Well, the title says it all.
As most lawfuls also tend to pirate with other chars for profit ( yes maybe just for fun)
Why don't we encourage them to stick to their lawful character and have a salary every day/week/month.
100k every day? ( lowset mission gets you much more than that ) but why not?
I would be the first one to sign in, even though I do ten times more than that in one mission, I still think it would be satisfing to know that I get paid for risking my life. ( ya know.. )
And this goes for Lawful chars only, for an example ;
Fighter/Heavy F = 50k per day
Cruiser class = 100k
BS and up = 150k
i think it's a good idea,however the salary you have mentioned ain't worth adding them,because a battleship almost use 1 mil to get nano after 1 single death[let's face it navy only use cap in pvps],not to mention that you get at least 50 mil per hour if you play other characters
i suggest rebalance the so called salary to at least include the repairs plus some extra to call it "profit" [every hour of course]
But..the police should only get a salary if it hasn't gone to conn in that hour and if they made an arrest so it wont be abused[maybe some simple script with yes/no answer from the pirate/lawbreaker ]
People want to believe that God has a plan for them.
They don't wanna believe that anyone else does..
Money for having a char in your account somewhere, or idling in space while having the game minimised? Hmmno. If you can make some kind of case for determining wether or not there's actually a human in front of the keyboard rather then a ship being set to circle endlessly or fly off into nothingness at 5 m/s, then this idea would be viable. But I can't think of any ways to make this exploit-proof.

Have internal bounty-like boards that pay police by the arrest. Stop a smuggler? Get the value of the destroyed cargo. Zap a pirate? get 1 million. Things police fatcions should be doing. Also, have a thread where traders can inRP kudos helpful policemen and the cop gets a bonus. Police factions would get a nice boost from that.
Im penniless, rotten in a fight, and have authority issues, but im back!

This, plus make the house official trading factions to pay for it.

or better:tax the pilot who breaks the rules,that will also push for more rp rather then 1 line kill ->would like to see that back
