R.I.D BASE OF OPERATIONS

Well, as their is noticeably a lack of commerce in R.I.D i believe that we should try and attract crafters to our city.
I believe we can do this by having no sales tax and implementing an R>I>D mall - a central shop for us to supply our wares. With several vendors each offering a different service, for example Iwooko's resources and Kuiloo's meds, they will stimulate each other, eventually helping establish a name for other crafters coming into the mall, who accept some degree of prestige to encourage sales....

What do people think about this?

I think this is a great idea. It would put Fort Oasis on the map not as a city but as a commercial empire.

I very much like this idea, not only do we currently have Iwooko's and Kuiloos industries, but getting shops would help out town grow. Currently we have no sales tax, to help out those crafters, which we are in fact in dire need of. I feel the addition of a mall can be made by several crafters, in a guild hall building perhaps?

like the Force Market

Hmm don't know if a guild hall is entirely necessary at the moment,
I was thinking more along the lines of a large house style with each industry having their vendor, For example Kuiloo + Iwooko's industry vendors and eventually my weapons vendor (I just reached novice w/s yesterday... I'm making some baaaad weapons lol)
But as we expand and join with more crafters, then develop something similar to the force market....

Let me know what you think,

I really like Fikke's idea about the mall. Perhaps however we should name the mall something more Imperial oriented. Or will that discourage rebel customers? Do we even want rebel customers? PLEASE REPLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well seeing as we are imperial and that we are at war with rebels NO I DONT THINK WE WANT REBEL COSTOMERS helping are enemy is treason.

Yeah lol, if Rebels manage to get our products... heh, we make money. And if they dont, well forget them Rebs, they shouldnt get anything
As for the lining of large houses, yep, that would be easier and better. It would allow for sperate shops instead of em all being clumped into on building. Kuiloo, Iwooko, Mnyak, and maybe Telemchus once he goes back into business could be a part of it.

I agree with the general idea of a Mall for all our vendors.
But I will move my vendor from corellia to Fort Oasis only when a shuttleport will be available. There is not enough visitors currently in our city.

yes a shuttle port will inspire people to come and check out the city just out of curiosity

Naturally, but there needs to be inclination for people to join the city so we can get a shuttleport!!!

Also, i feel that whilst Fort Oasis has an anti-rebel stance, we should not place turrets etc around the commercial areas, to encourage business....

I agree with Mnyak!

yes you are right defend are inner sity but leave the commerce area untouched this would prevent any wanderers or no gooders from comming into the part of the city that we dont want them in

Getting holos will greatly increase the amount of people visiting Fort Oasis. And will be a good source of income. I say we plan a trip to go holo hunting.

Yeah, in the future we will have a commercial area and military section. For seperation. As for getting a shuttle port... hmm lots of work and money. We currently have 25 citizens and we need 50 for that. We are currently level 2 and plan to be at least a level 3 (35 citizens). Much cheaper and easier. It will also allow us to show up on the map, allowing for more business. We will have a shuttle port, just not soon, got lots of recruiting to do lol.
