fix that
or if you want to go further down the road, why not capital parts compression bpo? like, 1x compressed capital armor plate = 10 capital armor plates
currently rorquals cant go into hisec and cant compress while docked.. no idea how this affects the balance as you see it
