Clanfund improvement

[Richy Boy]

As I played several games before Pirate Galaxy, I'm missing something that can really improve the game, makes it even more fun.

this is the usage of the clanfund, as I play this game now since november 2010, I wonder why this hasn't come up yet.

I will not say names here from other games as that is maybe forbidden, but in several games the clanfund is more from the users, by the users and for the users in a clan.

for example:

there was a game where we as clan leaders, we could implement a max of 5% tax of the stock/cargo (in PG I mean with that then the Cryonite) to be deducted from our clanmembers, as we always had good relationship with our clanmembers we talked and discussed with all of them and decided to put at first tax percentage up of 2% (witch was being upgrade after a while to 3% , but that was our max) in a clan with subdepartments and having like 250 members in total that was a good way to participate in helping:
1. the clan, to buy bigger and elite material.
2. when players where in need fast, to get themselfs bigger material we then could help them buying it faster (and asked then for example that they then after they got that specific part, to donate when they where possible half of the costs back).

this made our clan bigger and stronger to like 660.

ofcoz there will be players who didn't want to automaticly deduct that percentage, so after a total administration run, we then always gave those players each week there payed taxes back.

==============================================

but for PG my suggestion is:

players now allready can donate cryonite (and logfiles) in to the clanfund, clans themselfs and the players can decide to do so ofcoz, but why not make it also possible to donate also back from the clanfund to the players. the clanfund it self is basicly only for buying CQ ships and parts for it, but several clans have now for example allready gotten all the CQ ships and the parts for it, as also some clans do not want to buy CQ ships, etc... so basicly can not use the cryonite (anymore).

I really do positivly think, it will make PG more attractive if this is a posibility to do, so that the clan not only get's help from his players, but also the clan can do something back to the players.

I do understand that the whole grinding/harvesting of Cryonite is also just the game here, but not all players are having the capability to do so, as they don't have the money to buy cry boosters , cry protectors, etc .... but also wanna go forward, so this would be a good way to make the game even more atractive

Feedback is wrong place for suggestions and ideas what I see this is.
I will move this topic to Suggestions board, and please next time see that you post in the Proper board.
Thank you

I recognize this system from a game I played in my past. Interesting idea.

Sytem that us used in some bigger games i played but i don't think it fits in the whole PG concept

I think this a great idea, would make the whole clanfund thing more intersting and enable more teamwork within the clans. Together help the ones less fortunate..

Great idea +

I know the game you are referring to. But i think this would take away from probably the biggest attraction atleast for me and other players that have played the unnamed game, and thats that you HAVE to work to get your ships. You cant drop down some big lump of cash and just buy your way to the top. Yes you can buy boosters to make it faster and easier but you still have to work at it. Even though in this case you wouldn't be buying gold it would allow bigger clans to just POWER build people to higher levels. As for a clan tax i like the way it is, it gives the players the choice to donate or not.

Hmmm how about a feature where player itself can chooce how many % of his/her cry earnings goes to clan fund?
Like automatic system, dont even need to think about it.

Like chooce that 3% of your cry earnings goes to clan. You collect 100 crystal, 3 goes to clan. No big deal?
(another example, you collect 30k cry in day, you have set your % to 3% and it gives 900 cry to clan)

it's not that i say you have to getting a tax here, but in those other games they used taxes.

no what i mean is that all donation to the clanfund is still the way it is now, but with 1 small difference, that the clan leaders also could donate back to players.

an d no i don't like or want players to buy them selfs on to the top, but it is the cry from the players, so why not also give the possibility to give the cry also back when in need.

like a regular banking system in a sort a way.

i always say that as a clan it's 1 for all and all for 1, as we all pay in clanfund it should also be possible to give back

how about making the clanfund a sub-fund for the alliance-fund, the alliance does everything, buys CQ ships, handles Conquests, handles trades and make economic stuff so that money can be doubled if it is used in some kind of factory such as Gemini Components or Antares Industries, everytime they sell a ship you get some of the money from it for your alliancefund etc. making some kind of money of it.
