Pretty cool. I like the avoidance of a pay-to-win XP item.

Jey makes the analogy that it's like buying a round for everyone at the bar.

Nice idea!

Now add Imp seals for SP so we can have real Pay to win!

1 Imp seal for every character in the game for 1000 Space Points?

Actually, why not just allow people to spend space points on permanent holiday holoprojectors?

You could also let them buy little "pets" that follow you around and show things in galaxy chat whenever something happens. Ships that take 0 trade slave slots, have 1 free hullspace (for a controlbot) and are immune to all forms of damage. :)

I love this idea!

How many activations can the game have at once? Ex: let's say 20 people use their SP would that give +100% exp for 30 min? Will there be a hard cap for the exp bonus possible?

Just remove their hitbox for the pet versions. Then only if they are directly targeted and shot would it matter.

No limit, except that only one may be triggered per account at any time.

It doesn't seem worth trying to find an uber for 5% exp over 30 minutes. Maybe if it were a day I'd consider it. If I really wanted to level that time would be better spent doing so.

IF it's just something cool to stumble upon I suppose it'd be okay, but something of a waste for such a nice idea.

Please reconsider how impactful you make this. Please.

The first rollout should have a big impact, so that players get used to seeking these types of things out. Then you can make subsequent impacts less stellar. By then, they will already have been trained to participate. Please reconsider.

Why won't players realise it's becoming less stellar :P
