Hi Plinka

I posted this on the architect forum and although he liked the ideas he wasnt keen to push them to the developers at the moment so Im asking you to do it.

Heres a straight copy paste from that forum:

------------------------------------------------------

Hi ArchAngel,

Yes it was a joke but a serious one. hehe

You should ask them to make the final build MEAN something if you use the best resources you can.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Shuttle Ports: Every Point of experimentation = 1 minute off wait time for shuttle so if you get all 10 experimentation points it becomes instant travel like theed.

Banks: Every Point of experimentation = 10 more items stoerd in Safety depositso if you get all 10 experimentation points it becomes 200 stoerd items instead of the normal 100.

Cantina and Medcenter : Each point takes 1 second off the time it takes to do the next heal or reduces action/mind needed buy (x) amount.

Seeing as these are architect items we need to make everything we do count if we want repeat business on these items other wise once they are made its all over. At least if experimentation worked on them people may upgrade to a more expenssive shuttle port later.

Now is the time to bring these ideas up. Once they go live they wont change them for months because they will see it as job done lets move on to other things.

-----------------------

and it follows on with this post:

-------------------------

But seriously Player cities need a reason to make people not just put houses there but hang around in them. If docs and entertainers had a reason to stay in the city and use its facilities then players would go to them to get healed. Other wise these docs and ent may as well stay in NPC cities becuase they are guaranteed customers.

People need a reason to migrate to the player cities ideas like these would help that take place.

----------------------------

and now I would add this:

-----------------------------

It might be an idea to have the bunuses only for player past the Novice skill so players who are Novice entertainers get nothing from player cities however once they graduate to Novice Musician or Novice Dancer or whatever they can then MIGRATE to a player city to recieve the bonuses of applying their chosen trade there.

This would give some ballance where the game would still have entertainers and docs in the current NPC cities but if your looking for someone closer to Master to tend your heavy wounds then a player city is the place to go and its only a shuttle away.

Hmm maybe this should also go on the Discussion board since it would effect other professions. I dont know if somebody wants to copy paste it over feel free.

Yeah, I think that this would be a good idea, but I dont see it coming for a very long time. Look how long its been since the release of the game that they gave us harvestors where experimentation and materials actually affect the rate at which they harvest.
