Investment income?
The thing I notice about EvE is, the npc corps never change. The empires never change (exception - FW system)
I can see investing in Materials Acquistion, if it meant getting better agents or access to new technology or better refinement research. To just introduce a new way to nring ISK in to the game just introduces a new farming tool. It may have short term benefits for the 'real' gamer but it will get taken over in time.
Investing in video games is old. Uncharted Waters from SNES is the one that comes to mind for me. Where you got new items to trade and new ships to buy based on where you invested. A far more elaborate system could work in EvE but like Uncharted Waters, if you stopped investment the tech levels would have to reverse. It would be an ISK sink more than a way to make money becuase the EvE pop doesn't really go up that much over time. |

Well if you buy stocks from a manufacturing corporation and you own enough stocks you have (some) saying over the corp.
So yes you can make a technological investment.
And remember that the isk you invest goes to the corp meaning they can begin new projects like the upcoming t3 construction.
And yes the player base doesn't grow much but people do switch corps and new corps are always being made.
And I'm not talking about npc corps cause they don't have a member count or tax rate.

The current EvE player corp system allows for investment via players but it has no safety net to prevent scammers from ruining it. Also, most things in EvE revolve around destructables like ships. I wanted to try and set up a system like this for BPOs but I couldn't figure out how to - make - myself pay on any investments other than via an honor system and I aint seeing much of that in large amounts of the EvE population. Lets face it, in EvE it would more of a badge to be the virtual Bernie Madoff than the virtual Steve Jobs. |

So Ocih corp has the option to be a publicly traded corporation when I create it. The benefit being, I get investment capital. The problem in EvE is, most revenue is tax and not profit. While EvE is a game of corporations, each corp is also an empire. Intrest on any public debt could become a fee just like office rental I suppose, forcing me to pay it. I wouldn't make 'Ocih corp' a publicly traded company but I see where you are going.
Fattening up corp wallets would get you higher on the list but balance is not profit. Still, to even do this in our own corps, it would give some use to our 2 alts, other than souicide scouts. |
