I forsee a problem with the market. After a while people will only be able to trade in large increments resulting in lowerplayers not being able to trade and medium players possibly cleaned out in some areas after a trade. I prepose that you pick what you what to trade and what type of stuff you whant back. This way the exchange rate from now stays the same but players have more control.

Not quite sure what you mean - you already pick what you want to trade - unless you mean amounts??

I mean amounts. Because as it is now only the high players can get enough naq, medium players have to save for a few days for enough UU, and everyone has to wait awhile for enough turns. This will just get worse with time.

Precisely! Because not that many people have a bil naq and you can more acurratly control your assets.

By doing this it would hurt the top players. Thats probably what some of them are using just to maintain their rank. Also if you don't have the ingame stats for it then you can always pay real money for the stuff so it doesn't really exlude all players. I see what you mean though about having more options though.

How would it hurt top players? They would still beable to trade they just need to put in amounts.

What do you mean trade in large increments? The market changes with what's in demand. Granted that right now it's sitting at 1.01B naq=1110turns=8700UU, but that doesn't mean that it will always say that way. I've always understood the market to be like a set of scales(ie. when you have a lot of one thing the market shifts to maintain some sort of equilibrium). Since there's a lot of naq on the market the valuse of it has gone down a lot(ie. it costs more to get the same stuff), but what make you think it will always stay that way? Almost all of the time, when I use the in-game market, I trade for naq because you can get so much of it for relatively little of the other stuff.
I could see it happening that pple unload a lot of product on the market, but when that happen the take something in return, therefore there is still the shift in the market.
I think the market prices are wonky because of the big game changes, as all UU became miners, and pple look to trades or the market to get quick amounts, rather than waiting. So, I think things will equilibriate out with time, or at least I hope so.

top players can trade for
1.01bil=1100turns=8700uu
average players can trade for
505mil=600turns=4350uu
lower players
252.5mil=300turns=2175
this would make it easyer for the new or less able players to get a foot on the market and they would'nt have to sell there market turns to get a small % of the buyers trade it would also make the market alittle more dynamic (cant spell it) which would be go for all of use
the only problem i see with this is the maket being alittle crowded with all the diffrent options which could be alittle confusing for the newer players but we would soon get use to it
