Forcing Pilots to pay to dock on NPC bases?

[Veygaar]

It doesn't make sense in RP. It is just a Player group grabbing money while inRP their faction should be losing money for buying scrap.

InRP Gallia is losing money to buy this commodity. But the player faction will GROW in credits because they're not the ones who are actually paying people to drop it off. So the player pokets INCREASE while inRP GRN should be LOSING money.

It's abuse of the trading system to make a quick buck.

This is OORP and ABUSE.

EDIT: Maybe not intentional and not thought over long enough. But still abuse.

I get the reasoning behind it but getting pissy at an OSI convoy that formed before the announcement for docking on a base with the scrap that wasn't even the base it is sold at is kinda lame. They were obviously docking there to get this all sorted.

Yes. Half of Sirius hates us. Imagine how easy it would be to ship a bomb in a load of scrap. If you don't like it, take it to the Council.

Except nobody else has a sell point like that, so there is no taking it elsewhere. It's "put up with our demands or gtfo"

Textbook definition. Poor attitude manifested as an even poorer excuse for gameplay. If you wanted some roleplay at of it you could've demanded something productive out of the situation instead of producing a ransom note with a "screw you" attached.

Back when I was still in the GRN, we did Gallic Permits in 2010 and it didn't seem to bother anyone. Now suddenly a base gets the highest premium scrap sell point and the official faction puts a similar rule in order to get some roleplay/interactivity going and it's a big deal. Why wouldn't they cash on it?

Regulating a commodity doesn't come as abuse to me, preventing a player from buying a ship is a whole different matter.

lets be honest. Back in 2010 GRN didn't matter.
No one cared

"waah waah i have to pay a fee that i can make back in barely two 5k loads waah"

Gallia is a very secluded area hated by quite a few important people in Sirius. Letting everyone and their mother in without proper registration would be a stupid move.

Of course. That doesn't mean the players get to make a quick cash while inRP they are losing money.

For them to only get a up side without any effect of the down side... is OORP.


NOTE: I don't even trade. I'm just astounded by the blatant OORP money grab going on here.

"waah wahh im a Pilot who wants to be paid by rich traders because i can barely stand making two 5k runs myself"
"heres my one line explanation why you should give me free money, aren't you rich enough already?"
-is what that sounded like to me


My only real qualm is the concept of a few players making some free coin off everyone else. This statement can be agreed upon by most here, its certainly why folks like yourself explicitly complained and cried soooooo much when POB's started.. *gasp* restricting passage to specific areas
Sounds familliar dont it?

I haven't seen one bit of roleplay centered around GRN keeping Pilots out of Gallia in months, until they figured they could score a ransom for it two hours ago.
Create whatever logical reasoning ye like for it, it still is what it appears.

Ah, the OORP money grab that doesn't even compare to what the traders will be making? An independent license would be less than 10 million. A group is 100 million. Less than 2 5k loads of Scrap.

Well, to be fair, you can't either. You just jumped them.

Easy fix: boycott Gallia.

[Alley]

Okay let's be realistic for a second now: If this is considered as abuse the admins will weight on it.

Alley was right.
