How do you address the issue that is GÇ£ship insuranceGÇ¥. Has this mechanic become a new pilot thing? That is, only poor, low skill point pilots should use it and eventually discard it because it doesnGÇÖt cover anything later on, i.e., T2 ships?
I agree that if ship replacement wasnGÇÖt so bad, people would be more inclined to move out to do more pvp. Lots of backlash against this sentiment, even though we all know this is the truth. Is it better for CCP to not budge on anything and say the solution is to move to null where the ISK is better? Maybe, maybe not. Is that the case though GÇô is moving to null the solution. As far as being a pirate which might pay better in low and/or null, some people might not want low sec status so they can return to empire space at their leisure. ItGÇÖs almost like late-game ship replacement should utilize a bind-on-pickup system so it doesnGÇÖt get exploited in the market. However this is EVE and EVE uses no such mechanic, never has never will. It almost seems kind of unheard of to use BoE and BoP in EVE online. But, ships flagged as replacement ships that canGÇÖt be traded, or contracted across would help a lot.
Another way of looking at this, is to take the emphasis off of GÇ£shiny shipsGÇ¥ and move it to GÇ£shiny basesGÇ¥. In other words, it is expected for everyone to get into manufacturing at an early stage in the SP training and you make your own ships. The new pos system isnGÇÖt going to do it; thatGÇÖs still geared toward multi-member corporation. There is then the issue with getting materials to build your ships and mining cannot be automated at all, itGÇÖs boring, or how about market prices crashing because people would just sell their ships instead of use them for pvp and/or pve.
It appears that GÇ£fly what you can afford to loseGÇ¥ is the way. ItGÇÖs a lame one too. Lets face it, pvp would be more active it everyone had a new ship to jump into. There are a lot of fights that are over before they begin and everyone knows this too. This will mean more docking up and not pvpGÇÖing. There are a lot of people in this game that have to learn by their own trial and error (as stated above people just donGÇÖt know how to properly fit and use good pvp tactics based on the situation) and trial and error in EVE is an expensive loss.
