Buy new stuff. - Titus - 11-06-2005
Oh Dab and TG members are not obligated to use borderworlds ships, they can use whatever they want because this is a non-police non-pirate clan. :yes:

And I thought somehting:
By example , person1 has got a station or battleship with weapons/commodities/ships to sell.
Person2 buy a ship or anything else in this station.
I think the money should go to person1 and not to computer.
What about that ?

Well, alocating it to players is impossible, you need an admin for that, but yea, I think all prices should be the same for everyone. Wether your BW, house or pirate.

Quote:If this would be so, then if (example) SDF would be at war with AW, then they could easily pass thorugh the weapon platforms/patrols if they had neutral rep at least with outcasts.That's what I was planning to point out.
Quote:I think the money should go to person1 and not to computer.Absolutely impossible; taking interest from sells is also impossible.
This idea sounds fun. That's why you are all voting Yes. Actually it's not at all as fun as you think. Add a new weapon platform? yeah, it looks cool and will fight back if attacked, but AW, SDF and all others are not in-game factions, and the weapon platform AI won't be able to distinguish between them. Reputation is easy to change, so it's quite possible that a member of pirate faction will safely pass through, for example, Rheinland platform, and [RM] member may appear hostile to Rheinland navy and platform will attack him (the latter is not likely, but theoretically it's possible). The same goes for battleships and other objects.
But yeah, it will look cool. So you decide. Theoretically it's possible - with weekly updates that I won't be able to submit to Lancers -> random players won't be able to play because they'll have incorrect version, and even existing players will get lots of problems because version number will remain the same. I cannot change version number weekly.

We could do it once a month instead of each week. We could also make some new factions, but they dont own anything and just have the weapons platforms part of that faction, and then make only one of the player factions have a rep with them.

its a novel idear and all but the actual implemnation would be that difficult it would not be funny.. you would have to basicly creat ingame factions of all the current clans and then phisicaly set the the reputaion and not allow it to change which would take a tone of codeing if its even possiable....
i tend to agree witth monthly updates but to be honnest i think it would end up a giant mess.

I like this idea.
The only bad point is: if you own a Shipyard (or anything else) and human player buy a ship , you won't have the money...
And if you haven't got this money , you won't be able to make it profitable !
Second thing I thought (what could be cool for role-play): when you go to Commodity Trader in a planet (or anywhere else) , does the number of commodity you can buy is only limited by your Ship's cargo hole ?
Example: I want to buy (I know it impossible but it's just for example) 1 millions of Food Rations... I go to Commodities Trader... he'll have 1 millions of units in his stock ?
I asked that to tell you that: If you own a place what sell something , it could be cool to have to buy a certain quatity of a certain commoditie to be able to sell it to other players.
Example: I own a station what sells Diamonds... Someone (human player) want to buy 2.000 units of Diamonds. But I have got only 1.600 units in my stock. So I have to buy new Diamonds anywhere.
Understood ?
But I don't think it's possible !

Can it be made a faction, but a faction on the reputation list? If yes, then we could distinguish who should the instalation attack and who not. Or who to defend, you know that if you are enemy with navy and you are in NY, ageira, DSE and the other companies also atack you even if you are not enemy with them so if that is possible.... then maybie we could make NPCs on the side of one clan, of course buy them, well all this depends on if this is REALIZIBLE.

The solution to the hole faction situation is to do what Dab said, when theres a new version of Discovery, make the Factions, RM, AW, SDF stuff like that, but even then you can't make them hostile to certain players, so, it would be difficult, the most they would do is to fight off NPC's or players hostile to that faction, but as Igiss pointed out you can easly Bribe your way around WP's
Buy new stuff. - Dab - 11-11-2005
Easy solution. The new factions dont own anything but what the player half of the faction buys, and make it so that facion doesn't have enemies. And you can go to bars and make it unable to bribe that faction.
