Yessiree I remember the good ol days, when we had to fly all the way to Dau to deposit... (not to mention the "good ol days" when mining=prospecting mission and there were only four licenses! Imagine...)

Personally I think just let the devs make the game how they're planning it, the fact that it's like it is now proves they aren't stupid, so let them have their secrets if they want.

I liked when BountyBot was the bank :/ All my bounty and banking needs in one convienient central location...

We aren't using non-reserve money to do anything as a matter of policy. It's technically possible for us to do so, but we aren't going to. (Did I mention we aren't going to?) If/when we need money past our reserve, we will use the (soon-to-be-implemented) bond system and allow people to get more than their money back.

Fascinating, both the bank and the discussion surrounding it. I think that, in contrast to suggestions that the devs should do this, or anything, the bank development shows the value of a game that allows players and communities to develop additions and enhancements. It's really great that such a thing is possible, and very clever of Solra Bizna to have created such an in-game feature.

I haven't seen or used it [yet], though. I'm judging from what I've read. Apologies to whomever else should be credited if I"m mistaken about Solra being the only person who developed it.

Thanks, Solra. BTW, Solra mentored me a few months ago and I appreciate that, too. Solra is good people.
