Guest [III]RickOShea Posted December 27, 2001 Report Share Posted December 27, 2001 To establish context, I quote the appendix:"17. COMMERCIALThis caste consists of commercial personnel and operates similarly to traders but in addition are also RESPONSIBLE for the DEVELOPMENT of NEW CITIES."What exactly does this mean and how is it accomplished? I am assuming the following meanings: Responsible - accountable, and empowered Development - construction and improvement New - didn't exist before or has recently started Cities - functional habitations for sentient species.Specifically, how do I discharge my COMMERCIAL RESPONSIBILITY to DEVELOP NEW CITIES? After all, the appendix doesn't lie.... does it?...to seek out new cities and new civilisations... and SELL them stuff! ...to boldly "go" where no man has "gone" before, THE LADIES ROOM!by the way, could I interest you in a tribble?

Supreme Cmdr Posted December 27, 2001 Report Share Posted December 27, 2001 As I indicated in another discussion, I fleshed out my world, aliens, castes etc, a long time ago. Most of my ideas cannot be realized in a single game, so, most filter into subsequent series. As such, what you see above is bound for BCO, along with what I posted about explorers etc.I MAY enable the ability to build cities, bases, stations etc in XP1 - but don't count on it.[ 12-27-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [III]RickOShea Posted December 27, 2001 Report Share Posted December 27, 2001 Ok thanks a lot. At least I can stop trying to figure out how to do it for now.BCM isn't a game, it's a place to live.I appreciate all your efforts on this epic endeavor, and I'm sure most of the rest of us do also. If there's anything I can do to help the project, let me know. No promises but I'll do what I can.My little clan. [iII] Iron ivy Inc, was born in a BBS game called Tradewars 2002, way back when Tradewars was a new game and Galacticom BBSs were a big thing. How fitting that III should find a new home in BCM / BCX.I hope multiplayer will be playable in a co-op fashion with saves and resumes possible. That would make engrossing mp campaigns / roams that could fit the schedules of the players. Being able to transfer to clanmates assets and command them in the clanmate's absence would be handy too. Not wishlisting as such, just thinking out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
