Herro Report post Posted July 31, 2001 Hey, I was reading over the GCO faq and I have a few questions...-In GCO, when I die "you will lose everything that you are carrying at the time" but do we get like a stash or a "bank" where we can keep some of our items safe, and wont lose em if I die?And also since Im going to be Gam in GCO, does that mean i'll have an instant "bad" reputation on the reputation system?

Cmdr Nova Report post Posted July 31, 2001 I think the reputation system shouldn't do that, considering other Gams should be around by GCO's release. The reputation system should be based on your performance, and if you pick on newbs or not. I may or may not be correct, so SC should chime in a bit.That's a good way to discourage PKing all the newbies, just like in Diablo 2, and many other MMOG's.

Eclipse Report post Posted July 31, 2001 I think it might be that while you have a very good reputation with Gamms and their allies, you would have a very poor reputation with Insurgents/Galcom and their allies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Epsilon 5 Report post Posted July 31, 2001 Reputation will surely go with the alliances... I could have a very good repution among the gal/mil people, but I'm not sure I will be invited to Darien's bday party In fact, the more some like you, the more some hate you.

Herro Report post Posted August 1, 2001 Ok, that covers the Reputation system... but what about a stash?As quoted before, when we die in GCO, everything thats on us will be lost, so shouldn't we have something like a bank where we can keep our valuables safe?just a thought...

Guest Report post Posted August 1, 2001 Herro,If I understand correctly, if you die in GCO, YOU DIE, and ALL your assets go with you. You must start over, I may be wrong, but I seem to remember the SC saying something along these lines a while ago. Ooh, what happens to your battlecruiser or main asset if you die in first person mode on a planet or in a fighter or something? Hmm, does the ship just disapear, or does it continue as an NPC?

rhett Report post Posted August 1, 2001 Not true (according to the FAQ). If you die, you will lose only whats on you. However, there will be a death limit and once you cross it, you must start over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joel Schultz Report post Posted August 1, 2001 quote:there will be a death limit and once you cross itHeh, imagine a Galcom Academy (or its Insurgent equivalent, or other similar facility) graduation commencement speech:[rp] Men and women, before accepting your assignment there's something you should know. We have cloning technology. If you die, you can be brought back.But getting dead is expensive: we have to bring you back and find new assets to replace what your stupidity got slagged. Doing that several times over is very expensive.So before you decide to get dead, you should seriously ask yourself this: "will we want to bring you back?"

Supreme Cmdr Report post Posted August 1, 2001 I have a very unique perspective as to how death is handled in GCO. I have no plans to reveal them until the game goes into Beta testing, early next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

demolition Report post Posted August 6, 2001 When GCO goes into Beta testing you count me in as one of the external Beta testersI love BC3K and whats being done with itThis is one of the few series that i have found, every new game to the series is just as good or better then the originalThanx for the good games SCP.S when do we get a GCO thread so we can put messages in there rather then in the BCM message treads?[ 08-06-2001: Message edited by: demolition ] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Epsilon 5 Report post Posted August 6, 2001 A GCO section you mean?I suppose when BCM will be out there will be one for GCO, because the game will be officially "under construction". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico Jansen Report post Posted August 9, 2001 Since GCO will be a persistant universe, I don't see why you can't have your own treasure cave on a distant far-away planet, moon or asteroid and drop things there. You just have to make sure nobody is following you.*walks around in his birthtown* [ 08-09-2001: Message edited by: Rico Jansen ] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
