You can use Cloak which doesn’t get taxed then, nothing stopping you from using it in ECC, and since its not rendered it wont cause lag to ECC either.

I really like the changes Rexxus made to the bank and economy and taxes.
My first impression of the changes were that of balance. It just looks more balanced to me compered to what we have now where credit making out of interest seems kind of game breaking. I wouldn’t say this if we were talking about the natural world because the natural world follows different natural laws then an artificial world. So an artificial game needs artificial laws that balances the limits of the artificial game itself. And in this aspect i see RExx has accomplished that part for the most part with these changes. Congrats Rex!
By the way i’m no socialist i’m an anarcho-capitalist /private law society, natural law etc (Look up Hans Hermmann Hopps Books in the Ludwig von Mises Institute to get an idea.).[https://mises.org/library/rise-and-fall-society](https://mises.org/library/rise-and-fall-society)
So i wouldn’t respect any of these changes in the natural world of course. :]

Why not just keep all the same EB levels as they were used to but just restrict interest to 70 million which is the max donation anyway.

I don’t know what you feel and you can’t know what other people feel, you can only guess and ask.
So if I understand you correctly you say that people are giving feedback because they feel envy. They don’t want other players to be more wealthy and that is why they like the changes? If that was your message it is not contributing to this discussion. It provokes a dispute and I don’t like this way of argumentation.
You also say that starter planets were (are?) too difficult. I have played on the pirate planet with a team and it was ridiculously difficult on the third day after the wipe. But it was this way, because it was so highly populated at that time. I played there a few days before the wipe and it was very, very easy.
I did a cb:reset to the guardian homeworld, because the pirate planet was so difficult for me and my team. The Guardian planet was very, very easy again…
So from my own experience with the game I came to the conclusion that some of your argumentation is obviously wrong and I can understand that people don’t like to respond to that.

Thanks for your feedback (not all but most of you).
