Edited by: Bodhidauruma on 01/04/2010 06:49:07 So people are always repairing ships right? If they could figure out a way to use minerals in that process then that would greatly reduce the supply. I think one way is make "ship reparing" a service that players can provide somehow in stations. Allow them to set up repare installations or something.

This! Exactly what we need in EVE, players controlling everything and sinks to puke in everywhere. I support this, move it to F&I

Ohai, I herd you like repping, so I put reppers on yo ship so you can rep while you fly.
>.>
Unless you also want fitted reppers to use minerals, which would be rather fail.

Why fail? Just put a rep bay on the ships.

Idea is good, but wonŠt work, even with stated "repair bay", as shield tankers would have an enormous advantage.
It will cost a 2xLAR Domi missioning iskies, while a CNR will have no losses on isk side.
Might be valuable for CCP as they hate gallente.
My two cents.

i really like this idea... here's some possible numbers:
Armor repair pack: trit 16 pyer 8 mex 4 iso 2 Size: .3 m3 Cost ~ 330 ISK at current market
however the numbers are balanced, the concept has a lot of potential shield boosting charge: heavy water 1 liquid ozone 1 Size: .3 m3 Cost ~ 330 ISK at current market
You could give the reppers like capacity 5 or 10 and it would give people 15 or 30 charges before a reload.... that's plenty for a quick fit, but not enough for a full night of ratting. Ad Astra Per Aspera |

Edited by: Gubah Rakun on 01/04/2010 17:23:14 How about CCP stops (Or marginalizes) the game-genned minerals and ores so its purely up to the playerbase to supply them?

I think this is the way to go (if anything). Imagine the repair costs are representitive of the repair shop buying materials to fix your ship with, if you simply 'pay' in minerals instead it'd be a nice way to take a bit of minerals out of the game.

How about CCP do a major overhaul of the insurance, drone alloy, and mission loot systems.
Oh wait.

how to fix mineral abundance. Blow more people up, don't reimburse ever, blow more and more people up.

It is'nt stupid. Its a practical solution to a real problem with no downsides.

No downsides, except for the part where it adds a nuisance mechanic that makes the game less fun and more annoying for marginal benefit. --------------- Faction-Militia:Player-Alliance::Newbie-corp:Player-corp |

If you think that this is a practical solution it's not just the idea that is moronic.

The game needs isk faucets so be aware that removing one of them will probably reduce isk's value if you don't create a new one.

Keep camping that gate mate, maybe all the industrial alts in high sec will start walking in their sleep. 
So what's the problem? Are your alliance broke on minerals?

Fix the problem by removing Meta crap items from NPC wrecks. That stuff is constantly getting reprocessed. Problem solved.

No downsides, except for the part where it adds a nuisance mechanic that makes the game less fun and more annoying for marginal benefit.
I don't see why it would be a nuisance. From the point of view of the person who is repairing the ship it doesn't have to be that much different of a mechanic. Do you think buying equipment and ships from players instead NPCs is a nuisance?
And I have to respectfuly disagree that bennifit would be marginal. Even after reducing the influx of minerals into the market with the mission drop changes, that still leaves an enourmous glut of minerals on the market. Having another way outward channel taking minerals away from the market would add more demand to balance the supply. If one's goal is to keep mineral prices up and save mining as a proffesion then this is indeed a significant benifit. Also, I think the mechanic I suggest adds depth. Whenever a player does something instead of a NPC I think it moves the game closer to being a pure sandbox and thus adds to the depth.
Aimy Louis mentions that having this mechanic would eliminate an ISK sink from the game. I concede that this would be a downside and would have the be weighed against the advantages of adding an additional demand for minerals and moving the game further towards being a pure sandbox.

Then you haven't thought about it very hard.

Not even remotely analogous.

Do you have some math to back this up, or is it purely speculative bull****?

The basic fault of this idea is very simple:
shields regenerate
So even if you add a "shield booster pack" as suggested and remove automatic regeneration in stations a shield user can simply wait in space a few minutes and get a good percentage of his shields up.
A armor user can wait forever but his armor will not regenerate.
So implementing this idea in a way that is not punitive for armor tanking ships will require profund modifications to several game mechanics, making it totally impractical.

1) Remote repping - No... for the various reasons already mentioned :)
2) Station & Outpost repair services - This one is interesting but the effort to implement it may not be worth it, for it to have an impact on the mineral market you'd need a huge amount of minerals to be used up in this way and it probably wouldn't be practical for people to use. So you'd either end up with a system where the mineral requirements are low and practical but has little to no effect on the market or repairing your ship becomes a significant logistical problem where Joe Bloggs needs a swath of minerals and if they're not available in station it becomes a bit of a mission to get his ship repaired.
It's a nice thought but I don't think it'd work. Especially in null or low sec where the market is quite a bit less active and not everyone enjoys logistical problems :P -------------------------------------------------- Has a mining and production fetish |

This makes no sense, an armor tanker will likely have armor repper(s) and can repair the armor dmg in space. A shield tanker with armor dmg needs to dock up, put on an armor rep, undock, rep, dock. I wouldnt be surprised if most station repairs came from lazy shield tankers anyway.

Reread what he posted again and again and again until you realize that quoting out of context is bad and just makes you look dumber.
