If you have to space your cargo hold in the PU to avoid being boarded, will you be able to leave some kind of booby trap, like an explosive device or tracker hidden in the cargo?Or maybe even an ink bomb like they use at the bank (That would be pretty funny). Something to make the pirates think twice?asked by Terra "Titan" Opticon
TL;DRChris Roberts says nothing should stop players from hiding an explosive or tracker in cargo, mentions higher-tier containers with identification that makes stolen ones harder to sell, and expects pirate counters.
That's a good question. I think there will be no reason why you wouldn't be able to have something on your cargo that could be an explosive device. Part of your cargo could be a bomb that you could remotely detonate. Or you could even have a tracker hidden in the cargo.I think I mentioned on a previous 10 for the Chairman that we were working on the cargo system. One of the concepts was higher tier cargo containers could have sort of low-jack identification on it, whereas most of the basic ones don't. If you have one of those, if you gain one of those illicitly, it's much harder for you to sell one of those.So I think we're definitely thinking of things to do that, and then of course there would be the counters for the pirates, because it's always fun to have this back and forth as far as that goes.
