Slaves, especially non combat slaves, but I think combat slaves too, should auto repair every time they dock... you just shouldn't have to worry about repairing them.

Termite kills one or more slave...player revives the slave(s) and issues Follow Orders... first base the slave(s) dock at repairs it/them. All bases, AI and user should be able to repair ships gear.

Combat slave is killed, player docks them and they are auto repaired.

If the player can't afford to repair their ship(s) then a DEBT is incurred and the player goes into the red until their account gets an influx of Credits.

Their should be a mechanism to allow TEAM FUNDS to be used to repair member's ships, with a daily limit set by the team's Director. The player should be asked (option boxes) if they want to use their funds or team funds to repair their personal ships. (WoW feature)

The idea of having Micro and Nano gear bits floating off a killed ship really needs to be rethought... most is lost before the player can get back into their ship anyway... just loose the concept altogether... it just add an unnecessary layer of complexity and is a major detraction from game play. You die your ship is flagged with a yellow or red flag depending on the severity of the damage to gear. You dock and click the REPAIR button. KISS

Or, add a "Repair" command, then give the slaves the some money. We wouldn't want it to be that easy

You go and give slaves some money and they get all uppity and think they're free to run outta it (ever have a trade slave going about its business with no credits?). Best is to auto draw on player's bank or team bank.

Agreed.

You dock, message window: would you like to do a full ship repair for X credits? similar for slaves.

Most of your slaves, trade and mining, never dock except at uni reset with the player.

Is much better to treat ALL slaves the same and auto repair.

Slave Repair statement could be shown in the Player Window, (The person looking icon at the bottom right.)

I thought you were referring to combat slaves.
The only way that trade and mining slaves will get damaged will be via death, which you'll either not notice, and it will spaceship itsself, or you will notice it and unstasis it, at which point you could dock it and repair it, or let it continue its job damaged. Either way, you had an opportunity to do something with it.

How about, whenever you unstasis a slave of any type, you get a repair message. But that doesn't work, because you could then use your slaves in a BvB ad infinitum, which defeats the system.

I think we need to move towards a more "digital" management for credits. Although the dropped "coins" makes SS sort of unique(not really, as it's definitely not the first game to have coins as drops from enemies), it is more of a hassle to scoop and transfer etc.

I'd like to see a system that moves away from physical interaction and more towards a digital financial system where you can buy goods remotely and send money remotely. People could put "missions" in their playerbase and load them into a digital market that charges for advertising. You could advertise trading ada for plat 2:1 at unlimited quantities, and someone could just go do a repeatable mission at your base.

As well as killing enemies does an instant transfer instead of spending 10 seconds scooping coins in a dg.

i actually like the choice not to scoop the cash, i hate that emp tithe

if you want the cash and are too lazy to scoop i think ur too lazy to scoop.

me.. i'm too lazy to scoop unless it's a boss.
