If you're doing your job, what difference does it make? I can't tell you how many matches I end with gobs of credits, and don't even notice it. I don't even think the credit system should be, the last thing we need is more gimmicky unbalanced, and potentially game breaking features to spend credit on. Unless you come up with something to taunt your enemies. Shoot off some fireworks or something, to tell the enemy "I'm blowing money on frivolous things, come get some!" Beyond that, I want less stuff to spend money on. Strikes are garbage. _________________ Physics \| CTF Scoring \| Team Selection

What would be pretty bad ass is have a random map event where a Cybrid descends from Orbit and engages in ship to ship battle with both the DS and BE Orbital support ships. Shuts down call strikes, but have random debris or an errant cannon blast strike the mid field. Or even blow the crap out of the ships in Drydock, reducing them to smoking rubble. _________________ "Even if it is just a gimmick, you can bet it'll be a crowd pleaser to see a player's feet kick up in the air and initiate a top down attack."
