I have suggested several times in the past that when FW people would flip a system, the station owners would change after downtime, so from Caldari corporations to gallente corporations or back, this would include R&D corporations within a faction.
I also suggested that In order to redeem LP you would have to do it in these systems even though your could earn the lp the same way you always had. If you did the same thing with data cores, as they come from the factions R&D Corporations, people could earn them at the same rate they always had, they would just have to got to low sec to get them.
The only problem is stopping the FW people from pirating these industry people, and the solution to that, the higher the industrial persons standing with the corp and faction, the higher the standing hit a person would get from the faction they fought for if they blapped that indy. This also gives pirates one more thing to try to pirate in low sec.
This kind of change also could be in done in tandem with letting FW people get Data cores as well with LP.
With this sort of situation every one benefits. People travel to low sec. FW people get more rewards, and Datacore farmers still get there data cores at the same rate they had in the past.
It also achieves another one of soundwaves goals which was having non FW people take an interest in who controls what. If the gallente control all the systems certain Datacores arent being collected, and people will try to influence caldari to retake some stations so other kinds of datacores start flowing.
Lore wise it also makes sense as the empires want to encourage the capsuleers to take space from each other on there behalf, datacores from the R&D corps that work for those empires would definitely play into that game plan.
Soundwave, I get what your trying to do, but there are better compromises to achieve what your going for. Every time theres a change in this game it doesn't have to result with a whole group of people getting disenfranchised. Or at least it shouldn't. Creative gameplay development doesn't have to involve always whacking somebody in the face with a nerf bat. |
