That's a material sink, not an isk sink. Buying a ship does not remove ISK from the game, it merely tranfers ISK to the manufacturer/seller. And making ships is completely free apart from the nominal fee in NPC stations and the one time BPO fee.
I agree with the poster above me though - this goes back to a dev blog I was reading where CCP is trying to make it harder and harder to run large corporations/alliances. Make there be some sort of logistical part of the equation that increases exponentially with the size of the alliance, be it a docking fee, a "lease-hold" fee charged by the 4 main factions for holding nullsec systems, etc. Just like starbase charters can only be gotten from NPC corps via the LP store, there could be some other item or series of items that need to be included on a daily basis just to keep an empire/alliance alive.
But CCP knows better than everyone else how many people there are out there ratting in their supercaps. That's another thing - rat bounties could be reduced to match the difficulty of the kill. So killing a rat battleship in a T1 frigate would get you the maximum bounty while killing it in a dreadnaught would get you very little bounty. |

Neat idea huh?
Unless you mean increasing the fee charged by Concord for war decs, discuss how war actually destroys ISK. War destroys material. War only destroys ISK if BPOs and other items only available for purchase from NPCs are destroyed (not captured) and then replaced. |

And more specifically, war is one of the biggest reducers of wealth in the game.
Because unless you buy your ship from an NPC corporation, getting blown up is not an isk sink at all. In fact since you get an insurance payout, getting blown up is an isk faucet. But that's ok, if economic concepts and numbers make your head hurt, keep hitting F1, F2, F3 and tell everyone what a 'leet piwate you are.
