hey how bout some new rumors? Like a rumour about a planet having a lot of rumours. the planet would have a maximum rumour output (so it would include every rumor from the quadrant) as well as a very high rumour count ( so the actual number of rumours that would be given would be like 50 or so). or maybe a rumour about a bounty target. it would be different from a contract as it would be almost an underground bounty (like from a corporation), so there would be different mechanics. besides it being hard to find like other rumours and there being no rep gain because it's not official, maybe you'd have to actually look for the target via patrol as opposed to the target just showing up. or maybe you'd have to perform surveillance on the area to find the target( bonus with bh profession). or maybe you'd only get the location that the target is around, as opposed to the exact area. and you'd probably get a higher reward due to it being illegal and therefore more risky.

I think the rumor about lots of rumors could be something like "There is a rumor that Galatic Council of Officer's Wives is having their annual meeting on..."
Also, there's a typo on the plants description. "They are greatly prize(sic) for being alive..."

The art looks great! Especially the plant. Searching high and low for the new tips.  @starfixer: I like the "Rumour about rumours" idea. Perhaps the Meeting of Spice Traders rumour that spawns the pilot could have that effect? |

ncaoa - they are all text tips -- additional information about the Exodus, Dark Age of Technology, the Templars, etc. We're going to be releasing a lot more of the Quadrant history this way over the next set of releases.

I made change that will generate more rumors under EVENT_TYPE_DOCK_SPICE_TRADERS
The Spice Traders rumor generates additional Spice in the Urban Zone.
Rumors are heavily influenced by the Spice trade. I've changed the rules so that additional units of Spice are factored into the Spice factor that is used to generate the rumors.
Have to be careful at this point adding Rumors because they dilute core play rumors like Surplus and Shortage.
I'll be monitoring and testing this recent change and see if I can still find motivation to add new Rumor of Rumors.

a lot of stuff about how Templars are all powerful and rulers of the quadrant and how corporations are gigantic, control everything and are unregulated and unmatched in power. would be nice to see this concept incorporated into the game in some way (besides it being shown in rumours).
favorite new rumor: " the prince rolls his eyes and grits his teeth when the Templars arrive. might as well throw the prince's authority out of the airlock."
second favorite: "Templars call them the dark age of technology. but everyone else knows them as the golden age of science"
I like others too but those are my favorite.

Since rumors are so tightly tied to spice, then isn't the "spice is overflowing" rumor already equivalent to a Rumor about rumors?

Since rumors are so tightly tied to spice, then isn't the "spice is overflowing" rumor already equivalent to a Rumor about rumors? In the upcoming release it will be as you say and as StarFixer suggested. Previously the rule I was using increased other aspects of the Spice Trade, but not the Spice points used to determine number of Rumors. The change I did was to remove that block and now any bonus that adds Spice to the Exchange also adds Rumors. This is because Spice reduces the ability of a person to keep secrets, it always increases the rumors in an area. So now the "Rumor of Rumors" are Spice Surplus and Spice Traders, both will generate lots of Rumor bonus multiplier in the Hall and Palace. |
