So, just a curiosity. Is it possible to trade or gift things to other players? I pulled a lot of machines in duplicates that I won't use. I mean, who needs four rogatkas? (I got other stuff, but the four rogatkas stand out. I'm good with one.)
If possible, that would be really neat. It'd be a shame to let them collect dust in the hangar or sell them for silver.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! Nope, but you should make a direct suggestion to Pixonic! This game definitely needs a gift/trade system, at least within clans. |

Allowing gifts to clan members or not, is not going to happen. If allowed, black market trading will happen and Pixonic will lose in revenues.

Allowing gifts to clan members or not, is not going to happen. If allowed, black market trading will happen and Pixonic will lose in revenues. Perhaps. But the idea of trading would also improve community cohesion, and make folks more likely to spend money. It feels easier letting the cash go if there's the idea that one can trade or give away items one doesn't want or no longer needs. Other games do allow the practice and report no revenue problems from it. The only example I have off hand is The Pirate: Caribbean Hunt, which allows players to gift each other anything they have, even premium ships. This is achieved by making the "Gift Giver" purchase, a one time two dollar transaction that allows unlimited giving so long as you have a player's ID number. For example, I now have five Rogatkas. The RNG was cruel to me with the Gold and Epic chest, repeatedly giving me copies of a good and expensive machine I will never use more than one of. I'd be fine trading it off to a player for 1000 Gold. Or its equivalent sell price in Silver. Or a less expensive Gold item that isn't Gekko or Aphid. Or any Workshop Bot. You get the idea. Note that I'm ok selling it for silver to a player who wants it, not the game itself. |

I hear you. We are on the same boat. I hope your suggestion get up to the developers too. Maybe some sort of swap exchange or something.

I like the idea. I am sure there are lot of players that has some good bots/weapons that are just collecting dusts. It would definitely helpful for clan members.

The flipside to this system would likely be a lot of spam requests in forums and / or in-game (depending on what kind of system was set up) from strangers looking for free stuff. Can you imagine getting 3, 5, 10 requests pop up while you're logged on asking something to the effect of "Pilot X would like to initiate trade"?
If it could be implemented without that risk, I'd be down for it. I do doubt Pix will go in for it, given revenue reasons cited above.

I used to be an admin for a Mafia Wars trade site. It was a pain in the arse making sure people didn't get ripped off.

I think to make it easier with out all the fuss, gold items aquired should be able to be sold back to the system for 30-40% of the purchase price of Au + 30-40% of any Ag upgrade cost if not default level.
I think just about every player thats ever bought a item for Au, has had times where they didnt like the item.

Since this thread has been resurrected, I'll tell you exactly why Pix won't allow trading - and that's because they'd have individual pilots creating new accounts on every device they can get their hands on.
I've seen this in many games where even the slightest level of allowed trading or selling between players results in players creating bogus accounts that are only used to mine freebies to amass resources or to get desirable item.
If trading were allowed in this game, some savvy pilots would create 3-4 additional accounts on my 4 spare Apple devices and just mine the Au Tasks and the "free spin" events, then trade between the accounts ----- and in 6 months I'd have every item you buy for WSP/Au and all the silver I could ever need.
Pix would never see 1 penny from these multiple mining account players.

Also people leaving the game would just donate their entire inventory to clan mates. |

I love if they implement trading/gifting. Start many accounts (on android), invite them to your clan, grind each to lvl 20 or more, buy what you need (orkans, aphids, gekko, zeus, ancile) and gift them to your main account. Nice :3
But this is also the very reason pix wont let us trade.
