Whats your Discovery?

[Kadaeux]

Picture this, you are the inventor, story writer and coder of Discovery. Its your Discovery.

Go nuts! Think of your own Discovery!

Hmm, to address these in order.

What would be your storyline?

Nothing much different than it is now, maybe evolve situations over time to reflect the impact of in-game events.

What would be your goal?

Much the same, everyone comes to have fun in an oversized-interactive story.

What features would you include?

I can't think of any worth doing that haven't been implemented, though (as I always am) the more ships avaliable the better. Maybe a way to show how much money someone has with a Scan?

How would you run the Server?

No differently than its run now, maybe put in some RP protections to prevent players being totally impoverished by rabid PvPers or the like. (Its ok in my opinion to have an RP reason to open fire, it is not ok to destroy the sum of someones work in the process. If a trader informs a pirate (truthfully) that they are destitute unless they can complete that run the pirate should let them pass and get them on the way back for example.

Would you go down the RP, PvP road, or strike a balance?

Strict RP, PvP is about as fun as sticking your hand in a blender without a good RP reason to go with.

Would you give characters millions on starup?

No, maybe a little more than 8'500 (say 50k) but nothing silly.

Would you abolish player controlled capitals?

No, but I would strictly control who could and could-not have anything above a Gunboat. People getting anything about a Gunboat would have to have proven themselves as Excellent RPers who hold the spirit of fair play and "we're all here to have fun, so don't ruin it for someone else"



As for other things I would do.

Smuggler ID: They are smugglers, they would be able to have no more than 20% of illicit goods on board, it'd have to be "hidden" amongst other stuff. I beleive this would make RPing a smuggler more interesting in the end. As a benefit to this nobody could demand more than 50% of the contraband the Smuggler is carrying. (And none of the "junk")

New ID: (Due to Smuggler restrictions) Blockade Runner: They would have what the Smugglers do now. They run the police/law blockades with as much product as they can carry unlike smugglers who conceal small volumes of high value amongst goods.
