I think we should be able to purchase MPDSD on the black market (the cash market)

Hmm, I bet if admin saw this it would be the fast suggestion ever implemented. Or maybe not? I don't know, but I don't see any reason why not.

I am sure he gets a lot of income from players buying USBs to get their MPDSDs that way. No real need to add them to the blackmarket.

No need to be cynical about what motivates forum.

Hmm, Thufir_Hawat you have a pretty good point.

But on the other hand it provides an option for people who are not willing to pay for USB. And hence the earning capacity for admin may actually increase.

It may also depend on how much MPDSD is offered per $1.

Well there are 7 days a week, maximum of 10 planets, and you can get 9 days MPDSD from the market per week.

So by me spending just $15.25 (not much) per week, i could keep all my planets under MPDSD permantly, overpowered? Yeap. I wouldnt have to spend anything on defenses, and wouldnt have to worry about anyone stealing them, can just ugprade upgrade upgrade, spend all the naq i saved elsewhere.

--- Maths ---

Do a Market Trade, 4bil = 320 turns, quantity 5
20 bil = 1620 turns

Sell these turns for Naq
1620 turns (23b/k) = 37bil

Therefore
1 market turn can give 17bil profit
1 market turn can give 3 days MPDSD

$0.045 = 1bil
$0.765 = 17bil = 3 days MPDSD

1 day MPDSD = 0.255

So you could get 4 days for $1

In summary, i think this would be too overpowered.

Raise the price.

Lol?

Price is set by supply and demand, that's how 'easy' it is to get in the above calcuations, cant just RAISE the price

I think you might be right Rich about being too overpowered if MPDSD was on the black market.

I think that we should be able to transfer MPDSD power between players though. I have already voiced my opinion about this in another thread about this sort of option.

However, if they (admin obviously)were to introduce MPDSD trading between players then they might actually loose a lot of money vs. introducing it into the black market. Because some players (like me) are willing to spend a certain amount of their income (not too much mind you) to buy SS to get a decent amount of MPDSD. If they were to introduce MPDSD trading then I would go and buy them off other players using naq (since I make over 1.3 bil a turn, this would be a better option for me) so they would loose my business. They are better off introducing MPDSD onto the black market.

And I think they will have to introduce one of these options one day because people are going to start demanding alternative ways to gain MPDSD.
From an economists view, lol

Why couldn't admin just set a certain price for MPDSD? leave it unaffected by demand.

....... why is there a yahoo bot browsing this forum....??

now to get on topic... anyone who would be willing to spend 60 dollars a month (EVERY SINGLE MONTH FOREVER) just to save naq on planet defenses really deserves to have untouchable planets.....

spending approximately $720 a year just to keep planets safe is like spending $20,000 in UU puting all of them into defense making a 10 quintillion defense, then you could have 24/7 ppt forever (well to protect vs. sabs then 5 quintillion defense and 5quintillion covert action.......) but who has 20,000 dollars to spend on a sgw game?

i like the idea of brokering MPDSD but could be abused with multies saving up MTs using them all for MPDSD then brokering them to 1 main account for untouchable planets (against game rules, probably very hard to ascend like 10 multies the way stats are now, and saving over $700 a year )

but would let n00bs without full SS get up a lot of MPDSD and then sell it for naq when they get SS (or maybe even trade like 100 days of MPDSD for full SS? )

long story short: i like to broker MPDSD but ill probably not be spending $ on MPDSD

i say $1 for 4 days is good i buy some

doen't really matter, because you need to buy atleast $10 worth, and you get PPT and MPDSD with the $10 PPT boost.

You could limit the amount of days you can purchase a month based on the number of planets you have or something like that.
