Hi.


Have you ever had a harvester on a far off city? I have. Here's my scenario:


"I guess its time to go check the ol' wind harvester down in Moenia."
-Gets to the shuttleport-
-Waits 8 minutes 39 seconds-
-Gets on shuttle-
-Runs out 1000+ meters to check the status of the harvester-
-Takes out the 100 wind because the resources got shifted last night without notice-
-Apparently there is still 3 days, 10 hours left on the harvester-


I would be saving myself at least 30-60 minutes if I could check my harvesters remotely. What if it was a tool with two pieces, a tracking device you install into a slot in the harvester that reads out what resource it is mining, the concentration, amount of credits / energy deposited... How about you can also choose to change the resource on it and turn it on / off, in the event of an unfortunate shift?


Of course, maybe your maintainance bill could go up by 100-150 a day, making it only fair.


This is just my idea, I hope you feel it would help!




He knew he was as good as gone, but gone was somewhere he really didn't mind going to.
Since his shuttle had crashed, many years had passed, and the pictures of his loved ones that he drew on the walls of the cave
had finally faded.
He put out his smoke, proceeded towards the lake, repeating to himself,
everything beautiful is far away.

Well.. what about:

When architect craft a harvester they have the oppunity to add the module... so you can buy harvester with or without the module.

Originally, this was my first impression, but I changed it because I felt that architecht gets all the credits out of everyone anyway. I am in no way shooting the profession down, I'm just saying they make enough money already. I think it should be a Master Artisan item, but thats just me.


Comments?

I did'n't say it should be an architecht crafing the module. It could be an Master Artisan (but many architechts is maybe Master Artisan)
