Seeing that everyone has a money system and all, I went over the rules and saw no references to the money system saying that you can lend to another person, therefore I suggest that we should allow the option of lending money to another person. Also to make this suggestion worth one's while, I also think that there should be cheaper Knightmares so that there should be more Knightmare battles. Seeing that most of the times in the forum, the fights are usually on foot rather than on Knightmares. Going over Code Geass, I see that the majority of the battles and wars are fought with Knightmare frames supported by infantry, which act as a commodity. Also, for Britannia, I have noticed that they have mass-produced the Vincent, so it would be a nice addition to the Knightmare sales to have it available, to replace the Gloucesters since it is the future, and there should be a replacement for those older models. Just a thought, that's all. It'd be nice if it was taken into consideration.

actually so far people haven't had the chance to get in a real fight, mainly because one side doesn't have knightmares, even though everyone can buy the basic model

Which side doesn't have Knightmares?
Well, for the KFs being a bit old models it has been stated in the timeline that "- - the world becomes a more peaceful place as wars die down under the guidance of the U.F.N. Military technology actually declines while all efforts are placed into reconstruction and aid for those who suffered from the numerous wars of the past., so the models used even now are kind of old for that reason. - -" So due to this, the models now used are what they are. As for their price, I think they're reasonable - and the basic model and even the next model up from it are quite easy to be achieved by a common player, before the more developed Frames. After all, Knightmares are still quite superior machines compared to other means in warfare, and because of that they shouldn't be too cheap. In that sense, 1000 credits for a basic frame and so on is not too much nor too little either, and everyone can still allow to have one even with just their starter credits.
About the lending, it was an issue at the old forums and I remember we had a solution which did allow it - though I think it was even before the 'no canons' reboot, so I'm not sure if the resolution we made back then is still somewhere safe or if it has been deleted etc. This can be taken into staff consideration, though.

Just to toss in my own two cents about the Knightmare battles... The issue with having more battle-based threads is that not all characters are fighters. To make the gave battle-heavy runs the risk of closing those threads to non-combat characters or at least seriously limiting their play time. Even characters with military background (let's use Lei-Ling) wouldn't have as much play time (or at least relevant play time) as a front-line fighter.
Using myself as an example: Sylvana is a front-line fighter and would have no problem being written into battle threads. Lei-Ling, however, (even if she's not bound to Tianzi at the moment) is a strategist. She's not on the front lines and would therefore be limited to her support role which would realistically not give her as much of a role as the fighters.
Too many battles almost gives favoritism to fighters.
