Port request feature and port messages

Post by backlash »

The idea is during the course of a day random ports generate a message requesting goods and service to be delivered. those responding could be rewarded by say money or a multiplier based from their distance from the port when the message went out. this would create a race for traders looking to make good cash and/or exp and also a place for hunters to converge on to hunt those attempting to satisfy the port. trader could choose to ignore respond based on their distance to the port or willingness to not take a pod. request would only be good for say 5 min or so or until satisfied.

Might be a coding nightmare, but I like this idea for a couple of reasons:

1. gives alliances another way to make money
2. gives solo players some different challenges
3. uses ports that might not be used at all due to not making enough money/exp.

I attempted to address this in the quests/missions thread. I think this would fall under that category.
