This is a great idea to help boost activity. I've wanted to roll GRN for a while now.
I see a lot of people saying "oh well cost isn't prohibitive, look at all these people with cash."
I think it's very easy to end up ignoring a large amount of people who want to get back into Disco or can't do all they want because they don't have the time or patience for that long, initial powertrade grind before the payoff of actually rolling RP. "Well you should start with snubs" yes yes, everyone ends up rolling fun snubs, but we shouldn't look in the horse's mouth when doing cool ships attracts activity.
Because of the navy, I have a hankering desire to roll mid-size caps. Also because of the navy, I don't have a lot of time to powertrade.
I like the JG idea, as well as making the region more economically viable. If the region is all mined out, perhaps a new form of gas cloud can form ( due to sabotage or accident) where mining is profitable.
A temporary price drop on Gallic ships is a great idea. I just don’t think the Valor should be lowered. That’s a special ship that commands a special price. Don’t deminish it’s significance. Besides, more cruisers are always needed.
