Guilds

Post by Sonro »

coupla issues and questions tho I appreciate the whole guild situation is a WIP :)

firstly, I think I've joined the free traders guild, but I'm not sure. in ship inventory, it says Im not affiliated with any guild, but i have access to, and have used, guild chat. hitting f7 in station still gives me option to join free traders guild, so i dunno :?

2nd - why does it cost creds to join free traders guild??? ok, its only 10 creds, but bit of a misnomer

3rd - would it be possible to access a list of members in the same guild, or in some other way identify them in space?

once the whole guild thing is up and running properly, will happily join one of the donation based trade guilds, but it would be useful to know what the benefits of the different guild levels are (if any), other than contributing to the Whisky fund, that is :)

wip bit.. just needs the display code writing - the info is being replicated from the gal server now (the First Stage).

Its free in that it doesnt need a donation to get in it.
3rd - would it be possible to access a list of members in the same guild, or in some other way identify them in space?
On its way

Initially there wont be much.. other than the knowledge that you've joined an exclusive club of ppl who're not just a bunch of cheeky freeloaders ;]. It is the intention to expand the benefits of guild membership over time - this'd include benefits in combat & trade, and exclusive items made available only to members of each of the registered guilds.

So yeh.. consider it all about as wip as a wip thing'll get. One evening's worth of code for something i'd allocate a month or two to do if it was a task at work..
