Stealing enemy ships/designs

[strike23]

Should it be possible? If so for which factions, and how would it be done?

[Isamu]

it would probably be for rebels and it would be similar to advancing your ship designs

[Dr. Knickers]

That's already how the Rebels gain tech levels

[Corey]

As for stealing ship designs....

Short: Why?

Long: Why would you pay thousands of credits (We wouldn't make it cheap) to get the ability to make a ship that would cost more than one of your own ships that could either stand up to or beat it?

Let's take a look at the options:
Rebels can buy a Dauntless for 20,000 credits from Sullust.
Or.
Rebels can capture Kuat, pay 30,000 for the ISD designs and then pay 25,000 per ISD*, with a limit of four.


Cost summary
Four ISDs come to: 30,000+25,000(4)=130,000
Four Dauntless Cruisers come to: 80,000

I'd go with the Dauntless.


*Note that Rebels have to pay a significantly larger amount for most ships than either the Empire of Empire of the Hand would.

[Isamu]

is it hard to do? because if people were rich enough, they might want to.

[Corey]

That doesn't take away from the fact that it is completely pointless and provides a lot of extra work for the mod team

[strike23]

its not worth the extra work for the mod team but it would be sorta cool.

[Meyer]

yeah. no point doing it. and the team is already doing lots of work. why add it?

[Isamu]

it is pretty much useless for me

[vadereclipse]

it is pretty much useless for me

do you have your own opinion or not?

[Scarecrow63]

good question

[aNaRcHiSt44]

it is pretty much useless for me

do you have your own opinion or not?

I don't understand......If you mean that he is copying from others opinions; how can you prove it? That comment in itself is so degenerative on your behalf and makes you look like a hate-driven bigot-brained fool. How can you physically prove that he did not make up his own opinion? This seems more of a personal vendetta to me to strike back at Isamu.

As for the idea itself, I digress. I really do not care for the idea, and it does see slightly pointless, but you did bring up a very interesting topic strike23; I rather enjoyed considering it and weighing the options, but realistically, you can't just keep adding stuff that wouldn't make much difference to the mod-team's to-consider list, or perhaps even to-do list if you strive hard enough to force them to obey your whims......

[vadereclipse]

seeing that he went from yes they should be in. to no they shouldn't, and back to yes, and now, back to no. that's enough reason.

[Scarecrow63]

and he does it repeatedly in other topics, so it doesnt make him look a fool, it makes you, Anarchist, look like an insulting punk.

[Enlil]

Some people are just easily swayed and others just happen to be on the border of one way or another and they step back and forth. 

[Isamu]

what does that have to do with this topic?

[Slornie]

Nothing specifically.

I think, however, that Arbiter summed up the topic rather well in his earlier post:

That doesn't take away from the fact that it is completely pointless and provides a lot of extra work for the mod team

Which would suggest to me that the chances of this being included in the mod are slim to non-existent.

Locked.
