Just wanted to say that the Elite bank system is pretty cool, if only the devs could do something like that!!!
Only question I got is why so little as a maximum allocation of space. Is there a maximum amount of money a char can have?

Solra Bizna did it.

You all know I don't post dive.
Does anyone know abut the char money issue, is it simply that you can hold only so much or is there a different reason.

Er...(gestures emphatically to the entire game)
They CAN, it's simply that there are other priorities.

john: 32bit integers have limits, ya know.
The max is 4 billion credits?
I've heard of players with more then 4mill
Rogue, no I don't know
FM, if it took a player 6hrs to make a bank, I'm sure it should be nothing to the devs. I was being a smartass, and you know it =P

The max isn't 4million, it's a little over 4 billion last time we had the negative money bug.
Well, Chao, before he disappeared (with not much left to do) had close to 40 mil.
Martin has about 20-25 mil I believe
:) the richies are out there

but is this bank safe? are deposits insured over 100,000 credits?
I have a feeling that there are a few simple ways to shut down this bank in-game if a group a players worked together.
the dev version would have to have more controls

Dev version they could get around that by actually having a different account for each player, and limiting how much can be stored, much like a real bank. I do actually like the fact that i can send money to someone who is miles away/offline, even if they have to fly to odia to collect it.
sarahanne you just need a couple of people not liking the bankowner to make the trustworthyness of the userdriven bank go to shambles. And with this the well intention of the creator.
But I agree, a devbank is more fun and be more beneficial, although in my opinion that should be a pretty darn low priority.
Since I sure can go without this feature. If people want money, they just have to meet up wit me, or I have to meet up with them. Takes a bit longer, but I rather have them working on more important stuff then a bank.
cheers

Of course you would have to actually play the game to have people meet up with you. :p

500k is a reasonable limit for most people, if you want more you can apply to have the limit raised / be given a bigaccount. It's there so that the majority of people can't easily break the bank by withdrawing a huge amount of money at once (more than we have in reserve, not that this is becoming a problem as less than 20% of the money in the bank is user accounts).

true borb2 :D
still was just profiling myself as if I was playing, and then saying my opinion. But for consistency you can just replace me and you by him and the other person.

Woah woah waoh... you're withdrawing money from the bank??!?
If you're going to make a bank, you either leave it as a completely secure vault that only the players themselves can get into, or you advertise that the bank is going to use your money to do something, and you pay interest.
Of course, with the bank being in Corvus, we could all just assume it's a scam....

That's what I thought it was but I wanted to be sure.

Now I know we've all had this discussion a million times, but I'm going to say this anyway.
Sometimes it seems that the developement of the game is always heading towards the largest, most time consuming parts instead of banging out some of the really easy stuff just to give the game a little more content. I too want cap ships, I too want everything to be balance, but these are long term goals. Where are some of the short terms. I know when I first started playing I made a lot of noise about mining and then we had a few beams and now we have a few more and the game has opened up a lot from just being a fps space ship game. In any case, what I'm trying to say is that a few of the littler suggestions that are simple, could quite easily be done and added in a weeks time while at the same time working on some of the other stuff. When I'm at work I'm constantly multitasking, and I'm not saying that they (the devs) are not, but, with little info coming from them it's hard to know, so it leaves us guessing and leads to me posting things like this.
Banks would be relatively easy as everyone has agreed, and it would be a nice feature to see in game, probably not as cool a year from now thought when everyone else would see it added. Even if it were as simple as Solra Bizna's, as long as something was in game as a framework for improvement and updating. Hell, half the game is stil placeholdes as has been admitted several times before in other posts, so why not add some of the other stuff that was deemed too simple to waist time on. I really would like to see this game be great but with the constant streamlining for pvp IMO is leaving the game extremely bare and at higher levels completely boring, and adding another ctc style pvp situation is not really going to fix that.
Personally, I would get the Cap Ship finished, and get started on the exploration package, get crafting installed, and then go back to rebalancing the ships. The ships, weapons, batteries, and weights while they may not be perfect, FLY… so lets live with them for a bit and get some more stuff added. There might even be more people to check the game out if there was more content then what is here now. Remember what the review said??

Actually Starfisher, the bank was located in Dau L10, but being KOS there, i would have had, uhum, to deposit/withdraw while swarmed with defbots =D So we asked Solra if the bot could be moved to a more neutral location, odia being the obvious choice, do we assume because IRC is located at Odia M14 its also a big scam ?? =D
Its a good replacement for a feature that can, and possibly will be in the wiki, who knows =D
