Selling Ships

Nov 14, 2010 ryan reign link
1. Make ships that are sold by players appear in the Buy Ship tab.
2. If selling a faction specific ship to a faction other than its own...
A. significantly higher price, perhaps three times the original price.
B. Slight standing increase for faction you sell to. Say, 5 points.
C. Slightly higher faction decrease for faction that made the ship. Around 20 points.
3. Selling opposing sides ships (Serco & Itani) to each other results in severe faction loss. Probably 500.
4. Selling ships to Corvus automatic faction loss of 200.

Faction loss should require that it eventually be resold to the original faction - else, how would they know?

The ships transponder registers that it ownership has been changed upon sale, due to flight codes being changed and that the EGTS (Emergency Genetic Transfer System) is now registered to a cloning bay on an enemy station.

No Ryan. You should be able to buy ships WITH the flight code.... Say, I'd buy a ship from you, now I can run the turrets in Dau without them knowing that it was me. I'll blow up some guards and you will take the initial hit in faction until they figure out it was me. Like, 10 minutes or so...

That would be fun!

if i have stocked +50 potatoes in grey before becoming itani KOS and now i can fly them, then players selling their ships even to rats or rivals would be a logical evolution and a big improvement.

ships black market ftw!

kind of Strat. But I want to buy the ships wholesale. And be able to buy and sell IFF'sand be able to resell those I have bought.

I could SO see the fun of me running a ship that is identified as one STRAT (no guild tag, that should be a give-away to anyone so they can run...). Maybe I bought the IFF/ship from a PA members who bought it from a TGFT member who bought it from you. And once I was finished with it, if I haven't broken any laws that is, I could sell it on to, well I dunno, Peytros? and he could have fun with it.

Hey Devs, any comments?

And where iz my poniez?!!
