Here`s a suggestion. Just like you can have an ignore list on pms, how about a feature where if you`re selling stuff on the market you can have a list of up to (say) 20 empires (if you so choose) to whom you will not sell to.
If they`re trying to buy on the market and it`s yourstuff, a pop-up/or different screen can come up saying (along the lines of) "nope, you`re a reject -- would you like to buy the same amount of stuff at the next price"
What do ya think? e.g. a fed can pull together and boycott another fed. In an UW, sellers can boycott most of the UW`s supporters to prevent `em buying up minerals (hence allowing newbs to build up and attack etc). |

I call that MARKET TRANSFER. |

99+ day(s) ago | Er, Detritus, perhaps you misunderstood, thats exactly what i mean :
no empires that make war at my fed can buy my things.
or i misunderstood you...... |
Detritus
99+ day(s) ago | nah man. if you`re at war with a fed it should be almost automatic that you can`t buy off them... think reality. If I was truly at war with you would I be selling you minerals etc to help you build weapons you would use against me...
Er, no. In a word. |

99+ day(s) ago | or at least an autoblock against buyers who have fedwar with you, usually you wont sell weapons to your enemies |
Detritus
99+ day(s) ago | Excellent idea. Though I think there should be some sort of limit to the number of Empires you`re allowed to block... |

99+ day(s) ago | Much better suggestion than the previous idea of transferring, this system you could sell cheap and block most of the greedy competitors, it could make Miners more important to a Fed |

99+ day(s) ago | great idea arch...i believe this will create a better reason to control the market. Get 6 major min/gc producers in a fed and they can boycott their fedwar :D would be a more tactical advantage to take to the field of battle...kinda like in life how ppl do it there... |

99+ day(s) ago | i think this is a great idea plus it gives more power to the miners which is never a bad thing only prob is tho is that there is only a 3% chance of stephen reading this and then if he does theres only a 0.00000000000000001% of him implementing so although a nice idea its never gona happen |

99+ day(s) ago | not sure i follow that Loof ... why would there be less for new players?
isn`t the point that you could if you want boycott big buyers (and/or fed enemies)? Maybe restrict # empires boycottable to 5 per person ... |
EvilLoof
99+ day(s) ago | would give even more incent to horde minerals no? leaving even less on market for new and poor players |
