MPDSD power

Guys, i dont know if this has been suggested or not previously but here goes.
I suggest that MPDS be avaliable to purchase ingame.
This can help smaller players as well as larger players.
Smaller players can protect those planets that they would normaly not be able to protect against anyone with half a mothership.
And can help those larger players who may of spent a small fortune to build up these planets.
It would also allow wars to go on longer than normal, as these days, wars seem to end straight after some planets are taken.
As planets are way to important to some players.

Re: MPDSD power

technically you can.

Buy a 50$ USS and you get 30 days worth.

But adding it to the cash market is an idea, just don't know if Jason is willing.

Re: MPDSD power

i just hope jason might consider it.
I know there are a lot of people concerned about some of these new updates.
This might be a way larger and smaller players can protect there investment.
Instead of people asking for full refunds and the like which i have been hearing people talk about.

Re: MPDSD power

The problem is that the more powerful players would be able to buy enough to keep all of their planets hidden permanently - which kind of goes against one of the principles on which they were brouight in - i.e. that they should be relatively hard to keep.

They can do that now mate. Like I said 50$ USS a week = permanent merlin of 10 planets.

Re: MPDSD power

If someone wants to spend $50 a week to hide a few planets so be it, let them get on with it, they just helping admin with the costs of running the servers etc etc....

You're pretty sure she said "Drink it! What's the worst that can happen?"

Re: MPDSD power

I read this as being able to buy them more freely in the market - hence my post.

If people are stupid/desperate enough to spend multiple $50 amounts to ensure permanently merlined planets then sure - I agree with GC - let them crack on!

However, I remain opposed to them being available any other way than what they are currently.

Re: MPDSD power

If people choose to pay $ that is their choice and i have no issues with that.
But i would also like to see them avaliable in market as well.

because realy, if you spend $50 just to get 30 days of MPDS
you might as well spend the $50 on Naq to get about. 8 - 10 Trill
and build a defence on it.

i just think that their would be a lot more wars, and lets face it. " it is a war game " lol ;)
If people were not so afraid to loose their planets all the time.
And i personaly would like to see a lot more wars in the game.

I have emboldened his suggestion.

Such a feature is already in the game... it just costs you 1 MT for 3 days MPDSD

His suggestion is so that you can trade for them in game and NOT for currency $$

Re: MPDSD power

Get grape flavored next time, I hate cherry flavored kind. 8)

So we have merlins in market at 3 per MT or purchaseable by buying a Supporter package. Seems they are obtainable easy enough.

Re: MPDSD power

yup, admin wouldn't have just made them available to those who pay $$ so that option was added.
