Got out of the game for a while to give Frontier time to actually finish stuff. Mainly the Wings. But can we still not give another player money? This is crazy. I want to pay someone to escort my ship. Or be paid to escort someone. I'm not doing it for free or the fun of it. the fun is in making a buck or two for it. And transferring cargo doesn't cut it. (how do you carry a large payment when your flying a fighter for support). Am I missing something? Or have they simply just forgotten a very key component of an online game. (being able to compensate your support players). I love this game. Or at least the idea of it right now. But like soooo many people who have just quit do to lack of content. I'm finding it hard to continue waiting for stuff that should already be in. I know the big update is coming. I just hope it really has all the things we need. Sorry got a little off topic. I was just a little disappointed after trying to play for the past few days again and found the game to be exactly like it was on launch except for wings and a few new ships. I just want to transfer some money from one player to another. Is that going to be possible? thanks.
Can we STILL not transfer money?

While it would be cool, this would be the open door to abuse. People already racked up insane bounties just to sell them for real money (because it is the only 'efficient' way of transferring money). If they can just trade and give it... Oh boy.
I personally would like to see a clever way to do this aside from just hey let me throw a couple mill your way.
a few random ideas:
sharing your personal profits with your wing by whatever amount you choose. Be it bounty vouchers, trade, exploration, mining, pirating you name it. If I want to help my friends make money currently I would be hurting them by helping them in anything but trading. And in trading that 5% is nothing even when you're running a type 9. I could just drop them a few tons of gold and they would make more money.. This would be a good way to send money in game as it would make both parties actually play the game.
be able to post your own missions, place bounties on players or x amount of npcs, deliver cargo with amount and type via drop down menus. Ect
there should be a mechanic that allows players to interact and conduct business with each other. But simply depositing millions into someone else's account is likely not going to happen nor do I think should.

If it should be in the Game is up for discussion, chances are its not missing in the Game because FD did forgett it or can't be bothered to work but because they really don't want that Feature in the Game.
No farming. No shortcuts. No handouts. No credit transfers. Ever.
Really it needs to be shared equally between trader and protection for it to be of any benefit..
2 in wing 50% each
4 in wing 25% each..
Why should the trader get more then their escorts?

I'm pretty sure FD couldn't handle the wave of compromised and stolen accounts that would instantly follow the implementation of ingame transactions, it requires tons of manpower and lots of money, a small company like FD would be eaten alive by chinese credit sellers.
Gee, I dunno. Maybe because they paid for the stuff?
The 5% doesn't come out of the traders pocket anyway, it's paid out by the game to the escorts.

That's sad...
some maths
A Lakon 9 with 500T will cost you 100,000,000 of which 7500000 is Imperial slaves
A Asp as a escort will cost 30,000,000
Profit 700,000
Lakon 9 profit margin for run 0.000002%
Asp profit Margin for run 0.01%
Lakon 9 potential loss 6M
Lakon 9 is carrying all the risk
Asp potential loss 0.5M

Unless of course the escort has to provide a "Bond" to cover the insurance rebuy of the tarder + all cargo costs

They simply sell CR for real money and hide themselves from banhammer. They do it in all the other games and they can do it here.
To fight them off Devs will introduce cash shop.
Demand breeds supply.
