had a dream that this was implemented....

Dan created his own "base" but it's available to anyone, has it's own tab "Galaxy Arti-Mart"

enter and it looks like the theory lab screen accept there is a counter with Dans alien character behind it with an audible "Welcome to the Art-Mart what can I do ya for?" (garbled English with hint of alien to it)

below are different options

#1 : "top-shelf" area for Galaxy Points and special arti's to buy with GP's

#2 : "essentials" this is the barter area - you choose from list of the arti you need, then it branches out with option to barter , trade either: credits, on-board minerals, on-board artifacts or research points. (possible combo of all)
(trading multiple arti's for 1 arti you select various arti's in your cargo until the scrap value meets the cost of needed arti)
will kinda calculate things out for you....
thus eliminating the now issue of deciding what things are worth and trading via group pages and such.

#3: "structures" a separate barter area for planetary arti's ... but works the same.

then when you confirm the barter dan says " insert witty statement here "

go ahead an elaborate, add to this concept

????huh i dont get what your saying

he's talking about a similar idea i had for a "wandering merchant" ...... a place to purchase or trade for hard-to-find objects and such , except it would be dan the man's character...... a neutral space station where one could acquire all those nano 's they need lol

+1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

I love it, if you could trade tech parts it would be even better, as im sure people have realized by now i need all the tech i can get

I wish dan would comment on more of the suggestions.....

i think he's real busy right now getting base combat into the next update

true but ...... in the year I been playing i could probly count his comments on game suggestions on my fingers n toes vs how many hundreds of suggestions...albeit some don't deserve comment...lol
