I heard that Eve is a sandbox game, where the devs make the toys and the economy is run by theplayers.
But whats about the many npc stations in Eve, why can't they be run by players aswell. How about making 1 million shares for every station and auction them in an IPO, 1 station every week or so. The isk generated by the station in form of repair fees, sale tax, research cost etc. could then be distributed among the shareholders.
So why does enterpreneurship stop at 0.1 and higher, why can't we own stations there or at least parts of them in form of shares ? Lets take the Caldari for example, their stations are owned by corporations, so why can't i as capsuleer buy stocks of that corporation or at least shares of stations they own.

Do we really need rich alliances get even richer? _____________ I don't care what is nerfed, as long as it's not my "undock" button. |

NPC stations are there to demonstrate that large alliances are not the most powerful entities in EvE with their 500 ship fleets.
Furthermore you can imagine it would be pretty boring if you couldn't dock anywhere.
Owning "npc" station and getting isk for doing nothing in perfectly safe hi sec would be pretty horrible idea. If ya want station get a alliance and go to 0.0 mkay? 0.0 has pretty much it's own economy..

It's not for alliances in first place. Alliances can build their own outposts in 0.0 where they live. The shares of empire stations are for the small men or rich individuals that can't afford a whole stations like the 0.0 alliances. They'd have a chance to invest in something in small scale and be an owner of a part of it. Similar like in RL: a huge coalition of people would buy a whole corporation or a project and run it for themselves.
But the small investor is not excluded from owning a business project, he can buy a couple of shares for few $ and be a proud owner of a giant international corporation, albeit for a small part of it. So this proposal is tailored for the hundred thousand of individuals that are not in an alliance or big corporation and therefore can't set up an outpost or pos all by themselves, how can you say that i want make alliances richer

Well seriously, how would you stop the richest guys (who are often in the 0.0 alliances) from buying the majority of the shares with their deep wallets? Besides, the EVE NPC corporations are so huge that the shares would cost heck of a lot, and even then you could only buy a small slice of one. And the ones buying that slice would be the rich guys.

There is a interesting point, while it would remove/reduce a isk sink, it will not introduce a isk faucet (isk sink = removing isk from the game, isk faucet = introducing new isk in the game), but instead only moving them from player to player.
I think that for player owned stations the owner receiving the market tax and repair money will be only right. It will make trade in 0.0 much more interesting as the owning corporation would want traders.

There is something in the Drawingboard, not exactly what you say, but more in line with whole system control in low sec:
Viceroyalty
Viceroyalties are systems in low security Empire space which are administered by a player Viceroy, on behalf of their corporation or alliance. TheyÆll allow you to both turn a better profit and defend your chosen system from pirates, and act as both a way to populate low-sec space and an easier first step on the road to 0.0.
