This is a pretty good idea. Pretty much anything that addresses the issue of factoring LP into nullsec income when you can only dispose of it by leaving nullsec would be a good idea though. I thought the goal with nullsec changes was to be moving us towards being self-sufficient?
I have 10+ characters with 1.5-2.5M LP split between several different factions per character.
I haven't bothered to cash out since these things were introduced because of the mindblowing headache going to 2-4 different LP stores per character then shipping all the crap to a market hub would be.
I don't mean to get all ~tism~ here but quite frankly, when you factor in the opportunity cost of liquidating, it's not a bonus as is, it's pretty much mockery. |

update: I actually cashed out my LP for 2 LP stores across most of my characters. Any LP store other than Caldari Navy is basically impossible to cash out without investing more time than than the LP is worth in terms of opportunity cost. Most of the items that aren't sitting well under 700 ISK/LP require inputs other than ISK and LP which have to calculated, purchased, shipped to the hub, etc. in a process that takes several hours.
It also occurred to me at some point that anyone ratting in a super with an ESS in system will basically not be able to cash out their LP without parking their super in a CSMA (not viable for players that aren't in a personal corp) or using a holder (not viable for players without a holder). No, I don't rat in supercarriers, stop looking at me like that. I do have pilots in supers that can't get out to cash out LP they earned before boarding a super without adding even more headache to the process, though, and I imagine for ~some people~ this is a legitimate ongoing concern. |
