TOONCES Tokens for /Corpall TOONCES

Major.Arse · Post by **Major.Arse** » Sun Oct 19, 2008 1:46 am

I know I know...i have been around long enough to know this is maybe one of the most requested ideas.

BUT

could...we...please...implement...a ..."corp-all-button"?

charge the players 5000 tokens.

charge 10,000 tokens. i don't think anyone cares how much it is.

but please please please. could you (DEVS) invest some time into this.
It couldn't hurt the players...meaning they wont I love you man! about it...in fact i think most would praise you for it, and it would most certainly mean more money for PTT to invest back into the game.

thanks for reading this.

-Major.

I like this idea... but I think it should determine on how big your empire is the bigger it is the more it'll cost ... like if you have 400 cols i'd say it'll cost like 14k tokens or something like that ..

how about making it 2000 tokens / colony. the more colonies you are trying to corp, the more tokens it would require to corp them. There could be a slider and numerical box (like when buying things) so that you could type in the # amount, or just hit "ALL" and then it would automattically calculate how much you have to spend in order to do your desired function.

seminubes would be able to afford the 2k / col, and for the larger corps, 2k / col would be nothing but pocket change if they have like 8 members to the corp.

i don't think it should cost more than to do it by going to each col, the idea i had was under 100 cols then it would be 5k, under 200 cols, 10k... and so on. or you could recieve a message saying, to transmit the corp all to every colony it costs you (*how many fuel it would've cost you to go to every system and do it your self*)

and if you don't have enough fuel then you are penalise for it. so plp would still need to buy tokens for fuel or other stuff, and the community would have what they ask for.

A big problem with this is calculating the total fuel usage. It could be done through waypoints, what the system thinks is the "fastest" route, could all be based off of the player's location... there are many factors in it.

why not just charge, say 100 tokens per planet? that would be easy enough to code in.

and not too expensive but it is still expensive to me......

this is kinda of a hard one :/

100 tokens a planet or 2 million in cash. We do need more money sinks, right? Right?

BlackNova · Post by **BlackNova** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 10:01 am

Thats too much, it would cost 50k tokens for 500 planets, thats evil, maybe 25 tokens per planet - still a lot, but it would be used much more.

Maybe there should be a safety net regarding the resign corp option. Isnt that correct major

milo · Post by **milo** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 7:24 pm

why not a min of 10k but then an additional 1k for every 50cols over 200.

so if you had 1000 cols it would cost 26k

Armor · Post by **Armor** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 7:59 pm

10k is still a lot... that's the equivalent of 5,000 fuel. Who uses 5,000 fuel to corp 200 colonies? Well... maybe you do, suppose I've never had that many personally... just seems like a big number. lol

it should be higher than what you actually use, because that way your paying a price for corpin them all at once then to individually do each.

and 1 major downside that i see to all of this... you have a corp or 20 ? (some servers have that many) you have 5 planets, and the other 19 people have 5 each also. {for those that dont want to do the math, that is 100 col in your corp} .... if you hit the /corpall ... it would only corp YOUR 5 PLANETS.... not the other 95 that other people would own.

for the sake of arguement in an example, im gonna use 2k tokens....

@ 2k tokens / col, that is 10k tokens. ....... then you have to figure in the other 2k x 95 = 184,000 tokens from just 1 corp to CORP ALL. now take that by 20 other corps with the same numbers and now you get 3,680,000 TOKENS...... HELLO TOONCES!!!!!!!!!!! WANNA MAKE SOME MONEY???

.... now... you can start asking your parents, or pulling out your own credit cards to pay the $10 / 1k to get your tokens. it will only be $100 for your 10k tokens. {more math for ya... $100 x 20 ppl / corp = $2,000. .... 2,000 x 20 corps = $40,000

} ....

maybe then TOONCES can start implementing some of those Asteroids, new ships, better faster bigger servers for less LAG!, and most of those other [IDEA]s that everyone else can come up with!

well i like the idea. just not too expensive for us poor guys.

And propwash..forget about implementing new stuff at that much profit he should just retire

math is off there i dont even knwo what ur talkin bout, also 10$= 10k,

sorry, i dont buy tokens on here as my credit card is $150 over my limit.. lol so....

with the new math..

$10 / 10k tokens x 20 ppl /corp = $200. 200 x 20 corps = $4,000. now, i know that not every server has 20/corp but if you got 5 servers to do that, that is at least $20,000! .... that is still a pretty good chunk of change.

but still, if everyone bought $100 worth of tokens.... 1mil tokens sold.. TOONCES would make out with $200,000 from 5 servers

not to mention the sales coming in from the 5member/corp servers ......... Hey Toonces, you need some help!??! I'll beta test!!

{$100 x 20ppl = $2,000 x 20corp = $40,000 x 5 servers = $200,000}
include the sales from smaller servers ... that could easily reach the $300,000 mark. and this is in just 1 day. i SERIOUSLY doubt that people would do this more than once a month if that... but if everyone did that 2 times a month... yeah. Can you say "Toonces has a new house in MAUI AND HAWAII !?"

a few things aswell, how bout the game calculates how much fuel it would take for all the cols to be corped, add 500 fuel(1k tokens) and that seems fair. 2k tokens per col seems a bit nutty or w/e ur trying to do. this options only really necessary if your lugging around plenty of cols. if you have 5 cols your 1, a newb, 2, a lazy donkey newb, 3, pitiful poor soul

This makes absolutely no sense. What do the "other 95 cols" have to do with anything? You clearly do not know the function of a Corpall button - it is not to corp every colony that your corpies have, but every colony you, and only you, have.

yea i know i have no idea what hes trying to do

50per col is only way he makes money but we r happy, 20cols =1ktokes, thus u got 200, it takes $10, he makes 10 bucks, u like the feture and buy more tokens, say he maeks a 10% increase in income(i am coming up with random numbers here:P) because people like it and buying mroe tokens to corp their 200 col empire, or in the case of a few people, 500-1000. This said, $50 bcuks to corp 1000 cols. that is great and great income for toonces. WIN-WIN

I'm liking this the best.

the point of this is to save time not necessarily fuel since you could change the tokens to fuel and do it all manually. in my case it would probably take 8-10 straight hours of cleaning.

ArdRhys4 · Post by **ArdRhys4** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 12:36 pm

yes, it is true, the price must make both us AND toonces happy. So 50 bucks per col is the only way to go. and u can choose how many cols are corped. They should be corped from the closest to you to the furthest. so if you choose 50 of 80 cols the 50 closest get corped.

I'd like to add its the most requested thing ever in the game. 1.4mil followers to corp sucks especially when you've been in a kick-axe corp who's just broke up due to inactivity and has left your BBQ scattered across the galaxy

corpen colonys no way in hell should cost even 3k tokens in full un less ur in one of them severs where u go planets in like a 50 hop arm them colonys on the other side of map in a nuther 50 hop arm lol it should cost tokens thow i mean you want ppl to play the game make it easyer for ppl to play
