Well this is interesting. On one hand mobile newer players are assisted, grabbing their BPC and hopping into the closest system with a team for their manufacturing - I like that, but again with the reservation I expressed in the manufacturing thread - too much 'interest' or complexity (variables, decision-making etc) is as offputting as too little interest or complexity.
But will anyone in highsec really order a team, knowing that a large bunch of mobile plebians will crash their system and jack up their prices for the next 28 day averaging? Let alone the non-zero sum game experiment aspect - very few ppl play those cooperatively such that both parties win, usually they try for more benefit to themselves to the detriment of the other party with the end result being there is no gain to either party. And philosophically, I imagine the sort of ppl with the money to do this in highsec will find it offensive to have to share their economic benefits with competitors.
Highsec content creators ;) though, are probably getting warm fuzzies at the prospect of such a honeypot! :D (Creating it themselves or availing themselves of those created by genuine industrialists!)

The only way to monopolize a team is to get it to a system with no public stations (for instance where you have an Outpost).
Yes, quite. I look forward with interest to seeing who locks up the teams first! For benefit, or even just for the lulz.

There are no extra benefits given to those that spent money to attract a team to a system. This is on purpose to keep the system simpler. However, this does mean that players can freeload of the money and effort spent by somebody else in acquiring a team into a system. WeGÇÖll monitor the behavior of industrialists in the weeks following the release to determine if we need to take action to reward those people active in getting teams into systems.
See non-zero sum game comment. Human nature being what it is, I can't imagine ppl going for this unless they can extract protected benefits. |
