Warren prison -ross 128

[trekman]

Well Ross 128 was a prison world in Elite 2. And as for Earth, it's supposedly just a big resort world for the rich.

With 400 billion stars I'm hoping there's a lot more prison colonies and other restricted places. Imagine the fun that you could have if there was a colony for the criminally insane or mass murderers or something and they escape and you have to go hunt them down. Great fun if you choose a life of a bounty hunter

Wonder if you'll need a permit for this.. same as Van Maan's Star and YZ Canis Minoris was back in the day

I think the permits will be expanded quite a bit in this version of the game. Its already been confirmed that you'll need one to enter the sol system. I would imagine that permits will be needed for the capital of the Empire as well but since there's been no official confirmation on this its just a guess on my part but it does seem a logical idea.

Off topic but a prison break mission would be quite cool. Probably not workable until a future first person expansion though.

*Runs off to DDA to see if it's in the pipeline*

Actually it could be done now via the Missions menu, based on reputation (or lack thereof) whereby the "client" has arranged for the "cargo" to break out and you are the getaway pilot.

Just like in the real world service industry differentiates itself from manufacturing in that nothing (for the most part) is actually built and sold.

Basically, major imports: food; major exports: biowaste and scrap

I believe there are still some mismatches in the system economy overrides in Beta 3, so some systems are reporting the wrong types.

There is an accessible prison system in fact: KWIKWIL

I'll race you there before the wipe

In my view a service system may refer to the fact that you need to provide a service in order to be admitted and therefore need a permit. For Sol you need the decal and for Ross it specifies a permit. Am sure that if you look under tourism, Sol will still appear along with other tourist traps that do not need a permit.
