Market and Transfer Caps

What would be the effect of increasing the exsisting empire caps? We all know that warring effectively is impossible without funds, so why not eliminate the market sales cap, and increase the general and FL transfer caps by say 50%? More money is made available, more wars get started, and empires can recover faster to war again.
Any thoughts?

The market sales cap was the reason caps were introduced to begin with. Let me give you a history lesson:
Planck had a lvl2
Planck used the lvl2 to do a war and it took a big zone
Planck's lvl2 was then out of money
Planck sold everything the lvl2 owned at maximum possible price to 1st NC, getting several hundred million into the empire.
Planck used the lvl2 to do another war.
There was a lot of bitching, accusations of login abuse, etc. No one liked the fact planck had a rich lvl2 so transfer caps were introduced, and the sending of cash from non-fl empires was re-allowed.
I don't like the fact I can't send my lvl6 1 billion, but I understand why I shouldn't be able to.

Bah..I'd love to see FL caps go..I could get all my DP payments in one go, rather than spread over like 40 days. But that's me...I think that'd help FLs though...coz they could give each emp in their faction a certain amount of cash, so they couldn't be accused of playing favourites or whatever.

A merchan class could have a increased market income like the warrior having the 2x faction leader transpher.

Once dp is sold for ingame money, ingame rules apply to it.. The example above clearly is an example why.

Mattbuck is essentially correct, but Planck was not the reason the caps were instated. Basically any small empire who had friends that were bigger empires could get massive amounts of funds and defeat any other small empire. That doesn't seem very fair to me.

Yep, do it myself a bit sometimes to, buy stuff that just doesn't move from a smaller emp to be more liquid once more. Without caps, it's easy to get a LW or 3 going every day.

i think that the market and transfer cap should be increased slightly for level 1-4

Lvl 5 as well. Been forced to build comms, since my factory output (combined with light reselling) was too high for the market cap. Especially when something stays put for a while, to be bought up when you're already capped again.

"Without caps, it's easy to get a LW or 3 going every day."
