Andy alone can't think up of all the ideas and do all the balance checking.

i don't do much work on Era alone, it's generally Era Dev. However, the scripting on their is all done by myself and Sales so far, I'm away for the weekend [romantic getaway thing planned] so I'll be doing things on Monday whilst he's at work.
Working on a few overworld things, maybe I'll do mall so it's over and done with actually...

we need new ways of making money.

I think bounty hunting should be made public... anyone can get money for bounties that are made on people. it doesn't need it's own business with all these lame weapons

Item Assembly

Basically just have it where a player can work for a public NPC-ran business and assemble the items it sells. Instead of having it like the boring repetitive stocking system, make it so that you assemble it by matching the right keys as you put each peace together; pretty much like DDR.

To make it where players don't ***** the hell out of the businesses, have it where the business gains an X amount of materials for assembly per hour. If that particular business is full on stocks then they'd have to move on to the another public business. The public businesses are pretty much the current NPC stores such as the Electronics Shop, Hospital, "Unstick Me"'s gun shop, ect.

The stocks of the stores would be reduced by the hour so they don't overstock; or how ever the current player businesses work.

edit: wow i can't say hore?

Make a better stocking system, and a way to get your own paycheck. I've worked at Gun Point before and the business owner is an ******* that doesn't pay their employees.

yeah that's true there should be some kind of system put in place to make sure business employees get the money they have earned.

On a side note the style saver needs some work. It's completely fuked.

I knew if I brought up this idea people would overlook it and think about the business stock system.

Also, I think this is a decent idea not sure if anyone has suggested it yet, but there should be gun upgrades shop. Like i'll use my M4 for example: The shop should offer upgrades such as clip increase. Damage increase. Spread Change. Speed increase. Reload Speed. Burst Upgrade. Would this be a decent idea for era?

weird, i scripted most of this a few years ago, and still works actually

Ok so heres my idea that just popped into my head.

So to make the economy work and provide more jobs my idea is to have a weapons manufacturing plant. All the guns on era must come from there. Shops buy the guns from there and are made with materials from the mines.
The plant then delivers the guns to the shop. So it needs to employ drivers (or it can be a free lance job for ppl with cars?).

And for more funness. Maybe drivers could get robbed between delivery points and therefore need to hire protection like PPA or something.

Anyways I think bounty hunting should be made public but maybe up the fee so theres not to many bounties.

Also on the topic on robbery, Maybe gangs/parties could rob gang bases. That would encourage raids and more gang members aswell as ppl guarding there base. But it should be difficult and only doable with some of that gang online. Maybe it could require a lock picking skill or something.

Also its to expensive to buy things with event coins, like 200? win 200 events?

Also lol with the reset, it might make some ppl go to atrius if its classic by then.

Maybe have a long conveyor belt production line that the item will travel down where various tasks must be completed at various stops along the way.

-Get some nice conveyor belt/machine gfx... I want to see moving parts !
