loitering?
So I try to deposit money in my secure planetary vault. To my surprise, the "guards" tell me not to loiter and throw me out before I can deposit my money! I ask you, what kind of guards do this to the supreme commander of their fleet?! And, more importantly, what the heck kind of addition to the game is this. It's creative, but not something I want to deal with at 1:00 in the morning!

you cannot "hang out" on the bank page....
you must go there, do your thing, then go back to your normal activities...
this message only comes on if you don't do any actions while on the page for a minute or so.... (or if you use refresh )
as mentioned above, it stops people from "auto banking" all thier naq while they are offline (and in the process further using server resources with the continual refreshing that is required to do this).
so - my question to those who see this - what were you doing that you could not go to the page, deoposit/withdraw, and ... done. ?
if there is a problem i'll fix it, but i do not believe there is...

Does this apply to the training page as well? I was trying to upgrade my unit production, clicked the upgrade button, and got some message about loitering on it as well. Something about do your business and train your men.... Took me 2 tries to upgrade unit prod, while a 860k was sitting in the open.

I was using browser window only.
You must understand my concern though. I was sitting out in the open with a lot of naq waiting for the page to load (which on the server these days can take a bit of time) and then having to hit the upgrade button all over again to get it to do something it should have the first time, which was like double time time. A few minutes out in the open like that is begging for an attack. Im all for making the servers faster yes, I see your point there, but im saying, I got the message and shouldnt have.
Heres what I did.
Go to bank, enter amount, click withdraw. Wait about 20 seconds (sometimes it takes long for page to load) page refreshes back to bank and shows the amount I withdraw. Click on training page, wait for load. Once loaded immediatly clicked unit production upgrade button. Page reloaded after click stating loitering message. At this point my naq has been in the open for a while. After I saw loitering message i clicked training page again, took longer to load. Immediatly clicked upgrade button again and waited. Then whammo, it reloaded and showed it worked.
My concern is only that I was open to attack for a period of time that seemed unacceptable.

My GF and I have had the same problem - I just went into the armoury to repair, clicked on a repair button, and was accused of loitering. There was between 30 and 60 seconds between the page loading and clicking the button, and it told me to 'leave or buy something'. Tried again from that page, and it worked, despite a similar delay.
This is weird, and annoying. Possibly a useful feature, but it needs some tuning! I just wish it were mentioned on the game updates page.

I guess it makes sense - for the bank at least. However, it's a pain in the neck on other pages when you're doing other things as well. I load up the armory, do other things waiting for it to load, go back having done nothing else on the game, and try to repair a weapon, and get told I can't. Charming.
Same thing also goes for bank, I guess, a little, and much more for training etc.
