Thread: Here's an idea for Data Terminals...

Who else besides me put a data terminal in their house just for the decorative value?


* counts hands


Anyway... why not make them useful? It would be useful to log into the data terminal in my house as see the current maintenance and power status of my havesters/generators, as well as get a list of the items that are in my house (along with amounts - useful for resources)...


Of course, if I could transfer creds to my structures from a terminal inside my house, that would be a bonus...


Imagine, a customer walks into my shop, and wants to buy a droid. I say sure, sit down at my terminal, and my factory churns out a deed for one. Useful, huh?


You get the idea. I'm sure there are many tasks a data terminal can do.

you mean to tell me that a data terminal at the moment does nothing? how about the imperial onces you can get from faction points? all useless... wth is up with that?



pass another joint around guys... can you make anything else sound like it has potential to make the game better, but be totally useless.

Well, after my "Adventures" this morning, I got another idea...


It would be nice if it showed a small radar display of the areas around my structures to see if they're being camped by those <expletive> Desert Demons... Kreetles are one thing... high-aggro marksman reds are quite another... * grumble mumble snort *

Not to say that they made it deliberately useless, but it does leave the door open for expandability. I kinda like the harvester status idea.
