Licence Issue...

Nov 19, 2004 gamejunky link
I seriously think we should have to go back to a capitol station and pay for licence test like the good old days. It is a little to easy to make money right now, and it jsut sits there unless you die alot. Paying for licence was nice because you could gain lots of EXP and go back to a station and level up a few times and go check out all the new things you could buy.. Now it's all automatic and just takes a little fun out of the game. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

I think the autolicensing is good for when you will level several times in an hour, but I also agree with gamejunky.

Maybe when you're leveling initially (1-4 maybe), it would update you where you are. Then at higher levels, you'd have to return to a home nation station. For very high levels (8+) you'd have to return to a capitol station.

Then when you get your high levels, it would be like a victory march home - Hail the Conquering Hero, etc. Otherwise, you could spend all your time in Corvus space and forget that you're Serco/Itani..

Not only do I want it back. I want to have to pay more for it. There needs to be something to use this money on and a reason to earn money.

you want to pay... more? Weren't they expensive enough when you get to higher levels?

I think the players who want to have it back and/or want to pay more haven't reached level 8/9 yet.

I think it's a little short sited to say they should cost more so we have something to spend money on. Wouldn't a better solution be something FUN to spend money on? Cap ships or fancy new equipment or a big war?

What happens when people stop power leveling? Then what do they spend there money on. I just don't get this idea of they should cost money because we have a lot of money. The people who have achieved acceptably high levels will end up with hords of money and the people still activly leavling will be broke. Is this an appropriate balance?

Note: I did see that gamejunky has more reasons than money and think these could be valid arguments.

I for one like not having to pay for the licensing. It sucked when it was first implemented and now bringing it back would suck even more. A tradeskill system would deal with the increase in everyones bank accounts. Perhaps going back to a station would work but having to pay outragous prices just to level up is rediculous.
