Capship "Set Repair Price" for docked ships

Jun 27, 2015 Kierky link
Allow the owner of the capship to set repair/refill prices for all ships that dock with it.

For example (80 credits) per point of armor. And 100 credits per missile/rocket. This would not apply to the owner obviously. And if the repairs are set absurdly high, a warning comes up for docked players to confirm they want to repair for this price.

+1

That sounds great from an RP perspective!

+1 but it would have to override the auto-repair and refill function (i.e. be different than repairing in a normal station). Otherwise you could trick unsuspecting people to dock in your ship and steal all their money.

Or perhaps an initial dialog that displays the repair/refill price before you dock -- i.e. when you get within 50m from the dock.

(i don't think a warning only if the price is absurdly high is good enough)

Agreed with the compulsory warning, however i think having a popup box come up as youre flying to dock would be detrimental.

The algorithm already exists.
If you dock to repair your ship in one of the war convoy blockade NPC capships, you will be charged for repairs and ammo.
The same could be applied to keyed users of the player owned tridents.
Only thing that needs to be added is the money going to the owners account.

+1; also do this for conq stations

"but it would have to override the auto-repair and refill function"

No it wouldn't. Auto-RR is a plugin, remember, not part of the stock game. What would need to happen is for somebody to update the plugin to allow people to set an upper limit to how much it's allowed to pay, or something like that. Not the dev's responsibility.

It's a plugin made by raybondo, and one many people use. It is the devs responsibility -- if they don't put some kind of warning before you are charged 5,000,000,000,000,000 for getting your vulture repaired, they will be flooded with support tickets demanding a reversal. It's in their best interest to prevent that from happening.

I'm pretty sure the devs would say use it at your own risk.

Auto-RR has bitten people's bank accounts in the past. Maybe someone should make a version of it with a spending limit feature?

No. It's a sample plugin, and like all plugins, it is NOT supported by guild software.

let's implement this as soon as you get rid of the billions of credits that you exploited from some past bug Kierky.

You must be TGFT. Lulz. Go file another support ticket.

In any case leave your bullshit at the door, this is the suggestions forum, not the "butthurt person who makes every topic about some personal feud" forum. You don't belong here.

+1 as soon as the devs fix the free reps and reloads and require some kind of supplies on board that deplete for reps and reloads.

That would be lame and boring, biretak. That sort of thing ranks right up there with making 200 tonne XCs refuel at every station because they spend all day laying on the turbo trying to get anywhere.
