Camp Scouting (Server-patch)

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,782 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I have just implemented scouting from camps. A successful scout: 1. Helps the camp's local piracy rating, which helps versus NPC attacks (not yet implemented), 2. Grows the camp's fame but within a fixed cap. (Fame growth from camp-v-camp pvp combats is not capped). ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 17, 2009, 1:54 am Last edited Apr 17, 2009, 1:55 am by *sam*

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,782 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 I'll keep a close eye on camp-scouting combats for a few days, and rebalance camp-fame changes as necessary. -- if anyone can post the ID numbers of camp-scout combats they do, that'll help.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 17, 2009, 1:58 am Last edited Apr 17, 2009, 2:03 am by *sam*

Mad Mike the mad mad crushers Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Members Posts: 2,900 Joined: Aug 1, 2007 and this cap, is that cap on all scouts or cap per person? meaning if the cap is 100 points dopes that mean 100 points per player or 100 points for ALL scouts? ......................... vet wv Posted Apr 17, 2009, 2:54 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,782 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 The cap is actually a ceiling on how high a camp's fame will go through scouting. It can go higher than that thru pvp combats, league sponsorship and other ways we may dream up.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 17, 2009, 3:12 am

Mad Mike the mad mad crushers Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Members Posts: 2,900 Joined: Aug 1, 2007 already been suggested, how about a camp team sponsorship? when you join a race you can choose who you want to drive for including your own team? the cost of car is taken from the camp owner if someone other than the camp owner drives it. to entice people to drive for the camp the camp owner can put up an amount of money that the player earns PLUS the prize money from the race. this can also be for scouts. the camp owner puts up vehicles with the camp logo and players can use the vehicles in a scout to earn fame for the camp. also, a camp can sponsor a race at a particular time and put up the prize money. more races sponsored more money it costs. instead of having a sponsorship for the whole season, just have sponships of each event. ......................... vet wv Posted Apr 17, 2009, 3:20 am

*JD_Basher* Gearjammers Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Storytellers Posts: 2,728 Joined: Feb 11, 2007 Excellent point Mike..... Like he said, it was already suggested, but this addition would be a nice one for camp members AND owners. ......................... vet marshal wv cont Posted Apr 17, 2009, 4:34 am

*jimmylogan* MADHAT Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 5,605 Joined: Jun 11, 2008 Don't give up on them yet... If I still had an MM Lorry I'd do them. Mech points at camp aren't quite enough to support a lot of repairs yet, so I'm not sure how much scouting ONLY from camp is going to work...

Hmmm.  So that means that if a camp does a bunch of pvp first, and reaches that cap, then they'll get no benefit from scouting? -KD ......................... vet Posted Apr 17, 2009, 10:27 pm

The Paranoid Tourist Precipitous Treachery Darkwind Guru Slavers Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,828 Joined: Jan 12, 2007 Good point, Kime. There should probably be an allotment of points allowed for scouting from camp which rises and falls basically like Morale fame and rep do now so that there is a point in scouting from camp. For instance, you could get a max of 100 points of camp fame from scouting from camp. Whether you have 150 camp fame or 800 fame but have never scouted from camp, you could still get an additional 100 points. Unless, of course, this isn't an aspect which anyone desires to encourage. ......................... vet gateautumn gwextrav raceL1 wv e2g0,2,0 Posted Apr 17, 2009, 11:04 pm

Mad Mike the mad mad crushers Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Members Posts: 2,900 Joined: Aug 1, 2007 I have thought about that exploit too.... declare a 'war' and only fight with non skilled gangers and weak cars. No way to really stop it unless someone else notices.... we have enough workload hours to repair cars from mega scouts. in mega scouts the cars are not damaged too much. I have many mechanics working the mech shops at camp so I couldnt pull them out of the camp long enough to mega scout in ss. I can pull my characters not working the mech shops and so some big scouts.. we'll see what happens ......................... vet wv Posted Apr 18, 2009, 3:13 am

Seems like some easy exploits lurking here. No, I thought of this. The fame gains are based on the damage done to valuable assets and high-skilled gangers. If you fight with new recruits you'll probably gain no fame. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Apr 18, 2009, 7:15 pm

It just had me scouting, and scouting, and scouting. Was liek 20 minutes and no bite. I then stopped and tried again, and waited....nothing.
