Hey Zac!
Glad to see you're getting back into the whole RPG thing. Lemme tell you,
even though I didn't get far in S62 (lol), it was still the greatest
inspiration to Starship: Spraw. Without you, this whole thing never would
have happened.
As for currency, we've already decided that Platinum Chits are the main
currency. Other currencies are in use in some sectors, but for inter-sector
trade it's platinum all the way. A banking idea is a great idea if someone
can get it to work.
Anyway, hope you enjoy Starship!
