I was thinking that perhaps the game could afford to allow a bit a micro-transactions to the game which would help not only the player who bought them, but potentially the whole player base as a whole.

Two things I can think of are,
City Spawn, a basic level 1 city that is immune to negative population change for 7 days (to establish industry before it collapses) - $15-25
Preserve City Population - 7 days, Keeps a single selected city population from declining due to natural course or neglect (not including disasters from players or random events) - $10-15

Just make sure to place a warning that these are transient and the city can collapse at any moment.

And for new players that have accounts less then 30 days old, perhaps allow them to make a one time only purchase stimulus packages to get them started.
It could include income booster or reduced construction time or any number of things, or a combination of them in one or few different packages.
Once these new players get on their feet, it should help expand the games population.


Spawning cities not going to happen =)

But you already can get an accelerated Start option. There's one for $90]]> Tue, 19 Dec 2017 20:31:55 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2862-suggestion-for-added-revenue-to-the-game.aspx Message from Armitage
Preventing the decline of population seems way too overpowered. Spreading the cost out among a few people makes it very cheap to keep a city alive indefinitely.

And there's already one time boosters for new players in the form of initial capital and a high level headquarters.]]> Tue, 19 Dec 2017 11:59:43 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2862-suggestion-for-added-revenue-to-the-game.aspx Message from Lorian Vyorin Tue, 19 Dec 2017 09:23:07 GMT http://forum.baronsofthegalaxy.com/topic2862-suggestion-for-added-revenue-to-the-game.aspx Message from CheapBullets
