' the economy in the first shard is more advanced than theirs '
You a funny man !
12 to 15 mil for an item that costs 50k to make and ships that cost 120mil yet can only be insured for a fifth of that price.
EVE has no ecomony, there is only rudimentary supply and demand as the demand can not be met by the suppliers. This is not a thriving economy, it's closer to the old Marxist/Bolshevik economy.
The Soviet Union wasted its resources because the success indicator for Soviet managers allowed them to be successful even though their output was poorly related to the needs of users. Soviet output basically satisfied no one but the statistician measuring it.
The Soviet managerÆs success indicator was a measure of gross output, such as weight, quantity, square feet, or surface area. Gross output indicators played havoc with assortments, sizes, quality, and so on. A famous Soviet cartoon depicted the manager of a nail factory being given the Order of Lenin for exceeding his tonnage. Two giant cranes were pictured holding up one giant nail.
When Lenin and the Bolsheviks seized power, those revolutionaries undertook a direct transition to socialism. They were unable to organize the Russian economy to produce for the direct use of society. They did succeed, however, in disrupting all economic relationships, causing famine and widespread rebellion. Looking back on ôfive years of the Russian Revolution,ö Lenin acknowledged the ôgrave political crisisö in 1921. ôThe reason for it,ö he said,
"was that in our economic offensive we had run too far ahead, that we had not provided ourselves with adequate resources, that the masses sensed what we ourselves were not then able to formulate consciously but what we admitted soon after, a few weeks later, namely, that the direct transition to purely socialist forms, to purely socialist distribution, was beyond our available strength, and that if we were unable to effect a retreat so as to confine ourselves to easier tasks, we would face disaster."
EVE is going to face a revolution unless the economy is in place to support T3.
...sorry went a bit off topic there but got into a flow on the only major flaw that has not been corrected since EVE went from Beta to Live
