hey you copied my idea...

fixed, didnt see it, glad we're on the same page.

would like yo see a base message system


so teamies building can leave messages and shoppers can ask when items my be back in stock

maybe go as far as a ss email system that sends ims to forum message area when a player is offline

I really like the "privileges" concept to allow cetain people more or less access to your bases.

1. Is there a need for more than 3 control levels? Less? 4 any non hostile, construction, management, owner. I assume management is automatically granted at officer level by default


2. Which control level should each activity belong to? Activities include
- Docking at base all non hostile
- Viewing base trading bay all
- Viewing base logs, inventory & control info management
- Viewing base colony info management
- Trading at base all
- Moving items to/from base construction
- Tossing items from base managementr
- Moving credits to/from base to construction/ from management
- Equipping/unequipping gear management
- Installing BPs construction
- Starting construction tasks construction
- Pausing/resuming construction tasks construction
- Cancelling construction tasks noone, Not needed, potentially a real problem, an accident waiting to happen
- Setting base description construction
- Changing commods traded by base, their prices, and buy/sell limits management
- Making base aggressive / non-aggressive management
- Changing base name management
- Changing base privileges owner
- Transferring base (this will always be owner only, of course)

3. Which log should each event be logged in? For the most part, activities should be logged in the log corresponding to the control level they belong to, but there might be exceptions (and "viewing" activities won't get logged at all). In addition to the above activities, a number of other events need to be entered into some log:
- Completion of construction tasks
- Worker strikes due to lack of rations
- Unequipping items due to lack of workers
- Base kills/takeovers
- Trades with colony
unequiping of core base equipment
4. Should the different logs be displayed one after another or all together (chronologically)? Currently, they are displayed one after another when you first enter the base; any subsequent events are displayed chronologically.

5. Anything I might have forgotten. Allow remote setting of permissions- say from the possessions menu or similar. It would be really convenient to be able to change things from a location remote from the base

being able to cancel construction is important, but there should be some kind of fail-safe box that pops up...i would have shot myself if i had accidentally canceled one of the panthers or rhinos that we have built.

the thing i would like to see is what several others have said a Docking Permission, like u can X on someones name and then click Docking Permission then a Window comes up with the bases u own and u select it, but to Un-do there name,just simply type in or maybe just do it all typeable, /allow"Hermes"Trevorsmetals...../disallow"Hermes"Trevorsmetals

Something like that would give me a major stiffie =)))
