My opinion is a hella lot more complicated but it makes sense to me... You can set it to where you can either use gold or points... Although you still have to use both you can set 3 prices....
Ex: Gouf
500pts 100g
250pts 250g
100pts 500g
Although the penalty of using more gold lowers the stats on the MS. Points are in a sense of exp, the more points means more exp. So if you take the cheap way through it and buy something with more gold than points your pretty much buying a MS without the exp of true pilot. Also you should make it to where you can never change that after you purchase it. So it keeps people from trying to throw points into it later and becoming a better pilot in that certain MS. Its like a Zero system in a sense. If you cant control it the first time youll never be capable of controling it in a sense. Its just a thought and Im trying to explain it the best I can. Anyways, yeah thats what I think. This is so those people who think its cool in just owning such a MS can do so as the true pilots can actually earn the MS and show those others how to pilot in a sense. xd

Another thing is, you should become better in a suit after using it for a time...the pilot gets used to the suit, knows how it moves and reacts and such. That was one of the thoughts behind working up a Mech Customization shop, where people can buy different upgrade, allowing people to get better over time. I dunno, anyways, thanks, that gives me something else to think on with it.

Yeah I know, its just if you did it this way you would have more activity in RP thread which we desperately need instead of just people purchasing the MS and thats it. This MAKES you earn the MS because later you cant be able to pilot i as well as someone who has experience in doing multiple of missions. Its just a though, you could still make it to where you can upgrade it later but thats how I would do it to enforce people to RP.

I like the system you have. It actually makes ppl want to rolep[lay and not join and buy and buy and then just do nothing, But maybe lower the point cost on the suits?

Matthew G4 I like the system you have. It actually makes ppl want to rolep[lay and not join and buy and buy and then just do nothing, But maybe lower the point cost on the suits? The problem with lowering the points cost is the fact that then I'd have to lower the points costs on weapons and such as well. There will be plenty of operations and such that award 50 points or so per person. I've got a few of them ready, but I'm wanting to get most people through one operation at least before I put it out there.

I don't see how it would force people to RP any more, because as it is right now, you still have to RP to get points, which are currently the bread and butter of the guild. So, in a sense it is still making you earn the MS. I see a point to what you say, but people do get better. Its a nifty idea, and I'll keep it in mind, but I'll probly wait till the other shops are done first to make any real changes to the system.

I'm going to put up one or two more UnOfficial Operations that will grant about 40-45 points soon. These will allow some of the people that got stuck in operations with people who are slow, or can't get somebody into the operation, to join another for a good points ammount with somebody else. biggrin Watch for them in the next couple days.
