If this has been suggested already then another vote in favor of it. Suggesting >100 CTP be made available as one of the random daily rewards.

CTP has gained enough in game value to be worth a random windfall offering. Thank you for your consideration.

I think 50 CTP AT ABSOLUTE MOST would be better...100 is a little too much, no one would trade anymore if this were the case.

Open on the amount, whatever the community feels is fair. Thanks for replying.

Add to this to counteract this say a 50% energy refill artifact too.

As for the calculation:
Sqrt rank * 4
that's 69 CTP for a rank 300.

But no matter the calculation, +1 from me.

Possibly. I would rather get CTP than mineral units though which are of no use to me and more frequently the reward i get over both of those.

I like all of the daily rewards, honestly. I got 2 billion from today's reward. That's 2 more days upkeep. I prefer some more then others, but I'd only go for CTP if it means I get research less often.

A rank scaling payout is appealing. I cannot see this killing the market as the reward is only given to so many people per day randomly.

-1.. Drops the rate of Ecubes and Trimats. One full energy bar I can get well more than 100 or sqrt(R)*4 or pretty much any non-OP formula you can come up with, just from NPCs. Plus all the other goodies.

My upkeep is over 16 billion daily and covered by mining. I have to buy CTP with minerals or arti so any opening for CTP to show up is going to be welcomed by me. One or two from an NPC drop is not going to get this Level 7 base finished lol. Just a suggestion I enjoy the game and the community.

One or two? It doesn't take a few thousand energy to kill an NPC

I concede that an entire energy bar dedicated to hunting tech parts should yield more than a reward formula would. Could still be nice to not have to do if I have other uses in mind for my energy like base dumps.

One or two tech parts from the NPC drop. Have not gotten any more than that off them.

But you'd kill more then one in one energy bar.

100% -1

We already have enough options for the daily reward, we don't need another one which is quite frankly pointless.

Fact: the % chance of the various daily rewards are not the same, namely GP is rare.....
Therefore, it is perfectly possible CTP can take proc away from SOME other rewards while leaving others untouched.
Therefore, the counterargument of "CTP will lower tri-max/E cube" can be bypassed(circum... somethingy, can't spell that word~)

However, Mineral is part of the daily reward draw
Minerals-->CR-->KU(purchase or save up by not selling)-->trade for CTP
As much as I like the nature of GL where community and random friending is not forced upon the player, I feel this minimal amount of player interaction is acceptable, and therefore the above described method is sufficent for all intents and purposes.

Therefore, I neither support nor oppose the CTP addition.
however, should CTP addition be made, it should be under the condition that it does not affect tri-max/E cube rates as above described.

circumvented

I like CTP as a daily idea, preferably a set amount instead of rank based though.

-1 for any high rank. It will reduce ecube/tri chances and 4 hours worth of mineral or research (if converted via contract) is enough to buy a lot of ctp even at current appreciated prices. +1 if it replaces the 2 rank points
