For newcomers to ask questions to the other users... this section will usually answer most questions... requesting resources (naq/UUs/ATs) is not to be done here...

Question regarding ATs limit

Allright, let me give you a picture. The maximum tradable ATs are 9999.

Lets say i get a broker on 9k. Before i manage to accept it, a friend direct sends me 4k ats. I try to accept the 9k broker but nothing happens. I dont want to make the otehr guy angry coz he's waiting, so i broker a friend of the 4k, to be able to accept the 9k. Then i find myself unable to spend the 9k, before the broker timer runs out. How am i able to recover my goods if im already at maximum? :P

thanks

Or sell them. You can also ask a friend to hold them until you have room for them.

good luck with that, admin posts about 2 or 3 times a year lol.

if time runs out then my guess is

if you set the broker, then the AT return to you.
if they set the broker, then the AT return to them.

Re: Question regarding ATs limit

After the broker timer runs out and the other person hasn't accepted or declined your broker, you'll have 720 minutes to recover your goods. If they haven't been recovered by then, then they're gone for good, no one gets them.

Trust me, I know from experience. I brokered ATs to some jerk who never accepted or rejected. Then I forgot to check my brokers in time and bam, the ATs were gone :(

Re: Question regarding ATs limit

No acctually when the person I brokered never accepted or rejected, there is no 700 min timer.

The ATs went directly back to me, EVENTHO! i was at the limit:

Turns: 12,141

so now im sitting with to many (theoretically) ats.

Hope its not like getting negative UU or naq, and the autoban will come in xD

so or every one to know this is a nice way to store ATs. and i dont see why there could be any limit to this way..

cheers

Re: Question regarding ATs limit

Don't fret about the 12,141. I once came across an account which had accumulated 71,500 turns and in discussions with Clarkey, he told me that the max you could legally obtain & hold was 50,000.

Lol this is a bit embarrassing to admit but I've only used 94,000 in the past 12 months. I seem to have done all right though. 6 ascentions and 128m army size. You don't have to be super active to get somewhere in this game.

well there are ways around everything, and some may still be holding AT from before the latest restriction were put on. Remeber you can gain them naturally, trade for them, buy them in the Black market, and recieve them via USS purchases.

AFAIK there is NO limit when it comes to USS purchases.
