Tax Limit Petition

[Blackheart-X-]

Nice one Vector-x.

It makes a hell of alot of difference to the people who post these ideas if we/they get some feedback form yourself or other admin etc.

Since I seem to be posting a lot of ideas these days I may aswell put one here too lol.  

If the tax law changes then please keep it as simple and easy to follow as possible.  The reasons for this being that players will get confused and it may not work.

Maybe something along the lines of Level 30-39 = 300k tax.
                                        40-49 = 400k tax.
                                        50-59 = 500k tax.
                                        60-69 = 600k tax.
                                        70-79 = 700k tax.
                                        80-89 = 800k tax.
                                        lvl90 = 900k tax.

The numbers dont have to be the same as this but some sort of easy formula would help. The problem I see is that if we make the tax limit too high then most players might want to be killed and lose their cargo instead of paying out millions of credits.

And please enforce the rule and make traders have a [T] tag.  This could be the one thing that truly gets rp moving in the right direction. Please take a minute and discuss this along with your other ideas.

Cheers, BH

I don't think tax limit is a good idea related to ranks. what i mean noone will be crazy to keep money on a trader. more ppl will pay "tax" for the server bank than for the pirates

on HC server there is a taxing system. i think FLAC controlled. we need it to make taxing easier and to avoid repeated tax paying within 24 hour.
make 1 payment / a day rule is needed or something like that.

Why limit the tax to once per day. A trader can trade more than once per day so a pirate should be allowed to tax more than once too.

im 100% behind the idea of yours for a level based tax system Mr Blackheart but to enforce traders to have a trader tag??? My syntax has a cargo hold of 150, i trade with that when im bored! does that mean i need a trader tag?

Id love to see the banking commands gone...but i wont hold my breath!

id love to see a cash wipe...but i wont hold my breath!

Dont you just love a good old debate about the things you hold dear  :)

I don't think that [T] tag should be obligatory, since pirates tax anyone they see fit, and [T] tag will make their search for victim much easier. I saw only once that pirates group together for taxing, but most of the time they are like any other character out there just looking for pvp, neglecting their RP.

Anyway, voted yes, but I don't think that any amount of money for taxing will do any good to number of players here, because if someone looks at server list and see 8 people on line, he probably won't log on because there isn't action there, but if there is enough players online for "critical mass" he will probably log on, so start loging on instead of making excuses, we don't really need any reason for shooting each other, after all this is pvp server.

because some peoples knows the limit and others always trying to push it too far ;p
i dont think we can get real profit, also we dont kill each other lol its just a game and RP thing ;p

[Asmodeus]

There Needs to be a limit other wise a pirate could just as well follow a trader all day and completely spoil that players game experience..

[Spacemarine_E]

yes to higher tax
yes to rank = $X
yes to limits, but not once per day
why not 1/hour or something like that?

[Blackheart-X-]

Sorry Asmo IMO this is where better RP would come in.

If you were a trader making millions of credits and were being pestered by a pirate would it not make sense to either convoy up and have strength in numbers, or you could even ask for an escort.  Hell you could even place an immediate bounty on the pirates head to get rid of him.

This is where we are going wrong and missing the chance for Role Play.

I only wanted the Traders all tagged because I think it would make it easier for pirates but I can see alot of problems with this.  To make it fair a pirate should carry the Pirate License and the Trader should have a Trader license and Bounty Hunter etctec.  No tagsand that would make it more equal.

What do you think.

40-49 100k
50-59 500k
60-69 1mil
70-80 2mil
80-90 5mil

otherwise you can't live from piracy

[Wardoo]
