Corporation shop

[shell glacier]

While brainstorming for a senseful suggestion, i would like to give a probably useful advice: the Corporation Shop.

This works as a market shared amongst all players in a corporation where you can buy or sell artifacts.

My idea is to put a single station in the player's star system, capped at 1 per system, single-level, and buildable only in a free sector, where you can send a transport ship to access a tab where are displayed all artifacts sold by other corporation players at a player-set price, chosen between hydrogen or credits.

If this seems too op, i can say that you can add an option which for example a RS4 player can't buy a RS9 artifact (which is already ignored by diplomatic relationships), but only equal or lower levels.

This helps lower level players to keep up with the fast-enveloping environment at early stages, and also helps high-end players to upgrade their modules faster, which at higher levels farming can be a little painful (for example: lvl 9 laser needs 2500 units for upgrade, and most levels of artifacts give only 10 units (boosts excluded, but if included, still gives a maximum of 150/180%, 15/18 units more). Also, it helps you to target a certain category of artifacts you want to research (eg: weapon artifacts).

Last but not least, corp market should be available at RS4+.

What do y'all think? suggestions are welcomed ❤️

Quick summary:

Corporation Market

• Available at RS4+
• 1 per system
• Single level
• Requires free sector
• Needs 1+ transport ship docked to work (but you can still view what's on sale if not)
• Before selling an artifact the price is automatically set but you can change it still before selling, both Hydro and Credits
• Bought artifacts will be loaded automatically but still need research
• Artifact sales are capped by level (equal or lower not higher) and cargo space

This would allow alt farming again. Trade main arts for alt's resources, then diplo with alt to return the arts back to the main. Repeat.

the main difference is that higher level people can help lower levels, and lower levels can help higher levels. With diplo it's only higher levels helping lowers. Also, at higher levels credits are very important since as of now i didn't see any player reaching max level planets since DN came out

my previsions are to make the game 10/15% faster, which personally is a balanced improvement

Your response does not address my criticism. The feature as you described it would bring alt farming back into the game, and with hydrogen being more important than in HS alt farming will be very impactful.

understood. Thanks for the advice

can you come in #general ? i want to ask you something about this "alt farming", but this is not the right channel to talk about
