2 Thoghts, first why not have a way to "observe" battles or OP's while the room is closed just to see what's going on like entering a room that has been closed after a battel has begain.
No. 2 say if your in a clan why not have a Credit or Exp. pool that is passive for example if you make say 5k exp. and/or credits why not let a small % of that go to the good of the clan like 0.5% of the 5k (or less) think of as "Tives" (don't know if I spelled that right) I think the benifits would be awsome for right now there is not a real benifit to be in a Clan i.e. no moddifiers of any type and most people have to pay to get in a clan anyway so why not do it in a way that promotes team/clan co. op's. another funny thing is that this might be a way for the *now unactive Ship's Accountant to be used, disstribution of credit's or points would be done by the Head Clans man or one of his 2nd's i.e. lieutenants.
Just a Thought, now let the flameing begin!
