I've made a few suggestions earlier in the Dev channel on DGC's formal discord server and I'm posting this here so members that do not have discord can read and participate in the discussion. Please be civilized.
Quote:Talking about gameplay, why not boost the price of platinum (up to 220 cr) and have Liberty/Kusari doing skirmishes in Galileo to take control of the resource?
Doesn't have to be full-blown war in roleplay but gameplay wise you could let the two houses duke it out for fun.
It could be tested as a limited time event.
That means a 29 credit boost to the current prices which would:
-Increase traffic (both lawful and unlawful) to Kusari/Liberty
-Maybe an increased activity for both Houses' factions
-More unlawful players (pirates/smugglers)
Right now the majority of activity is around gold and iridium which are the highest profitable HRCs in the game, you may think that it's balanced this way as there are no trade lanes and routes are taking longer but people shrug it off as the profit is good.
Also introduce an in-game bounty system for police characters that shoot down unlawfuls, far less credits if they're on cruisers to prevent abuse of the system.
I'm aware that these things have happened in the past and are doable, it just needs attention to make things fun and this game needs more of that before keyboard warrior roleplay.
The good thing about this is there is no need for a patch update (yet), a system announcement that things are getting heated in Galileo between the corporations and authorities have to be involved to prevent a corporate war leads to rumours that compromised officers violently remove corporations belonging to the other house.
Then players will get time to organize their factions (LN/KNF so on) untill a formal announcement and the changes are implemented.
Again, this doesn't have to actually happen in roleplay in the scale it might happen ingame but it will give players the chance to field their ships and give life to the region.
