EU Corporations in Cryengine?

Dont count on it, we all know of the money grabbing tactics used by some, following the lead of Mindark...what is to stop this 6 factories or corporations getting together and making sure no one owner of a factory sells for less than 10pec per bullet?

Absolutely nothing if they control all production.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely ~ Jean Luc Picard.

Though the above is but a quote there is a good message there, the last thing you want to be doing is giving just a few people everything...the reason the economy works so well right now compared to how it could be (dont worry...I have seen worse) is because there are too many people working autominouesly and no one person can effectively control them all.

The same principle would happen if someone managed to buy all the hangars in Entropia, they could effectively hold someone very famous to ransom.

This is the reason people in real life are never allowed to control everything, though in "computer games" there are no such laws, you can do whatever the hell you like it appears.


Jen LuC Picard ain't real I'm sure someone like spidermans uncle said that doh!

Jamhot :silly:
 
Ok Ok, you got me, it was Q!!

The fact of the matter remains that the quote still stands up, it stood up in Alexander the Greats day, Ramses day, Cleopatras, Ceasars, Henry the VIIIs George Bush Jrs day...

They all got given enormous power and they simply couldn't handle it, instead using it to further their own ends rather than working for the good of the common people
 
Had this idea once, but I doubt it will be like this. Still, had been fun if it will... :)
After I looked at this thread https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/wishlist/95948-volunteer-militia-defend-our-cities.html
I thought I should finish a old wish I've had for some years, so this should be
seen as another alternative, not as something instead. :)
The thread is shortend thou' were a bit long fisrt. :D

Ingame Companies - Let them work! ;)

So, what do I mean with this? People has asked for quests,
and MA hasn't been too interested in this. Probably due to
they think EU should be as any other MMO(RPG).
So I thought, lets activate these companies, let players
have assigmnets and everyone will win on it. Companies
I'm talking about are Omegaton, Chikara and so on.
There are atm three different assigments I can see, that
we can get, first is to protect cities and other p.o.i against
different enemies. Second is for urban-pvp, and third is
for Disciples (and mentors too).
This could increase the funfactor some, and at the same time
give players different goals to achieve. So, here comes
some more info.

Basics first. These companies will have Security Divisions
that handles all dirty work. They hire mercenaries (players)
to do the really dirty work. ;)
So a player makes a contract and will work for the particular
company in different scenarios.

1.Protection services. These will defend cities against
different types of enemies. A player agree to a assignment
in a terminal, and can now start to fight. The player will
not get any loot until attack is over, or if he quit the
assigment in advance. This can be seen as a gigantic teamhunt. :D ;)
There could be a system so players get rare stuff in loot
that cant be bought elsewhere.

2.Urban pvpThe companies has officialy nothing against
each other, but unofficialy, there are fights. Once again
will the mercenaries work.
In certain urban pvp areas, we must be assigned to a company,
if not, we will not be able to enter area. This way there will
be no accidental kills, only players that are out for pvp
will be in area. When we enter a area like this, we will
see company name instead societyname (or freelancer) above
avatars. This system could allow pvp-loot, if we get loot
based on what the target has spent in their kills. There
will always be no-loots since there are always a avatar
that hasn't managed to kill any other. This could be solved
so it will not be abused. ;) I guess it could fit here:
https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/...hadesheim-pvp-area-south-city-genesis-pp.html

3.Disciple assignments. I've had the idea that we
should have mentorterminals so it will be easier for newcomers
to find a mentor. And with this, disciples will get goals,
by getting jobs. When assigned for a job, lets say you
shall kill x amount of a certain mob, you either get loot
that is only able to get when having a assignment, or the
disciple get points. Either way, when player has gathered
up the right amount, it can be traded for a certain unique
tt0 item from company. I guess it's more fun if it's based
on the loot-alternative thou'. ;)
 
and i think it'll be something like it. ull be able to join a corporation, they will be like factions competing against each other. so ull have mercenaries, prizes from ur corporations for the missions etc etc, maybe even couple times a year there will be an event to unlock a new gun that a corporation could "produce" and members of such corporation could get it cheaper than other factions? or a task to collect 1000000000 hides within a faction to make a new texture? who knows, imagination is ur limit. this still might be profitable for MA as long as decay is paid for, less casino more gameplay (but i want some of the casino in it as well). ;)
 
The fact of the matter remains that the quote still stands up, it stood up in Alexander the Greats day, Ramses day, Cleopatras, Ceasars, Henry the VIIIs George Bush Jrs day...

meh, Cleopatra and Ceasar lived at the same time so it would be strange if it didnt stand during boths times ;)
 
Those three companies, Omegaton, Chikara, and Genesis, may very well be owned by real life people, the old "Friends of MindArk".

Even the mobs could be owned by real life people ;)

lol


The mob owner: "hm... newbie sweaters..." *clicks button*
Newbie: "Hey what's that big animal... araneatrox?" *brutally and horribly mauled to death*

:scratch2: not sure if you are being serious there or not


What do you mean by friends of Mindark? Do you mean actual players can buy those corporations? woweee :eek:

mobs owned by players, hmm so instead of buying an LA you just buy a whole type of mob and tax it ....hmmm interesting where would that leave the Land owners?
 
about DOA...omg you dont have DOA

Death Ordnance Armament

I had Loudmouth (when it was going for +500-600 ped) and I remember that.

these produce weapons

DOA Loudmouth
The Loudmouth from Death Ordnance Armaments is a new line of self-perseverance PDW's, used for extreme situations at point blank range. The damage capacity is horrendous, but the accuracy over range is really poor.

DOA Foeripper (nice name)
Foeripper is made by a small engineer crew from DOA, in their spare time. The goal was to make the well-known Loudmouth a bit more versatile, especially by allowing for greater range. The Foeripper lacks some of the polish and the quality associated with the DOA weapons like. The small number of PDW's on Calypso are smuggled in by privateers via the Crystal Palace Space Station.

DOA Rockjacker
The DOA Rockjacker is a heavy-duty combat sweeper, used to clear rooms quickly of any hostiles. It was also used, with great success, by the now eradicated crack unit Machine Smashers Bravo Three-Nil. The team got wasted during a nefarious robot ambush, lead by a unit of fearful Stalker robots. Many of the Rockjackers on Calypso were lost in this battle.

DOA Strikehammer
The Death Ordnance Armament's addition to the Imperial Command Forces is this highly efficient close quarter submachine gun. It's most effective in small spaces when standard "spray-n-pray" approach is the most effective

DOA Strikehammer Improved
The leader of the elite Imperial Interphase Commandos, Lt.Cmmdr Raxxor Caaine, made a special request to the legendary armsmaker Roman Ram about a series of specialized Strikehammers. The IICom was mainly used to attack robot bulk ships in other space, and they found the Strikehammer to be a very nice weapon to mow down the hordes of robots on these carriers. the original team of just 30 troopers all survived over 22 missions before the team was retired and sent back to Earth. Some of the weapons did however end up in the backwater places of Calypso.


check info of other guns to find some history :) enjoy exploring
 
What do you mean by friends of Mindark?

You have to be an early player or read up on old days.

The "Friends of MindArk" are what it says, friends of mindark, real life companions/friends of MindArk, their personal friends.

In the old days when you withdrew from the game you didnt get the money from MindArk, I have here a letter dated 2003 from my bank saying I recieved money from "Friends of MindArk", not MindArk PE.

Aha thanks for that,

So maybe they helped finance MA at the beginning. *updates his notes on how MA economy may operate*
 
I love how the more i play EU the more i learn about weird MA acts and MA underhandedly supplying selected folks with info :D


<3 MA :D

You wont get banned for expressing your beliefs on how things MAY BE, just as MindArk wont ban me for saying "may very well be".

There's a big difference between direct conspiracy theories and believing something.

So please post about it :thumbup:

Guess he must have meant it as a joke (since no reply).
 
I live in the US so forgive me if the mention of corporations makes me spew half digested nutrio bars all over the place.

MorbidX no need to elaborate at least for me. Perception is truth until the truth displaces perception.
 
They will remove ammo from the trade terminals(maybe) and finally implement factories in Hadesheim , these will be the big purchases of 2009.

Factory owners will then be able to 'employ' people to make ammo/or whatever it they make.

You can never say never with MA but I remember some quote somewhere where Marco or Frank said that regular ammo will always be available and other "enhanced" versions might be player produced.

At on time I made a next GEN concept of the Ravenger series of mini guns and made it Sabot round capable with various types of modifiable Sabot rounds based on the idea that different rounds would be manufactured.

I think I made 6 or 7 different types of rounds.

Impact
Pyro
Ion
Seeking
Explosive
Poison
Armor piercing

I can think of many more options and with CE2 it might be more possible to make such things more do-able. It will be interesting to see what the DEV team implements and just how it will affect EU.
 
(as I am very excited today I can hint that Omegaton, Chikara, and Genesis Star will be brought back as powerful entities in this)

Maybe something new for the beginners to do other than sweat? click all day for small ammounts of PED in order to fill the TT's up with ammo etc.? That would be nice I think. Offer new players a choice of 2 or 3 options to get small ammounts of free PED. It would probably be a teadious as sweating... however, being able to switch from one job to another might break the monotony enough to keep people around for a long enough period of time that they'll decide to Depo.

Or maybe they'll put all crafting machines inside of private factories and charge a "construction tax" much like hunting and mining taxes on LA's?
 
DOA Foeripper (nice name)

all the DOAs have nice names IMO :silly2: this would be the one I would want the most though, if I went for name only...

My ingame name: Foeburner Nighthawk Delta
My ingame 'nickname', what my soc calls me: Foe

so it would be cool to have a foeripper cause of that ;)

You can never say never with MA but I remember some quote somewhere where Marco or Frank said that regular ammo will always be available and other "enhanced" versions might be player produced.

hm yeah I seem to remember something like that too...

Maybe something new for the beginners to do other than sweat?

well it is possible :) Marco said that new ways for beginners to get PED would be implemented :silly2:
 
ah and Skywalker forgot about one Corporation...Ravenger.

check V1 info to see it.

Ravenger has focused its development on rapid burst-fire assault rifles. The Ravenger Mini-Sweeper has rotating barrels, but a limited rate of fire due to a meager cooling system and recoil.
 
Would event rl corporations count?

I dont think it has been mentioned but would event items count in this discussion? Xfire, for example, has a prescence in PA and has contributed items. Would tis relationship continue?

hmmm interesting, I wouldn't have thought Xfire would have any involvement in the in game player activity corporations like doing missions for corporations but i may be wrong.
 
Didn't Xfire sponsor an event or at least the loot items given out after the event or was that just a one off when they made a deal with MA?

Plus there is that building in PA.
 
The introduction of factories as an alternate way to earn beginner peds is a nice idea. The idea of 5 or 6 factories making the same bullets is a little silly though. Makes no sense. There would be no point of differentiation except in price and maybe location/availability. What makes sense is the factories producing different kinds of bullets or whatever the products are. I think factories would be responsible for optional types of equipment, but you should always be able to still get basic ammo from TT. This ensures that hunters keep on hunting (and creating decay). I don't think MA would introduce anything that might cause a decrease in activity (at least not intentionally ;)).
 
hmmm :scratch:
Maybe these are more brand names than actual corps.

EMT(crafted)
Hedoc
Vivo (crafted)
Breer(crafted)
Emik(looted)
Svempa(crafted)
Shriek(crafted)
Korss (looted)
VAT- Voronin Avtomat Tactical (looted)
Marber(looted)

Fire Forge - interesting blurb on the MOD BGH
After a debate, the constructor Remrick Era'Nolann felt that a fast, realiable hunting rifle was something the hunting public wanted.
After a meeting with Fire Forge, Era'Nolann made a deal to produce a test run of a couple of hundred weapons, to be used on Calypso.
The design, a light fast firing hunting rifle, did attract a few customers, but Fire Forge were not pleased, and therefore stopped production after the test run was completed.
This also made sure that production quality was never improved and unfortunately several weapons in the series are flawed in certain ways.
Era'Nolann himself was very distraught by this, but began his search for a new weapon to modify.
Castorian (looted)
Camo Arms (looted)
Montgomery (Anabolic and Diabolic weapon series crafted)

Ziplex (crafted)

M&J - Angel and Nemsis armor
MarCorp - Eon Armor
Sollomate - Hunter, Shadow, Supremacy
K'Ger - Knight and Paladin
Dura Tekk - Settler

NeoPsion - MF implants

Frontier ExcaPro Ventures - small company that improved the Gensis Star excavator.
Illuminox - MOD excavator
Inventrue - Illuminox rivals produced the Adj FAP.
Roman Ram - legendary arms maker (IMP Strike, unique purifier, M71A2 Modified, ASG-3 Adj Warthog)
Ram's apprentice Anubis Geizt-M61A5 Adj
Wells & Adams Co - Adjusted Kangoo

Vexed - real business (sold real and virtual coats and jackets)
Luna Line
Malachai
Renegade Fashion
Silk Line
Spiral Street
Satin Star
Thrill Seeker
Urban Nomad
Zero Legend

Some may be just series names with no relation to the corporation but things like Castorian cross over from Enknuckles to Enblades which would make me think its a corporate name. Its like buying a Glock pistol they all carry the Glock name with different variants depending on model. I see that a lot in both looted and crafted items in EU.

Mindbuster the cunning SS officer trying to get me to trop up :D hehe jk


i mean re MA leakeage of information to certain "people" before the general populus which in the past has allowed certain "people" to gain advantage/ownership of certian things :)

and no im not joking i didnt rpely because i was asleep then at work :p
 
Sirhc thanks for the list, added that to post.


It's becoming quite a big list. Wonder if they would all be there or only the 3 Marco mentioned.

If they have so many maybe it would allow people of differing investment levels to buy at their level. Maybe MA would put restrictions on how many one player can hold.
