genji88 -- if you are working with the Finnians you have seen the first of such buildings that are "restricted" and provide deeply discounted goods, special services and unique shops.

This is a couple ideas I had while posting to the encounters idea thread...
* Encounter down on their luck poor folk or orphans: leave, give them a handout, or give them a job @ X credits/day. If you give them a job/place to live, they will stay and increase your income monies at a rate of # of game-weeks with you (and leave if you can't pay them). A chance that some of the orphans may specialize into CK to help protect your zone down the line(maybe a game-year after you help them).
* A Named Baddy to harass you. RE: A Nemesis or Rival

More of a quick question.
Do you get payed more on harder levels / more difficulty ?

Here's a feature i'd like to see- scripted encounters. Someone tells you to deliver a package, people jump you trying to take it. You try to do something in corp territory, they know you're coming and are looking for you. Same goes for on the way out.

Well I mean stuff that's scripted to happen while on otherwise simple jobs. As it is you stand a fair chance of doing a crazy long distance mission just by avoiding trouble every time. There should be some pre-set encounters with people who are specifically out to stop you.

Was going to post this under encounters but thought maybe it would be better as a potential feature. Untrustworthy Taxi drivers. The kind that will take you to an secluded location to be ambushed by ganger's.
Just so as you don't become overly reliant upon them as a method of travel.

Kind of a random thought, and probably in development now the I think about it (with a low light implant). When I did SR back in the day we did a lot of night runs. Something that's been bugging about the aesthetics is the it always appears to be day out. Night would add a whole new layer of options- improved stealth, worse accuracy, special encounters, buildings only open at night etc. Mostly I say this because I always picture a dark city scape with this genre.

What if you made the passes you get work like v-chips instead of being a physical object that stays in your inventory.

I understand the work needed to have a working cycle. can we compensate somewhat by at least having access to our current light/stealth level? maybe just a meter showing the average luminosity for the map tile. I know we've all seen the Heat border...but I have noticed a few other borders, and even dialog boxes that are light blue, amongst other colors. Maybe there is no relevance to the additional borders and dialog boxes to the area light field. But it sounded cool. It would make you rethink some other other areas in the game that are darker by palette. { some are gang related colors} some aren't. |

The idea for the NBZ is similar to the Gibson world of sem-gray indoor lighting at all time.
The Zone is lit with diffuse lighting from far above in the super-structure of the Dome.
The world of Cyber Knights is one of darkness and artificial lights. As we expand the player's access to the world we imagine ... as you leave the NBZ dome, more night like tile sets will be added.
We have elected to delay building a full realistic day/night cycle into CK. The facility to support it exists, but we're saving the work for the Fantasy game, where we think it will have more impact.
That's our design idea for now at least.
