you trade on the market using UU, turns or naq for with a quantity of 2

To clarify that, in the market the first trade you must make is for support status (SS), which will come with a PPT. To do that you have to trade your UU, naq, turns, or $, depending on what you have and which server you are on (Quantum does not allow UU to be traded) for 1/2 SS. Above the trade button in the market you will find a confirmation square you must check, and a quantity option. In order to actually get the SS you have to select a quantity of 2 trades (this means whatever you are trading with, you must have twice as much as is asked for for one trade) in the quantity option. It will not let you do a trade for only half a SS now, and the other half later, so there is no point in trying that.
As far as getting 2 ppt's a week, that is the max you can get. You can not make any one trade and recieve 2 ppt's every week. You must trade for them each time.
As far as losing your naq, the in game mkt place is completely safe. No one can steal your naq there. If your naq is taken and you receive nothing in return report that as a bug in the "bugs" section of the Forum.

i have supporter status. got last week. now i know i cant be ripped of using marketplace, but i dont wanna trade in marketplace then get my money stolen when attacked. whats the point of trading 6k uu and get heaps of money just to be attacked. how do i use the 2 ppt i get per week?

carefully. I'm not trying to be sarcastic here (well, not too sarcastic). Time when you trade for PPT carefully. Make it count, otherwise you have wasted the 6k UU for nothing.
I would suggest, however, that you try to improve your position without using the maximum number of PPT's you can get. This game, while not overly hard or challenging, does involve some strategy. The standard strategy seems to be to build your defense and covert capabilities so that when you are not on PPT (which should be the vast majority of the time) you do not simply lose your Naq to everyone who wants it. I would not worry so much about anti covert, since that is mostly an offensive weapon designed almost entirely to really, really tick other people off.
You obviously have a nice covert lvl, but your total army size is less than 30k. My thoughts would be forget about trading off more UU for PPT's for now, and concentrate on building up a defense to match your covert, getting a better UP, and then improve your covert even more. The more miners you have, the better the PPT's work anyway. A good defense is one with a str of at least 1billion now, preferably more.
hope this helps.

HOld it !.... wait just a second!

Noo no no no no...
You will ONLY get PPT if you trade for 1/2SS in a multiple of 2.
You DO NOT get PPT if trading for resources, I.e. you will not get it if you trade for naq with UU.

if you want ppt you need to buy it
the 2 ppt's per week is your max you can buy
you need to buy 1/2 ss and mulity it by 2 then you have a ppt for 48 hours
then you can sell your uu and upgrade your covert level and unit pro
but if i was you i would'nt use a ppt all you need to do is sell your uu click on training then click on your covert upgrade
all the naq left over use to upgrade your unit pro click on it fast and keep clicking with out letting the page reload and you'll get through it fast
unless your really unlucky you can have a few billion out with out anyone noticing

I've never gotten a PPT, even a tempo one when trading for reasources.
Even doing MT trades...
Did you do Multiples of 5 or some such?
