    Lightbulb A few scattered ideas to improve the game

    How about Pet Stores? (the old MUDs used to have these)
    You could go in an buy a mechdog or trained reet, etc. These pets would act much like existing pets or charmed animals, only they would last until dead, released, or until you log (or stick them in your apartment maybe?) I wouldnt mind taking the time to "kennel" up my pet in my apartment before I logged. (as long as LDs didnt cause the pet to leave). Maybe there could be higher level pets (ie Gargantuas or something) that would (other then costing more) require maybe a higher psychology or some such skill to be able to use (representing your ability to train them).

    How about a device that changes the skin on your coat (if you wear one). This would not add custom skins, but would let you change the skin to ones already in the game. (ie each time you click the device it changes the skin on the coat) So you could have a primus coat or ICC coat that looks like a aquan or lava miir. (a little bit of customizing goes a long way)

    The ability to label packbacks, Or at least add some text in their description. (ie when you look at the item info you see the comment) Limit it to 30 character or some such. This could be applied to other items as well. Would also be nice to see a label in the items that someone makes that notes the creater. So if character XXX makes a piece of armor, it should have that in its description.

    Casinos, add these to some of the nightclubs and/or open new ones. Rubi-ka is majority a mining community, and if you look at a number of the mining towns of the gold rush (wich the notum rush of rubi-ka is akin to) there were casinos everywhere. It would be great to be able to go in and wager creds on solt machine or some such, with a chance to win big, or loose big 8)

    Loan sharks...er money lenders 8P, you take out a loan for x cr, then you owe x cr + x cr in intrerest when the loan time is up. (Though I realize this will prob never be put in since it could be exploited, I am sure some form of it could possibly put in that would be relatively safe) anyway it would be interesting, esp if say you dont pay it back, if missions would could be generated that would offer a bounty for your XP finger. (could limit the ability to take out a loan to those of lv75 and above, and the missions offered in the lenders shop, or another shop where a bondsman offers the bountys). Again I know this one is a long shot but would be a blast.

    Player controled stores/shops. place shops or vendor stands in that a player could buy then use, when used the stand would be static (until the player that ownes it closes it, could set it up sim to the trader mc, so a character running a store can only run the store, ie no moving, combat, casting, etc.) However the item would act like a pack, a character could then move items from his inventory into the shop and set prices, others could then come up, opent the shop to see what is in it and buy the items.

    A change in armor production.
    1) Increase the spawn of the pppe so that they are availible to more people. (at this point only a few are there, and the MRB may as well only come in 1 ql, since no one buys and makes multiple MRBs for dif QL armors, rather they hold till they can find one that lets them make every ql, so that they dont waste the single PPPE they were blessed to find.)
    2) To keep certain armor types rare (as seems to be the intention of the extremely rare pppe), make the material for them rare. This is more logical then making the tool rare.
    3) In addtition to the rare material for the rare armor types, add common material and the ability to make the existing armors in the game. No modifications, just the ability to make them. Here is a list of possible combinations:
    *carbonplates + cut hotstone+etching+MRB=heated plasteel
    *carbonplates + cut coldstone+etching+MRB=chilled plasteel
    *carbonplates + cut ember+etching+MRB=desert armor
    *leather + nanowire + " = nano armor
    *leather + robotparts + plasma + " = biomech.
    etc.

    Repairable items that we find now that are broken. ( ie the failed ring of flying) would be great to be able to fix these through tradeskills and then wear them to fly. (would be like equiping a yalm, only without the change in form)

    well thats it for now, will add more when they come to mind, would like to hear your thoughts and other ideas.

    I think it would be great to be able to purchase a "Robo-Dog" or something, and have it act like a MP or Eng pet. I also really like the "kennel" idea for apartments. That might actually make them useful for something. Good thinking on that one.
    That's my two credits....
