It should be. Grind is unnecessary limitation for sandbox.

Ahh, you want to pay cash for standing instead?

Correct,

Until then though… To stay unmolested in highsec because of NPC’s I had to. The last thing I need is my highsec capital to be exploded because of some NPC.

I want risk and reward to be the limiting factors, not amount of time someone grinds to get standings.

It’s perfect risk vs. reward. Take more risk, less grind.

How? Do you know faster method of aquiring standings than grind that is now? That would be more reward. May be more risky.

Not waiting for NPC to kill stuff for you, but kill the high value rats yourself. This is much faster of course. Which btw gives good loot/salvage on top. Thousands of EvE players are ratting daily for income, so I don’t see how this is different.

The only point is, that you can’t get standing for cash like you can get sec status, but this would destroy a lot IMO.

Loot from rogue drones and drifters? Is it really so valuable? BTW drifters dont look good as targets, they kill you easily, the battleships. CCP made them so they kill every ship they want by that superweapon. So killing drones is left in a fleet.

Still, looking at other people, they spend too much time doing it. The definition of grind is that you make repetitive stuff all the time.

Say no to grind.

Sleepers and drifters, don’t bother with drones (only as a drive by). Yes, you can kill drifters easily except the BS. BS will wreck you, let them be killed by NPCs, focus on the cruisers. Sleepers are no real threat, even battleships unless they come in masses.

This is solo … if you are in fleet, nothing is a threat if you use the right combo.

It was a direct response to statement “you cannot complete courier contracts that involve Pochven region”.

My question is rather about payment. You’ve said that even 25 mil is not enough but then provided successful contract with 15 mil reward.
