Could we get a FREE Slaves option? Roleplay

Communications Center General Discussion
1

I have picked up many slaves on NPC missions over the years and I feel like “Jettison Cargo” isn’t a very nice way of freeing them, could we get an option “Free Slaves” so we don’t have to trash them or jettison them?

Slaves should be a form of “fuel” for PI.

Bring them to a non-Amarr station and “trash” them. Safe to assume in their case it is a release instead of actual biomassing / destruction.

As it is a form of roleplay anyway relying on imagination for the sake of roleplay is completely justified in this case.

:thinking:

Just pretend they will live a happy life once released. :wink:

I did this once, years ago. It did not leave me happy. I also have jettisoned one set many years ago… and I can’t lie to myself, they’re dead in the vacuum of space :sweat_smile:

Maybe ask CCP to replace the trash it label with a free slaves label in case of slave items. :thinking:

Though if you succeed inb4 Amarrian roleplayers demanding a send to workcamp option as well. :eyes:

Maybe there could be a turn-in mechanic in Minmatar and Gallente space, that gives you say 0.05 and 0.025 standing increases respectively with those empires. With Caldari you get a small isk reward and 0.012 Minmatar standing. From a capitalistic perspective the Caldari turn around and ship them back to the Republic for greater isk expense to the republic than they pay you. You get a 0.1 Amarr Empire faction standing and decent isk reward if turned into Amarr.

Standing amounts are just being thrown out there for the sake of argument.

Freeing slaves should come with a hit to Amarr standings and a bonus to Minmatar.

Edit: Ah, I see Shion came with a similar point.

It’s illegal to free your slaves, they will just be re-enslaved the moment you jettison them. If you want to alleviate their suffering, the best thing is biomass.

Agreed - we should be able to turn over slaves to free them and maybe a reward and not be punished for having them/freeing them :slight_smile:

I actually like this idea! :laughing: I have containers full of them. I’m a hoarder, what can I say except I started when you could not CC into the game.

Unrealist but still a good idea for eve 2.0?

I asked for this, more than once, while on the CSM.

I proposed that people could be refined, like ore. Slaves in, tourists out.

That’s actually a good idea. Although then the question comes up: what will people do with the tourists? :thinking:

I think CCP sorely misses the potential of microtransactions. They should add a 1 PLEX cost to transmutate a batch of biomass, and suddenly they’ve got a steady trickle of income from 3 lines of code. A good deal tbh.

Freeing slaves should also give you negative standing to Amarr.

the Amarr should be given the opportunity to turn them into slaves :slight_smile:

Tourists in . . . .

I actually included that in the proposal, the process was a 2-way street
