ideas for improved income for low levels

i had an idea for making caps not apply to items produced in an empire. this could possibly be limited to low levels lvl 5 and below. this would not apply to purchased items, those would still factor into caps.
another idea is a daily drawing for each empire you own. the roll of the dice would correspond to a random prize list on the daily drawing page. what you roll = what you get. or there could be a pick your own prize with a set of 12 doors with hidden items behind. picking a door reveals your prize for the day.
im trying to come up with ideas to promote activity and reward the activity with a boost of some sort. ideas are always welcome!

Produced vehicles already only count 50% towards caps. A daily draw per empire would be rather... generous.

Haha, you people think admins still look at these forums.

last i checked low levels dont make many vehicles.
and the drawing doesnt have to be millions in nevcash, it could vary depending on level. just something to promote activity.

Daily drawings are already well established within the f2p genre, specifically for that one critical purpose: keeping people logging in. Some sort of daily wheel of fortune type thing wouldn't need to be overly generous to have the desired effect.
Its just another example of something thats been tried, tested and proven by the online gaming world that could have beneficial application on neveron.

there are a few that do. most stopped selling when ore went thru the roof in price. Also try to protect the items up for sale tends to get to be a pain as well. It makes the zone they are selling from a larger target.
Honestly, to make more money in a lower level empire, just watch what you buy and mob. An assault mech is great for killing things, but costs alot to keep mobbed. And in order to survive these days, having a high land cost because you need to be tented to hell, hurts income as well.
Promote activity? thats what surrender income does. And yes, there are level 1 empires set for giving out surrender money. They are a good start. Keep the ideas coming.
One main thing i suggested was increase the maximum for a level 0 from 25 million to 30 million. This would allow a 0 to dow an empire, then buy or hd on someone not next to their empire.
