Give corps own techcells

[Pavel]

After the last forum drama concerning Golem (which wasn't the first time in general when it comes to that ship) I came to conclusion ALG needs own techcell for its special ship. Right now it's classified as house civilian, which isn't really true, since it's inRP special ship, limited to ALG only, with even their closest partners requiring permission.

Golem's classification as house civilian results in fact Golem is flown by factions which aren't ALG's partners at all, or may be even its competitors. It's Abfalgedifficultword alone which should have control over who gets its ship and who gets cells for it. FR5 doesn't really work, at all. Only techcompat will help in that case, and I'm sure we have few other corps with own ships which'd deserve own techcells.

IMG has own shipline and cells, GMG, even AI, corps also have own, inRP jealously guarded ships, not really meant for open market sale. Those all fancy guild-type factions (and even some really small pirate groups) have own stuff and decide who gets it; we want such perks aswell.

Because why not? I don't see any reason different than treating house corporations as worse, 2nd class factions, "cashcows".



Yes I have own secret, nefarious reasons to make that thread.

I really see no reason, why this should be implemented. AFAIK, Golem is one-of-kind exception, you can always add that Golem can only be flown under ALG ID, just like with whale

What's that? I didn't quite catch your off-topic comment. -mwerte

IMG and GMG are a different kind of factions. No house corp have private ships and for a good reason.

Or just remove compats entirely.

If by "good reason" you mean fact they were pretty much omitted during earlier stages of development of this mod and classified as worse kind of factions, then I agree.

[Thyrzul]

Besides the ALG Mover, can you give other examples of house corporations having their own shipline to warrant such extension of the technology chart?

For now I can think of Samura's Hayabusa, and future ships which'd be modeled for corporations.

I hope Thyr you don't think I'm suggesting implementation of "empty" cells for corps which don't have any own ship, do you?

[Jack_Henderson]

Yep. Every faction should have something nice that is "theirs", with which they can rp, give away, deny, etc... therefore: yes, tech cells for everybody. And as it is hinted at: definitely own shiplines for corporations! That would be pretty cool.

Yes, give house corps, something that they own and should be licensed for use by other factions. Much like ALG Golem. This gives each faction some kind of uniqueness and people would be inclined to play either as an indy or official to check out that ship.

I asked because I had no idea what you had in mind. You mentioned "corps", but seemingly the only corporation out there to be affected by it is ALG because of the Golem, even the Hayabusha is a civilian vessel. (J3P 5S "Hayabusa" Civilian Scout Fighter)

You suggested this implementation before even suggesting own transports/shiplines for house corporations. It would have looked way more logical in the opposite order.
