AFAIK the planets are generated, not handmade

First of all: the video itself. I'm glad that I have an answer now for "Will there be mirroring?" and that we have a more exact starting point for the Alpha, even though it is later than I hoped. Anyway, more content = good!

So true. There is just no sense of discovery anymore. What kind of adventurers are we supposed to be if everything has been mapped and colonized already?

Might be a setup for organisation purposes, like sub-departments. For example, the TU has recently opened an org for their armed forces. They could`ve done that for every ministry, sub-group etc. It might be cluttering, but it can be a legit system if your plans are huge.

Hehe, nice reference there ^^ just started watching LH

Well, I assumed you meant that legates can kick each other or rather initiate a votekick. If you put it like this then yes, that needs to be a thing, too.

That could lead to misuse by traitors/infiltrators.

Whatever, I think

True. Maybe they can have it as an event for first year after release or something. (Without the construct eating part though.)

Best poll, I rate 5/7 and a half hamburger.

We already discussed this issue in another topic and are currently looking for a solution to the Alt spam problem.

I'm in favor of the time limit option. As I see it, people mostly abuse things like that if it's easy and instant, since they do it for fun rather than actual damage. And waiting is absolutely no fun. Restricting the right to found would mostly get rid of these problems but not of the fake spam. So, maybe implement both of these features to stop both kinds of misbehavior.

In general it's quite a nice idea. Makes me think about indoor farming, farmer skills which would allow you to gain maximum yield from those farms (to prevent farm raids and stuff. I guess people would rather buy from one farmer instead of raiding ten for the same outcome) the necessity of light and soil, the latter maybe even included in the original construction. Also, the biomes thing sounds really good, as it would encourage farmers to spread out across planets, instead of gathering in a single place. The use of crops was something I thought about for a while now. Buff foods would make little sense from a logical place, except maybe if you combine food with certain chemicals, a survival aspect is, as far as I know, not planned (correct me if I'm wrong, I have been out for a while) so the only options would be heal items or fuel.

Sollte wider Erwarten die Volcanov Corporation nicht erfolgreich sein (eigentlich erwarte ich es. Ich bin kein guter Geschäftsführer) werde ich mir das definitiv überlegen.

Damn, a shame I can't get to the US cheaply, would've liked to attend. Oh well, I have NQ as a neighbor, so to speak, maybe they'll host something in the future

April 14th. Late enough to be realistic, plus it's a Friday, so most people could start right away

I can't speak for others, but I do realize that there will be a lot of work ahead. I might have said it somewhere before, but I'll say it again: All of the plans concerning any Volcanov Corp. structures, vehicles and employee roles are pre-game roleplay for now. I will try to realize as much as possible, but also adapt to the game when it's out.

Welcome! Welcome! ​Welcome to the grand opening of the great Volcanov Trading Hub, floating in the space above the magnificent VolcTower! It provides a save haven for every merchant and paying customer in this sector. Financed by a slight tax on all trade, it consists of four floors, which house lots of wonderful facilities for every customer! Floor 1: The lowermost floor consists of the 8 landing wings, where most smaller ships are be able to land. Capital ships will have to send shuttles. These landing wings have fuel stations and repair crews on the standby, always ready to tend to your crafts while you browse the inventories of the local merchants! Floor 2: The second floor houses not only the traders, but also hangars, which can be either used to park your ship for an extended time, allowing you to set up a trade stand of your own or just get some days of rest in our tourist quarters, or showcase your prototypes to potential customers! Floor 3: The third floor has lots of room for storage, so the second floor has room for more merchants, as well as conference rooms that large corporations can rent to hold meetings, promotional events and such. Floor 4: In the uppermost floor is the control center as well as a security hub for our private forces. This floor is not open for the public, only Volcanov Employees. Our guards are specially trained to keep nosy spies away from customer databases and pirates away from your goods, so you don't have to worry about anything. Well, except maybe the quality of your products, but we're not here to judge. Now, I hope I will see many of you coming to this monument of trade, maybe even as a Volcanov Employee! - Simon Volcanov CEO of the Volcanov Corporation

That would make for a great hotel/taxi system, where you either pay to be protected while offline (you might not always be able to return to your home when you need to log off) or even be transported while offline, even with combinations of the two...

Well, I plan on building a huge office tower as my Corporation Center, possibly with a Corporation owned trading station in the space above it, complete with a repair/refuel station for all (paying) customers and hangars for either showcasing your products or simply as parking space. (The usual fees apply.) And I'll probably have to do most of it on my own, since most of my Org have actual lives to lead... losers.

Among the suppliers for the european Arkships was the Volcanov Mining and Trading Inc., a company founded by my grandfather in the wake of discovering maybe one of the largest platinum deposits in this solar system. The closer the earth drew to its death, the more immoral my father, who lead the company in the final years, became. Acquiring every speck of metal, valuable or not, from the african continent, often with the help of mercenaries, he was one of the reasons why so many died while the european upper class could enjoy their luxurious Arkship quarters. He lost every last bit of my respect as he resorted to large-scale weapon trading, equipping the Humanity Front with specially coded nukes that would target chinasian Arkships living quarters, while leaving the factories and most of the valuable metals intact, so that he could salvage them. I earned my keep on the Arkship by exposing my father, the company and all of his wrongdoings to the UN, in the hopes of preserving at least one Arkship from his greed. In the new world, I will found a new Volcanov Corporation. A better one. And I will right my fathers wrongs by never taking a side in any conflict again and always trying to do what is best for humanity.

Dunno if ya'll have seen it, but in the "Boobie and Wiener" part of the AMA, it has been stated that an object will be tagged with the name of the creator.

Same idea, just in space. A city traveling around a planet close to the surface vs. a city traveling through space. In the end, both would be possible, if enough players are behind it

The Volcanov Corporation agrees to this.
