Hello there,
First, a bit o context:
I have a group of long-time friends and we play games together for more than 10 years! I started playing Elite long ago, but they didn't have money to buy it back then (The wonders of third world countries: unemployment, crappy economy).So you can probably imagine that the free week on the Epic Store was pretty useful for us.
While I was playing alone way back then (even before Epic Games free-week announcement), I focused on making credits. My ideia was to give them a support so we could play it together. My plan was to give them a basic ship so they could do Road to Riches and learn a bit about exploration.
And here is the problem.To give them the money was more painful than I think it should be. Here, in the terrible year of 2020, I can send them real money in SECONDS. In Elite, more than a THOUSAND years in the future, I have to drop them cargo to transfer money. It is not very immersive.
Yes,I can see the problem in money transfer between players. The Devs want people to play the game slowly, climbing up the stairs of wealth. But if I had a Fleet Carrier, I would be able to easily transfer them money by tweaking market prices. So why wealthy players can do it and give their friends BILLIONS and I can't give mine a few thousand credits?
If you have a Fleet Carrier to transfer money to your friends, you are probably very rich. If you are very rich, you are the one that can "break the game" by giving people a lot of money.
I don't have that much money. I don't have money to pay a Corvette for my friends (Not even for me ). I can't even pay them a Python. Despite that, I can't transfer credits to them easily.
On the other hand, players that have a lot of money can use their FCs to give their friends all the credits they need. It just doesn't make any sense.
Please, give us a way to transfer credits.
