Hi all, returning for a small handful of questions that have come up in my game, so far it's been going pretty well, though the players decided they didn't want to deal with the Sol sh**-pile, and just go world jumping. They've got a sub-mega corporation that backed them till a suitable base world was found, where the corp set up a permanent facility, and the players are allowed to travel from Sol to the base with regular shipments, and can use the far side gate for their own expeditions, no more then 10% of each day. Any worlds discovered fall under a shared ownership with the sponsor company. Pretty good setup for both sides to make a profit. Yeah, corp is being a bit nicer then most are written, but I don't think that's a problem. (One of the players STILL bitches about being 'screwed by the contract', simply because the corp dares to make a profit off it...) Anyways, questions that came up was: 1: Can a player spend moxie for another player? My guess is no but worth asking... 2: Can players pool rep for higher level favors? Would doing so put cooldowns on all of them at the level they reached by pooling, or at the level they each invested into it? Again, my gut says probably not, but I promised my players I'd get a definite answer for them. Lastly, and this ones bigger. How would purchasing objects work in a New Economy exactly? Say a player wants to buy a gun. They don't have blueprints. As I understand, they would: 1: do a Networking check to find information on a distributor 2: do another networking check, for a favor to get a gun (or blueprint). Favor level equal to about the same as borrowing the guns cost in credits? AKA, an Expensive gun would be a level 5 favor, a Low gun would be level 2 favor? 3: If they only got the blueprints, use a curnucopia machine to print the object. How do people handle the resource requirements to do so, either player owned curnocopia or public? Should players have stuff like "1,000cr worth of steel, 100cr worth of uranium" noted down somewhere, with me declaring they need so much cr of various metals to make a gun or synth or whatever? That seems kinda complicated... Does this process change any for acquiring a morph? What about backup insurance? My player wants to get a custom designed creepy bot. Again I assume everything would be the same, just a higher favor level for the distributor designing it custom? Pirated blue prints (or open source) exist, so a player could just grab those blueprints from anywhere anyways, without even bothering with the networking checks? Then just walk to the nearest printer and print it? As an aside, my player recently came up with mixing together splash seeker missiles, and smart-cloths, to create instant bandages. The only drawback I could find, was that the nanites in splash missiles are in standby, and not connected to a hive, so can't be programmed to apply bandages to specific areas. But I'm sure the players will come up with some way around that. (The delivery system itself is a minor hive, that is linked with the players mesh before launch, and can therefore be quickly set to bandage specific areas, etc). Then again, I'm not sure how much good bandages would even do. On the other hand, it seems like you could use repair spray like this to fix synths during battle.... I don't think I saw any medspray though, beyond the healing vats.
