Just a thought
What if we had something like a fortnightly or monthly Auction?
Could be along the lines of
Single, Duel and triple planets up for auction
Attack Turns
Untrained Units
Reasonable prices to kick off.
Could even have 2 auctions within a 24 hour period to adjust for those in different tine zones.
Thoughts?

Re: Auctions
I like this idea. What about making it a “silent” auction where everyone pms their bid to the organisers and the highest bid wins ?

Re: Auctions
It should be made where someone places a bid, and that bid is shown for all to see, not the name. If winning bid, then you have 12 hours to pay else have something negative happen to the account. a reduction in income, or loss of turns, something to stop people from max bidding then never paying
It should be for 5 times the amount of the bid or it last for 5 times the amount of the time of the bid.
1t bid if doesn't pay would be 5t worth of goods/affects
30 day auction = 150 days worth of affects
Another idea would be auction of boxes. With % Chance to win something. So its a everything in it box, or could do 2 different boxes. So
70% chance of Naq
40% chance of Units
20% chance of Turns
30% chance of Single
10% chance of Dual
5% chance of triple
1% free ascension(for those under 23)
Maybe even in toss in something for ascended, or a 5%-15% boost to MS(maybe even scale the avg, so larger MS get the low end of a scale on the avg and the smaller guys get the high end of the scale)
I do like the weekly/monthly idea
weekly could be the naq/units/Turns where the monthly is single/dual/triple
Maybe even do a "High Stakes" box where you can get a free 2 day PPT, or 1 day PPT or even Black Market Credit. Something random. But make sure this has a high Price and the bids have to be over so much.

Re: Auctions
Something like this would have to be inclusive of players with lesser resource though, as is the lottery to a certain degree. Obviously if you have more naq, you can buy more tickets but being able to afford a smaller number still gives you a chance.
Auctions are only ever going to serve bigger players.

While I agree to a point. There is a TON of resources out there in the game.

Re: Auctions
So we have 2 options
Scale the cost of the auctions
or
Scale the reward of the auctions
Which do you think would garner the most attention?

Re: Auctions
I know it doesn’t happen as regularly as it used to but from time to time planets are put in market section and sold in a auction style there never seems to be over much interest why would a in game auction gather more intrest?

Re: Auctions
I like this format, However yes there needs to be a way to balance it out some how so the $$$ spenders are not just winning every auction.Seaborgium wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 4:10 am It should be made where someone places a bid, and that bid is shown for all to see, not the name.
