From a different thread:

Currently the way how Eve stacks items and markets items, a system like this wouldn't beable to be put in play. Currently when you stack an item, all items in that stack have the /Same exact stats/ this is why when you go to repackage a ship, it warns you that rigs will be destroyed, and all items will be stripped from the ship and return to your inventory. So two things will have to happen before they can do a system like this.
Rework the server code to allow for each item in a stack to allow for different degrees of variations. This of course will not only create more server load, but will also take up more space on a server hard-drive/RAM
The second thing that will need to change is how the market works, so not only would CCP have to redesign the market code, but they would most likely also be forced to redesign the market UI. which UI production is a pain in the rear.
Your's could have more potential then the last guy, the only problem that befalls here is instead of a production set up, this would turn more into a very complex fitting system where a ship now is set to frame, and you can then fit your basic components onto the frame through the normal fitting service, of course this could make things even more complex so in turn you will have players screaming out. "THIS GAME ALREADY TO COMPLEX!"
But like I said, if you changed this system out to be a fitting system I forsee it having better potential where someone could trade speed for better acceleration and vis-versa. They could trade out different radar systems and ectra,
However to keep every ship from transforming into the same basic ship with a different skin, you would of course have to make some rules! For example, Equipping Amarr ships with Minmitar equipment could have so unique side-effects, this kind of system though can't be built in a day, but I am providing some tips to help push along your thoughts. |
