So what do you suggest people do to increase corporations being more productive and better Nathan? Why would a guy join a corporation faction then?
He gains enemies as a bad thing, I am sure Lane Hacker should and will harm an Ageira trader more than harming an Indie trader. And Indie traders can certainly form an "un-corporated" faction and enjoy benefits such as convoys, hiring mercenaries and enjoying diplomacy treaties.
Corporation cannot offer anything higher then, since there's no Government to actually offer benefits to a Corporation as well. It was one of things I thought would increase the appeal of corporations. Since you disagree, and think restricting traders is a bad thing, I suppose you believe that Corsairs shouldn't pirate anyone who comes to Crete bringing commodities, because he's doing it to benefit Crete, and Corsairs shouldn't touch that, regardles of his affiliation.
If there is indeed a better way to make corporations more appealing (like one mentioned here before, with ID and affiliations having discounts) then I'll gladly take them because they harm noone and benefit everyone.
Isn't ageira's ID actually allowing them to do the action they did?
Quote:. If that is going to be the case, then my solution is very simple : I'll make sure that those commodities are not profitable enough to transport to attract interest from people who don't have a dedicated interest in transporting it.
I can't see how is lowering the profit form corporations commodities that have been "contracted" as an form of punishment any better than what I was trying to do.
Since everyone stands to lose alot if certain commodities are being contracted, then I guess I'll have to ask the money back and cancel the whole deal, since it's invalid roleplay and I won't do an invalid roleplay. And penalty for continuing it is severe.
@death's overtorture and rest (just a disclaimer)
I am exploring what possibilites I have, and my primary goal is to roleplay within common sense rules and benefits of entire playerbase. That is why I ask things like this and why things are discussed here before action has been taken. It is not in our interest to whore out, and we certainly do respond to constructive criticism.
