Do the devs have any plans to expand/change what system upgrades do? Because right now there isn't a great deal of incentive for people to invest their scarce LP in improvements, because the improvements are pretty weaksauce. Reduced clone costs aren't going to be that big a deal because the relative ease of getting your pod out in lowsec; lowsec industry and commerce is virtually non-existent (as far as I'm aware) on account of logistical issues, and a fairly paltry improvement isn't about to make anyone change their minds.
Assorted terrible ideas
-Reduced repair costs in upgraded systems (militia-only)
-Improved insurance payout for insurance contracts purchased in upgraded systems (milita-only)
-Bonuses to production of faction-appropriate ships and modules in upgraded militia systems.
I agree with the sentiments people have already expressed on the subject of positive feedback, but I don't really have anything to add on that front other than concern. |

Quote:Militia "grunts" gathering research data from an LP store in a contested system?
It's actually quite clever. What you are doing is gathering field data and testing new equipment, thus enabling research. More seriously, the "it makes no sense" argument makes a superficially correct point, but considering that Eve's manufacturing system is already heavily dissociated (information does not get used up in the manufacturing process; why manufacturers have to keep re-inventing the same hulls and equipment? etc...), I don't see how it really matters.
I think it's better because it makes each of militia stores more unique. though I do agree restricting mechanical engineering to the TLF store is a poor choice. |

Would it be possible to have the LP payout scale somewhat, to encourage running in small groups?
Say a minor plex pays 10k lp for a solo runner, 8k per person for 2, 6k for 3, up to a max of 20k total. Thank would reward small gangs whilst preventing people from farming with a zillion alts. |
