Thread: Suggestion for a new city facility...
Excelent idea.
/sign
But it would have to have interplanetary shipping... OR... have an NPC post office location at a starport (Capital city of planet?), with the ability to access it as a planetary service (like banks).
This would make it easier to pickup. And a timer could be added like on Auctions and Store Rooms so that people don't abuse it for storage. Would also need some type of notification for people when a package is sent through the system for them.
I stole this idea from someone... sorry!! but it is a neat idea...
if the post office box is too "complex" then how about... deposit boxes!!!
a single time use (fee base another money sink) depending on the amount of item... thus if I have 3 stacks = 3000 credits... or something like that)
an architect can place a "exchange building" there is a terminal that a player can come and drop item off and then assign who can pick them up (if more than one) thus almost a personalize storage... the storage will act as a vendor that will hold it for 30 days and then remove itself and place in a "pickup" bin... cannot place any new items until pickup bin is empty (but you can have multiple "output bin" needed but cost credits)
so lets say I rent two boxes...
one box have 9 items (1 set of armor) cost me 9k credits and I can assign say PlayerA, playerB and PlayerC can pick it up.
second box 5 items (5 resouces stack of 100k unit) will be 5k credit and assign to PlayerC and PlayerZ can pick up...
once it is pickup.. the box closes itself.. need to pay another fee to open another box ![]()
Even something like 5% tax as a cash sink would be fine IMO.
Bajeezus... I haven't seen your take on this. I know there are a lot of other issues out there that need to be addressed to fix current problems before we get into new ideas, but I would be interested on your take.
Thanks!
