The other part of this incentive idea is to have a system where new submissions would replace the ships with the least amount of purchases. They could potentially stay forever if they are being sold AND being updated by the creator when the server config changes.

Again as the title of this post states, this is to get ideas on what would help boost the garage ship designs. My suggestion is to have a kickback to the designer. This is causing way too much debate focusing on the wrong topic. What other suggestions do we have to fill the garage?
There are still over 30 empty slots. I would love to see zero one day. While it is appreciated by most, there is not enough encouragement at the present time. The empty slots are the proof of that 
If your time is more valuable then money, then buy the trader and be happy. My time and money stay always in a good proportion - if i need more money i work a little more (i am a freelancer) and thats it.
But I still spend days creating ships for pvp (not garage ships) - and i am still learning. I see building ships as part of the game, as having fun. Thus it is not “work” - and imagine i do it for free.
And as said above, why do you persist so much on getting credits for the ships?
I am sure this will not happen, and you see - many people are against it:
Why not try to come up with ideas/rewards that are not credits like I tried (and I am quite “new” to the game(coouply hundred hours), so most probably my suggestions were lame)
I am sure there are many things to be found which Rexxxus and the others will agree to, and which will improve garage ships - we just need to come up with them (instead of saying “yes credits” - “no credits” hundreds of times (This last sentence is not directed at you but at everyone here)

Wow , i don’t even know how to build a hws garage ship ( with hv sv or base parts ) or how to submit it , i would love to know and learn do . I do know how to put a ship , that came from my resources on the server , on sale . So logic that i get 100% on such a sale . For a to HWS submitted ship it costs no personal resources . The reward that it gives for now is fine , one might consider to make it a choice , get 1 ship , get some RP or get the cash worth that one ship .
A good ship builder is a content creator and that should be rewarded .
A good trader is a gamer , a very wealthy gamer , as he is good at it 
Just my humble thoughts .

the point is I am a builder, not a trader. there are lots of incentives to drive people in the market but little drive for the garage. please don’t think this was a ploy to make money. i don’t consider “work” on garage ships in a negative light. i very much enjoy building. most dont know but i have built and submitted 9 garage ships with 3 actually making it to the garage. several hours of building and working with @Ju on making them garage worthy is what most do not know about. this is time that i have sacrificed missing out on actual HWS game time, thus missing out on in-game credit earning opportunities. it is easy to dismiss someone’s request when you do not understand the process they go through. as i have said many times and it keeps getting ignored. the entire reason for this post was not to put up my one idea to be constantly bashed. i did not make a poll because this is not a vote at all. this is a post to come up with ideas that will help builders want to make more garage ships. i still stand by my suggestion of a kickback and would like to hear other suggestions rather than hearing how bad mine is over and over.
by my count in this post there are more in favor of a reward than opposed but that is not the topic. the topic is for coming up with ideas to motivate builders to make garage ships. my suggestion is a kickback, my suggestion for a kickback is 10% credits. people don’t agree, i understand this. not wanting to debate which idea is better here. this post is for a collection of ideas that can be put in a pool to vote on. was never meant to be an inflamed debate on which aspect of the game should pay out more. we need to look at all the possibilities we have in front of us. this is a great game and wonderful community. let keeps the ideas flowing.

thanks Caedus. this one is hard to sift through the noise.
Bumping this to get more input
Alright i read most of this topic now.
There’s 1 important thing you missed.
Reward for selling ship = Buyer getting HWS Connect notice.
This means if a faction bought many of some ship, the creator would know an attack is coming. That’s not a good idea, and a unfair advantage.

again, this topic is for ideas on how to fill the empty slots in the garage. not a debate on what is fair and unfair, not a pool for political drama, or a battlefield for the builders vs marketeers. I am only trying to see what incentive would get new names in the garage and fill those spots. I would be happy to debate the other topics (other than the pointless political drama) on another post. I don’t see your name in the garage Dark. what would help u to want to fill those spots?

I’m not trying to start a discussion, or continue the one above. I’m just stating that getting direct reward for building ship can cause trouble.
First of all, i’m not playing anymore, but i’m pretty sure there already is a reward. I think you get your ship for free(once) if you get a accepted ship. Maybe some don’t know that. Maybe i’m wrong, but if i am then that should be the reward.

You are correct, for a successful garage submission the player will receive a copy of the craft as a thank you. If the player desires a finical gain then they could easily sell the item below market value and still receive millions of credits for their time.
The other point here is many players enjoy building and submitting for fun and that’s how it should be not for out and out finical gain or as a tool to get the upper hand and dominate your opponent.
then why are you disagreeing with things that do not matter to you? if you don’t play here anymore, it shouldn’t matter how things are run. im not saying don’t come back, actually the opposite. come back to HWS and see what changes are there for yourself.
yes i 100% agree but the empty spots are telling me this is not the case. there are a lot of things that “should be” but never pan out. if it’s not the reward keeping the spots empty, than what is? that is the entire point of making this topic.
When the garage sales/ show room was first implemented (I think it was back in 5.0) the area had both the sv, hv and cv’s within this area. When the cv’s where moved to space it left the area looking a litel empty and on this I agree but whether this is due to a lack of submissions or JU being busy working on other areas idk but I am sure if any are submitted that meet the high standards they will be looked at for implementation.
I’m not playing “Empyrion” anymore. I still really enjoy all HWS that isn’t empyrion. For example i’m constantly reading the discord, and the forum.
And this might not affect me no, but i still have lots of experience, and clearly nobody had thought of what i wrote.

if you do not participate, it’s hard to judge how things should be. lots of things have changed drastically with each update. come back to the verse and see how it all plays out. yes you have insight from past experiences but the universe is constantly evolving. hop in and test out the garage ships for yourself. rex put an awesome garage event that let’s us fly them all at no cost.
