for the bigger players its a very minor problem got around easily. but for new smaller players its a nightmare. They have no bank space to talk about,
I had a new player buy 50 bil of me a couple of days ago, i took the time to tell him how to use the broker so he could get the naq & spend at his leasure, you need this extra time when you are new/unexperianced.
now thats all shot to hell,
why didn't he just add the leakage but leave the naq going straight into the bank, so you pay for the benifit, like a overdraft.
i can see good sides of the update, like stopping people transfering naq after selling fleets/weapons to other accounts. but i expect there is ways around this

Nah, instead of banking it, you just buy a bunch of weapons (attack if you want to reduce massing risk) and resell them later when you need them. Granted the sell/resell losses are higher (15% resell loss verses 5% for non-ascended banking) but it's one way to "store" naq for later use.

Well, he made the comment that there was no point in having a bank limit if it wasn't enforced which makes sense. Maybe increase the penalty for overbanking from 5% to 50% but allow it to happen, subject to the leak effect.
Personally, I would have set up the leak thing differently and made it more random so one turn you might leak 1% and another turn might be 10%, but meh. I rarely overbank, even when I was a small account, so this one didn't hit me close to home. I guess people that have gotten used to doing it are feeling more pain.
