basic bank size...

how about implementing a basic bank size for all players, and have the current system go in addition to the current one?

current:
Bank Capacity: 75% of Natural Income x 48 x 2 (ie 1.5 days of natural income)

our idea:
75% of Natural Income x 48 x 2 (ie 1.5 days of natural income) + 5,000,000,000 basic bank size

this will work so that newbies are capable of storing up at least a little naq in their banks...

EDIT: added poll...

yeah its hard when you begin and your trying to save up small amounts like 1.5bil for spy levels. Basic 5bil sounds really good.

I like it. I remember trying to mass attack enough people to use a full market turn or even 2x market turn, when my bank only held 200 mil :lol:

I would say have it where the 'natural size' is the amount of 1 full market turn of naq.

I like it. Having such a small bank space for the amount of naq I generate makes it difficult to save up naq for MT's. Even if it could be 5bil extra it would help enough to get things flowing for me.

I support this idea and voted 10 bil because it's a nice round number and would allow what would be considered massive savings for new players
