Jumphole Overhaul

[SCEC]

So what would you propose to solve the lack of interactivity between players as product of the decrease in server numbers Batavia? Like for example I'm in NY and I notice there's an ongoing activity in New London. How do you propose I get there on time and enjoy the RP and be part of the interaction before its over? What would be your solution to this problem?

The discussion was regarding how economic routes generate activity. If so, the RP going on in NL while you are in NY is most probably irrelevant to you unless you are an independent pirate.

If you are a player like me who does not trade at all and does not engage in piracy, you will find the whole discussion being irrelevant to you.

Where do you get credits? Missions?

Nowadays, mostly missions. Sometimes, mining. I am deadly sick of trading and am not going back. Besides, I have a few ships and have no need for more.

I think there's a bit of confusion here. You guys are thinking game play wise and its functions, like economy. Karlotta is talking about reinvigorating RP in the game considering the decrease in server population. She basically states this in the first sentence and reiterates this in several posts. Jump holes are basically the medium of transportation for Pirates and Smugglers, not made for Transports, Freighters or General Public. Yeah it might have an impact in economy but this directly affects the mayor pillars of the game RP and Server numbers. So several sacrifices may have to happen sooner or later unless there's another work around this issue.

The RP for many factions is limited to their ZOI so there isn't much troubles about traversing far as they have nothing to do that far. Even despite I play as Coalition with unlimited ZOI, there are almost no incentives that would make me go to Liberty however long/short the route is. Ease of access will not change much if there is no goal of going somewhere. What's the point of a convenient mug if there is nothing to drink? Batavia indicated correctly regarding trading, but that solution pertains to trading only by creating trading nodes where all traders would fancy going because of lucrative deals and pirates would follow their prey. It is a good solution because gives incentives for traders to go to a specific point rather than forcing them to take certain routes. If you look at real-life marine trading, you will see that due to revenue being concentrated in a few spots, ships choose the same most optimal in terms of time/benefit routes despite almost endless number of alternative routes.
