Gee they cant even keep there own stations load with gear, and if they do they put it up at 200%:

The market in all of our space seems to be permanently empty. This creates a logistical problem that bleeds out to affect the alliance itself.

Currently the corps in alliance are not contributing in the market. They keep their production to themselves or put sell/buy orders in this forum. This affects the alliance in the sense that it lowers our combat readiness and ability to react to any attacks or to prepare last-minute for any CTA or offensive... all because there is nothing in market to equip your ship with on a lastminute notice. Those few individuals that sell items in market do so are incredibly overpriced rates and that, regardless of how 'trader-like' it is, hurts all of us.

Here's what I suggest:

-Assign each corp a small list of items they must produce and keep market stocked with. Vital items like ammunition (all types T1, Faction), tackling modules, frigates (for tackling) can be built easily by any non-industrial corp and in large numbers. Industrial-leaned corporations can be assigned to supply jump fuel, battleships, cruisers, t2 ammo and t2 drones.

-Each corp should have a player assigned as their market-master. This person is the one that takes the production assigned to their corp and places it on market. This will remove multiple entries for the same item and allows the prices to be kept at a rate set by the alliance (Read: not 500% overpriced).

-People found placing overpriced items on market should be fined or booted. Selling a 10 mill ship for 20 mill is just war-profiteering.


If the above is done we may see the day that our stations can each provide quick arms and ships for alliance even in the middle of a scramble order. As it is right now we have many players going out to fight in badly fitted ships or in ships they are not specialized in just because they didn't have time to build up their own stockpile or because they already lost it in combat.

Planning for an Op is good, however it is the market that ensures a rapid response.
