Tiy on the IRC about quests, quest advancement, and the PLAN

I think in the case of griefers or trolls there should be a /jail command where it just sends them to a prison room in the shuttle.

Being able to actually hold someone hostage would be amazing to see implemented. Maybe its done with a certain type of trap or a gun even. Either way i approve

 

Well, that is something that I did not know. Learned something today.

 

keeping npcs/mobs prisoner could be awesome, capturing someone and holding them ransom to some group(like taking a leader of a bandit gang, or an informant or something from giving info to another person or group) in exchange for pixels/equipment

the hostage situation most likely isn't possible, but still a cool idea i think

 

I just think that there is no way that players would be ok with being kept in prison. Would it be the first time that something that made players angry has happened? No. But with the dev crew that this game has, literally anything is possible.

 

well i didn't mean actual players, that's why i said npcs/mobs

however, keeping a player in a prison type area for however much time isn't a bad idea imo

why you ask?

for example someone joins a server heavily into RPing or just doing whatever they like, and this new comer griefs and doesn't follow the rules and what have you: then this player could be sent to a "prison" possibly located in the host's space ship where he/she can't leave the area(the prisoner could leave the server but could only be let out of the prison if the host allows it, or has repented for their "crime(s)"

anytime the "prisoner" rejoins the server if he/she wasn't banned from it-they would be in prison still

i hadn't even thought of this til you mentioned other players being i prison, so thanks for giving me the idea: hope i cleared up any misconception about the ransom thing though in my previous post

 

Yeah, I know. Just making a point.

But for a RP server that is not a bad idea. Lol, criminal types could get captured and placed in prison if caught. Bounty hunter types would flourish.

 

indeed they can, but i don't think i'll end up slammed by one, because nobody cares enough to do so.
on the other hand they could care about the girl(s) but then i just release them.
i'm not all that evil, just lonely :/

 

i hadn't even thought about bounty hunters, a server could have a small team of people dedicated to hunting down griefers and putting them in prison

 

Calling shotgun on the Slave I.

 

What could easily be done would be kind of a request system, where if you walk up on someone while they're distracted and you have your gun out, you could send a submit request or some such. And then they would either choose AWW HELL NAH and turn around trying to shoot you, where they would be at a disadvantage due to you already aiming at them, or they could choose to raise their hands, and just follow you around till you dispose of them in some way or another.

And then they could probably pull out a gun if they wanted to catch you off guard, or if you leave them alone. I can see there being some kind of long animation for that though, for balance.

 

If the whole ransom thing works out, I will start up a kidnapping ring if anyone wants to join me. It will be great.

 

My bounty squad will hunt you down. You might recognize us.

 

You know, I can't help but think Vader and Fett would be in on my kidnapping ring. We could store them like this!

 

Nah...

 

My goal of being an amazing space gunslinger/katana wielder is coming to fruition. Now I can hold people up for ransom? Just got to watch out for that cunning space sheriff..

 

These goals are very ambitious. For better or worse this may add to the development time considerable if they haven't been working on these things for a long time.

 

Hopefully we can also keeps NPCs hostage. If there's NPC princesses, I'll live in an ice castle.
