Mmmm... calamari.... hungry now.

So if BOO was to be split into different roles, it could be something like: Band of Outlaws Security: The scarier bunch. Band of Outlaws Miners: They use explosives. Band of Outlaws Pirates: The trigger happy part of the whole outfit. Band of Outlaws Builders: Expect lots of sexual harassment. (With a whole group dedicated to doing just that...)

Before I go ahead and make a more posts, I thought I would say hi. I am looking forward to this journey to the release of DU and beyond. Also watch out for giant space squid. They will gulp us down when we least expect it. Sometimes they eat the brain first and leave the body standing around stupidly. Other times the body is snatched from very existence! They might even cause ships to fall from the sky! Beware! Side Note: To clarify, I am just another player looking to make DU an even better place, not some giant squid worshipping organization (though if anyone is interested, drop me a PM). As a player from the southern tip of Africa, I expect to be the most affected by the "giant space squids" that go by the names of Latency, Lag and DC.

To create a new safe zone, I like the idea of restoring a ruined arkship (over throwing down a token). I also like the idea that it not only takes resources to restore it but also to keep it functional e.g. by providing a boatload of power. I would expect the number of arkships per planet would be limited to one or two and never a guarantee. Though they would be easy to spot due to their size... Hmm maybe they could be buried in some cases so prospectors might inadvertently stumble onto one. "You'll never guess what I found under my farm." Expanding on the capturing idea, as long as the arkship is powered it should not be able to change hands... But if the power supply runs dry, another organization could swoop in. Just an idea.
