    Any coins from events that can't be spent after it finishes are lost. For a player that's a shame as we've played for them and by design, they can't be banked.

    This is to include a feature where unspent coins are spent for the player instead and any residual coins are converted to pearls. At least in one way or another we keep what we earn. For example;

    - Event completes and player Bob has 77 coins left over.
    - Bob still has the customary window to spend what coins he has, however Bob has gone on holiday so cannot.
    - (Using the current event) 3 ship piece crates are auto purchased for 20 coins each leaving 17 coins left over.
    - The 17 coins can't be spent and are therefore converted to pearls at a ratio of 1:5.

    Great idea but I have a question.
    What if you have over 100 coins?
    There would need to be an option to prioritize what the auto spend purchases.
    For instance, player Bob has 250 coins. There are a variety of combinations of purchases he could make with these coins. (2 perks and 2 ship pieces, 1 perk and 7 ship pieces, etc.) Player Bob would need to be able to say "I want as many perks as possible and spend the rest on ship pieces" or "I want all ship pieces".
    I'm guessing it would default to spending all possible coins so players can't try and cheat it to get massive amounts of pearls. (Which is a good thing!)

    @JoshW being able to prioritise what is spent first by marking a preference would be ideal, say a radio button above / below the chest to mark this though I think that would be unlikely though. Instead I agree with your thoughts and to discourage hoarding of coins, they'd likely be spent on the most expensive option first, the perk crates.
