If you have a normal sized planets , you buy max defenses (10,000) the upgrade it to above average. BOOM, you can now sell each one of those 10,000 planitary defenses for 10,000,000 more Naquadah than you payed for them.

In other words, a free 100b NAQ for every planet you do that to.

In other words if you keep stealing small planets and doing that, a free 700,000,000,000 Naquadah per week.

Needs fixing. ;)

(they can even show off their success on the tv show 'flip this planet' )
they are limited to how often they can do this by the ability to get tiny planets, so it is not an 'infinite' ability....

so - not a bug.

Selling planetary defences, should be done by way lower rate.

At this rate, what it is in dev server, we wouldn't need any banking system anymore :)

But othervise very good work Jason =D>


Sigh I just lost a massive post responding to this but im not typing it again ill just summarise.

1. You wouldnt make much back anyway, I mean above average can only store so much defences, after this you'd have to go to large where the cost to build defences is 60 mil and sell value is 50 mil, I dont see many people paying those kind of losses when they have a bank.

2. If you make the sell rate lower, you've just destroyed all fairness the update put back in.

3. Larger players with bigger banks, wouldnt benefit, and everyone will become larger and have a bigger bank eventually, so stop being mean to the new players who now have a little mini bank.
When I was new id store naq in weapons to buy spy levels, now with the sale prices of weapons id be lost - heres the nice replacement.

4. It wont be "safe", so not a bank, which protects amounts of naqudah indefinetly, so if you want to use your planets as a bank you do so at risk of loosing all your savings.


Admin has already stated that its not a bug and can be used by anyone willing to bother. Free naq yum.
I dont really agree tbh, 100 bil is quite a bit of naq to be able to get free, and altho one individual it may not seem a lot, but it gives the same bonus as a 100 bil a day income planet :/, and also if someone made like 50 multi accounts to do it, thats 5 tril made right there.
But yeah if admin wants to leave it as a way to make free naq then ill be making it whever i can :)
