And you find that sufficient? I have more honor debt than a Third World Country.
Even if they added it as an extra to the starbase it wouldn't make that much difference to the honor debt the majority of players have. The largest proportion of honor already comes from fleets, when you add voyages, airlocked crew and dailies on top of that I think starbases potentially could have something more unique added as a reward. I can't actually think of anything 🤔 Just seems that there are many ways of getting honor already I'm not entirely convinced we need yet another.
Empty soda cans are plentiful on the street ... that doesn't mean that going around with a shopping cart to collect them to redeem the 5 cent deposits is either a fun or effective way to pay off my mortgage.
(Are deposits even a thing any more or am I horribly dating myself?)
Deposits are still the norm in several states, though I think there is a bit more of a crackdown these days on people bringing extra cans from out of state.
And now I know
And on additional reflection I think I rushed to be cute and missed @(10F) Seven of One 's point ... which would I think be that increasing the deposit from $.05 to $.10 still wouldn't help me pay off my mortgage even if I pursued that strategy...
Is even trying to pay off a mortgage even a thing any more? I'm so out of it. Back in my day we had to drag our daily shuttles through the snow to and from school each day, uphill both ways. Then, by candlelight, we would carefully punch holes in our punch cards and submit them in batch mode to be queued up to launch our Voyages.
Not at all surprised by the results of this poll. There reaches a point when icing purple cards is just a collection game; outside of providing more event bonus flexibility, they no longer really strengthen your crew. The only thing that *does* provide a substantive marginal benefit is fusing up golds, which means honor. Lots and lots of honor.
DB knows this too. They’ve definitely sped up the drip over time, but I would never expect them to go too crazy with it. They likely predict that if you could get citiations with much greater regularity, a number of players (light to moderate spenders, I’d guess) would cut their purchases.

I understand the point you are making; however, an extra source of income is better than the current status quo.

I’ve dipped in and out of this thread/poll, sorry if it’s already been said.
Personally I need more honor. The natural flow rate (without making purchases) is excruciating.
But that being said, I’m confused why people think it’s a matter DB would care about. The reward for finishing your starbase is you get maximum skill base and proficiency bonuses - those rewards ARE the motivation. It’s not up to DB to motivate us further to obtain that, there’s no benefit for them.

Diminishing rewards.
If they can't keep us interested, they don't get my money.
