Ok, I've never really psoted in this place before but today I came up with a rough idea that could maybe work, only an idea and it's probly rubbish but here goes anyway 
Introduce tolls for people to go through gates
The toll charged varies form region to region, and is greater the bigger the ship. For instance in immensia in 0.0 it could maybe cost 100isk to move a shuttle through a gate, but 1mill to move a bs through, and say in Genesis 1isk to move a shuttle and 100 to move a bs.
This would remove some isk from the game, but only from players that are older so n00bs are not punished.
It would mean that battleships in certain regions become rarer as they were supposed to be, and will see more frig fights in some regions and cruiser fights in others while bs fights could still remain in other regions.
Of course this will servearly screw mining/npcing, I can't think of a way to avoid this, but as a passing thought seems like a cool idea to me

ok so a player wants tot move a battle ship out to his new 0.0 home cost 35 mil one way. hmm good idea maybe but flawed
and fleet battles will be funny, Any one ever seen blazing saddles? "Some one go back and get a sh*t load of Dimes!"

As I said, it will make using battleships in certain regions very expensive and so will make them rare in these areas thereby forcing people to fight in other ships such as frigs or cruisers

Or we could just make BSs slow, and take a long time to go across the galaxy. Oh wait, CCP already did that with the entire point being making BSs slow... of course, if you just have instas, they go as fast as any other ship...
It's an interesting idea to fix a problem that CCP refuses to address or comment on. I'd like your idea better than the current system, but I'd like it more if they just fixed the loophole/exploit in the current system, and the toll would become un-necessary (at least unnecessary to accomplish your stated goal for the idea). Even then it might still be interesting to consider. Cost to move large ships...

yeah, and that's really noob friendly.... once a char is out of money he can't move to any other system anymore....
I think I'll do that for my children to pass a door in my house

Might be a nice idea on the highway sytems though, you can get from region to region without them but it take along time. So you'd be left with either Quick but expensive and slow but cheap.

I am VERY much against this toll idea.
Wot about auto pilot? this would just make space trevel even more boring and tedious if you had to stay at your keybord and click "yes" to paye for a toll at every gate. And even if you found a way to put autopilot to automaticlay accept toll charges so you can go afk while jumping -it would still be realy crappy to come back and find your last journey cost you 30 million isk or somthing.

Don't like the idea at all.
When I get finally my BS, all my money would be already spent in that. Having to pay extra tolls for it isnt really fair

The idea has some merit imo.
Can't agree about the amounts as travel, which is required for missions and general game play, should not be insanely expensive. But there does appear to be a need more more money sinks in the game [hence the complaints about all the billionare players in the forums].
Perhaps a toll or customs tax when you go from one region to another that is "collected" automatically from your wallet. No money? gate doesn't work for you
Another reasonable amount money sink could be a fine for running into and the space stations for "damage repairs" [the initial noob 1.0 systems exluded]. We have all hit the auto pilot button & warped through a station instead of piloting around one before warping to a gate or where ever.
Fine amount would increase each time you did it with possible forfiture of being able to dock at that station for a week or more. This would also have a side effect of making game play a little more realistic with minimum coding requirements.
Just a thought  |

(spits on the idea) J/K 
Alliance Tax Proposal
* Individuals who cross alliance borders set will have to pay a tax of no more than 5% set by the Alliance ownership each time they cross.
* Individual who is a member of the corporation of the set Alliance will not have to pay the tax to change borders, but has to pay the set tax if they are in another Alliance border.
* Tax payment given to Alliance is diversified between the Alliance ownership and it's corporations of set percentage. (eg: 97% Alliance, 3% Corporations).
