				| I think, that the low cost ships should be sold in auctions which take place every period like i.e. half a year. This would create some further dramatic in multiplayer mode. Also it would make the sellers market interesting because multiplayer could buy the ship of the others offered SPAM ***. |

				I am half and half for this idea.  I would like and auction, but a closed one.  Players write down their bid one time only.  Top price gets the ship.  there would of course be a minimum. _________________ A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for. |

				I agree with malton and Bregalad..
 
this would be nice for a multiplayer game, but without A.I. in computer shipping, there would not be that good with auction..
 
and.. it should, like malton say be a closed one..
 
this could also be the a way of makin good freights on auction.. the bidder that makes the less price get the freight.. though, this should be closed.. _________________ -=angem=- |

				Maybe we should consider multi player availability on standalone PC's, or built in auctions against computer generated rivals for the auction house
