About why nan gun is silly:
it uses energy to create nanobots that fix other ships. So far, so good. But just as well, every craft should be able to conduct immediate self-repairs expending energy. Surely there are nan guns conveniently located inside the craft, shooting himself.

I thought we did random cash treasures in the past or in some other core did we not?

edit - random value levels I mean

Yeah I think it was up to 1k right? It got axed soon after because it was too easy get a lot of cash I think plus I'd rather have my scouts do useful stuff besides chase cashboxes /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Could cashboxes be given negative values?

i suppose you could try and throw them at enemy ships about to dock to make them loose money.

unless you mean floating money, but that seems a bit mean making cash pickups a gamble, and mysteriously loosing money is a bit weird really. (despite what life tells us)

Powerups ARE treasure, right? So the GC can just turn them off (although nobody ever does... seems people like them).

Personally, I think that although in theory they're silly (for conquest, anyway), in practice they add to the game and make it more fun and interesting.

For non-conquest games, there should be MORE powerups and treasure. A DM-oriented core could make very very good use of them.

Floating cash can't be given negative values.

You can give ships negative cost. It gives you money upon launch.

You can also give pods a cost, and gain money whenever a pod is rescued.
