Dan said if they added this it would not be retroactive. Though it would be a nice add still.

One per level is waing just enough in your face it makes you want more.

guys dan has got to make money somhow 1 per rank is ridiculous i like the 1 every 25 ranks idea but seriously why not make everything free then its jst getting ridiculous. unlike most facebook games dan gives us almost everything for free n the first place instead of having to use them in orer to do anything in the game we all should stop complaining

galaxy tickets?

i like that idea! its like rewards in a catalogue. you can buy modules, or special buildings, or HOLIDAY ITEMS so people will actually enjoy them instead of having to cc for them, and special artifacts that buff ships either permanently or for an extended period and cant be missiled (like the stable overcharge, but for a percentage gain instead of a hard gain)

If it was every 25 levels you would get 4, every 100 levels... really..... thats costing can A WHOLE LOT. (Hint Hint:Saracasm)

+1 to one free GP ever 5 ranks, I think this will keep a lot of players happy and it will give more incentives to rank and stay with the game. I know some guys in my elgion are upset they can't abandon planets, with this they could if they ranked fast enough! I LOVE this!

I guess I don't understand why Dan would do this. You're asking for free GP. When people who spend money for GP are how this game makes a profit. It doesn't matter if it's a lot of free GP or a little free GP, it's still free GP.

Keeping players isn't a problem for the game - anyone who would leave the game for lack of a few GP probably would leave the game for other reasons. And unless this move caused more players to pull out their CCs and buy GP, I think it's a net loss for Dan.

This isn't a player or game suggestion, it's a (minor) business model change. And it has to be looked at from that point of view.

Well most people see it is unfair to non CC players, and i think one every <insert good amount of levels here> would be good. Considering it wouldnt be alot. say 1 every 25 levels 4 in 100, That isnt enough to do anything worthwhile. At all, no net loss at all. Just a little free GP because we play the game and promote it for free.

Personally I think this would make players want to buy more, I mean if they are only a few GP away, might make people impatient, or they might just really want something big, where it would take forever to get using this idea.

guys: Think about it.

1 gp per rank. 36 ranks for a terraformer or 50 ranks for a qse. Considering that most players are not over rank 500 is that really going to unbalance the game or give out much money?

on the flipside - people like psicore or frail will suddenly have over 1000 at their disposal.

Exactly why i want one every 10 or 5 ranks.

yes, but 1 every 5 isnt enough to do anything.

25 ranks just to abandon a planet - useless :roll:

another point to be made, I think once this happens it should only be from that time, so if you rank 500, you don't get 100 gp, you just get 1 at 505, just so you know, I'm rank 490 so I hope you don't think I'm bias, just I agree no one should get a ton of gp one day

people keep missing this evidently, or they don't understand what it means to "not be retroactive"

I agree. 1 per rank seems fair. That's how many you get with Zynga. :D



Yes there are some games that give you in game currency for a new level/rank. If Dan would implement this I would hope he makes it retroactive. I'd pick up FATHERS and a few other choice artifacts for my ship or planets. If he didn't want to make it fully retroactive he could cap it off at 200 GP or some other number.

BTW, there is a rare chance of getting 5 GP in the daily reward. That is just enough to abandon a planet.

Duh, we know you can get them in Daily reward, Ive gotten it twice, but thats very little, BUT its even littler than if you got one every 10 levels, every 100 levels would be 5 GP.That seems fair.
