Greetings, Commanders!
So with all the discussion of Crime and Punishment heating up, I've had an amazing idea to put the thrill back into "dangerous". Players should have the ability to rob the bank of zaonce, as it is the main bank for everything players store CR in. Sure, the idea may explode a lot of controversy, but the time and level of risk to rob will be extremely high. The type of bank should be similar to this:
Bank of Zaonce (huge settlement - +++++):
- Turrets as dangerous as normal space stations, without reverb cascade effects.
- 8 blast doors, requiring security data points to open.
- 16 security data points, protected by skimmers and turrets.
- 4-5 Guardian Skimmers and several smaller skimmers.
- Tresspass zone with a proximity of 3-4 km.
- 5 data points in the centre of bank, which controls an impenetrable shield protecting the vault. This will be put into a countdown like with normal scan points at settlements, except the countdown will be a lot shorter, requiring teamwork if possible.
- The vault itself, which you can scan but may take several minutes for a complete robbing of the bank.
When players successfully rob the bank, a galaxy-wide bounty will be placed on them so that they are wanted in every system they go to. The longer they stay, the higher risk more police will arrive and the higher the bounty. In addition, interdictions will be more common, and the bounty on their head will be significantly high (rather than 1 million CR cap). The downside for those effected will need to rent or purchase bank insurance so they don't lose a portion of their CR balance. Once a bank is robbed, a server message will also appear (similar to maintenance messages) saying something like "Attention: The Bank of Zaonce is being robbed!". The only limitations to robbing the bank is restricted to Open Play, as it would be abused in PG or Solo Play.
Just an idea I had regarding all the discussion about crime and punishment, as this would invite more players getting into bounty hunting and/or piracy. And quite possibly more use of multi-crew and wings.
