Realistic Auction

Let's say you have an LF-3 and for whatever reason you don't want it. What if you could put it on the auction thing and auction it like real life? You know, set a starting price and after however many hours later (you set the timer), the highest bidder gets the item and you get the creds? Just an idea.

 

Yes it's a good idea if you have too many lf3(if you change ship) or too many something else
It would be perfect, there would be many lf3 and others things sold /hour then free players would be stronger faster.

 

You are a genius I love it. It makes the gifting idea thats been going around a reality but not the way everyone wants it to work.

 

*UPDATE* multiple people could sell the same item a once, encourages competition.

 

How can I make a dev see this idea?

 

Not a bad idea, think this would come in handy for UFE players, who have too many LF3 that they dont need.

 

I feel like this would inflate the prices and eventually lead to credit rich players controlling the market.However i do like it.So long as the newer designs would be left out of it and just equipment up for bid, i suppose it would work.

 

No elite designs or anything obtained by luck.

 

I say yes to this, but ONLY with items that currently exist in the DAILY auction. None others.
Also, prices may inflate, like it does in real life :/

 

I really hope this one goes through i have around 50 spare LF3's.

 

I'd love to get my hands on some.

 

This is a lovely idea, I played another game (Dead Frontier) where they have a bidding system like this. *on that game the rarest equipment is obviously set extremly high - where more common equipment is set extremely low. Also the game has a private auction where you can just about gift items to friends for free*

Prices would follow by example, lets say people throw lf3s up for 25mil, someone that wants to make the creds will lower the price on a lf3 they put out so they make creds, but at the same time people want to make creds. If they set the price for a single lf3 at lets say a billion so they make creds extremely fast ...no one would buy that. On the other hand if they auction off a lf3 for 1mil so they make some creds ... yeah that would be bought quickly but they wont make much but its also more so a for sure sale.

I also feel this wouldnt be much use or we would have to swap this in place of the auction we currently have. But lets say they do apply this without removing the current. The two auctions (current and this one being suggested) would conflict with one another and influence the prices of each other.

I like the idea but I can't really see this being intigrated into the game without kind of a big change (also it would really change the new players way of getting fe not so much changing how ufes get strong/stay strong.

You could imagine the current auction as being a "realistic auction" by pretending the current stuff was donated then those auctioning it set the price at 10k and from there we the players compete against one another to bid higher and higher to obtain what we want

 

it's a good idea, but i suggest anonymity... because, else you might end up with stong players who only sell there stuff to friends of theirs

 

Murder first remind me to find ya on Dead frontier bro . and 2 this is a good plan, but dead frontier is based on real life, Dark Orbit on the other hand is futuristic and not meant to compare with real life, in real life, yes you could private auction something to a friend, but the problem would be that as people on dead frontier have experienced the upper players give things to their friends, and this would throw clans in chaos, since bigger clans (like EICs NW and VRUs LCT) would have UFEs gifting things to their friends. to play the game you'd have to have connections to upper players to survive the others. Everyone would be FEs and noob libs and even the upper noobs like bigboys wouldn't survive an FE goli shooting white, or even x3 for that matter.

I'm all for the auction idea, but no I don't think It would be good for the future of Dark Orbit to have "private auctions" for friends.

 

You won't have a choice of who you sell to. Once it's out there and the time's up, the item automatically goes to the highest bidder.
