...maybe someday.

I was hoping that they'd get in just because they are a NPC good used to make stuff, but no. 

(And of course the best thing ever would have been only being able to manufacture Slaves on Minmatar sov systems occupied by the Amarr Militia.  And Freed Slaves on Amarr sov systems occupied by the Minmatar Militia.  And for the Caldari-Gallente front...uh...Quafe?)

[Havohej]

Motherfuck.  I was really hoping for planet things that take other passenger items and turn them into slaves and take slaves and turn them into freed slaves.

Hopefully they introduce that stuff sooner rather than later.

[Silver Night]

Well, it looks like Tyrannis is meant to be the foundation of developments along the line, so here's hoping. I look forward to 2040, when I will be able to jack into Eve and survey my slaves laboring in the fields. 

[Casiella]

Meh, I didn't expect that quite yet. I think we're getting a few other end products, though, and I do look forward to population.

Casi's School for Exotic Dance?

[Esna Pitoojee]

I do hope so.

[Misan]

Once it releases we could always re-open that features suggestion with a "Hey guys, now that you have all this planetary infrastructure...why not do that thing with slaves?" Would probably be easier to code and and feel less thrown together than the POS mod based solution.

[Casiella]

As long as it works both ways, sure.

[Dex_Kivuli]

And for the Caldari-Gallente front...uh...Quafe?

Yeah... Convert Quafe in to Starsi, and vice versa. After all, in RL Coke and Pepsi taste identical. Oh wait!! Trolling is forbidden here! I take it back then  

I also want to be able to convert Graduate Students in to Erotic Dancers... but only in Gallente space and only after 10pm.

Edit: Serious response
I've thought about the slave-freed conversion before. I think the best (and most code friendly) way to do it is using the LP store. Make all Minmatar corps have an LP item "Freed Slave" that has "Slave" as an input. I'd even make it have some nominal negative LP cost. In other words, Minmatar corps reward you with LP for freeing slaves.

Just have the reverse for the Amarrians.

At first I was like

What CCP would need to do to get slaves and planetside interactions right is fucking mind-boggling.

They'd have to hire a guy like Tarn Adams, because sometimes you have to hit a level of complexity like Dorf Fortress gots to get real virsimilitude.

But fuck it, I'll make do with the crap they give me /o\

For those of us not in the know, could you elaborate on your Dwarf Fortress/Tarn Adams reference as related to planetary interaction or similar systems, please?

[Shaikar]

Bah.

I remember when the LP shops were introduced and CCP pacified the upset over there being no slaves/kamieras/etc being available by saying they were making POS modules to turn one into the other. That was years ago now.
