Suggestion: Stock Exchange

[mcdowect]

Greetings,

I am a trader, however as it is, in-game is a little bland, now my usual solution to this would be player markets, but that requires all sorts of other changes as well.

So my suggestion, how about an in-game "stock exchange" I mean we have all these corporations, you would think that at some point between current day and the year 3300 some of these space corporations would have gone public, i propose a stock exchange where players can purchase stock in different companies/factions. then the stock prices fluctuate based on corporate profits, which are affected by npc traffic and player interference. stocks could also possibly pay a dividend based on the companies profits. all of this would need to be handled in an easy to use in-game interface, no spreadsheets please. lol

Yes, I think that people should be able to sell on the market, but I don't think much needs to be done. Just put in on sale in first come first serve order and transfer the credits to you on sale, minus sales tax. That way there is no need to worry about Eve Style scamming.

Couldn't agree more. A stock exchange & maybe a bank like on WoW would be excellent & bring a new dimention to the game. Problem would probably come with hackers who can't be to build there way up looking for easy credits. But all in all I think it's a matter of time before a stock market is implemented.

I'd love to see a stock market. Talk about high risk/reward .
