' Wrote:I would like to see Liners make money off their cargo as they travel, similar to how cruise ships in real life make money from their passengers during the cruise.
Perhaps some commands at different bases or at different sightseeing locations to make money off of a cargo full of VIPs or Tourists could be added. I suggest this only because I have the ability to help code it. What do you think sir?
oh you mean like accumulating wealth while having the passengers/vips in the cargo hold? Akin to the opposite of perishable goods....instead of losing money you gain it while having various passengers on board

Just sit there and wait till you make more money than you can make with the normal trading system.
' Wrote:But if we put them on a ship specially designed for these things, then it would be no bother. I see the extra cargo as something required on other ships. As in they have to provide this stop on a commercial transport or else the passengers won't board. Liners need to have some sort of advantage when it comes to passengers, or else I can just get the best out of it by stuffing them in a Mastodon?Better idea:
You can only carry passengers with the OSC ID. Problem solved.
It's already implemented in a way, since you cannot buy the Rheinland Train (just as an example) without the proper ID.

I think that's a very good idea. But it should be for ships as well. IND ships people about. As well as DSE and Borderworlds. Crew and workers constitutes as human cargo that should be treated humanely. So there should be a system allows the transport of human cargo. That way a Waste Disposal ship can be taxed very heavily for crimes against humanity by ferrying people about in a Golem.

Of course its a good idea. If you put a cap on the amount of money that can be made - say half the loads worth - with something like that, it'll be alright.

I'm trying to make a small side company (Unofficial ofcourse) to OSC, that only transports passengers and such. Trying to promote the use and routes of Yacht's and Liners.

Other ways of limiting it include only permitting one "cash-in" at a given tourist attraction per run. When does a run begin? When you have an empty hold and buy a tourist with an OSC ID. When does a run end? When you have tourists in your hold with an OSC ID and empty your hold.

*cough* THAT's exactly the goal of OSC already.;)
As I also support Hone's idea, is it possible to restrict the purchase of human cargo to particular ships like liners and the yacht via flhook?

My only question is, where do you want to draw the line? I have seen plenty of NPC Armored Transports carrying VIPs.
Liners/yachts ect - finsch - 06-15-2011
Armoured transport is made for carrying VIP, that's ok.
Worst things is saw was an IMG miner shipping VIPs and an OSC LuxLiner shipping ore...:wacko:
So you can exclude a lot of ships on the fly.

' Wrote:true. But if you specifically name many individuals, as opposed to naming just one group, you can make a bounty.
No you can't. If you try to name the entire roster of one faction the admins/moderators will lock the bounty. I think the guideline was that if the bounty had more than three individuals the moderators could see it as a blanket bounty.
