Right now the VO manufacturing economy is fairly robust, due to things like Greyshop and the various manufacturing guilds being very active. This is a little surprising considering most of the manufacturing missions are for the trident, yet we still sell a lot of manu weapons. We all want more manufacturing options and more ships we can make would be very cool as well, so I propose that we come up with recipes for more ships and weapons that are reasonable, similar to the Superlight, except perhaps with a few less Hull Panels and Outer Hull Plate. If the dynamic economy gets implemented throughout the verse, or even just greyspace, players could manufacture ships and sell them to the stations, which would then sell them to whoever. Perhaps there could be new widgets added that are blueprints, and to complete a mission to make say a rev, you would have to have a blueprint widget in the recipe, which you would get back when you complete the manu mission.

Great idea!

But...

we come up with recipes for more ships and weapons that are reasonable, similar to the Superlight

That would require that we actually get new ships/weapons that we can build then. Because there is no merit in building ships that are already existing and that I could buy for a few credits right now.

And new ships? Right. That's not gonna happen too soon.

+1 more manufacturable items!

Not for new ships, for existing ones; the merit is in making the economy more player controlled and less infinite everything. We all agree that credits are basically only of academic interest after a few hundred million, so why not have the more advanced combat ships be a little pricier in greyspace?
In fact, I would like to see recipes for some of the commodities out of straight ore. Maybe in big batches of a few hundred or so.

So you say all ships that are worth anything in combat should be manufacturable only? Say goodbye to everyone who plays this game for its combat then...

No, Sieger, that's what mobile users are for -- they are our proletariat, slaving away to manufacture ships for PC players to carelessly destroy in our grand and glorious battles of consumption, which drive the economy that will finally give their pitiful lives meaning.

That's assuming you don't blow us up while we make your ships!
