Community Feedback: Spontaneous Events

[Garrett Jax]

Amazing ideas @Garret Jax, but take care because we have here some smarties who will try to abuse the idea... So for example, The idea of buffing a certain ore drop rate for a couple of hours, and then buffing its price at some bases so players sell at a high price... IF this is announced 24 hours before the event starts, then players will fill their ships and send them to the selling points and wait... ONCE you announce the start, then they will sell all their cargo for the new price, and gain a great advantage, then maybe go join the event...

Think about a way to prevent such things from happening, and best of luck dude, Nice stamina hahaha, You coming back to disco locked and loaded

Hey, if they are that smart, they have earned those credits ?

as long as its not something as silly as spawning a hundred nomads in front of manhattan, or other similar things, it sounds like a good way to get people to log on and hang out for a little while after the fact

if possible, try to keep track of people actually contributing instead of just giving rewards to chodes who wait until the last zeptosecond to alphastrike a pvp target for example

I’m sure I’ll stumble now and again, but throw me some ideas. I know we have some creative people here.

I dont know how much influence you got in spawning NPCs but maybe letting some little spontaneous PvE events happen, eG a wolfpack of Rogue Wolfhounds haunting the Pittsburgh Debris field attacking a DSE transport convoy. Both lawful and unlawful players could get involved and it would fit immersively. The npcs should be considered a big challenge in strenght... well atleast stronger than your usual lv 19 npcs and could maybe have some special loot... like regular codeguns, thrusters and/or some commodities... or maybe just a bounty payout handled by plugin or event overseer. Little things to go explore, maybe getting hinted where something unusually is reported but still going with the flow of immersion.

Love it, some ideas that came to mind:

• Prison liner escorts, can be done in all houses with lawfuls and unlawfuls logging to either protect or take out the liner. Maybe bump the price of (event?)prisoners so that if the liner goes down both sides can try to 'salvage' some significant profits by selling at prisons or unlawful bases.
  
• NPC invasion events, oldie but a goodie. Be it Nomad, Cultist or maybe even house forces in a border skirmish that doesn't escalate into war.
  
• A twist on the terrorist one; a suspected infected ship is heading to the location of a political target, local intelligence factions catch wind, declare it a criminal vessel and try to intercept.
  

Some spontaneous events playing into whatever story is currently doing would be nice as well, if only to keep the region populated;

• The Insurgency tries to protect evacuation ships while the Navy tries to take them down
  
• Luxery Liner Barbados gets accused of harboring Insurgency staff and must try to smuggle x amount of event commodity off the station before the event is over or risk getting caught (maybe more suited for a 'proper' event given duration)
  
• Stuff seems to be planned to go down in the Omicrons as well but little actually reflects it currently, some extra Nomad based events in Minor, or conflict between the Corsairs and Outcasts would go a long way.

I don't think that by doing that, then they earned those credits. I see that as cheating and exploiting, don't you think?
