Artisan Archive

This is just a quick unofficial tally of the posts up to mine, for those who (like me) are interested in how things are leaning so far.

(There were a few places where I couldn't tell if the person was saying yes or no, so assumed abstention, and one notable thing was people who liked droid and/or crafted terminals, but didn't like paying power, only monitoring. Personally, I voted yes based on "droids", and didn't sweat the details of that question. Treated it more as a "droids for managing building 'stuff' remotely, with stuff still open to debate. The other one people hedged on most was consumables: many like the idea of more, dislike the idea of forced.)

Anyway, the tally:

1: pro 19, con 7, overall +12 Miner Profession
2: pro 17, con 8, overall +9 Harvester Certs
3: pro 8, con 13, overall -5 Email Monitoring
4: pro 22, con 4, overall +18 Droid/Terminal Monitoring
5: pro 15, con 10, overall +5 More Lots for Crafters
6: pro 14, con 12, overall +2 Salvage
7: pro 14, con 12, overall +2 Resource Improvement
8: pro 17, con 5, overall +12 Craft UI Tabs
9: pro 19, con 3, overall +16 Installation UI Tabs
10: pro 19, con 3, overall +16 No UI Shades
11: pro 15, con 5, overall +10 Custom Schematics
12: pro 18, con 5, overall +13 More Forced Consumables

12. More forced consumables other then droid batteries. Examples: food/drink ,power mods for houses etc..

Yes, but not required food!

1. New Profession: Miner Class - NO (Unnecessary, based on my other answers)

2. Harvester Limitations of any kind - YES (Something this crucial to the artisan game mechanics should be governed by Certification, just like weapons are for combat classes)

3. Remote mointoring of structures though mails only - NO (The time and effort needed to run harvesters is what allowsthe Artisan-Miner to be differentfrom theArtisan-crafter)

4. Droids and/or crafted terminals that can be placed in houses to mointor structures and pay maintance etc.. - NO (The time and effort needed to run harvesters is what sets the Artisan-Miner apart from the pure Artisan)

5.More Lots based on crafting skill - YES (Needed to balance the reduction in resources from non-crafters)

6. A salvage command to allow us to salvage some of our materials back from something we crafted. - NO (XP problem... Make and item earn xp, salvage it, make another item with the recovered resource, more XP)

7. A architect crafted Forage that lets you takes metals and improve them at a cost of some kind. Require artisan crafted power mods to run. *only if there are no miners* - NO (Too many DB problems with this)

5. NO

6. NO

7. NO

8. YES

9. YES

10. YES

11. YES

12. NO

1. Yes (advanced profession, extended from surveyor, should be able to collect more resources, at lower costs)

2. Yes (some kind of certification for operating harvesters, similar to certification for weapons)

3. No (but monitoring through the datapad by creating "special" waypoints for structures would be ok)

4. Yes (this is also a viable solution (see notes in point 3), and it creates interdependencies which are good)

5. No (but the ability to rent out a lot for a given time could be cool, not as now where "renting" of lots for harvester use requires the attention of the lot-owner at every resource shift. It should cost money, though)

6. Yes (I think this could be an interesting profession, and it will create a need for junk-shops, that buy weapons and equipment beyond repair, and recycles some of the resources into the economy again.)

7. Yes

8. Yes

9. Yes

10. Yes

11. Yes
