# Shuttle Selling / Purchasing This is a general design/idea document. If you like the idea and would like to see something like this added, feel free to give it a shot. As always, you are free to change whatever you like. ## Contents [toc] ## Summary The ability to purchase and sell shuttles for money would be really, really neat. Would be nice if regular crew members could earn up enough credits to purchase their own shuttles and then have to interact with places for getting fuel and stuff for their ships. Would also make exploration more accessible to regular crew members. ## Details - Implement a way for cargo to purchase shuttles with some cost. - The new shuttles purchased are instanced shuttle. (The variable on their docking port is set to true, this allows multiple of the same type to spawn.) - You can only purchase shuttles if the whiteship home dock is clear. - Purchased shuttles will automatically land at the whiteship dock. - Shuttles can be sold by flying to phobos (The implementation of this could be accomplished in several ways: Either add a button in the docking menu labelled sell shuttle, add a button next to initiate docking that says sell shuttle, or add in a menu page on the orbital map) - Once a shuttle is sold, all mobs on it and indestructible items are sent back to the station via a Centcom droppod. - The shuttle is deleted when sold. - Only instanced shuttles can be sold (No selling unique shuttles) - Shuttle price calculation is somewhat reasonable, shuttles take a long time to build so I guess somewhere around 10000-40000 ish? Calculate price based on amount of tiles, the type of tiles and then contents of it (Use cargo price for contents). Could also use the speed and acceleration calculations to work out speed.
