If maps are to be sold for credits it should happen only after a few weeks of the game

As for Blum's...why not? people won't be willing to buy them any other time.

The idea is that credits shouldn't give any real advantage. If we sell maps for credits early in the game we give people who pay an actual advantage which would be unfair towards ´people wjho cam't pay(yes, I AM drunk), will fix it later

I like max Black Jack thingy.

News ticker could be a bit too strong.

Not sure about alliance banker since I don't remember how it used to work.

every time someone made an AA transaction they would get a post onthe alliance MB under a special topic called "AA" or something...the post said...

I am against that. It eliminates a risk. Credits should provide fun new toys(for example ship names) and eliminate work outside the game(for example selling smc maps few weeks into the game). They should not eliminate ingame risk or save turns which would be done if alliance banker returns.

i agree that you shouldn't be able to play blackjack while under protection. or maybe if you under protection you can only set 100 credits at max (instead of 10k) so you still can have the fun, but you cannot earn money with it. maybe someone wants to play it for fun.
it can say that only real man (out of protection) can set real (high) money bids.
with that i don't think a limit to the games played is necessary anymore.

i have nothing against the news thing (and news blocking thing)
should be evaluated if reasonable.
but you'll never see that spock was killed by someone! ;)

i'm against the smc maps giveaway. on the one hand we make it harder to gain maps from galaxy maps on the other hand we just give it away? doesn't sound right.

the galaxy map give away has a good thing, coding like. the more ppl in game see the full map the less size the db has. we save which sector hasn't been seen. so give maps out can decrease load on certain pages, esp. local map and galaxy map.
maybe give maps of one galaxy for 5 credits? not all alliances need whole universe and that way - bigger alliances have to pay more because they most likely need to see the whole universe. smaller alliances just need one or two maps.
not sure on the impact of game. needs to be discussed.

fine with ship names.

the alliance banker would be some kind of subscription? not sure. would tend to say no. but really no sure on this one.
