I more of figured Sess for a type of Sasquatch, even though there's little similarity between the two names, somehow in my head it gets garbled. Must have been drinking too much CRB Beer again

How am I a Sasquatch.  It must've been the beer.
And oh yea Yoshi I was prolly pissed off bout something when i wrote that first post bout you. So the post was sorta like anger and helpfullness blended togetther so there you go.
Oh and Seo if I want to drag you and the entire Commonwelth into something then, I just might not let common sense stop me  But seriously if all he's got is lvl 2's and I somehow magically(yes magic does exist, some call them bugs) mange to DOW him, I doubt anyone would care so much as to send their entire alliance into it. I'll prolly just have to say I'm sorry adn give him his stuff back  Or it just might be ignored by the higher ups

Since this game works on a somewhat exponential scale; "large" new money sinks won't harm smaller-scale empires, as the're designed to draw more cash from larger empires, while not hurting smaller ones. This is, of-course, only if it is designed to aid larger empires (and their larger responsibilities), without hindering the smaller players. Great ways of doing this are NSN's wonderful idea of Advanced TC's (you would of course only need them once you're large enough to be researching 2000 RP+ stuff, which is what most lvl 11+ empires are doing), so it would make sense to spend a billion or two (or more) nevcash to create or more importantly upgrade existing TC's to these ATC's. Another idea (again, one that only becomes meaninful for larger empires, so only they incurr the expense) is tower upgrades. Large empires have thousands of sensor and other towers. How about a cost-based upgrade feature for towers? Once you've researched 1000's of RP on sensor upgrades, why not allow players to spend a billion or two to auto-upgrade all of those towers? If you're a lvl 5, free-bee sensor towers are adequate. If your're a lvl 10+, upgrading those ass-kicking CF150 towers (that are now required to withstand the onslaught of a fellow big-boy lvl 10+ empire) would be a HUGE benefit, even with a large cost. Basic ECM starts at 2000. If you're going to research these things, spending a billion or 2 to upgrade ALL of your towers that are within your empire would be a significant benefit, and of course a significant money-sink that all of Neveron needs to prevent runaway inflation...

Just because the top 200 empires have 2 billion or more doesn't mean that there's too much cash on neveron. There are just 200 empires that need to have at least 2 billion on hand in case someone hits them. During the faction wars there's never an abundance of nevcash. The empires are just saving up for the next LW.
As for lvl 11+ empires not being able to spend all of their nevcash, they can always expand, or, if they don't want to expand, they can trasfer the nevcash to an ally that does want to expand.

I have over 6 billion. And that is not enough - I need to have~8 Bill in a warchest. I seriously doubt anyone on nev feels like they can't spend their money fast enough.
