A simple dynamic economy would be cool to see in the game and would make things a little more interesting. Currently we have fixed prices (that are WAY too high) for everything, and the only reason they change is if the devs decide to up the price again by some arbitrary percentage. I say, in light of the attempted economy reboot, that the item upgrade costs by dynamically tied to Open Space trade routes.
In Open Space you can see transports from each faction (federal, Imperial, Jericho, ellydium, etc) flying through sectors and being protected or destroyed. They don’t have any purpose what so ever at the moment and this would change that.
I propose that all items and upgrade prices be given a set price in credits, and for each transport that successfully travels a route, the cost goes down by 0.33%; or if it is destroyed, up by 0.33%. This way, players will have more incentive to guard or destroy transports depending on their goals.
Transports should also get a re-work. They all need drone guardians, possibly shields, and definitely auto-turrets. This way even without an escort they can potentially defend themselves. Players also need to be able to select whether they wish to protect transports or destroy them, so that they are able to buff/debuff and heal them if they want to.
This would make open space a much more interesting place too, as transports wouldn’t just be some background entity but a key part of the game.
And in the Russian forum for a discussion of the economy, you would immediately receive a deletion of the topic, and with a relapse - immediately mut for a day ”)
And here you can do this?

We can discuss nearly everything here, we will just never see any developers or so. Only our community Forum Mods like OP.

The rules are (Most likely unspoken): “You can not discuss the economy”.

If you want, I can translate the text and post it on the ru forum.Let's see how long the topic will live.

This likely means the world economy. Not the game economy.

Which usually means that Devs are not going to discuss it with you, and proposals will be ignored. Nothing really is different on English forums in this regards.
Given that there is an actual section for “leveling and economy” it would seem that it wouldn’t be against any rules. Xp

That is what surprised me
Well. that is always a good sign, you should see some of the posts made by the sour folk around here, but I take it that is no rare sight on the RU side either.

I would make a joke about English vs Russian economies here but I don’t think that would go over well with anyone. Xp
