I still think it should be a hybrid model - basic, limited functionality for free + pay for premium content.

I agree with Jouldax. Make the basic model allow say 1 or 2. Have the premium allow 3 additional with 2 separate ones assignable by the alliance leader.

I guess I really should not be posting but I do have some questions. If you can get something for free why would you then pay for it? Also why would someone pay so that their alliance leader can control 2 of their plot course hot spots that they paid money to get? Other then that, a few space game allow you to save plot courses up to five I think. Anyway it would be good if its in the game be it a pay or a free update.

No worries on you posting, you still belong around here.

Paying for a feature that you already get for free: Idea is that while 2 slots are good, having 5 slots is much better and facilitates your game enough to warrant being a premium feature probably part of a package.

Why would anyone pay for the alliance leader to have 2 of your slots, this way only one person has to make the change and it systematically updates everyone in the alliance thus improving op performance. I tend to see that one as a 2 additional to the 5 if you are paying, and no slots controlled by the alliance leader if you aren't paying at all.

This is what I would do. You enable a 1 sector save feature. What then happens is when a player tries yo add more sectors they are prompt with a notice. Pay 1 smr credit to unlock 5 more saved sectors. Then after they used those they can buy 5 more.

The best thing we need to do is add this feature without going to the bar.

Also will probably need to be really cheap. Otherwise, I don't see it getting used too often.

I took a calculated risk. Unfortunately, I am bad at math.

Yeah, this would not fall under the "expensive feature" category
