Airport
« on: February 10, 2013, 06:17:30 pm »

Does anybody think it would be a good idea to have an airport on the outskirts of town? When I first started playing last month(after losing 3 dwarf fortresses) I was a little miffed that I could not influence the public opinion in a more direct manner(aka taking it to the MAN) By going to DC to protest , assassinate politicians , and commit liberal disobedience by shining lasers at corporate planes.

I suppose that to start off the airport can just consist of an inside terminal and two runways.(One has an unusable plane and the other has a chance of getting your liberals run over by a moving plane)
New units present:
Foreign diplomats
Airport Security
Pilots
Captains
Baggage carrier
Loot:
Airline tickets
luggage(random loot inside)
New clothing:
Airport security uniform
Pilot Uniform

The terminal has a large open area with a few unconnected locked rooms where loot is. One or two locked doors lead outside to the runways.


This would be good for an initial release I suppose.

Next version

The unusable airplane becomes a private jet, by walking out to the runway the LCS can bluff or kill the guard and unlock a door, inside there is a CONSERVATIVE safe and CONSERVATIVE businessmen.

Also some parts of the terminal have the (U)se command, there are baggage checking scanners and full body scanners that can be destroyed Because they violate LIBERAL privacy.

Next version

There are ticket booths like in apartments that sell plane trips. You can choose to declare firearms or use the disguise or security skill to sneak them by.
 Destinations:
Washington D.C
New York(Because of wall street)
Randomly generated African,South American or Asian nation.


I am not sure what exactly to put in each location but I think that actions in Washington affect all politics, actions in New York affect Business and Animals, actions in foreign countries affect foreign policy and military.

Things to do in Washington will consist of breaking into various government buildings and such. New York would allow chances to recruit all types of liberals etc and find business related memos.(Overall I am not sure that New York is that much of an interesting place. It probably cannot be implemented in this way because it is more of a rehash, but see if you can improve it.) 

Foreign visits should be the most fun and the most dangerous. In the other country you can talk to revolutionaries to join the LCS or negotiate with their leader for support(However whoever you send as a diplomat needs good stats because if they mess up due to a low persuasion, heart, intelligence or law the revolutionaries can turn on you and kill your squad etc.) The government of the country may also be CONSERVATIVE and can send officers after your members during a meeting with revolutionaries. If you cause trouble by say shooting up the hotel you stayed in, the next time you send a squad or two over they can be sent back immediately after landing, attacked or shot down while in flight(which will cause a boost in conservationism in the US) ! By helping the insurgents,revolutionaries ,etc enough they can control their country making it LIBERAL (Helping could mean giving them money from your credit card fraud or bringing over Ak47s on each flight).

It's a bit of a lofty proposition. But interesting.

And what if you could hijack a plane and crash it into a conservative building? Come on, this game was custom-made to offend already.

I assume it was about cod tendies and an austerity-caused crunch in the supply of good boy points.

Yeah I after typing that page,half way down I was beginning to realize how much code this would take. Wall Street is probably not worth it but I really liked the the Foreign country.

As for hijacking planes and ramming them into building I think it might cause a backlash unless you can find a way to make it look as if conservatives did it. It would be an epic way to get rid of CCS hideouts though. Or even crash it into one of your own hideouts as a false flag operation.( Or leave a bunch of kidnapped conservatives inside) :o

I was going to put it in but forgot after typing so much.

sounds like tons of fun, however, it most likely won't happen, it is a large project, for such a small game with such a small community
