just wondering as it followed my post

no harm, no foul

my offer stands as an emergency boss.


GCA's not as useful as hoped - no new players are using it to buy mods and get out of Ring 1 -, but still of occasional value to major players.  Worth stabilizing a bit more..

Let's see if the other GCA Founders are interested in amending the charter to allow alts of the leaders of the Top 4 corps to join as Sponsors?  You won't all quit or the game's dead anyway ;-)

Notion is Sponsors take on 1 active role: initiating and holding a 48-hour simple poll among themselves on whether to replace an absent or unresponsive Leader, and with whom, and whether to reinstate the former Leader should they once again become available to serve.

This assumes a Leader can be kicked.  GCA Sponsors have all priv except setting Ranks, and can Kick members.  Can a Leader be kicked like any other member, by anyone with kicking priv?  Can only the Leader set rank due to AG, or is that part of Corp setup? - Thanks!

Raphael, Odlid, Cliff, Pokeboy what do you think?

No problem with me.

Sorry guys - I'm on holiday and went hiking today.  I'm just now seeing this.

I tried to send the QP to Raphael and there is a bit of a snag.  I am a premium member but I still cannot send QP because I never finished the SEA courses.  I still at the 'go mine some poop' step 19.  I'm configuring a frigate with armor plating and a viper squad (prerequisites it seems) and will go mine 100^3 worth of stuff somewhere.  I have no idea how much more of SEA I have to go so I'll grind through it until I can send you the QP.

I liked being able to say "I'm a SEA dropout" but now I won't be able to do so! confused 2 14

When are you planning to graduate? lol

We can make the top 4 sponsors, but I don't think it will help the success of the GCA. The only people left playing AG are able to get the modules they want easily enough. I might get modules if I could, but they are too expensive, and while a loan from the GCA is a tempting offer, I'm smart enough to know I would never pay it off. There just aren't enough active players in the AG community to sustain an organization like the GCA.

Also, thanks Odlid.

I have to agree, Pokeboy.
This is the third 'super-corporation' attempted.
For a good lesson in folly, read the posts up there ^ called "Child Board" and see some of the difficulties of attempting to unify the galaxy.  wallbash

I finished last night - total PIA because I had thrown away the Viper and Iridium shields so I had to manufacture them, I forgot how exacting those things were which led to a couple backtracks to Earth,  etc.  But I now proudly display my Space Exploration Academy "GED" certificate on my wall!

"Galactic Council"?  Fascinating read - especially how roles have changed over a comparatively few years (Thanks)!

GCA is far more modest by intent, need served, and design - it (should) provide a safe (Earth based) place for trade among players of different corps.  No reason why even declared enemies couldn't trade (except mutual spite ;-)

am disheartened re GCA because lack of interest shows lack of new players with enough emotional engagement to stick around, and without new players everything equilibrates (coarse restatement of 2nd Law of Thermodynamics ;-)  Fortunately that takes a long time - lots still to learn and do.

I have read what happened to the GC. It was really the reason I started reading the forums, to read about this intriguing story. It also was what the GCA was originally based off of, but now it is so different...

I never wanted GCA to be a unifying force. I just wanted a way for people to trade, and I wanted to keep it as simple as possible (no tax, no drama).  1

The previous attempts of a galactic council didn't work because I wasn't inclined to support it (to put it mildly).

Future attempts also won't be supported by SSS.

in the pledge system, you can get a MKI of either of these two modules for 10QP:
   
Power Armor Marines Assault Unit
   
Cloning Facility   

or do you mean in the private sector?

The Empire equates QP into solari (50,000 each). So, a half-million credit.
Research how much is the cost for the raw material it takes to manufacture a module, add 10%, and place your order for that module.
PM me in the game.

Other traders may have different rates.


edit for standard reason number 1
