Looking for opinions - massdriver - 06-08-2014
Harmless minipoll for my techdemo and what disco players want to see in near future (currently working character/account + mysql stuff)
-> Add character skill sheet a la EVE or not? for sure much less time consuming, mostly to make player play from "lows" to "highs" instead of ololo capshup I BUY in 2 mins bikoz frend gave me monu
-> Split character and his ship to be independent in time and space? (eg you fly capship, switch to fighter and escape, another player can board capship and get it as full property)
-> Perma character and/or ship death?
-> Multiple currency with convertion loss? (you would need specified currency to buy/sell services in each region of space/system)
-> Mod slots for gunz/equipment?
-> Player predefined templates or customizable character creation process? yet without faces

Please No. Don't turn Disco into EVE.
-> Split character and his ship to be independent in time and space? (eg you fly capship, switch to fighter and escape, another player can board capship and get it as full property)
No. Doesn't make sense inRP.
-> Perma character and/or ship death?
Interesting but would probably affect activity as players wouldn't want to lose their toys or characters.
-> Multiple currency with conversion loss? (you would need specified currency to buy/sell services in each region of space/system)
Also Interesting but would probably prove to be too complicated.
-> Mod slots for gunz/equipment?
Not sure what you mean by that.
-> Player predefined templates or customizable character creation process? yet without faces
This would be a very nice feature but I don't think it would be possible tech-wise since vanilla freelancer had nothing like that and the source code is not available.

this could give more "freedom" feel imho, since your character is not "soul-connected" to your ship
also this can bring more RP actually because your capship for example is a potential flying base with all services onboard or perhaps an escape ticket for your party members if ambushed

and this will make fat cash holders to be less meaningful

Nobody in here is talking about Disco.
@massdriver
Idk if there's a game out there with that or not, but what I'd like to see for once is a skill system where there is a constant loss of "experience" or "level of skill", resulting in the loss of the skill if you don't keep using it. Practically I'd like to see the introduction of the concept of "falling out of practice".
Separating characters from ships definitely gets a yes from me.
Perma ship loss is okay, perma death is rather only if there is a switch for it.
Multiple currency sounds interesting, I'd definitely give it a go.
I'm not sure what you mean by the last two points.

No
-> Split character and his ship to be independent in time and spaaaaaace? (eg you fly capship, switch to fighter and escape, another player can board capship and get it as full property)
Great idea. You might want to look @ X3 for the sample.
-> Perma character and/or ship death?
Server-side setting?
-> Multiple currency with convertion loss? (you would need specified currency to buy/sell services in each region of spaaaaaace/system)
Setting again
-> Mod slots for gunz/equipment?
Sure, if it would be balanced - there shouldn't be the best mod. Some might buff damage but nerf the speed, etc.
-> Player predefined templates or customizable character creation process? yet without faces
If you got time - why not?
Also, skype me pls.

@Server-side setting?
full ship loss for sure and maybe with some penalties for character, or well another line in config, so yes
@Mod slots for gunz/equipment?
equipment will be balanced as full modded, then nerfed if no mods installed, this will ensure no op overclocked gunz
unique op equipment will be available through special fame bonus program
