In recent discussions here in the space section i have seen some people that mindark should bring T back because traveling between planets would be easy enough as it is already by privateer and mothership and that it should be more easy by quad sleipnir as well - i think thats where the whole issue actually starts with the mindset that it should be easy because it has been easy far to long already. In my opinion for an effective separation of economies there should be no easy way - not for sleipnirs, not for quads, not for privateers nor motherships. It should be hard to do it should require effort there should be no way for someone to just buy a large spacecraft and to expect being able to provide safe flights between planets. A trained crew should be required to fly a large spacecraft through space. IMO it would get us alot closer to that stage if there were patrouling robotfleets out there and if we as well as them had radars and if larger ships would have a larger signature to be detected by enemies from higher range. This would assure that small ships had the advantage of sneaking past the robots if they made extended efforts in dodging aggro radar range - medium sized ships would already have to fight but still also in need of dodging the robot motherships - and the large ships would get the most attacks but still needed to be carefull to not run into to many opponents at once dodging the enemy fleets. Killing a robot ship or even attacking it should sent an alarmcode to the closest other robot ships to put pressure on playerships in having to move on. This type of space would force people to work together to make their way between planwets - be it that scouts on smalll ships which would scout passageways for other small ships or even for the larger ones or be it as working in a team together in keeping the large ships alive. There should be no way to jump inside a large ship to loose aggro the ship itself should have mob aggro and should continue to be damaged even if everyone from the outside seats would exit and go inside.
This would mean separation of economies and it would create markups exspecially if robots could loot players and if a ships signature would be furter increased by the number of people on board regardless whether they were online or offline...
