Opinions please: Galaxy Tax

What do you guys think about introducing a mandatory galaxy tax feature? Obviously it would be useless as the game is at the moment as there isn't really anything to spend the money gathered from such a tax on. Personally I think it's a good idea maybe with a 7% of total resources (per planet) cap or something similarly small.

Things to use the money on? More new features!

Galaxy Fleets? (Controlled by the MoW - may be nothing to spend the money on as people would have to donate ships)
I would love to see the Jumpgate come back, you ken? For those of you who don't remember the MoW could point the jumpgate at a gal and your gal gets -1 eta for that system for a set amount of time (and resources) - tres useful!

All other random wanderings welcome in this thread o/

I would prefer an 'opt in' system where if i chose to i could have the tax automatically deducted from my income. Consider how little time it would take to make your galaxy fund full if everyone was taxed 10% of their income every tick .

Whilst i am for new features in general, i would have to know the details first.

Dont you remember or know the mess this used to cause in R2? (or was it R1. i think it was R2). anyway, it was nuts.

If you permitted MoW's to build ships - what race would they be built under? All races?

If i remember correctly (and i do) Jumpgates only reduced the amount of fuel it took for fleets to move to another galaxy. Considering that fuel is no longer a concern then this usefulness is questionable. The reason an ETA reduction wasnt taken up was because of the massive damage a larger gal could do to small galaxies without jumpgates - let alone WITH them.

If anything, an Alliance Jumpgate - where alliance x receives a -1 ETA reduction to Alliance y would be better. infact, it would alter alliance wars as we know them.

That would be nuts!! .

yeah with like a 48 hour charge up period, which the other alliance would see.

then when forest declares war he could open the gate too, not that it'd help
