Title: Remote Control
Post by: Tzarkoth on June 19, 2008, 06:35:34 AM
Nasa can make Mars Rovers do various things.

I think in SO, being as we are so much more advanced, we should be able to access our Mining Stations remotely.

It would be awesome if we could modify production remotely.

Thus I propose a remote management interface for all system structures.

Yes, that'd be cool, only depositing/withdrawing on planets/mining facilities would have to be excluded...

Following on from this idea:

My original intention was for remote management so you could change the production.

But AFB's note, not to include withdrawing/depositing leads me to an added suggestion to this.

Remote Withdrawing/Depositing from a Planet/Structure.

We research and Build a Control Centre on one of our planets.

We can then remotely Load and unload mining facilities.

However, as Nasa has found out, orbital mechanics and interplanetary transport can get a little tricky and a few of these payloads may get lost in transit. These lost payloads can either be intercepted by aliens(other players) or explode mid flight thus reseeding the galaxy with resources..

Chance for loss would be low, like 5% or less.

EG: Tzarkoth Mining Base 1 has 10,000,000 Carbon ... I have this remotely transported back to my Planet. I luck out and it gets lost. This either eplodes, reseeding a random system, or gets converted into a Encounter that someone can do for a reward of 10,000,000 carbon. FP of Encounter would be some fraction of the owners FP.

Enjoy.

I haven't heard of a better idea in awhile  :12:

This sounds good and are you thinking just for Main or Wars too?

My suggestions are always for Wars .. :-)

I hope this is added I'm sure Sir Emi would be able to do it in less than a days worth of work.

Yeah that's a good suggestion... I'll see what I can work out  :)

Awesome.

Ok, but can we leave out remote worker deposition on the planet? It will break the point of warping enemy out of his planet.

agreed, no point in a blockade if that person can just access it through his bank account  :14:
