Hi guys,
Well after stumbling upon your nice new message board here on Lugnet I now
see just how much the space RPG has progressed. And it's very delightful!
Anyways I'm on holidays at the moment but I'm keen to join in and will start
organising as soon as I get home. But I did some of that dangerous thinking
and came up with a couple of concepts:
Currency:
I think it would be nice to see some sort of galactic Credit system in use
to be traded, purchased and sold with. Ports and the like in a sector could
charge for their services, pirates could steal your cash and you could sell
ancient artefacts to collectors for big money.
But with the implementation of currency comes a lot of accounting so I was
thinking that some kind of automated banking system would need to be
emplaced. I could find out how to do some Java coding for a banking system
where each ship is given an account from which money can be transferred to
other accounts. The whole banking system could be based on one server. I
will look into this further if you like.
I may recreate the old sector62 site for use in Starship and put all of my
stuff there. Perhaps that sector could also become the home of the
Intergalactic Terran Bank....
These are just my ideas. Feel free to ignore or burn them if you wish.
Zac Soden

| (...) Indeed. Your Sector 62 was quite the inspiration! (...) On the old message board, we had spent all last autumn discussing issue like this. Currency was one of the first items we put to a vote (as was the name of the game). There were several (...) (22 years ago, 13-May-03, to lugnet.gaming.starship)
