CF 2,0 suggestion ..

head aches, lol

well, it's a nice idea.

an earlier version of crossfire had this feature
its not hard to activate it as the sources are still inside the mod
however... i first would need to find out the reason why we deactivated it

That last sentence is... interesting.

Biggest drag as a pirate....you hunt level 100 guy with 70 pods......he won't pay even a mil tax....so you fight and win....guess what you get.

Edit: DayWalker...yes I also agree the point of unmounted equipment in case of misssiles, torps etc. Lol I'd be broke in 1 day of trying to play this game^^ if we all lost all unmounted equips

hopefully it can be limited to cargo and unmounted things except ammo. Loosing all Ammo would make long lasting battles too expensive for most of the players. Loosing a full load of BS Torps would be a nightmare.

I btw. totaly agree that the loot for a pirate should be there if possible as for the police too. Would be a good RP improvement for sure.

a limitation is not possible

Insults?

Goog idea btw, this one about cargo drop for the winner.

the financial reward for a kill is a hooked feature. Thus i can have a look at this - besides the other thousands things

lol Husker

LOL you're all coding experts^^

Huor, please - no kill by licence reward, that could be abused to easily, if not covered also by the rank and worth of the Character doing the hit.

Oh it is currently considered. I mean the rank. But i tend to spice up the forumla a bit. So the rewards is not linear but rather like exponential or so. Slightly adjust the payout. Besides this cops and pirates will get their own console command - like mercs already have.

Hmm, I know the last posts were irony, but it would indeed be interesting that pirate and police have a kind of "fine" and "tax" ammount for the head of other players... like on GTA IV(Sand Nadreas, etc) game, with more stuff you destroy(as an illegal guy -> pirate), more value has your head as a fine/bounty for coppers. For police, it would be reversed, with more fines he get from killing criminals, higher the award on killing that cop by others.

So with each pirate killing a player in a different license than himself, 10% of the "automatic hook's prize" he gets by killing that player (which depends on that guy's level, thing already existing), would go on a kind of "bounty" on his head as a criminal. BUT that bounty would only be pickable by a police. And when a police kills that player, he gets the 100% of that "special bounty" to his pocket/bank, BUT 10% from that "fine/bounty"+ the "automatic prize" gets on the copper's head, and the pirate's head bounty will get back to 0. When a pirate OR smuggler kills a cop, they get the 100% of that "Special bounty" in their bank, AND 10% from that "special bounty"+the "auto prize" gets on their head, and the cop's head bounty will get to 0.

This links police/pirate and smuggler RPs, but it can also link Mercenaries(if agreed, but not needed). But, it would make pirates and police attack them for this reason.
When a Mercenary gets the bounty from somebody(the 100% of it, of course), 10 % of that bounty would also get on his head as this "special bounty", making it an illegal action, both police and pirates would have a profit on attacking this mercenary. But still, they would only take the normal bounties, and not the special ones.

10% is just an example, of course, it can be 25, 50, or more, but with higher the %, bigger the earnings on such RP acts.

This way the ammounts of money would keep increasing by 10%(or other % )... it could make people RP eachother to exhaustion xD And if people will care about these bounties on their heads, friendly PvPs would only be available in Arena and related systems(CubeArena, Coloseum) and certain clan systems, with chars that have no license(but NOT by rules).

Actually, this idea could help a lot at motivating people to RP and decrease the ammount of people "friendly" PvPing in X3043 and other places, ignoring the RP changes or when a pirate comes to tax, gets ignored, or ganged by the bunch of ppl who were friendly PvPing in the zone. What you think SWAT_OP-R8R: ?

Too much bounties on too much heads makes the game to be more confusing. Level dependent rates + a license factor eventually.

This could be an infinite source of money which is limited only for those who RP !

I think this was the best idea I had to motivate people to RP each other... try imagining the situation a bit, everyone would have a "special bounty" on their head ! When a pirate do his job, he gets rewarded, same for cops and even smugglers.
