Drug trade skill: Questions

SolusSolus
edited January 2019 in Questions and Answers
The idea of drugs as a tradeskill is what really brought me to Starmourn. In fact, Solus IC is a known dealer and even his dynasty has it as one of their specialties. 

The questions are as following:

What is the plan for drugs?

Is it going to be one time use consumables or merchandise that we can smuggle between stations and make marks off of?

Perhaps it will be like gleam with boosts to a stat while a negative to another? (I know some folks oppose this idea but it is a legitimate question)

Unlike food and clothes not everyone does drugs, how do you plan to make this a trade skill worth investing into with such a niche crowd?

That's all I have for now but feel free to express yourselves folks.

    Being able to lace your weapons in drugs would be fun. 

    Drugs doesn't particularly mean narcotics.

    Taking drugs for defences would be nice.

    Other ways of drugging up your enemies would be nice. 

    Custom drugs?

    Agreed, i was thinking about this for the past week or so... Olyvar IC is very much about the smuggling life, putting his close knit folks and himself above all else at whatever costs. Drugs/contraband is up his alley, and trying to find ways to do that. Would be cool to see highly sought after items have a black market of sorts.

    Would be a fun smuggling thing, make them like trade routes but you have to sneak them in to cosmpiercers or something where you risk life and limb to get it there.

    Maybe there can be smuggling routes and networks you can control to get periodic income, like cosmpiercers except shadier.

    Drugs?

    I don't take drugs. Losers take drugs.


    I take COMBAT STIMULANTS.

    @Pollivar isn't Pollivar like mummy level old? I feel like any kind if stimulant would kill him.

    I'm really looking forward to drugs myself, and Xiru already knows IC that he can probably buy from Solus. Just something about Solus struck him that way. ;)

    I am also curious as to when we can expect to see drug-dealing as a tradeskill, and whether or not it will be accompanied by the ability to take a second tradeskill on release. So I know whether to save my slot, or whether I can be at liberty to proceed now and take that up later.
