Random Drug Seizure & Distribution Started by: FrankiePadilla on Aug 14, '15 21:24
How about an option that would randomly allow the FBN to seize your units when flying to different states or districts?
Once and a while the CA's randomly find an extra here and there but with if all confiscated drugs were randomly given to someone's CA as an extra opportunity?

Could be a cool and interesting feature to the game.

This is actually an interesting suggestion you've come up with. Certainly adds a bit of realism to the game.

 

On the other side though, I can just imagine how many people would get pissed off... But oh well XD I love this idea. Interested to see how others view this

Report Post Tip

I don't think this should be implemented. I don't pay 10 credits for a CA just to get my drugs given to someone else.

Report Post Tip
But if you were on the receiving side of comfiscated units you'd change your mind due to more money.

There's quite enough money as it is, thank you.

I don't think the original suggestion was that your CA drugs get seized Sovereign, i believe it was your personal stash that you are carrying.

Personally I like it, especially if its rare, such as the chances of a fatal wack back (like 1 in a 1000) That might not sound much, but if we have 500 players, each flying twice a day, that means there would be one drug seizure per day on average.

To develop it further:

 

The seized drugs are obviously taken by the FBN agents situated in the city you are flying out off. Therefore they should go to agents in that city. I think it should be split between 2 or 3 agents, so that no one person gets a massive windfall. I also think that the drugs should be awarded to agents that deal in that type of drug. So if I loose 20 units of Morphine, it only goes to CAs who produce Morphine in that city. No CAs producing that drug? Oh well it disappears into the aether.

I personally like the idea, as mouseycop said, it adds another level of realism to the game.

Oh well, must have misunderstood then. Still, I'm not really in favor, but I see how it can add a little more flavor and realism to the game. However, since there is already something that can get you thrown into prison during a drug deal. And I would think that my own FBN agent would protect me from my units being seized. I would say it should only happen if your CA isn't in your city.

Report Post Tip

Well that's something that could be added in, its an extra strength to your own CA, and would make sense.

Report Post Tip

One thing we have to ask is - does this add to the overall experience of the game?  I think this may just add frustration without any real benefit.

Report Post Tip

@Squishy- I feel like it would add both. But everything has it's pros and cons.

Pros:

If you are in a city and someone else flies out and gets their drugs Seized, that benefits whomever gets said drugs(or multiple people to make it more realistic.) and they now have extra drugs from their CAs to sell for extra cash.

 

Cons:

People are bound to take this the same way they take PP/Mug Stances, they'll whine and complain about how they lost drugs they had on hand when leaving a city.

The Cons are almost like the PP/Mug thing though but people need to remember (at least in my point of view) is that the game mechanics part of this game is all OOC... it's just a way to gain experience and make money for the crew you are in.

 

Like Buffy_Summers stated in her earlier response, I think she summed up what the seizes should be like quite perfectly. Because not everyone is bound to get their drugs seized EVERY Flight.
