i just thought it would be cool if there were different currencies to trade in, as in each race had its own currency as well as the standard ISK.
its feasable and it would add another way to make isk if you could predict the fluxuations in the currencies.
i reckon it would be quite nifty, it would add a new dimension. being able to have 5 prices on a ship.

That needs simulated, dynamic NPC corporations to work and be fun. With current static NPC corps with infinite resources, no balance, no objectives and activities but giving people Guristas Extravaganza lvl 4 thousands of times a day, empire aconomies have noothing to play with.

Different currencies would add an extra element to the market-PVP in this game. It would be worthwhile for people to move goods from one region to another, and would discourage a permenant trade hub as the currencies would fluctuate based on the trading that happens within the different empires.
Excellent idea... I just don't think it'll garner much support.

well, in different empires, npc goods could be seeded using that empires currency
it would indeed creat a different sort of market pvp, but it wont go anywhere, i just felt like musing about it...in public

i agree. It would add a whole new dynamic, expecially to traders. Though you have to have a wallet for each currency, and it would make life really interesting for the isk traders :)

Why would you want everyone to have a different currency? Even in RL they are trying to get everyone to use the one currency, its taking a while but one currency makes things alot easier.

because it would add another profession in eve, forex, manipulating different currencies to your advantage perhaps?
everyone wouldnt have different currencies, all your money wouldnt have to be in one type, you could have lots of different types
its just an idea

It makes me cringe to think of this actually being implemented. Can you imagine 0.01 undercutting in 5 different currencies?
On the other hand, it might be pretty cool to trade currencies. Real life currency values are based on supply and demand, just like any other commodity. EVE currency could exist the same way. Suppose NPC corporations 'create' 1 billion of their racial currency each one day. They are all in relative balance so they are all worth the same amount. Suppose one race has an influx of mission rewards so they hand out 2 billion: that racial currency would be devalued that day. Suppose a local market starts pumping out undervalued +5 implants sold only in the local currency? That currency's exchange value would probably skyrocket that day. I can see this being a cool feature.
And yet on the other hand, it seems to go against the general storyline of free and easy racial interaction. Plus, the storyline doesn't seem to make any mention of local currencies.

Introducing this would make for an interesting way of balancing the economy, but it doesn't seem likely to happen. People would get too confused way too fast, and the market would fluctuate wildly due to day-to-day changes in currency values.
Again, that would be cool, but too complex. ---------------------------------------------

aye, it would be damn damn difficult to implement, the complexities of integrating it into eve would be nigh near impossible

Please not! Adding more currencies won't change anything but make the game more confusing to play. Besides I see no reason why the races of EVE should suddenly decide to do this. For centuries they have now used a common currency and trade system. The custom to organize their life through corporations even predates the journey to New Eden... I find it likely that they used ISK back then already.
