Just for fun suggestion: Server command for freeing slaves

[Lonely Werewolf]

Yeah, I think it's a really cool idea. However as I'm sure you know the effort needed to implement it and sort out balancing issues would likely be far to great. But cool idea nonetheless, we can live in hope that one day we can rescue those slaves!

Whats the point?
You know... besides making yourself feel happy that you rescued some slaves?

Edit: i still get the RP side of it though. I flew on my LF Hyena and started handing out slaves as a marketing campaign of the rogues.

Not a bad idea... But could u make a code so that police and military factions can temporarly disable docking on planets, bases, jumpgates so that those law breakers can't just dock when stopped near them? That would be awsome and much more inRP...

That has been suggested before, and shot down.


It's just too possible to abuse.

So I rock up to Manhattan with my hold full of refugees, land on the planet, then promptly enslave them all and sell.

Perhaps it could be locked to IDs? Only lawful military/vigilante IDs could use the Slave->Refugee command and only (certain?) unlawfuls/slaver IDs could use the Refugee->Slave command.

It would certainly give the Slaver ID's "can demand human cargo" line more purpose. Perhaps this could be extended to the other human cargoes, VIPs and such. Of course, to preserve some semblance of balance, 1 VIP would have to equal 1 slave.

That's a thought. Perhaps the command should have a percentile efficiency, with 100% of slaves being turned into refugees, but 80% of refugees turned into slaves to represent resistance and executions/accidental deaths.

Maybe.... you can only enslave in space??

So then he just does the command 2k away from the planet, THEN lands.

I would suggest an /enslaverefugees command if it wasn't so that it would make it possible to smuggle slaves by temporarily turning them into refugees while in house space.

Though I like your idea of only lawfuls being able to free slaves and only unlawfuls being able to enslave them.
