I mean, its so annoying how u have to waste so much warp fuel running all that time. Saves us some time while building colonies or when we need spice to change into warp fuel. :D :lol: :wink: :o :) xd .

Would offset the balance of the game.

i think that's the point, it's not supposed to be easy. If i could transfer resources, i'd built all day long. Get a corp mate to sit on a desert or ocean that's loaded with 50k of each resource and just trade them all, any planet, anywhere could be built in the matter of minutes. Not saying I wouldn't like to be able to do that, but it would screw up the whole game.

Money and tokens are digits, that's why they can be beamed, resources and guns are material, and cannot be beamed through the universe...

I support this idea, for the obvious reason of that I could soooo easily win rebangs with it.

lol, you over estimate their intelligence! lol, but nah, there would still be the issue of finding the right ports/systems that you could use it to effectively win it.

Before everyone goes crazy over my vote of no... Allow me to point out why I voted that way.

Part of the game is dealing with treaties, and trapps. On one hand I'm sure you could find it easy to get someone to trade you spice for fuel this way.. However right now I'd assumne your primary reason for this is to avoid giving your location to somone on the chance they might attack...

By suggesting this you are suggesting nerfing the game again in a way which takes most of the risk out of trusting another player in a time of need.

Also if you din't notice your fuel was low when you had time to do something about it you have dug your own grave and should have to lie in it. Take a chance, hope nobody comes along.. People do it all the time, sometimes they are found and sometimes they are not.

If you take this away from the game you remove yet another element of risk which makes the game fun and exciting.

Words fail to describe how stupid this idea is.
