Well yea they can be good sometimes but in this case i wouldnt see how using different shields would make it cost less energy while keeping it at 67%,as for the power core i dont see whats the big deal in spending a extra phew hundred credits if you have billions,i guess it would make it somewhat more professional,il go change it and see what i can get to make it cost less,shields i still cant understand how to make it better using different % amounts in this case,if you could explain to me how it would then i would go and do it
ok ive changed my 1.0 to 1.2(power core name,i overlooked the energy it generates on my 1.1)

BTW basill your right,it is 3 credits

I think that you should be giving a bonus if lets say the logger hade a total of 1000 credit logs(75,000,000,000 credits) should get a 10% bonus so you would get 7,500,000,000 bonus making a total of 82,500,000,000 credits,it could be a way of getting people to vote more so that then spaceo gets more members if more people vote,1000 votes would take 100 days of voting so we should get something for voting 1000 times,maybe this bonus could be go into that $50 bonus update or something

another idea is(as the title says) private servers,its a server in a server kind of thing,you have the SO server then alliance leaders and people that recruit people
can create a private server called w/e and if its someone who recruited then they can select the people they recruited to join the server,and alliance members can select the alliance members to join the private server with this there would be 2 buttons,the main server your in and the private server your in,another idea would be that when you buy a gold account you have the option of spending a extra $5 to create your own private server so you dont have to be a alliance leader or a recruiter,then you would choose a password for that server and be able to choose people you want to join that server,this isnt necessary but when your the owner of a gold private server you get to re-configure the servers settings so like i could say you get 10000 turns a minute or you can sell back your ships for 100% or something

this are just random ideas
