They don't care about LP inflation, only isk inflation.

LP can't inflate anyway. All that happens when more LP enters the system is that more 'things' pop into existence from the store. And those things have to be traded for with isk.

Would increasing the supply of intermediary items that are used to convert LP to ISK to the point of devaluing them be materially different than LP inflation?

Reading through the reimbursement terms, would I really get a full 70m isk for loving around in a claw, trying to learn the ropes of solo PvP?

It sounds way too good to be true.

This is absolutely true (so long as your fit isn't ridiculous).

My fully fit/stocked taranis (bought in VFK) costs like 34 million isk. That means I can buy TWO NEW intys for every one I lose to the forces of elite pvp. I haven't taken the afktar outta the garage since this new reimbursement went into effect.

Also intys are so drat fun to fly. Being able to blind jump into any gates and just buzz off through bubbles while throwing up fingers in local owns.

We don't hate miners, we hate mining. Mining mechanics are built to be zero fun. There are plenty of goons who started off their ISK making with mining over the years.

You might ask one of the transportation companies in S-Mart about moving it to a hub like VFK or QPO and then you can ship it to Jita? I figure they'll quote you a price, it might be outrageous but I bet you'll get a quote.

Alternatively, talk to GSOL. They probably have a use for ice and would be able to transport it.

Yes, because only a small subset of items on the LP store actually require non-player created intermediary items. Implants require nothing but ISK and faction ammo requires a 1:1 exchange of the equivalent T1 ammo which is manufactured by players.

LP itself can never deflate or inflate because the amount of LP consumed in a store offer is fixed. The only thing that can change is the exchange rate to ISK. In order for LP inflation to occur, CCP would have to either manually adjust or introduce some sort of automated system that causes the LP cost of a store offer to fluctuate.

10,000 LP today will buy you the exact same items that 10,000 LP would have bought you five years ago, the only difference is the amount of isk that disappears in order to create the items.

Well, WHERE you are is sort of important. My guess is 0-2, in which case what you probably want to do is get it moved to a refinery (like 3jn next door) and refined in dek, and then export the isotopes and LO. It's generally a really bad idea to export uncompressed ice - if you want to export you have to compress with a rorq.

Also, how much ice are we talking about and what kind?

If you're in O-2, you can use the jump bridge to 5S-, which is a refinery as well. However, you'll probably want to bring the refined ice back to O-2.

You have to pay ISK (and sometimes intermediary items) to the LP store in order to get the items.

A +3 attribute implant, for example, requires 5250 LP and 5,250,000 ISK. Both of these costs are fixed unless CCP manually adjusts them.

Yes, but isn't the isk that you paid 5 years ago for said items (When using LP that makes the isk sink) the same as it is now - the only difference being what you can sell it for on the market?

What a shitshow - it's been said before but I feel for the BNI dudes who got sucked in to something they didn't want to do. I have no problem contributing to the more boring aspects of sov (sitting on a Titan for a few hours) in CFC as well as a noob can because the corp/alliance offers a great support network and environment. If I has to do that poo poo in the name of TEST or something in a group that doesn't even have enough cohesion to sort out comms, it would probably be a whole different story.

We should just redeploy down there and start conquering all the sov we can take without upsetting the PL agreement.

I know we don't want/need the space, it's not entirely practical, and lots of reasons why this is dumb, but I really don't want n3 to have anything, and that's where this is coming from.

The CEO of .HD.'s executor corp is the alt of a guy in one of the corporations who are, allegedly, not forming under the Darkness of Despair/Hand of Despair banner anymore as well. If that alliance goes, that's another 30 stations across 101 systems up for grabs potentially.
