ppt - unauthorized purchase by enemy

I didn't see this mentioned before but I propose a checkbox (like the accept new officers one) that would prevent the purchase of a PPT for you by a third party. This would avoid the practice of an enemy alliance purchasing PPT on your behalf merely to use up your MT's.

Or - even better - you are simply informed that someone has purchasd you a PPT and you can use it at any time you wish!

Perfect, especially if implemented secretly so no one knew the new rule in advance. Imagine the surprise on the face of someone who had that as part of their bag of tricks and used it for the first time after the change went into effect.

could work like when you have 1001 gnr and you dont have FSS it shows a new option on the market to trade those gnr for the FSS.
shouldnt be hard to code

Well i dont know.. u get a ppt, so u can stockpile the alliances goods, trade for MTs out of the alliance, and sent the traded goods to the alliance mates, without the chance of it being stolen.... whats the problem with it?
U cant say u cannot get any MTs:)

But is it not true that you can void your PPT by attacking someone (after ticking the box)? If this is the case...they are wasting their own resoueces are they not?

Dunno - maybe you just have abox on the command screen that says PPT available - and you press it when you want to use it.
