Very nice work, Morrigan. So many restricted areas for my Psionic-playing self, though.
Err...and I'm really sorry about the toilet....

Thanks And no worries, I'll get some recruits to clean it up.
For those of you who didn't see the news...

TROOPER NEWS!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phase one of the Trooper updates is complete and the Trooper Headquarters, located right inside the east gate of Llanfair, is now open! Riley has been promoted to Commander of the High Guard and has an office inside Headquarters. You'll need to visit him there for advancement. Also, for your shopping pleasure, a new Trooper store has opened up inside. Enjoy!

First of all, great work Morrigan and whoever else helped work on it!!
Suggestions for the headquarters:
- A wall-mounted comm unit or a secretary for those that aren't troopers attempting to reach a trooper. Could use the comm unit to 'page' whoever or ask the secretary to do it.
- A little interaction with the NPC's between troopers. Like the NPC's saluting you back if you salute them, or them saluting first.
That's all for now, more ideas will pop up I'm sure. _________________ It is better to be pissed off than pissed on. |

I don't know what all's for sale in the shop -- hell, I haven't even visited the building yet -- but I'd suggest series of cybergear sold in a Trooper-only shop. Themed and everything. Maybe even a few pieces that are more durable than normal. I would go so far as to suggest special upgrades (chips, et al) as well, but those would be so quickly sold to the public that they'd lose their specialness.
It would be neat if there were a clinic where Troopers can go to get sockets installed. Just another option to the one currently in place. Maybe even make it so that the wait isn't as long (makes sense if it's a trooper-only clinic). Possibly cheaper, too?

More suggestions. . .
- Make the uniform type clothing Trooper only. Just like with lumis silk and eolai. _________________ It is better to be pissed off than pissed on. |

There is cyberware in the Trooper shop. With pre-installed upgrades. And stuff from the cybertech like the swimming feet.
It all made me go...Er? This isn't right. What about techs? I mean, we do the installation. Our field in electronics....and they get the cyberware? It doesn't seem fair to me. It'd be like the tech shop openning up and we have trooper uniforms and headbands that increase psionic power.
Then again, Troopers have the reduced essence cost....but I've never really unstood that. Oh well. |

They get the preinstalled upgrades because, otherwise, they'd be able to buy the upgrades and sell them to the public. Not that they can't just sell the cybergear pieces themselves to the public, but it's still more than a simple upgrade.
Troopers get the reduced essence cost because they're masters of defense. Cybergear is more durable than flesh, thus more defense. I'm sure there's a better, more IC explanation, but that should suffice for the common person.

They can always buy the cyberparts and give them to the public.
And the chips are for sale, too. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Great work on the compound...the shop is nice havent really had alot of time to look everywhere but what i did see is very conducive to rping a trooper (even as little as me) The laboratory was a nice touch.
My only grief with the compound is i didn't see any weapons for sale *pout*
As for the cyberware..anyone caught using trooper sold items should have
something along the lines of using thief only merchandise in dr
the ic logic for this is duh government issued equipment!
To the techs out there feeling cheated about the tech stuff in the compound: Troopers seem to be somewhat like paladins except futuristic.
So it makes sense that the knights of the future would be more cybernetically inclined.
thank you for doin such a great job on giving us our headquarters

I don't think that troopers are government run. They just work for the government. They're rent-a-cops. This is different from Mercenaries because Mercs don't care if they break the law or not.
Meanwhile, might want to update this:
Find High Guard Riley Jecuqui, who wanders around the central area of Llanfair. <ASK RILEY ABOUT LEVEL>, and he will grant you a promotion to your next level and train you once each in all of your auto-trained skills. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

Troopers can be best equated as soldiers/military. They are government sanctioned and follow protocols the government they serve has created. For sake of gameplay, they do not have to dedicate their time to their service in the rigid form of typical military, however. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

Not a bad idea, the Tower has something like that, fly over to Titan City and check it out...er..wait hehe

Yes, I thought about doing this, and I suppose I can until PvP comes back like the lumis silk, but I really don't think that they should be Trooper only to wear. If some Trooper wants to buy their friend a uniform, let them get in trouble with their superiors or how ever else it could be RPed out.

I'm sorry if you feel that you're getting slighted in some way, but here's the whys and wherefores....Troopers have always had a connection with cyberware, that was always part of their design- to have the cybernetic soldier. The reason they have bonus to essense is that indeed they are the masters of defense and need more durable parts, but also to reflect that the gear they get is better quality, it comes from the government and the government can afford to give the Troopers the best equipment. In fact, I could even see experimental cyber or bio ware being tested on Troopers.
