Make everything manufacturable.
All ships should manufactuable. Nothing can be bought for credits. Credits are not good for manufacturers and pirates. Make also all modules manufacturable not bought for credits. Also only let people manufacture stuff at a conquerable stations.
You can still buy the EC and free power cell but not government issue plasma.
If you lose your free gun at the start of the game. You have to pay another pilot to bring you weapons.

There's nothing I love doing more than holding down tab in front of my laptop moving space widgets for hours on end. Yes, I want to suffer. +1
What if it was a a thing without the "unable to buy anything" thing?
It would make things too hard in my opinion
But manufacturing even if not everything, but the most used trade items by players (XiRite, Outer Hull Plates, Hull Panels, Synthetic Hydrocabons etc.) would be very helpful, and not neccesarily only in greyspace.
Making fighters would be a nice addition, where you could make everything they need mostly from just ore you have mined.

How dare you HunPredator. Some people built their Tridents in old M-7 with a behemoth XC. If they had to do that you should have to beg for your first load of carbonic to build your first mining beam.
Fully player driven economy sounds great, but difficult to implement, and even more difficult to maintain.
+1 I love great suggestions

That was a few years before, and not now. Also, building capships is always optional and not forced to anyone
But forcing something on players what makes progression excruciatingly long and grindy is not good.
I am not against subcomponent/weapon manufacturing, however i am against making the game to be nothing but a hard, tiring and never-ending grind for something you can get just for credits.

^ what HunPredator said. I'd love nothing better than to have more ships and addons that have a stat advantage and are manufactured. However, these ships and addons should be present in addition to existing ships and addons which are purchased from stations. Making everything manufactured basically means VO turns into even more of a farming sim and a multi-boxer's haven.
i'd plus 1 this suggestion only if we could steal ships from players when killing them.
A pirate never crafts.

Come on. We all know how enjoyable manufacturing in VO is. It actually out-classes PVP and PVE by miles.
@HunPredator
Playing the game is optional, so too is breathing to a certain degree, if you don't like manufacturing you should stop both. I think the grind adds to the accomplishment. If removing grind invalidates people's hard work then adding grind honours their work. Simples.
@Sid321
Multi-boxers pay multiple subs and are better for Inc's bank account. Inc needs money for coffee and occassionally food. Also I assume for the actual sorcery, that I don't understand, that allows my magic box to commune with other magic boxes.
@DeathSpores
You make a very good point. I think adding this with the ability to raid people's station inventory would be a really good mix. Sadly it is quite beyond what this suggestion covers. These two ideas mesh together really well. Especially cool is the idea of stealing someone's trident from M-7 and making them build a new one.
But now that I read this back. I think you mean by strictly PVPing an individual player? In which case even better! Have it so that once an enemy falls to 10% health their ship is disabled and cannot move until killed. Add in a simple module "Ship Yoinker" which allows you to transfer from an EC to their ship and causes the ec to self-destruct after the transfer. Once a player has been booted from a ship by an invading pirate, make them them wait a short time like an hour or two for "bed rest" and "medical care" before they can launch again.

So make vendetta Minecraft version not ruin this fine game.

Sure, why not make it easier for trolls to screw up game play and drive new people away.
-1 vo is vo not space manufacturing online
-1 This is just a horrible idea. Perhaps changing the way someone can capture it or adding unrats to these sectors to create massive conflict. If I recall that is what Inc wanted anyway more conflict.
I can't tell if this is a troll thread or not...
It certainly feels like a troll thread.

@Starblazz
Minecraft is a wildly successful game and VO just floats above the water. I think maybe being a little bit like a wildly successful game couldn't hurt. Although... are you implying that we should divide the community into PC and mobile versions? Simillar to how minecraft has an android version and pc version?
@Itoken
It's called Vendetta Online. There are no such things are trolls just pirates, reavers and mean people who don't respond to pms.
@Red Star 09
What would make you think that VO isn't about manufacturing when all end game content is built upon it? I say if this is worthy of end-game content then it is also worthy for middle-game and begining-game content too.
@Grim8419
I think that's actually a really good idea. Expand unrats so they randomly take stations and force people to log on at random. That sounds like the definition of player engagement. But... even though I really love this idea because of the potential of encouraging people to have to retake stations randomly at strange hours of the night, I don't think it is within the scope of this suggestion to keep tacking on new ideas as we go. Thank you though. It's a wonderful idea.
@Renaar
Clearly we've never spoken in-game before. I'm really well known for my love of manufacturing.

Yeah, it certainly does.
Troll threads are not a good usage of my time, which is why that's actually Rule #1 of Suggestions.
Reading and posting here can be very time-consuming for the developers, and the value of that time has to be measured against what other, beneficial things might be done for the game and player-base with the same application of time.
