My thought of what needs changed... as people comment and ideas come to me I will edit this list


#1 charge me energy to sell an item..... but not to buy an item
(kinda like eBay charges the seller....not the buyer)

#2 under my auctions "status" just needs to have the # of bids

#3 Auction times need shortened 1hr / 3hr / 1 day

#4 regarding the auction sorting buttons , should be able to click a button a 2nd time and get the reverse order.

#5 add a "materials" or "artifacts" button to the left of the current sorting buttons

#6 cancel auction and cancel bid options

#7 selling un-occupied planets

#8 selling of GP and npc drop items

#9 a "refresh" button in all tabs auctions,my bids,my auctions

#10 auctioning of GP

and #11 when you alter your max bid (the 1st digit) hit delete and it kicks your cursor to the end.....needs to stay at the 1st digits place

edit: #12 "my Bids" needs to keep a little history so you can see what you won or didn't....the only way i knew was cause my money was back

a "buy it Now" option either in current auctions or maybe a seperate tab that is nothing but buy it now sales

yeah and those who dont like sniping stay on the forum

or the Facebook groups

a "buy it now" option could help regulate inflation

HELL FRIGGING NO#10 auctioning of GP

#10 would allow people that cant spend cash on the game much needed benefits while those whom do buy GP can auction them at a profit to spend on other auction items ...... possibly dan would sell more GP ????

dont you realize most rank 1500+ metno , negron , etc wil be able to get ALL the gp that will ever be sold , and those high ranks dont need anything besides gp

Personally I'm agesnt the idea of selling npc drops but the idea of selling GP has its merits even if the super high rankers would be hogs and steal as much of it as they can

GP = a NO GO
some gp items , sure
and these just must be excluded
quasi spacial expanders
terraformers
ship bots etc

ship bots i agree on but the quasis and terraformers lol honestly any complaint agesnt them would be something along the lines of "it would let the higher rankers get more production" here is the thing about that once you get to a high enough rank unless you really really messed up with your planets your income will be far more then your ever need makeing it so if someone boosts planets they hold its just for looks......

recycling banned ship cargo by auctioning off their stuff in mystery boxes.

1. This makes no sense at all, you are confusing the energy cost with tariff.
The option should be, energy cost OR minimal bid increment of 10%(or some other value)
This is for preventing stupid 1 CR fights etc

6. NO cancel bid. Thou I heard that bid you placed that are beaten by another will still take up a slot, haven't tested it myself. If that is the case, then under the stated condition you should be allowed to free up the slot. BUT, NO canceling winning bids. Cancel auction have been discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26494&start=20

7. What happens if the planet becomes occupied during the duration of the sale?

8. Some of them, sure. Others, no. Dan/Community can discuss on which ones.

Others I agree with failname.

The irony of this thread is that...
All those are already in another thread
And yet the title ask for "let's try to use one thread!"

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26494&start=20

everything except the P flux case have already been mentioned here.

Thou I do agree that the threads need a merging, perhaps some mod come over and produce a list of all suggestion and proposed variants....

The irony i do not care of.... the problem is there are 4 if not more topic on the same thing. try to put them all in one place!

About the 10 energy cost people will rage over it heck people rage over the idea of haveing to spend 5 energy in order to be civil on the BT

+1 to currently raging over the 10 energy cost for every transaction. I already don't comm unless really necessary because of the energy cost, there's just too many other things I want to use that energy for. Tried it a couple times but probably won't be using GTC again until the energy cost is removed, I'll just stick to legion and friend trades.

i kinda like it actually. it helps with my slow ranking. but i can see why its annoying for some of us.

if a bid is successful and we get the artefact/material, can it be moved to some different list, like a "due for arrival" or something. really weird that a incoming item counts as a bid, which prevents you from trying to get other things until it's received.

also in the future could we have a option to mark a limited number of auctions that could be added to a "interests" list, where we can view the state of a auction without bidding for it (essentially flagging it for future reference). This could also then give a alert to the ship log, something like "Auction : XTS-9, quantity 100, current bid 100k" when a certain amount of time is left.

I agree. 10 is just a little too much, I think....

EDIT: also, I have a suggestion. I think there should be some way for us to know the starting price of the items on auction, so then we know if the price is a bid or not ...

I mean, for example

for this:

Complex Tech Parts
Quantity: 10

the price is 9.8B. is that a starting amount or did someone bid that amount?

Everything got merged to my thread ^_^


Thanks Dan for the response, looking forward to the fix.
