C# Suggestions / Re: Financial Centers
« Last post by nuclearslurpee on Today at 02:59:38 AM »
It's also worth noting that a "financial center" doesn't have to be a manufacturing industry (although the conversion from conventional does imply that, admittedly). You can also envision it as something like Wall Street where it's a large collection of corporate headquarters, funds, banks, etc. which generate significant wealth and are taxed accordingly (may not be accurate for a USA roleplay setting) to generate large amounts of wealth. Basically, the normal wealth generated per TN worker is like the income taxes, and the financial centers are taxes on the corporations that actually run the factories, etc.

Given the range of roleplay possibilities, I think it is fine to use a generic name like "Financial Center" and let the players imagine as they like.

When you jump to a Jump Point and then immediately queue a return jump followed by a move to another location, the following sequence occurs:

A message indicates that jump shock prevents further jumping.
Subsequently, no further actions take place.

This persists even after five days and several game segments. Under the current mechanics, while it is correct that the ship cannot jump back immediately due to jump shock, the subsequent orders are not cancelled.

Logic suggests that either the jump shock should cancel all subsequent orders and halt turn processing, or the game should attempt another jump at the next sub-pulse.

This one probably needs a DB. I use this sequence of orders very frequently and after the first interrupt(s) the jump shock ends and the ship transits as normal, so it's probably not easy to reproduce at all.

Well, the term is obvious even if a little clunky. Light industry implies that it would produce something more tangible than wealth.

What could explain that my MSP freighter only transfers to Earth MSP at a rate of 10 MSP per hour, and not 40 as per the component it has?

C# Suggestions / Financial Centers
« Last post by vorpal+5 on Today at 12:30:43 AM »
Something that slightly scratches me the wrong way... Financial Centers.

I would tend to think that this wealth-providing facility was named as such many years ago and it settled comfortably with such a name afterward, by force of habit more or less (that's a theory, but perhaps Steve will disagree, being the master of all and everything in Aurora).

However, would it not be better to abandon this label, as "money" is an immaterial and interchangeable asset, and opt for a more 'generalist' term?

Would it not be better to rename Financial Centers as:
- Light Industry
- Mfg. Goods Industry
- Industrial Replicators
- Cons. Goods Facility

or anything like that?

Financial Centers also imply a decent population base. Moving a financial center to a brand new world seems a bit off. I doubt a new colony would have much use for it. Now, using one of the terms above implies we are providing to the general population...

Thoughts?

Yes, I have heard of many strange phenomena. Freighters simply vanishing without a trace while making their celestial journeys and countless stories of rural hillbillies witnessing the abductions of their friends and family.

The superstitious claim that there are raiders in the aether, but I know that this is just a myth, for science tells us that there is no way to travel faster than light without traversing a jump point.
