<in a gloomy tired mood> I wish the server had deleted all accounts, and everything. And everybody would start anew. And one suddenly would have things to do, things to want, things to invest time on.
For the rest (and a more realistic appraoch), I am with Spazzy on this.
Veteran players have nothing to spend their credits on.
My only noteworthy expenditure is funding new players' ships... and not even that will dent my banks.
All the working money sinks were killed off.
We need what Spazzy said today in TS: new tier equipment that is 10 times as expensive and marginally better with every update... so you have to keep going, keep grinding... as in all games that are successful over a long time.
