Powertrading => RP Trade

[leonidos]

And then they all just pick proper ID tag ship and continue running silently. Aint fixing to that.

And that will be a neat and clean rp trade which is the objective. I belive it will fairly ditribute the whole trading population.
I admit i choose a wrong heading for thos topic which will better suit RP Trade.

I am so sick and tired of these threads where ppl Q_Q about powertraders. IGNORE THEM AND GO PLAY THE GAME INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING, srsly. It's totally up to them if they are going to be powertraders or not. It's silly to restrict someone to x ID if he transports y goods. THIS IS A GAME, treat it like one.

Nope. People will always converge on the most profitable one.

That.

There's simply no solution, they WILL continue to powertrade/powermine and will get their caps no matter of bonuses.

This isn't about capital ships, really it's none of your business what people choose to spend their money on.

This is about improving trader RP. And Xoria has done a good enough job that profitable routes are spread throughout Sirius.

I was thinking about powertrading problems and while price of commodities are increased i think soon we will see huge number of cap ships.

Implementing these will reduce powertrading.

Excuse me please, but your first post somehow made me think you were talking about "powertrading problems" and "capspam" since you kind of mentioned it, so i might have missed what you were talking about "from the first".


So yea, from my understanding powertrading is excessively trading on profitable routes... and i don't see a problem with that - that is even totally inRp for anyone roleplaying a trader that wants to maximise his profits.
If i got my Junker shipping Niobium Ore bought from IMG through Omicron Alpha to NB and who ships MOX right back to Valetta Shipyard, then that is perfectly inRP for a shady Junker supplying both sides of a war.
And both sides didn't care about what i was doing "at the other side of the jumphole" as long their supplies were coming steadily.


If you are talking about not-so-RP-Cargo.... then who are you to tell people how to RP their traders?

Even a Luxury Liner Captain can stockpile food in his CARGO-hold if he's up for some more profits when flying empty is the alternative.

One could even see the "passenger" commodity not as real passenger that uses cargo-space but just as a place holder for the place needed in the cargo-bay to supply the passenger (like water, food, whatever).
In that case a captain having no passengers could use his cargo-hold for other goods, like food or ores.

Or would you consider it fine RP to put the passengers into the Liners cargo-hold instead of putting them into their cabins? You aren't storing your ships crew in the cargo-hold either are you?

Well...

Okay...

People are going to do what they are going to do. Period. End of file. I don't think placing restrictions on trade will stop the so called "PowerTraders". I think it is silly to think for one moment that anything can be coded to change the nature of an individual's greed. I just don't see that happening. Where there is a will there is a way. Money isn't the problem here. Never has been. It's the lack of respect for what we do here. I too grow tired of lolwuts showing up in Gallia in a Rheinland Battleship and blasting transports. I too question the validity of many ships and traders I encounter. But that doesn't mean limiting people in their trading is going to make a bit of difference with regard to what they DO with their credits.

On a personal note. I owned a fully decked out Outcast Dread. However, I learned that I have a great deal to learn about actually flying one. With that self admission I did the only thing my conscience would allow... I sold the thing. I may get another down the road, but not before I've taken the time to actually commit to the reality of owning and operating one. It just didn't feel right to me. But again, that's just me. I certainly don't hold anyone else to my personal standard or opinion. In the end all I can do is try to do the best I can and stay true to the game. And yes, I realize it is a game.

Love n' Lustre,

Kyte
