Thread: Dvnce Top 5 issue status??
As long as we are thinking about a new list then I would have:
#1 GCW structures craftable by Architects
#2 OMUs not in crates
#3 Storage space in houses OR Increase in size of stacks/crate capacity
#4 Solar/Fusions experimentation (I would be willing to see the base BER drop by 1 or 2 points to accommodate this)
#5 Structure factories take 2 lots
Well since we're apparently voting, here's my list:
1) Experimentation on fusions and solars.
2) Ore mining units not crating.
3) Long term renewable income.
4) Ability to participate in GCW by creating deeded structures. (could satisfy #3)
5) Color options for furniture items.
It now occurs to me when I did the one voting thread I had "decay" and everyone was split on that. But I think if I had "a renewable source of income" then it probably would have made the top 5.
So Bandola are you going to compile the votes this time?

And you would have massive fortifications that would be a major greifing issue on players accidently shuttling into that city.

They would have to make it so that Faction Points were required in some way to use the deeds.
They could add new deeds that we could build but if the buyer wanted to deploy them then they would have to use up their FP at the time of planting the deed. We could build and sell with no FP requirements but the deeds wouldn't be useable without the FP expenditure.
Actually ... I think the apropriate push would be to use the faction points to buy the schematic
I am going to be working on a TOP 5 breakdown Today ... (hehe utilizing that valuable time at work 
)
I will try to get it posted by tonight if not expect to see it tomarrow..

Do you mean that the FP should go to the architect? I don't think so but just wanna check to be sure. I don't think it should work like that. I would assume you mean that the FP is used up when the deed is bought. But that might be harder to do since buying the deed is just a trade exchange or a vendor purchase. And if the FP is used when you buy it then what keeps the architect from making the deed and then planting it themself without using FP? They didn't buy it so no FP used.
Actually, from what I understand from Dvnce, is that the Schematic to actually craft the item would have to be purchased from a recruiter, 'per' GCW faction based item that you want an Architect to make. Anyone could go *buy* the schematic if they have the points, but, they would have to hand it to one of us to actually get it made. Then anyone that has the lots could place it. The faction payout would be done by purchasing the schematic. If done this way I would presume the schematic would be oneshot.

Oh, ok. I think that scheme would work perfectly.
yes that is it...
but the entire faction perk system is a joke all the way around
no one really bothers with it
rank means nothing and the items you can "buy" are not really worth the effort....like 20 missions for a chair?
most people seem to have really given up on that entirely...
the weapons and droids are not really any better that what you can just buy...the ST armor cost way too many points for its poor quality...only reason people buy it is vanity/
I think all the faction perk items should just be moved to the approriate masters of those professions...
if i could make that tech furniture, i would have 1000s of happy customers
we could make the tech armoire for months and the sky didnt fall and the sun kept shining
this is the point i wish dunce would make...the faction perk system just needs an entire overhaul
My suggestion is that Faction rank is all you buy with the points! The structures would have certs ---- just like not anyone can place a bar, hosital or merchant tent --- maybe corporals can place covert/mines, sargeants turret and only cols & generals the larger bases...
The GCW is so poorly done and the devs have no ideas...its time the just gave US , the players, the tools we need to improve things....its one of the last vestiges of the KOster era that remains and is holding back the game.
