Originally by: Malik77 Edited by: Malik77 on 17/11/2010 16:16:20 Please introduce a means of converting cash payment/PLEX into Security Status and/or Standings increases.
This is the only useful application for the "PLEX for __________" that I, and probably many others, would be interested in, and would be well worth the effort.
Thank you.

Originally by: SkinSin Not supported. Huge chance to abuse it, with no drawbacks for getting into negative sec status or faction standing.
Sliding conversion rate; how about spending billions to get max standings? That seems quite negative. ___________________________________________ The Hero of Kamela The Terror of Tararan The Executioner of Ezzara |

A lot of these nay-sayers have pretty weak arguements against imho. But there is a lot of negativity.
Perhaps a low-impact solution; rather than outright buying standings or security status indefinately, there can be some restrictions:
- Only being able to "reset" standings or security status -- ie to 0. - Being limited to how often it can be done, ie 6/12 month intervals. - Harsher sec/standings penalties if you pirate after buying back your sec/standings (ie, pirate resets sec status to 0; goes off and suicide ganks a hulk within the 6/12 month cooldown period; gets double the sec status drop; has to pay double the amount to get it back to 0)
With certain restrictions in place there shouldn't be any problem; even so I don't really foresee pirates willing to spend billions of ISK a month just to keep himself in highsec -- this solution is more for the casual gamer like myself who may find himself wanting to increase his sec status without having to spend weeks changing his entire gameplay to do it. ___________________________________________ The Hero of Kamela The Terror of Tararan The Executioner of Ezzara |

Originally by: Bagehi This would be awesome! I would suicide gank freighters all the time if I could repair my sec status with plex. Bad idea.
Let's think this through:
It would take about 12-13 T2 fit battleships to do this first of all. So that's about 1.5+ billion ISK down the drain. Then there's the cost of PLEX for each pilot -- another 4.5 billion or so.
So if you're up to spending 6+ billion ISK every few days to gank some freighters then by all means, please inject this into the economy and drive down PLEX prices. ___________________________________________ The Hero of Kamela The Terror of Tararan The Executioner of Ezzara |
