Cole Orion	Where can one hire special NPCs like Shuttle Service, Vehicle Merchant, and Shop Keeper? Thanks! ____________ Cole Orion KMC Acting Director, Maldrood Mining

Phryss	Hiring locations are all listed in the NPC rules. ____________ *I dare you to make less sense.* Are you a newbie, or do you have access to newbies?

Year 9 Day 244 13:25	Where to hire "special" NPCs
Cole Orion	Indeed they are. All three I am asking about are listed as "Not available" :-/ So, is that a mistake, are they really not available (in which case, why is a price listed?), or is it something else? Thanks! ____________ Cole Orion KMC Acting Director, Maldrood Mining

Phryss	“If no hiring location is displayed then it means that kind of NPC is automatically spawned at locations selected by the Administration and therefore is not available to hire. - NPC Rules ” Not available does indeed mean not available. The price is simply what the NPC would cost if it were available. ____________ *I dare you to make less sense.* Are you a newbie, or do you have access to newbies?

Cole Orion	Bummer :( I'm sorry -- I must have missed that paragraph. I'll post a suggestion on making that "Not Available" be a hyper-link to it. Could I implore the Administration to spawn some in Seattle on Gorgoth? It's the starting city for my faction, and when I started there it was very bleak, like a ghost-town :( I am planning to ship some NPCs there to cheer things up for novice players, but these "special" ones would be even better! Many thanks in advance, wise admin dudes! :) ____________ Cole Orion KMC Acting Director, Maldrood Mining

Wilhelm von Ismay	Won't happen, Cole. Might I suggest talking with your superiors, who've been in the game longer, before you ask for things like this? They should be more than happy to give you some guidance. ____________ Patriarch of House Ismay

Cole Orion	Well, if I ask here, my question and the reply is visible for all future SW:Combine players, new and experienced alike. They can benefit from my experience, or evidently lack thereof. As to the request being denied -- I'm not sure I understand why? I am only trying to make the first few days of the game, while they are waiting to be picked up, more interesting to new players -- surely this is a goal to be supported? Am I missing some kind of exploit or meta-game aspect? Many thanks in advance for your patience. ____________ Cole Orion KMC Acting Director, Maldrood Mining

Togan Jano	The NPCs in question all have very specific purposes. They are usually spawned in NPC cities on race home planets or NPC facilities to ensure the proper function of those facilities. If your faction controls such a race homeworld, it might be possible to have those NPCs (and their according facilities) placed in a city of that planet, however those NPCs and facilities will remain NPC-owned. If your faction's starting location is on any other planet, then there's no need to provide those NPCs, since your faction is supposed to provide the services otherwise attached to those NPCs.
