is this MSS like the status u get when trading 1000 g/r or paying. does this give u the ability to broker, give goods? can it not do anything the other statuses can?

as far as i know it costs them about a fifth or a tenth of what people have to pay to get a ppt.

i heard it doesnt get prohibited by the "preference -switch off donated ppts".
this should be included unless its shall be used as a tactical weapon by everyone who got the naq.

they can buy it for a but 1,5bil so i don't realy get the point of spending 74bil on it, i mean it's easyer to farm someone and send them the naq

one purpose would be setting a friend to ppt when hes not at home or cant get online for a day or two.. then it might be worth the additional naq.

we suspect it might not cost MT, but dont know... (we cant afford to test, and we have far too small bank anyways...)
if it doesnt cost MT, then it is suddenly worth more...
as currently, it costs 7.4 billion to get one, and if one were to use that mt instead for turns, it would cost 18.5 bill, but the profit from farming 500 mill for each 15 of those turns would be 69.5 billion... and when added together, the difference in value would be 76.9 billion, which is in fact more than such gift costs... and many even farm for more than that, so the actual profit could be even higher...

when was first implemented, there wasn't many checks >_> it could get around the "not accepting donations" checkbox.
it does have a tactical purpose, mainly through being able to put allies on ppt, and what not, but i'd have to double check some features of it first...

I was tired the other day when I noticed it, but I tried to use it to give SS to one of my friends who just started. It wouldn't let me, so that brings me to believe that it follows the same protocalls as normal market ss's, meaning it uses a market turn, accounts must be 2 weeks old to use it, and it can be blocked.
It is just speculation..but it makes sense.

so u guys dont think it gives u the same benefits as FSS so no broker ability?

since regular Market SS doesnt give broker, then this probably doesnt either...

Just to clear something up.
It's 74Billion, not 7.4Billion, and it does say Market Supporter Status, not Full Supporter Status. I tried to buy it for a friend who does not have Full Supporter Status because I thought it gave full supporter status (which has had me wondering how the game would continue to make money). But then I'm a noob for not reading it properly. Anyway, he still has full MT's, he checked the accept donations button, but I still couldn't donate to him, so I figure it must be a full supporter only thing anyway (luckily for me, or I'd have just bought an expensive pointless PPT).
