(Optional) Automatic Billing for Supergroups?

A simple idea. It's annoying to log in to the game and see that the base's power has lapsed, because people have put off paying the base rent or what have you. It's even more annoying to have to track down someone who's ranked high enough in an SG to be allowed to pay the rent - and god forbid your Super-Leader have it set so only they can, and be missing from the internet for any amount of time.

So, how about an option, in the Supergroup Options menu, that'll allow someone with permission to pay rent the ability to turn on automatic payment of rent, when it's due? If people would rather not do this, either preferring to pay it themselves or trying to stretch their Prestige, it could certainly be turned off. And if people want, they can not ever have to worry about rent so long as they have enough banked Prestige to keep making those four-digit rent payments.

I'd be happy if Auto-payment was an option.

It's not like Prestige is that high for most bases that a single mission or two can't pay the rent, it's the minor nuisance/time-sink of trekking off to Port Oakes or (GC?), zoning as many times as needed, then returning. Good thing that during the return trip you can use the SG portals, if equipped.

It's annoying enough that I created a special Prestige Mule for my personal SGs who is permanently logged off at that one building in PO and City Hall.

It's faster to log out and log him in than to run whoever I'm playing at the time over to pay the rent.

It's be great if they let you auto-pay, or pay in advance. They could tack on some kind of convenience fee to placate whatever weird sense of game balance informs their insistence that we show up in person once a month.

One thing, though: Rent is "due" every 4 weeks, but you don't get any penalties whatsoever until 6 weeks have passed, and access isn't revoked until 8 weeks have passed. Automatic rent would effectively hike your prestige costs for rent by 50-100% (due to paying more frequently), depending on what you want your base for.

I'd love this.
