Edited by: Naervic on 19/03/2008 21:15:44 I like the OP's idea... I would even go a step further and to prevent alts and such from buying and then selling to their mains. The equipment would be locked out from being used by whoever the industrialist chose. Say an industrialist doesn't want to sell to Goonsquad due to their flagrant destruction of miners, then he can lock out all equipment he's using so that it will not activate or work when used.
Now of course there should be a way to get around this perhaps pricey hacking of the module/ship/ammo. The idea gives a way for industrialists to wage economic warfare putting embargoes on those they don't like. If such organizations are big and cohesive enough they can put an equipment strain on alliances. Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed filesize of 24000 bytes -Valorem ([email protected]) |

Originally by: Ulstan What if you could sell kill rights to bounty hunters?
I think that would be the most awesome fix, as it might make bounty hunting actually worth a crap :p
Selling to bounty hunters wouldn't really work because you have to podkill to collect the bounty and that'll get you concorded. Also I don't think that would do much to stop suicide squads in the first place.
That said though, transferable kill rights just sound completely cool to me so /signed. ______________________________

That would be part of the risk of industrial pvp, you risk reduced profits. But your reward/goal is to starve your enemy of supplies.

Someone else not as shortsighted as you would step in to fill the shortage. So basically, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot.
Therefore, I must go ahead and /sign this so I have more stupid people to laugh at.

read this thread... your shield booster will not help, you need a passive tank... you just hope the gistii a-type small shield booster survives so you can loot it with your alt...
the gisti a type has a 2 second activation time. it will cycle a few times before they can get a second volley off, with some resistances you should be able to tank em

well sure it's not a 100% fix, if we want to kill you we'll just get a BS and a cruiser to double penetrate you and there's no tank that can defend against it.
But if you want to make it so that the most common attack ship, the solo blaster brutix, can't kill you, just fit a gistii a or pith shield booster

Originally by: Sakura Nihil While a "boycott" feature could be done, something that would prevent you from selling to a player/corp/alliance, its bypassable. All it takes is an alt.

I think he's referring to Goonsquad who has targetted a large number of industrialists. Now if this large number refused to sell to Goonsquad, they could be put under alot of strain depending on the size of their own economic branches.
Also if the boycotting industrialists hold expensive tech II BPO's or are primary inventors of certain ships and modules, then Goonsquad could not gain access to these items. Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed filesize of 24000 bytes -Valorem ([email protected]) |

How would you stop your enemies from using alts to buy stuff?
Aside from that, how would this actually function? Realistically, you would have to make those market orders invisible to your enemies, which would cause quite a thrashing on the market db server. Not to mention the current logic that dictates that the lowest order is the one you buy from would have to be changed, and I imagine that might be a big deal (as I doubt they would put that limitation in for nothing).
Solving problem 2 is easy: just throw money at it. The first question I posed, however, has no solution I am aware of.

Originally by: Sir Bloodclaw In the spirit of this offensive behaviour by the goons and their whole purely provocative Allah/jihad campaign, I want a mining barge that can be fitted with a cloak and a small scale doomsday. So I can take it to their home systems.
And do what, speak harsh words in local after it gets ganked? We fight for the ONE - We die for the ONE Don't troll in your signature please. -Hango |

Like I posted above, to prevent this from happening, industrialists could actually create their equipment to lock out certain alliances or corporations. Thus there would have to be no change on the market db server, except to maybe to highlight in red certain equipment they cannot use due to their affiliation.

Edited by: Kuar Z''thain on 19/03/2008 21:34:45 I see the Troll-Sensors are a bit off today. 
As to the OP, you would instantly create a black market with 1-day old alts buying gear for the factions you are trying to boycott.
Adding a "Can My Alliance Use This" modifier to the code might not seem hard, but I'd be willing to bet you're barking up the wrong tree with that suggestion.
I like the idea of being able to transfer Kill Rights and I think we should discuss this option further.

Originally by: ghost st Suicide Ganks, Give us equal countermeasures CCP!
Ok so heres an idea. You already have a countermeasure, its called paying attention to whats going on around you. Surprisingly, it doesnt require CCP to nerf anything, it just requires you to do something else besides "set it and forget it" when u mine. ____________________________________________

I believe that CCP should introduce a system where miners and other industrialists can pick and choose who they buy from and who they sell to.
This set of pvp tools for industrialists should allow them to specify, by means of standings. Who can buy thier items, or who they will sell thier products too.
This is the best idea ive ever heard off in or out of EVE. Ever.
Simply brilliant. Economic power. Brilliant. Awesome. Excellent. Im amazed. Omg...

I don't see any reason why you couldn't have 3 options for selling:
an inclusive relationship, where you add members, alliances, and corps to a list for purchasing. an exclusive relationship, where you add members, alliances, and corps to a list for exclusion. and a simple, it doesn't matter who you are option for purchasing.
That would cover all of the bases.
Issues are:
database strain - there's a lot of items out there, and it would take a bit of horsepower to sort through for every request to purchase anything.
faction outposts - these are owned by no one, but used by many. You cannot prevent individuals from docking there, but should you be allowed to dictate what's for sale in that station?
Outside of these issues, which have been brought up before, I still think it's a good idea. This would be a boost to industrial PVP, and I strongly suggest that CCP at least investigate it's possibility.

Having seen (but not been the target of) an attack, the 2 second start up time may not have helped much... in fact the gankers were bragging in local even before Concord arrived (.7 space)... the second attack came with concord in the area and took out 2 or 3 miners and a hauler (Pods included) with Smart bombs... but they were in barges not exhumers (first attack was a Hulk). The Ganker ended up with a -6.7 sec rating...
I will grant that if someone really wants to gank you, you will be ganked... and as much as I hate to admit it:

Dianeces is correct, just because you will not sell to someone else, does not mean I will not...

This is why we have taxes and such, the items passing hands that way would come at increased costs, and of course be a pain in the ass.

All actions are permissible, so long as every action has a counter.
It ought to be Eve's golden rule. Anyway, it's time for some balance (it's been four years since the first kestrels did this, now it's fleets of ravens). There have been many good suggestions in this thread and others, suggestions that would enhance the game and not ruin it for anyone, carebears and gankers alike.

You don't actually need an adjustment to the market interface to do a preferred sellers/buyers list, though it be nice. Just set up a web page and create the list yourself, who to buy/sell from/to and who not to. The more people adhere to it (might mean not getting top isk) the more effective it is. Avoid the open market, make all trades to individuals, corps, alliances you approve of. You can make the page accessible via the ingame browser and even set up a complimentary in game channel. United you stand, divided you fall.
