How to improve economy and force crafting, mining etc...

Already posted on PCF, but maybe A-Team would be faster than Caly Dev team!

I can offer a simple idea to improve the economy. This idea is already working on Arkadia (so there are all possibilities to implementing), and remains to implement it everywhere. You do not like manufactured weapons, armor, or a FAP? No problems! Buy crafted full TT (L) FAP and put into refiner. The result would be a TT amount of Universal Ammo, and maybe something else, such as Mini-ModFAP (L) for only 100 uses (weapons - ModMerc's (L) for 500 shots and so on...). Thus, to obtain a Mini-ModFAP(L) you must destroy maybe 1-3, maybe 30-100 crafted FAP, which are made by crafter for you. And pay them a MU for crafted FAP's. There can be other mini items, looted during this process, and higher level refined item (weapon, armor, etc) can give higher level (but always with limited use) reward. Also, Universal Ammo, given during this process, will limit your maximal possibilities to buy and refine all around, because UA should be used in hunting or mining, and cannot be traded. All mini items should be tradable, of course.
Where taken the idea and mechanism: on planet Arkadia, Aakas instances crafted Arkadian Keys requires processing to a mini keys. During refining you have a chance to get Alpha Core Cards.

Or may be something like this: Gyro Combat FAP-22 (L), full TT + 1 Redulite Ingot (or maybe Scoria leg) ---> refiner ----> Adj. GYRO Combat FAP-22 (L) (just 10% TT value of original item!) + UA + possible SOOTO loot (Gyro FAP Improved (L) (1 PED TT)).

Also forgot, there can be also all these shitty (and good) boosters, pills and drugs in SOOTO loot

 

I have thought of this, don't quite recall where I suggested also, itens with minimum condition shold be also be converted to res, but I thought as a recycling terminal.

 

lol i will have to try this with tt stuff that i find and not use.

 

Did I understand this correctly? Put Item X and item Y into refiner, use it and get Item Z in return? Or are you suggesting putting decayed Item X and shrapnel into refiner to repair it?

I would very much like to see shrapnel being used as a repair measure instead of spending PED by using repair terminal. But seeing how this could mean less deposits to the game I doubt MA would favour it at all, even if it meant happier customers.

 

someone finally took notice of my idea and push for a stock exchange..... I have been mentioning this everytime someone complained about the EU economy since I joined back in late 2014.. saying we NEED the stock market for a real economy.. this is no joke, as some would consider over the sheer magnitude of the effort.. PLEASE PASS THIS ON AND/OR REQUEST ME TO ELABORATE OR COMPOSE A MORE COMPREHESIVE EXPLANATION (of how my native NYC M-E-T-R-O financial district manages to excell at the exchanges-meeting_demands amongst independent businesses as applicable to the virtual community)
