1. give us credit cards in game (Why are they called 'credits' if you cant borrow them).

2. shiftier corporations & factions s will give higher credit limits to n00bs but at higher interest rates, and/or shifting interest rates.

3. corvus will basically be loan sharks; if you dont pay then they come and hunt you down.

Corvus loan sharks sounds AWESOME!!! How else will we afford to buy player stations? ;)

why do people even reply to these threads?

because they like the ideas, or because they want to add something on to the idea, or to answer dumb questions, or to be idiots.

Because I am that desperate to procrastinate grading college-level journal entries including words like "haved" (used as the past tense of have, not a mispelling of halved... I think...) but still know better than to start up the VO client.

1. I borrow from Corvus, refuse to pay back, and Corvus hunts me; Corvus NPCs find it nearly next to impossible to catch and kill me, just like players.

2. If I happen to die simply buy another ship from the money I still have from Corvus.

Conclusion:

My life just got a wee bit more interesting, and I got more credits to boot. I can foresee players never having to trade or mine again for their cash, and living in a state of near-constant bliss, fighting bots that they don't have to look for (they come to them) inbetween fighting players.

I like it!
