In GC someone said "its internal trade for chaos allies"
two points came up in my mind:
someone asked to remove internal market because its destroying the open market - or list internal offers on public market.
This offer is something like that - and it disturbs me more then it helps. If all beta outpost owner would start to seed the market with such offers, the market window would start to be filled with 90% offers that i don't even have the chance to use, nor would i have any significant advantage with the knowledge: "oh, chaos pays 2NIC to allies"
a temporary blue or green status with chaos could be traded -> but if they don't tell that ALL corps in their alliance to do the same, for that 1 hour i need to haul stuff back and forth, it has the same effect as taking hokko as shortcut to get there...
If an alliance only has two or three corps, it could be done. But i remember last time when i just wanted to watch a big fight, how hard it was to get temp NAP from 10 corps at the same time.
yes nothing has changed since then - even the complaints from beta corps that they have to haul so much did not change, and if one alliance offers "NAP with Industrial bots on their island" the other alliance starts to come up with "intentions why they do that"...
To give you a real answer on this, We trade minerals back and forth because we don't have alliance features. You will also see cheaper then typical market bots and modules on karapyth market to help some of the smaller corps, and to sometimes get the recycled PLs that people get of regular ore to sell to these buy orders.
We have no concern with side contractors, on occassion i will use them depending on who they are. But I am not a big fan of supplying a producer who i know sells directly to the person shooting right back at me.
