allow freeloader to give crystals between them, enhance roleplay for freeloaders pirates and grinders.
Giving aways cyrstals should not affect your daily limit for acquiring them.
Players must be in same sector like givemoney.

No error. Just a simple message.
Hope they can do this and it's not game breaking in anyway.
Crystal trading would be sweet I've even bought some before hehe.

This would have to have some kind of receiving limit if implemented I think, since a new character can generate a decent amount of crystals in a short time, because of the free crystals you get from completing badges/achievements

You can gift lite subs to people, and lite subs generate 50% more crystals. Soooo in a way, that is like giving crystals to others.

The point of Crystals is for people to buy them, from us. Doing this would make people less likely to buy them.

I rather buy full sub and fly a dent than buy crystals and only fly a goli or not even that. I already spent loong days getting enough to live comfortably.

I've been playing a game called Warframe lately, and one interesting thing they've done is come up with a way to flag all premium currency whether it's tradeable or not. You could have 100 premium and only be able to trade 20 of it because it was awarded or earned through some other means.

Perhaps something similar could be done, where only purchased Crystals could be traded. The only thing I don't like about this in the games that allow it, is that it starts tying real value to things, and people frequently don't want to trade with anything but premium currency. But, then again, most of those games don't have subscriptions.

Is there any way to add a 'buy crystals as a gift' option?

That's really a different suggestion entirely, but yes, that's doable and probably should be added. Although I'm not immediately sure how that would "work" best from a UX standpoint. But that discussion belongs in its own thread.

Yeah, I've kicked around versions of that idea. It changes things a lot, and complicates the process of assessing consumption of virtual currency (and tuning of that currency). It's possible, but there may be some other things we try first. And, like you say, Warframe is on a bit of a different model.
