Part of me wants to say that PT should be in charge of this because we came up with it, but the other part of me doesn't completely understand where the GCA has gone, so I will allow it to carry on its own path.

I will sponsor. As to who will be the manager of the trading corp, I don't care who it is as long as he/she gets the job done. Who's willing to create the bylaws? I will donate 100 QPs (equivalent to 100 million solars) for the draft. The draft should try to cover everything. The AG community will then modify the draft based on consensus. Personal opinion: there should be no fees for trading to maximize attractiveness - anyone can trade for free. The sponsors will pay the manager for the day-to-day operations. As the trading volume increases, the salary will also increase (that needs to be specified in the bylaws).

What happened is you "crowdsourced" an interesting question, around a common need, in an open forum You want control, "sell" a solution imho, you did the right thing - crowdsourced results are unpredictable, but (absent a genius) typically better than anything one individual would have conceived. cf https://www.whitesourcesoftware.com/whitesource-blog/crowdsourcing-open-source/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wisdom_of_Crowds'nuff theory - back to the Game! __ I will Sponsor with the first corporate ship license, an unoptimized Titan, and 100@ACB-100 = 772,500m3 storage (someone else can contribute a Freighter-X Optimization :-) (all 100-slots go to storage - this is strictly a transfer vessel, chained to Earth) Will start the ACB's as slots open up this week, and they will be reserved, but they will only be released once all Sponsors agree that Trade Corp is otherwise ready to serve the public good.

CliffClavin - to sponsor, in the normal sense of the term - you need to put up something of value. Raphael led with $100m, I followed with around $90m. You're staking.. (maybe $26m for Freighter-X Optimization on the first transfer ship ?-) Iow.. we're endowing a Not-for-Profit NGO fwiw, I'd been thinking more of a B-Corp, to be handed over to mid level players who'd benefit the most from taking it big in an ethical manner. However, am just as happy this way :-)

Update: 100@ACB-C (mk-100's) started. ETA March 29th.
Will we have bylaws, a funding structure, and management by then ?-) If so, we'll have a transfer vessel :-)

Isn't 100 QP equal to 5 million solars, not 100 million.
Also, I can't sponsor, because all of my money goes to PT Protector project. However, I will try to work on bylaws and hope to have a draft done by the 25th.

That'd be AP where 100 = $5m. 1AP = $50k, 20AP = 1QP, so 1QP = $1m

If you look at adv CAB and CAB time to build and cost, a CAB cost half the price but take twice longer to build. Are you patient or not. From my experience, if you want to be among the top in the game, you need to spend not a solar more than absolutely needed.

Hello Matamaure001 But patient is not on the broad,when playing on-line games .We need it yeasterday,or the day before,but ACB is the way to go if you could wait or be patients enough for them ,and it would be worth it...

ACB to "strike while the iron's hot" (ie. before forum attention moves on). Yes it's twice as expensive, but the absolute outlay at this level is still small.

The choice is yours, I said what I said to make you think. This is also true for shields.... Personally. I have chosen the opposite route and look where I am. (by the way, it is Raplael that make me discover this. Competition is beneficial lol) The only important thing is to have fun with this game and it is my wish for all of you.

Where do you turn 1 AP into 50K solars? I've always turned 20 AP to 1 QP and then turned that to 50K solars. If you can turn 1 AP into 50K solars, it would explain why my game progress seems to be so slow... BTW Working on writing some bylaws but I doubt I will think of everything. I probably won't have enough there to actually build this thing on.

Can turn: $50k -> 1AP 20AP -> 1QP 1QP -> $50k (OUCH!) 1QP -> 1AP (OUCH!) 1QP -> 25k-RP (OUCH!)
Can't turn 1AP -> $50k
__ Get enough down on the Bylaws for others to react to? Might not win the 100QP, but "the ball" will keep "moving forward" ?-)

So, for the bylaws, what we basically need is a restriction on what an agreeable currency is, how long someone can be in the corp., how long someone can have a ship, penalties for trading with pirates, and penalties for breaking laws, not staying in the corp. for the full amount of time, or not fully following a trade agreement. Anyway, here is what I have : All trade must be made in either CABs, ACBs, or SLBs of an agreeable level to both parties, and must be sent into the public corp. chat so that there are witnesses to the trade agreement. A trade may not be made in any form of a weapon. Once someone joins the corp., They may stay for 120 hours. No one may leave the corp., as if they leave before their time is up it shows they may not be following the trade agreement. The leader must kick people when their time is up. This is a minor offense and will only receive a warning, unless there is proof of only following the trade agreement halfway, which is cause for placement on the GCA KoS list. At any time during their stay, they may ask the leader for permission to use the GCA Transfer Ship, and, assuming it is not already taken, may keep it for 24 hours. If the ship is returned out of earth orbit or module(s) are damaged or stolen in any way, you will be put on the GCA KoS list, which will transfer over to all member corps. KoS lists. All people on the GCA KoS list are officially embargoed by the GCA and may not be allowed to join the corp. to trade for any reason, unless they are pardoned. The GCA KoS list is enforced by member corps., while the GCA gains funds from sponsors, and in this way, the GCA gains its power from its members.
