Purchasing Turns / Turns Cap

With the cap put on to max turn storage (600), I would like to suggest the time limit to purchase turns be reduced from 12 hours to 6 hours.

This could be a good thing for more credits bought/used. Could create more demand for credits in credit market.

**Or 8 hours. 3 purchases per day instead of 4 with 6 hours**

I'm not sure this is a good idea. Turns are valuable. Making sure people are low on turns can be an important strategy sometimes. The ability to refill (buy) turns need to be limited. I think every 12 hours is already very frequent. Yes, it would make more credits be used, but I still think turns need to remain valuable and scarce. Double turns plus 200 extra turns every 12 hours already gives a LOT of options, in my opinion. For certain styles of play, turns is the only limiting factor.

what could be possible is to offer a temporary extension of 50 turn-slots (not the turns) which can be stacked 4 times. extensions cost 20 credits for the first (2nd 25, 3rd 30 & 4th 35) and last 12 hours with a 12 hour cool-down afterwards. when the extension expires all turns stored in these slots are lost.

this way it is possible to have temporary 800 turns but only at great cost and for a limited period of time. those profit from this one must plan ahead to be maxed out normally and then execute a plan that justify the extra 135 credits which the 601 to 800 turns cost

Nope, 600 turns is enough.

Admin says so.

For once I agree with Avery. This is probably one of the few things that actually help curb fast progress and severe attacks

Yes. We are all for not being attacked and loosing capital ships to some pesky pirate that has spent a lot of resources can grab them in a few minutes!

If you want turns, buy Death poker in a bunch! Cast 200 on yourself to only get 20 to be successful! Value for your money.

if you need more turns ask people or even pay them a little bit to cast self sacrifice on you or keep tons of death poker around.

Or better yet: Cooperate with someone. Several people working together will usually manage to get enough turns for some decent action.
