I really do not follow your conclusion as anyone with enough money could potentially do anything 

Unless this cashed up player has a corp behind them then they are nothing more than a very jucy target  ;)

who needs a corp when you own your own personal solor systym with a private army armed with a 100+ fleet of war ships

As has been mentioned before, if each subscriber has 3 characters, then one could always stay in safety with most of the quanta you have (if that bit of storage is unlimited). If bulk items/resources cannot be 'magically' carried around in inventory (apart from some arbitrary amount presumably still higher that real human carrying capacities), then I guess those things will need other ways of finding safety even in safe areas, right up to the scale of massive warehouses within territory units.

How much should death be more than just an inconvenience...? ;)

The question is: can you transfer quanta over long distance, or do you need to physically give it from one char to another?

If the first is true (which is most likely), then lootable quanta brings NOTHING to enhance emergent gameplay. It just creates another tedious ritual of sending quanta whenever danger appears nearby, and even more tedious ritual of sending quanta back when you want to use it.

Not to mention wasting one of your characters (not a big deal - I plan to have one at Ark all the time anyway).

So you still get an envelope with your salary  in cash from your employer instead of having it electronically transferred to your bankaccount?

 

The idea that Quanta and/or DAC would need to be carried on your person is just silly.

why should your hard earned cash be carried on your person? answer to make the game more difficult

The "harder" you make the game, the smaller you make the player base.

 

The smaller the player base, the less money NQ has to spend on improving and expanding the game.

you cant have a private army without it being in your corp/part of your organisation.

 

So my comment still stands ;)
