Yeah didnt quite realize that until I posted it ;)

But you know what I meant...the name is yellow on black bg...and the personal ship name and real ship name are white on the black...

Okay...on to the next part of the bars....should we have protection? Spock and I were thinking 10-15 minutes max per day at the cost of 5% of the ship cost per minute. So around 210k per minute for an ist. Any thoughts? Also I was thinking there should be a 30 second wait period before you are protected.

Where is this protection money going to go towards? If there is no good reason to put the money towards, then there is no reason to have more protected areas....

I say no protection... if people want to spend ages at a bar gambling there should be risks rather then costs for protecting yourself to stay safe.

If you want protection wear a condom. Seriously, do we really need more protected places? If you are going to add protection, make it a lot more expensive. Ship price per minute?

Ummm about the Ship name thing... You can see other people's ship names but I dont' see anywhere (Like on teh right hand side with ship info) that has your ship name for YOU to see yourself. This shoudl be added.

Protection is mainly for in case someone needs to go pee while they are trading....10-15 minutes isn't gonna help them in any other way.

Ok heres some things I thought of...First off...all of these came last night at about 11PM-1AM so they may be very stupid ;)

First is something about blackjack

currently at the start of the game someone could just go find a bar and play bj til they have 1 mil then go buy a nice ship and etc etc etc....First I think we should say no player with newb turns can play bj second I think we should limit games played per 24 hours. Maybe with this formula...

$max_games = 30 + (SMR Credits donated to Casino * 30)

Ok on to new things now...

First...how about a little news thing at the top of current sector that people can buy (1-2 SMR creds? per 5 days?) that would display the most recent news (within 5 mins) from the bar...would look something like this...

1/1/04 12:24:00 AM
MrSpock was kiled by Azool in sector 123

Centered at the top of current sector....OR we could have it display the persons most recent scout msg (within 5 minutes again) so it would be

1/1/04 12:23:45 AM
Your Scouts spotted MrSpock entering sector 123

once again centered at the top of the Current Sector...but maybe this could be blocked by traders if they pay 1-2 smr credits (per 5 days"?) to block it? :)


Next thing...

At the bars we could sell universe maps for maybe 5-10 smr cred? maybe more since they will probably be shared with a 30 person alliace afterwards ;)

Also we could sell full SMC maps (we already have the capability so coding is no problem) for 15-20 smr creds?

Lastly we could sell locations for 1 smr cred...like someone could pay for the location of the IST or UG

ok next category :)

About Ship names....maybe 1 SMR credit to name your ship normal....or 2 SMR credits to add HTML to your ship name (approved by admins).

Last thing...Remember we used to have that alliance banker....we could have that back with the cost of 1 smr credit per (5-7?) days
