The goal of such changes is to give more flexibility for Citadel owners to make a profit when charging their services to the public, while making sure they are profitable enough to compete versus NPC station services.

- Jump Clones: current price for installing jump clones in NPC stations is around 100,000 ISK. We are planning to increase that amount to 5m ISK to install a jump clone in NPC stations. That price will also be payable anytime a clone is left behind in a NPC station - so, if you jump clone away from a NPC station from previously established jump clones you will still pay that price. Jump Clones installed in Citadels will not have any NPC taxes, but the owner can charge his own pricing for the service. We also want to remove the maximum limit of jump clones for Citadels: like Citadel offices, your alliance, corporation or public customers will never be denied usage of this service if you grant them access in the first place.

Please remember those are still work in progress changes (especially the market broker's fee tax amount), so please use constructive feedback in your replies.
Bureaucracy is increasing in New Eden and increased cost of Jump Clone usage is one sign of this. With the notorious paperwork there should also be a form for receipt of this cost possible to forward for reimbursement. For NPSI communities fighting the big alliances one whale at a time it is important to muster enough pilots. A cost increase in Jump Clone usage will be possible to reimbursement from the loot of the careless big alliance pilots. A receipt mechanic would be necessary, keep in mind that NPSI communities don't have access to API keys like the major corporations/alliances. A receipt would be necessary so as to not pay every fleet member the Jump Clone cost, but only those that actually used a Jump Clone for that particular fleet.
Or you could just scrub the Jump Clone cost increase.
