Quite simply, what about having a postal service within Neocron. I would love to be able to send presents or items to other runners without having to leave my room.

It would be especially good for trading clans such as Phoenix on Pluto. They could sell Vehicles to anyone without the need of having to endanger themselves or excluding those who could not get to the shop.

It would also make the blackmarket forums a lot more useful as you could send payment via this service and receive the item you want to buy.

Now you would need some sort of security options, like having to have both items to have been sent before you can gain items, this then stops thieves saying i will sell you something, get the money then run.

Just a though.

Oh and stick a personal Mailbox out side people apts that you can deposit stuff but not remove.

the reasons players are called 'runners' is an old cyberpunk term. It evolved with Shadowrun and CP2020 calling the players 'shadowrunners' and 'edgerunners' respectively.

I like the idea though, give us a way to send stuff to people if they're in a different time zone, or something.

ok, why do ppl make a brainport post without looking into the brainport ans see that there is a threat (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=103375) only without a poll?

how about a merge ....

I think that Drom Caravan idea of yours in the poll is awesome. I doubt I could keep them alive for long though, some bastards will probably sex them to death. :(

What is the point of playing Neocron then?

Will people sit in their apts, get all their parts by mail, cst stuff, then send it out? What is the point of even having a gameworld if thats all they do?

Why don't we also add point/click/wait combat as well? With an autopilot which leads you to runners of hostile factions?

Me - no like idea........

I really hate that kind of thinking. Someone mentions an idea then someone else blows it out of proportion.

It was an idea, it isn't written in stone. Of course it needs to be expanded on and implemented in a proper way.
eg./ Limit per day of items.
Only certain items(No parts)

It would be no different than the new Player shops that are to be brought in with DoY.

Sit in your Apt all day building then set your player shop up and bugger off out or to work or something.

Having a mail system won't keep people in their Apts all the time, i mean i doubt anyone wants to RolePlay a hermit :-\ And you will still have to go and hunt to gain items and cash.
