ppt - unauthorized purchase by enemy

I didn't see this mentioned before but I propose a checkbox (like the accept new officers one) that would prevent the purchase of a PPT for you by a third party. This would avoid the practice of an enemy alliance purchasing PPT on your behalf merely to use up your MT's.

Perfect, especially if implemented secretly so no one knew the new rule in advance. Imagine the surprise on the face of someone who had that as part of their bag of tricks and used it for the first time after the change went into effect. :lol:

I like, totes need a nice signature. But I'm lazy to put one in. Just imagine one.

But is it not true that you can void your PPT by attacking someone (after ticking the box)? If this is the case...they are wasting their own resoueces are they not?

Dunno - maybe you just have abox on the command screen that says PPT available - and you press it when you want to use it.
