two trade badges - Arms dealer and junk dealer

Apr 07, 2009 PaKettle link
Sanford and son here we go - a badge for the sale of.... scrap metal and/or bot parts. The Junk Dealer badge for profit from the sale of 0 cost items.

And for you Merchants of Death - The arms dealer badge for profit made from the sale of armaments with a non 0 cost.

How does VO tell that you just "sold" the cargo?
Like, how to differentiate between "you got paid, and you dropped cargo" and... other stuff?

EDIT: okay... no shit. you're talking trading weps between stations. sure, I'm all for this. I was thinking you meant player to player transfers...

Only if I get Cargo Saviour.

"Merchant of Death" should be reserved for those who have made X tens of millions of credits of profit from the sale of A, B, C, D, and E types of weapons. I suggest restricting it to Sunflares, Prox Mines, Chaos Swarms, and Adv Rails--all deadly, all lucrative, and (most importantly) all heavy as lead.

The junk dealer idea is, well, junk.

Sedina (especially d14) would be a busy place...

Umm are you suggesting small and large arms badges?

No, I'm suggesting that only sales of those weapons count. They're the most deadly and the hardest to ship (good because it increases piracy opportunities). Carrying a moth full of N2s is too easy. Gauss III could go in there for fun, too.

I like this idea. There have been times when I have been bored and cleaned up after a HS or BS. I've made at least a million in scrap and quite a bit in weapons sales. A couple badges wouldn't hurt anything and it might help with the whole immersion thing. A reward for helping nations through salvage operations and the like.

This is most assuredly pirates online.
