Yeah that is right, what about having better spread instead then?

something I posted in another thread

Here is how I see the "Black Market" idea unfolding. It would start off with illegal arm producing factory's located deep beneath the streets of era (aka weapon making levels in the sewers) These factory's would be controlled by the gangs of era, To make fair the factory's would be released over a period of time. For example the when the first factory is released gangs would have to fight for control of it similar to that of a party house. Now after say a period of three-four days what ever gang had control of the factory for the most amount of time will then be granted that factory. This will then happen 2-3 more factory's. Now just because you get the factory on the first go round does not mean that its your gangs for ever.

Once your gang has a factory then you will have to start buying "Under the table arms parts". I figure either A. Business like Ammo Mart and B. Gun Point could start selling supplys needed for making these black market arms to the factorys. This would lead to competition between gangs and business's like Ammo Mart and Gun Point because without the parts from the two business's the gangs will not be able to produce the arms and they will loose out on business and so on and so on.

Also this will open up a "Law Enforcement" part of Era, Organizations like EFBI and Scotland Yard. Some sort of "Constitution" could be instilled stating how the production and sales of counterfeit arms and supplys are illegal and punishable by fine and/or jail time (Not real jail, only minutes and hours and surveillance). This will allow all kinds of role playing and fun times for everyone. Gangs will be able to "pay off" corrupt members of both organizations, Give faulty tips. These two organizations will be able to raid the factory's and if they succesfully raid and hold the factory for a peroid of say 24 hours then the factory is then up for grabs again by any gang who after 3 days can control it the longest.


Also pretty much each factory will have the ability to produce different guns and supplys. Also know that anything that is produced on the black market has an extremely short life, is unreliable, breaks easy, and so on.

I'm just trying to generate discussion. I want to know what you guys find important, and why.

Stay on topic or I will delete your posts.

Ehhh the things I have thought of..

Bring back Era Police, temporary 5 minute jails if your on a gang tag and get killed by a cop.. Make the Police a raidable shop, Make it almost like a gang with a little authority ya know? So if a gang gets raided by cops their fellow members can raid the Cops base and break them out.. then they can hold down the cops base.. Raiding.. for a reason?

Moveable furniture.. This can be taken 2 ways.. people could use it for laming.. Or for another idea which is blocking the safe.. Which I'll get to.

Bring in racketeering.. For NPC shops or Player ran shops.. doesn't matter.. but all the money the gang makes from it goes to their safe.. They have to defend the safe from raiding gangs who are trying to break into their stash..

I have more ideas but I'm short on time.

You can allready move furniture as it's done in outbreak to stop the zombies, but problem is each level has npcs which are the furniture and you would need to edit every gang base to move every npc.

Yeah I'm aware of that it's sort of the reason I want to do it. I believe in Old Era gang bases used to have movable furniture, I'm not clear on that though as I haven't played the oldest version of Era. However I can already see a drawback on it now, as if they create every NPC to make the furniture moveable, if it's an overload on NPC's there's already cases where gangbases are already full of lag in the middle of a raid.

none of this is really original. the ideas are so cliche. era needs something different rather than gangs raiding for cash and defending their safe..
