You guys keep talking about RISK, but really now .. is there 'RISK' in EVE any more or just 'Juicy Kill mails'?
Honestly, EVE ONLINE was a lot more exciting when people cared about losing their stuff as it was hard to replace and not about being on the wrong side of a killmail.
If you want to reintroduce RISK to the game, TAX all players on their assets. Got 999 Ships in your station? You got yourself 999 TAX bills to pay. Don't worry, you wont go into a negative wallet, CONCORD or some NPC will just remove your assets.
True ISK Sink set.
Why a TAX bill? Law of the game i suppose (if you needed a reason, this should do). Crews need feeding and paying (unless you're Amarr, I guess)
Crews? But I'm a mighty pod pilot, I don't need no stinking crew! Am I making this all up? Nope.
Quote:Finally, the solution evolved from the stationary defenses of all things. The Gallenteans
had employed mines for a long time with so-so results, but with the massive advances in
robotics technology taking place at this time the mines were slowly transformed into a
far deadlier object. The first drones were little more than mines with proximity
detonators and some limited moving capabilities, but soon they had advanced to the
level that a single drone almost rivaled a solo-fighterGÇÖs capabilities. The fact that drones
were many times cheaper to build than fighters and didnGÇÖt require a highly trained pilot
meant that the days of the solo-fighters were numbered. The drones reversed the tide
of the war and now the Caldari were scrambling to come up with a solution against
these new weapons. It didnGÇÖt take them that long - they simply upgraded their fighters a
bit, added some shields and extra weapons and called the new vessels frigates. Some
extra crew was also needed at first, but then the Caldari obtained capsule technology
from the Jovians some years later and could again reduce the crew to one on most
frigates.
- you need more then one person to pilot just a frigate, it soon ramps up (and fast) as you go up ship sizes.

http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/0911/Chronicals.pdf so TL;DR = RISK needs to be buffed, we have too many assets nullifying Risk. Strip excess ISK and Assets by TAXATION and remove the inhibitors to RISK.
Now, lets see who balks at this as all they really want is one of those 'juicy killmails'.
I'm guessing you really weren't after risk at all you little liars!
