ID-Based Cargo Discounts

[looqas]

2nd : problems with the team exploit, A buy with discount, B sells higher price.

I think that's not too great a problem. At least it makes do teamwork and convoy up with others. If the bonuses for the IDs are not done over the top then it's ok. Disco is easy place to grind cash as it is so I don't see that big problems of boosting the RP trading.

loogas, the reason i said I didnt follow his statement of possible abuse is that...

To receive the X% bonus in my suggestion, you would need -BOTH- ID and Tag of the appropriate faction.

Example:
Buyer would need Ageira tag -And- ID to get a discounted buy price on Gate/Lane parts.
Seller would need Ageira tag -And- ID to get a boosted sell price on Gate/Lane Parts.

It would be rather redundant to trade those Gate/Lane Parts to someone else for the sale.
===========================================================

As for Buying at a Discounted Price / Reselling on the same base for the boosted sell price.
FL already remembers a player's last dock in the event of a death for Respawn.
FLHook is used to move someone from one base to another base.

FLHook could then possibly be used to add a check for these Faction Benefits to see if that player is on the same base.

I know, but 2 people can go around this easily if they partner up. One with the tag + ID buys the load of commodities and gives them to the partner waiting outside the base. Then he goes back to get a shipment for himself too. And reverse repeat this at the destination. Then it's all about setting the balance right between those two players moneywise.

AND I have nothing against this practise either really. It forces them to fly together which in my opinion is good for the discovery.

I believe it is, but as this is FLHook your talkin' about, Server discussion is that way. *points to Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 server discussion*

Don't forget to give Slavers a Slaves bonus!
(Another obvious one)

Quorg, you're officially a moron.

Way to be useless, Quorg.

a suggestion here. to go around the possible abuse of purchasing and reselling on the same base. how about if they only get the bonus upon selling the commodity with the correct ID's and IFF's instead of an initial discount. (original purchase price is the same, resell price on a different base recieves a x% bonus)

also, the original proposition (edit to the cargo size) did initial solve the issue of abuse because a change in the ID would probably overload the character, and would have too much cargo to launch.

Kabump/gravedig.
This thread still has plenty of life in it.


And for the last time:
THIS IS ABOUT CARGO SPACE MODIFICATIONS.
NOT BUY/SELL PRICES!


Discuss.

This doesn't achieve much except from rewarding RP trading which good roleplayers should do already. And those who don't will find out sooner or later and just buy ID's according to the most profittable route appointed by FLComp.

Then we'll end up with OVER9000 ID/equipment/ship mismatch sanction reports...
