The simple fix is to just double or tripple the quantity of rare minerals needed to build things... That would fix the problem immediately.

wtf?

An isk sink is where you remove isk from the game, either through destruction or taxation.

This has both of those elements which were you referring to ?

Someone comes alone and destroyes a 200b isk spacestation, that's what I call a big isk sink.

Someone can't afford a 200b isk station but can afford 5b, then there are higher taxes to deal with, even if you have the same functionality. Another isk sink.

Pretty sure I know what an isk sink is, I also know what an irrelevant troll is, do you ?

If I buy 200b worth of materials to build a 200b isk spacestation - and it gets blown up - that's 200b of isk removed from the game.

Please tell me how that's not an isk sink ?

If CCP wishes to just "stop isk flowing into the game" they can at any time remove the plex system lol

Blowing ships up is an ISK tap, not a sink. The money you paid for the ship is still in circulation, minus the 1% or so transaction tax, plus the insurance payout generates ISK out of nothing and gives it to you thereby increasing the amount of ISK sloshing around Eve's economy.

Let's restart, perhaps I just mislaid the plans and misled people.

In order to make scalable costs in a refinery module for instance, a refinery module would be a refinery module on market and perhaps it costs 1b isk.

But if it's your 3rd one to install in order to get better refines and perhaps more tax for the corp, perhaps it costs isk to install.
Let's say another 2b ?

This would be cash money in order to make the whole POS thing scalable - differentiating between small corp and large alliance pos.

Sorry I didn't realise I hadn't explained it properly in the first place, we all misunderstood each other.

But I still say blowing ships up is a sink due to manufacturing costs related to the building of materials - especially true of t2 goods. Everything costs something.

So come mine in high sec? Problem solved?

How about instead of tears of whine whenever something doesnt go your way you adapt, improvise and ovecome? If you spent as much effort crying as you did adapting to changes you would be sitting back comfortable in a high sec belt making fat wallets.

Or you'd realize high sec mining isnt a money tree, and that'd be that.

I'm not talking about missile launchers at all, I'm merely wondering if Krixtal "ragequit" Icefluxor put up another tower. Also just because we say something and corroborate it doesn't mean morons won't keep spouting the same wrong crap .

I'm Just curious to know what has ore prices got to do with building and selling stuff?


I don't understand why people like to say, this is solely a player driven economy. It is only correct to say it is partly driven by players. The environment and game mechanics has still got a lot to do with prices, and that is controlled by CCP.

The ore imbalance is pretty obvious and the new mining changes are a way to counter it, these changes set as an example proves that the developers also change the economy, just wait a few months from now.
