+--- Thread: Disco Cargo Delivery Event Plugin Project (/showthread.php?tid=106634)
RE: Disco Cargo Delivery Event Plugin Project - oZoneRanger - 10-31-2013
Seems like a great Idea, especially for groups that like to role play convoys.

Ensure the possibility of hiding the event messages, like death messages can be hidden now, i for one only want to see death messages in the system i am in, i don't care what happenes on the other side of the galaxy. This should also be a choice.

This would make things a little more 'interesting' compared to what they have been, something to spice up the game, as well as a side event people can enjoy.
Can be RPed out, as, well.. Trader flies, pirate/bounty hunters destroy.
If it can be balanced as convoys having escorts? Not too bad.

BIG FAT YES
It is similar to something I saw on Hamburg City Server. Even there with average 20 people it worked pretty good!

I do like the sound of this; hopefully it'll give some in-game incentive to ferry some more unpopular commodities around instead of the constant Ores/Munitions etc.

While I do prefer the idea I put together from suggestions gathered in another thread and from my own opinion ( http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=106376 ), I think this here could add to the convoy action that normal trading factions did and do.
My idea is more focussed to the "casual transport action", yours more to the "convoy action".
I like both ideas, but overall, obviously, I prefer mine, hoping that it would focus the activity more for some amounts of time, while the convoy idea focuses activity more to one event, which is also fine.
So, now, after shamelessly promoting my idea again, I'd like to say that I really like your idea and think it would be great to see it ingame at some point. It would give the more organized groups, be it official factions or just non-official groups, something to do together. Though I feel like they will quickly be swarmed by pirates with that announcement going out. So, probably only a thing for factions who have also a big defense with them. :O

thats why you will know only source and destination system only + player list

Calculate the killing point of the traders in favor of the pirates.
What does this mean? Lets say the traders need to deliver nuclear incinerators from New Tokyo to Gran Canaria (for the zoner breeding stations ofc), if the pirates will kill them closer to the destination, they could sell it to local smugglers\fences for higher sums as they have less risk in the delivery (inRP).
So, we would make that as the convoy gets closer and closer to its final destination, more and more daring attempts to attack it would be made.
Also, take in the amount of the escorts/traders as a factor for the distance that is needed to travel, as a small party that will have to travel a long distance will have much less of a chance surviving than a larger one.
Anyway, this idea is awesome.
RE: Disco Cargo Delivery Event Plugin Project - Xoria - 10-31-2013
I approve.
I think this should also require a minimum player count so that they can't be run when the server population is so low that a convoy mission is essentially risk free extra credits.
