' Wrote:I am a bit unsure about traders, who would possibly send all their cash to a different character just to be able to tell a pirate "I dont have the money, I cant pay."
Well in that case the trader would have to be forced to drop the cargo I guess. He would then have to land with no cash, switch characters, transfer the cash back, and continue trading. Quite difficult way to save 2 mils. But this can be added in the rules (abusing /givecash to escape from paying the fee to a pirate). Let's see if it occurs. There are so many way to abuse everything, one just has to hope people come here to have fun. (I always enjoyed to RP a trader being ambushed...)

/givecash = a direct credit transfer from one person's bank account to another.
Surely you should only be able to arrange such balance transfers while at your local branch on a station? How else would identity theft be prevented?
Make it so that the sender can only do /givecash while docked.

Hey, and what about the money attacks if some would send someone else 1 899 999 credits to corrupt the playerfile?

@Epholl: I guess you have to be careful there. Same as when transferring the credits the original way (via the "U" key).

That's a good idea too. But I fear there might be some limitations as well as Cannon said somewhere else that if the amount doesn't update properly you have to take off, move in space for a while and dock.

Cost of doing that kind of attack; 1,850,000,000 credits
Personal financial losses to victim caused by corruption; Probably around 50,000,000 credits.
Doesnt sound financially sound, to me...

Oh...that's cruel.
Well the givecash function checks the receiving character account to make sure this doesn't happen. Unfortunately I couldn't remember what the limit was (and was too lazy to check) and made it 1999,999,999. This will be fixed as soon as poss.

This is great.
Sadly my trader character was renamed the old way and thus is bugged.
- /givecash command doesn't work with him giving out, or any of my other characters transferring to him.
- /renameme doesn't work either.
Any way to fix this?

The only way is to start a fresh new character.

Ugh, figured as much.
Time to start SSing my jumphole locations then.
