  • You can probably get away with using DESCRIBE SELF for things like special implants and such!

  • I made a thing, for you little resource players out there. It's just a glorified REFINERY WHATMAKES / WHATFROM.

  • There are a lot of checks to prevent total monopolization and/or self-sufficiency.

    For one thing, it will cost a Shit Ton (tm) of marks just to get every single type of autofactory and refinery.

    Plus, stations have local econom…
  • Also can we get color text for datashards, like Imperian? :3
  • It's like balancing three things.

    Superstructure limits your mass. Shipsim limits your cycles. Engine limits your power (halons).

    All three use up a bit of mass, cycles, and halons. Upgrading your engine to provide more halons …
  • Achaea's mining system is basically a huge gold drain (spend gold to hire and pay salaries of miner mobs), in exchange for commodities. I've made a ton of gold (upwards of a couple million in profit) from it, as a miner, even though it's a gold drai…
  • I'd be very wary introducing a lot of mark faucets. Not counting the ready-made SF SUPPLIES, then yes, space is an overall mark drain (its faucet is incursions, which aren't enough to offset the drain of producing items). But regular bashing is a hu…
  • Questing exp has been bumped up recently (and it's really noticeable!). Variation (bashing, questing, maybe even incursion-ing) might make the grind less mind-numbing.
  • Cosmpiercers are presumably just the first of the civ-wide, space-based combat systems. I'm sure the space PK zones will expand in due time, maybe even to the point that only the station zones are actually closed to PK.
  • One solution would be to gather the data on how much an incursion brings in (in terms of marks), how much is spent (batteries, astromechs, repairkits, and time), and work from there to determine what the ideal prices of the raw materials are suppose…
  • @Fyrel If not enough people are going to go out to mine and/or produce actual items (because of low profit from those tasks), then the prices of those items (repairk…
  • Using prices in this priority:
    1. cheapest OFFER price
    2. most expensive ORDER price
    3. arbitrary value of 100,

  • Yup, and that's terrible! Imperian might have had it the worst, though. Imagine Knights with Evade! :D
  • Engineer has been my saving grace re: land bashing :3
  • But that is their purpose - to drain marks from the economy. That isn't a problem; in fact, it's supposed to be a solution to the age-old problem of MUDflation.

    The actual problem is that the largest contributor to mark generation …
  • Insurance office on Selubir/Seanan.
  • Also another thing to keep in mind: not all medium incursions are made equal. Fighting off a medium vonikin krel incursion would be very different to fighting off a medium mining drone one, just like in the easy levels.
  • Oh, no, I don't mean the way you obtain Legend Deck cards (lootbox); I just mean the way the effects are activated and charged. Sell the "cards" directly and I'd be a major fan.
  • I really like the Legend Deck concept in Achaea. They're pseudo-artifacts whose effects/powers are activated; once used up, you have to wait for them to recharge before they can be used again.

    It means that artifacts can add a certain oom…
  • this is so gloriously nerdish  <3
  • I think it would be simpler and more unique (looking at you, Lusternia) if different builds (HELP APPEARANCE) had different (but very slight) mechanical effects. 
  • The problem with that kind of thinking (disclaimer: not a Scatterhomie) is that it will translate to a small, productive, actually-contributing section of the population that keeps Scatterhome running, with a far larger disinterested and non-contrib…
  • Neeeeeeeeeeeeeerd! (I  <3 it, too)
  • (Quote) I just added in a VOID POINTZERO at the front of my bashing attacks (multistrike, freeze, swarm, eyestrike) because attempting to do it doesn't cost balance if there's already a pointzero in the room, and it almost always lasts long e…
  • JUNK VALUE: basically JUNK LIST, but only shows the one-line Total Value.
  • PATH TRACK THE LOWER REACHES OF SONG CITY works, last time I checked.

    When in doubt, use the full area name to PATH TRACK.
  • I make maybe 1k marks per hour :pleased: Engineer has been a great, great change!
  • That seems like a massive over-correction. Incursions would end up being a massive marks faucet (and I'm saying this as someone who's dependent on incursions for mark income).
  • Right now, I feel like my best option would be to move to a first world suburb where the internet is almost always stable.  :chuffed:

    edit: I've been made aware that Engineers actually have a passive heal. That seems like worlds better th…
