Ok so everyones strepped for cash.
mining sucks the big one.
when you sign up you get a measly 50k (for new players)
sugestion? indeed.
- Apon signing up you get a base 500k
- Every rank gained after this a player will get a set ammount wich increases with each rank
- To prevent abusing this, (get FA and money, demoted, get FA and money, demoted), if some way to track a persons progress was devised, they would only be awarded the lump sum of cash once.
- the type of credit bonus im talking about would be big enough to fully finance a battle dread (when gained the rank to use this ship)
comments, sugestions? ive had less than 3 hours sleep in the last 48 hours, so i might be thinkin crooked.

I agree, money now is more like insurence and a way to stop people gatemodding. Adding in a money payment for rank would help a lot as you would be able to make your ship better as you grow in power.

I still prefer the idea of a salary based on rank and time played instead...

Nah.
I made 8 mil in an hour using a mining station. Half that and you get how much new players can make. 4 mil is plenty for scouts and frigs.

this isnt eve space jack, no one wants to spend an HOUR in the MV mining.
i dont pay to play a game that is sitting doing nothing.
and station mining? how many mining beams you have? how long would it take to make 8 mil in an exctractor.
and Why on earth can anything but the exctractor even mount mining beams?

Heres a thought for the original idea - if they get demoted, they lose the $$ that they get when they get promoted.
So if you get 10 mill for being promoted to FA, and you get demoted to Admiral, you lose 10 mill... simple, neh?
