Bars - official

Post by Azool »

a list of things to for bars...discuss them plz

ship name - Buy a name for your ship to be displayed (in current sector?)

lotto - costs 1 mil per ticket....(max of x tickets per player?). Ticket is then drawn at random and that person wins the pot (20-50%? or higher?)

other gambling - black jack, slot machines, other

auction weps - auctions random weps at diff times with starting bid at least 2 times higher than reg price

Ship Name: I know people will jump on this as its already a feature of TDZK but I pesonally think its a good idea and there is nothing wrong with both games havinga feature like this, its hardly something that could be exclusive.

Lotto idea I like. No comment necessary.

Other Gambling: Blackjack sounds good, maybe poker as well, don't know about slot machines though. how hard would it be to code an internal game of poker or blackjack in? :P

Auction Weapons: I think this needs lots of thought and testing. I'd say 5x normal price. Its not like weapons are real expensive anyway.

yeah our ship names are special so its diff than TDZK ;)

Wouldnt be too hard to code a slot machine or poker into the game.

Racial weps would also not be easily available...maybe something like only 1 CBD every 5 days or something...but yes I agree it needs to be worked out /tested a lot

and only the same type of bar would share the same auction, i guess.
we can add a few of them if necessary.

smr credits on ship names is a good thing.

don't know if some1 would actually play poker at a unprotected bar.
slot machines are easy if i know how many money you get for what symbol combination.

blackjack shouldn't could be hard too. esp with inssurance. the AI doesn't have to be very good. there are rulez for it. the bank has to buy up to at least 16.
splitting cards and doubling on playerside is some logic that would blow this whole thing out of the ordinary.

i think there are simpler games like drawing a card which must be higher than the banks card. not sure how good these have to be...

Black Jack is in and looks like its working. (Of course it is 11:12 PM right now so who knows ;))

Lotto is in (you can buy tickets) and I will make it so you can win and claim if you win sometime when I get more time.

Also will add ship name for 1 SMR Credit....where should ship name be displayed tho?
