that's basically what i said... difference is, with my plan, you wouldn't have to have a preset amount of payments to purchase the level... for example...

lets ay for example that i want level 24...

Initial cost: 50,331,648,000

My bank only holds about 14 billion, so lets say i fill up my bank and make payments of 14 billion...

Balance: 50,331,648,000
Payment: 14,000,000,000
Balance: 36,311,648,000
Interest: 3,631,164,800

Total Paid to date: 14,000,000,000

I like it but i think we my need to drop the covert power (not it's efectiveness [u can still destroy the same number of weapons]) so that other stats can still have an affect on the alliance/commanded ranks (https://talk.gatewa.rs/viewtopi ... highlight=)

completely agree with that... or just change the alliance rankings to a system that works like the actual rankings do... gives a rank for each stat for the alliance, and uses the average to determine rank

i think the spy lvl cost should just be increased by like 25%(once in an update) and allow people to just deposit their naq over time into the spy lvl and no ability to withdrawl....

i disagree with this idea.

there are enough creative ways already to save for a spy lvl.
unless a small limit on how many times you could incrememt for the lvl, say... 5 total. i don't agree with it. if you can't get it in 5 deposits, or 5 days, it's likely too high for you at the time anyway.

Hey, I have an idea - let's make the income naq go direct into your bank - or put everyone on PPT!


Then we can all gain ranks without playing, and join my new alliance called Delta Force - the PPTers of the galaxy!


</sarcasm>


Not to mention the fact that this has been suggested before (shame on you Jora).

This is just silly - save up for it like everyone else.

It has merit for people who can't get the spy levels. Tough cookies.


Attack, and buy weapons, or bank it. Do it like the rest of us have and work your way up there.


Next you'll be saying "Oh, can I have a free PPT because I want to save for my next spy level?".

Exactly. There are enough ways already to save up for spy levels. If you don't like it. Tough.

What do I think? I think anyone who so much as thinks about suggesting deposits should be shot on sight!

But that's just me. :wink:

Im not a great fan of this idea, but if something like this was to be implemented it would have to be something pretty darn high, like about 20% to the overall cost of the covert level per deposit so that if you make 5 deposits then the cost would effectivly increase by 100%, that way it does still prevent people from getting a covert level that should remain out of their reach. In fact scrap this whole idea its really not gonna help the game improve at all.
Keep smiling it makes people wonder what your up to.

It was just a suggestion, calm down. I know how to pay my spy levels, I just thought it was a good idea, AND I didn't actually check if it had been suggested before, since nothing had happened anyways. CALM DOWN.
