Just a question about the Alliance bank purchases are the bank increase for the alliance permanent or do they apply to the alliance members only? Like if you join an alliance get the bank increase and then switch to a different alliance does the bank capacity go with you?

I'm not an alliance leader anymore so don't know what this page looks like, but it sounds like it would be nice to have a box to manually input a value as a multiplier for the bank increases. Either that or have more convenient values than 1%... say 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%.

As someone who's done some of the bank increases for Delta it would be -very- nice to get a multiplier so that I can say how much naq to spend on bank increase.

I agree. Multiple would be nice. Especially to save clicking "Add PPT" 12 times/week.

I thought you could buy PPT just once a week? Anyway...
Not a bad update in itself, but multipliers would indeed be helpfull....

Unless it's the alliance PPT, I don't think so R8.

there is the limit of 12hrs PPT/week
and the 'limited' amount of naq that you have in your alliance bank

That would explain the ridiculous increases in bank size.
This must be a bug. *alerts boss*

It's not a bug, it's working exactly the way it says it will work. 1% increase for 2b alliance naq.

Regardless, the boss has been alerted to the effect of bank sizes increasing up to 1 million %. Don't suggest you think that is natural, because you and I both know that regardless of what it says, such freebies in such quantities are completely ridiculous. :roll:

There's a reason the bank size increase was limited via Market Trades in the first place. It is unlikely that reasoning changed in the past month.

LOL It was mentioned before the update that this would be the effect.

And to be honest most player banks were tiny anyway. So they've been increased to 300trillion, that actually makes the game fairer and better since they can now afford extra covert levels themselves in their own bank without having to either pay someone else to hold naq, or buy the naq with $$ to get it all at once.

Fair enough.
Although a million % increase (which isn't all that much for an older alliance with a good average income) on an original bank of 75T like mine, is quite the boost. Could now store 75,000Q Naq. How do we call that? Quintillion? :-D

Good, if it's nothing it's nothing.. I'll have cried 'wolf' without cause. ;)

Um no it's not that much :)

Depending on the bank size - take yours for example approximately would have gone from 75t to about 200-250trillion with spending about 20-30t of the alliance naq.

If someone had 100t in the alliance bank that's a max of 50k% upgrades.
