I have an idea of making a shuttle port private. So that only members of the city may use it. Any ideas?

What a waste of a shuttle port.. lol If you want that, just live in Theed and take take the shuttles when you want, but dont kill a crafters city because you want a "Private" getaway for your buddies. If you really want it private, then city ban everyone that gets off it and then make them walk or ride back to town, that wil make people really want to come visit lol...

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. I ment an option to make a shuttle private. So it is the choice of the city.

Why would you want to make it private? The city makes money off of each ticket sold to leave the city. My guess is that you have houses popping up outside your city radius and you think they are taking advantage of your city shuttle and not paying taxes or living in the city. Am I right?

I can see that, but it would still be a waste imo. Besides not too many citits have taxes that high..so its really not an issue for most. Thats assuming that the senerio you descibed above is whats happening.

The point of a shuttleport? So customers don't have to walk to your city!! Besides, you cna jack the ticket price if you feel the outsiders should pay.

Best way to deal with the tall guys is to give them incentives to lick the ground. And dont look down on me that way youre not THAT taller.

shuttles are limitted enough as it is.. I don't see a point in "privatizing" it. If you keep your city at level for maintaining a shuttleport, (no more, no less) a whole 55 people are authorized to use it? (provided you have 55 live residents, no placeholders)


Pointless.

I like the idea of a private shuttleport. But my idea of a private shuttleport is a bit different. I think for cities that don't fit the requirements for a shuttleport(55 people) there should be a private shuttleport that only the citizens of the city can use. That way cities won't have to find 20+ n00bs to place housesin order to have a form of transportation to there city and would encourage ppl to be more creative with the placement of their cities.


Just a thought.
