RP Cargo - xxrockstar992xx - 01-07-2010
I think the whole matter on RP cargo can go both ways. It would be actually nice if they added more tabs to buy spaceship crew, etc... but then again, You could just "pretend" its there, instead of wasting cargo space, because that is really all it is.
And yes, I do have RP Cargo.

Hmm - RP Cargo like pilots as equipment instead of Cargo?

Exactly, pilots would be basic, and then food water, etc... not sure about that.

Yes it would be nice to have a few more equipment and supply options
Equipment slots for
engines with different values for
- top speed
- acceleration
- fuel type
- fuel consumption
- co-pilot -> better ship-turn speed
- engineer -> higher top-speed or shield recharge rate
- scientist -> increased scanner range
- gunner -> increased damage output
- electronic warfare officer -> increased CM-efficiency or decreased enemy scanner range
- shield capacitor -> increased shield recharge rate
- auxiliary power core -> increased power output and recharge
- fuel tank -> increased fuel capacity but decrease cargo hold
- cargo container -> increased cargo hold
- fuel -> consumed amount depends on chosen engine
- food, oxygen, water -> consumed amount depends on size of the crew
The things mentioned above would not do so much for rp but would allow the players to adjust the stats of their ships a bit more to fit their needs.
And by giving different supply capacities to the ships things like "for long distance travel" on the infocards would finally make sense and travel ranges could become more realistic:
For examples fighters should be short range vessels that would have to dock with a station to pick up new supplies or get them from their "mother ship" (e.g. capital ship, transport they are escorting)
but well i guess i'm going off topic ...
RP Cargo - moondust - 01-07-2010
Yesterday I was flying in a low profile character of mine.
This character flys in a freighter, has a Samura ID and it's relationsship (F8) with Samura is realy fine (flashing).
I also try to play RP and therefor I thought some time ago lets take 3 crewmembers and 3 Light Arms.
So I took Alien Organisms in my hull from Planet Kurile in Sigma 19.
On my way back to Planet Junyo I met 3 Bounty Hunters or were they Freelancers, I do not remember that ...
...but anyway, they ask me to cut my engines.
After a while I thought, ok, I stop and lets RP then, lets see who can talk here.
They scanned me and told me that I have forbidden cargo with me, so could I be so friendly to drop it.
I said Samura may have Alien Organisms in it's cargohull so what "forbidden cargo" do I have then?
They said my crewmembers are forbidden... That I use them as slaves.
I didn't drop them and after a while they maybe considered also that they where not sure about the case.
Now here comes a question;
Where they right or not?
In my opinion they wheren't :nono:
Why can't I have only 3 crewmembers with me (a doctor, cargomaster and myself as the captain).
Ofcourse I could be wrong, so if I am could somebody tell me please what I did wrong.
Thank you in advance.
