Right now, conquering a planet is a challenge, one that only very dedicated player will achieve.
And right now, there is a lot of player that gain IP, $ and never do anything with it because they never actually own a planet. So here is an idea : clan could sell technology they own to mercenaries and clan-less or even player from other clans. Probably an accord with an "you use you pay" model, or something.
That way you could use experience to upgrade your commander, and $ to buy one shot fac or units. And why not a temporary association for sharing factories or something.

If people are lazy to spend their stuff they will be lazy figuring out that sharing as well

It's not lazyness : you have to have a planet to spen your $. And to have a planet you have to be pretty dedicated.
A real trading system, not only centered on IP, and a possibility of economical agreement would allow any player who feel like it to spend his $.
Curently have 25000$ sitting around because I don't have a planet, dispite the fact that I have been trying for several days.

They can also sell ip or buy new ip to get a planet..
They are not doing it.. why do you think they would do soemthing else?

Getting a planet requires too much nolife farming.

Because no one sell enough ip to actually buy a planet. I tell you i've been trying for days and I have a stong clanmate.
An open market would be much more interesting.
Right now, there is no invectives to get involved in PW beside conquering the galaxy.

Here's an idea : XP would only serve for com.
PW factories allow to use the unit or fac they build in a limited number of battle. You can sell those allowance in a marketplace. That's for a starter.

You could also build your fac on somone else's planet in exancge for a share of the production.

That way you don't have to gain a planet, which is hard to spend your $ which in urn give you an invecive o sell your IP and get involved in PW

I do agree pw buildings should interact more with the game. Atm they only give tech bonus and are good in dying when under attack. The unlocks they give are pretty much useless.

If they give a actualy boost to the faction that have them it would be nice like a small discount on that unit.

They give IP, which is huge. Ingame boosts will ruin the game like PW1.

The problem is that one or two people own most of the planets in a clan (or even in a faction). Some kind of better way to distribute and organise your IP (you always end up with some you dont need) might be good. But the truth is, BunnyIVL owns one of my planets, and he hasnt developed it or even logged on in ages. So im not actually convinced that we should have systems for people to get planets more easily, it would actually be bad for the game if a lot of casual players own planets. >_>

So its a pretty fundamental problem.

At least 3 my planets were gained by purchase. You often have to contact owners and negotiate price directly.

So basically:
- if people are interested enough, they can get planets even with small, 1 man clans (see yog)
- if people want to trade, they can but you often need to contact holder of influence and negotiate swap or good price

I think that some sort of sell auctions would help ..

Last season i had to play like 100 games before i even got my first planet. If you want to take a planet you have to attack it alot of times in a row and hope someone else doesnt snatch it from you.

I did that chicken planet 4 times in a row before i conquered it and used like 12 ships for it last season. Thats several hours of gameplay and i was lucky because i was there alone so nabs didnt ruined it. You want to get more players then normal players who dont camp pw all day should be able to get a planet in a reasonable time.

Just look to last season V won mostly because we where way more active than the other clans.

I have lot of money. I don't care because I don't really play PW. This is bad because I should be able to buy something anyway.

You dont have to play 100 games, there is homeworld feature, you only need 500 influence - anywhere.

We need to use the planet threads more often.

Use them to PM others.
