In game commodity events discussion thread

[Widow]

After some discussion it has been decided that commodity events will be introduced into the game.

These may be determined by current roleplay events, especially those which would result in an increased supply and demand of a particular item. For example, if there is damage to a base, repair commodities may be priced higher at the location where they are needed the most. A party could involve beverages, and public events may pay more for the transport of passengers or tourists. These will run for both lawful and unlawful factions, and we will try to get two operating in different parts of space at the same time.

These events will be separated into two categories.

• Short, high reward events that will only last a matter of hours, these will be advertised in game and will not be run at the same time every day.
  
• Longer, less rewarding events run that will last up to a month, these will be advertised on the forums.

Please share any ideas and supporting role play you have. I'll be reading and taking note. You may just see you're idea pop up in game! To make a suggestion, leave the following information here in this thread.

Code:

[u][b](NPC) Faction:[/b][/u] <Name of faction and/or NPC group>
[u][b]Idea:[/b][/u] <What do you want to have a better sell price, and why? Be creative!>
[u][b]Supporting roleplay:[/b][/u] <Links to supporting roleplay>

Please note, for the moment these here will only be bonuses on the price of items, it will not change anything to do with the game.

These events will start in approximately 48 hours, but there is no cut off time for ideas!

Please keep the discussions to the linked thread here!!

Discuss. Because why not.

I'd love to see it. My first idea is with Trade Lane supplies to Sprague, Kurile and Solarius Station. For example, once 1.000.000 parts are delivered to that location, a trade lane network is added via next update.

Is that something like periodical ore and contraband buffs in the past?

[Widow]

Similar, yes.

Aha...

The last time only jammi knew how to do it, when he left "2 weeks long" silver ore buff turned into months long period, until the next goddamn mod update. I had members leaving DHC to join IMG because we don't mine silver.


I hope this time more than one person knows how to do it, so some factions don't end up in deep synthpaste in case something goes wrong.

[Sath]

So, what kind of roleplay should be done, before submitting in a contraband buff request? Or in that case any commodity.

[Widow]

Understood Pavel, and I can assure you it's not going to be a constant one faction gets an uber bonus because its forgotten kinda thing.


@ Moriarty. To start off, you will need a reason why - Base the rest around this. Some other things you might want to look into are what you'll do with it, how you'll get it if needed, what will happen when its done, and how will this benefit the group as a whole.

I'm not going to set strict guidelines because every RP story is different, every faction lore is different.

Be creative. Have some fun with it.

How will they be advertised in-game? Through console/orange messages, so everyone can see it?

[Sath]

And also,

There will be daily events of such kind, which are unannounced, as well as events with a longer span but with less rewards?

Again, "players can request new commodity buffs with RP". This will be part of a longer event, or the daily ones? Or will admins buff random commodity prices daily and announce it in game, on the console?

[Widow]

It'll be over console with regular reminders while it is on. Because the short ones will not be happening 24/7 it wont be a constant thing to do.

As for the players RP being involved with this, that can happen on either the long events, or the short ones.
