I'll take a shot
Starbonds are obviously a sideshow, as the data that is important to HSX is moviestock data. So, this may all be a moot point.
250 has defined Blockbusters? Give me a break, the top 10 movies each year are all trending up (simply by ticket inflation) and the top movies each year are grossing more too, so that is invalid.
PBETT vs ZGALI, well HSX decides (based on their rules) who is attached, so that's their own doing.
What I'd like to see are fewer and fewr restrictions on the whole game, or more of a free market. I know this always catches flak, but limiting the number of shares anyone can buy and topping off SBO prices is nothing but manipulating the game, IMO. DMac obviously thinks it is necessary, but with more freedom, comes more opportunity to gain and LOSE. And I think this is important. Making the game harder (making it more difficult to earn returns), by increased volatility, which is likely, would be a good thing for the market. People would learn (as we have with the 50k to 100k share increase), and fools would be parted with their money sooner. maybe we wouldn't see the runaway increases in the big port, which is getting ridiculous. Most of the big ports own everything anyway.
I guarantee you, we would not see these huge 87 point adjusts anymore, and therefore, the market info would be more accurate, and dare i say it, more valuable to HSX. (this all sounds like I'm tlaking about MST, but it goes for SBO as well).
With many movies doing so far above $250m, May 07, 06:13

Ten years ago was ten years ago. Times change and so should the game. Which is precisely why it won't happen. {nm} May 08, 07:35
what benefit to the game would there be to increase the credit cap? {nm} May 07, 08:01
yeah i wonder, is there really any? i guess extra bucks occassionally but, if an actor is just dropping one 300 for another May 07, 08:05
...and would you only increase the cap for newly delisting movies? May 07, 22:04
Thanks everyone, good points all. To me, the benefit would be more variability in SB pricing, and May 07, 11:28
The rewards would be greater, but the risks would be lower. {nm} May 07, 13:01
Yes, Robert Downy Jr. Made Avengers Great. I don't think it would have broke records if another actor was in his place. {nm} May 07, 21:36
