Year 9 Day 228 19:05	Datacards
Edward Teach	Ok maybe I'm just dumb but, I've read through the rules and I don't get datacards!?! I know a datacard is a physical item and that it holds the plans to build the items it's been loaded with. I don't get: 1. How does someone get a blank datacard or any datacard, are factions with no specific items given any blank datacards? a faction that has 1 specific ship that they can build do they get 1 datacard with unlimited builds of this item? 2. Can you assign someone a datacard with a certain number of uses (I've seen sales of 5 builds of a particular ship etc.) 3. How do you get datapads(mentions in rules that you need them to copy a datacard)? Can someone please give me a full rundown on how datards work, who hass them and how you get them etc. Much appreciated.

Ellias Aubec	Currently a lot of the datacard stuff is not fully done (ie copying datacards etc). However factions that have datacards listed in the rules have unlimited uses of them. I am unsure if they are actual physical entities, or simply like stocks and a 'virtual' item. However, factions can loan out uses of datacards to other factions. SO, there are no blank datacards around to copy others. ____________

Syn	1. You can't at the moment. 2. Yes, you can assign any number of uses if your faction has a datacard. 3. Not implemented yet. They do essentially function as virtual items; you see them in your inventory and can assign them, but they have no physical location. That is about it. They cannot be stolen or copied or anything like that at this point in time. ____________

Matthew Armada	I think this information shoulkd be taken and put into a sticky. Iv not known a LOT of this and My char's quite a bit old...Not to mention its said stuff about data card copying and blank cards since I was a new player...So this posted somewhere explaining it may be a good idea.. Just my 2 cents. ____________ Matthew 'Kamikazi' Armada My Centerpoint Market Listings - http://market.centrepointstation.com/browse.php?user=c292

Syn	It is not asked enough in here to warrant a sticky, but you might post a Website Suggestion in the appropriate forum on the message centre to recommend the rules page be updated to reflect the current implementation of this feature. ____________

Edward Teach	Thanks for your help everyone :-) 1 more quick question, can you onlly assign the use of a datacard to another faction or can you assign it to a player? Edited By: Edward Teach on Year 9 Day 229 0:57

Edward Teach	Think I just thought of the answer to above, no you can't as a single player can't build. is that right?

Hal Breden	Actually I believe datacards are assigned to factories (or shipyards), so if a player could meet the requirements to operate a factory (/shipyard) they could have a datacard assigned. Not sure what the factory requirements are. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Coleman Rendar	factory requirements i believe are just that the finished product must be able to "fit" inside the factory. So you cant go around building SSDs, Battledragons and all those other capital ships in factories (aswell as the main RM hauler freighters) Edit: E.g. If the item your building has a total volume greater than 10,000 m3, then it can't be made in a factory. Edited By: Coleman Rendar on Year 9 Day 229 2:29 ____________

Year 9 Day 230 0:15	Datacards
Syn	Yes, it says that on the rules. ____________

Coleman Rendar	You must still take into concideration BOTH the length and volume of the item. If either go above the factory's max of 80M or 10,000 m3 then it cant be built there ____________

Edward Teach	OK another question about these, if a faction has the datacard of the YV-666 can they assign as many uses as they want to numerous different people/groups and can these people/groups then all build at the same time? or does the datacard only allow 1 build at a time?

Year 9 Day 240 1:00	Datacards
Hal Breden	As many to as many. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Edward Teach	A little cryptic Hal, you mean as many can be produced as they like at one time, they can assign as many uses as they want and production of all can proceed at the same time?

Teyacapan Quetzalxochitl	All of the above. ____________ Staff consensus that avatar was inappropriately suggestive. (retards)

Edward Teach	Thanks Teyacapan, clear quick response as usual :-)

Joni Yuma	Ok, let me put this down to a level you can understand. I give 100 multi use data cards to 100 different factories. As long as there are people there to START the production, they can all go the same time. Same for 1000, 10,000, or even a Million. Though I don't think I could find a million factories to test that with. But I'm pretty sure it's true. ____________
Year 9 Day 243 20:39	Datacards
Edward Teach	Another question related to these. the rules say that the starting facilities that a faction get do not take the form of datacards and can't be made over, so a ship production faction gets a shipyard 4, does it also get a shipyard 4 datacard and is this the same for all the facilities/ships.items etc. listed on the faction creation page?
