I'm leaning more towards other games for this reason also. I agree with Dr on this one. Money shouldn't be completely eradicated; that's half of HS's attraction. Some brainstorming ideas...read if you feel like it Spoiler! --Click here to view-- 1)increase bty gain speed by...5+? that way pros will actually do better (i've seen players--like me -- that have nice ships, but can't keep bty because they aren't "pros") 2)make a lot of things cost less. As i said already, money is half of hs. If you take it away completely, HS has a faster "bored speed" since you have almost nothing to work for. If things merely cost less, the money appeal isn't gone. 3)perhaps Brain was thinking of something else...? "That's not to say we can't make it easier on casual players..." I know these ideas have problems, but like i said, it's just brainstorming =D
