Here’s what I have planned: There will be two new types of possessions going into the game: Structures and Vessels. I’ll explain with some basic examples.

Storage Shed: This glamorous Structure can be purchased in most towns for a couple of hundred gold. It has room for about 20 items. It comes with a lock, so only you can access it; but you can only access it in the town you purchased it in.

Gravi-Cart: This little Vessel has a set of gravity-coil boosters on the bottom of it that let’s it glide along just above the ground, making it easy to push or pull with you over any terrain. It costs quite a bit more than the Storage Shed, but it’s 100% mobile. It can hold about 12 items.

These two examples will be the first Structure and Vessel available. Later on, larger, more expensive Structures and Vessels will become available. Not only do these “containers” give you more room to carry items, they will probably help a great deal with inventory management. I think that probably the way it will work is that you can purchase as many Structures as you want (in any towns you want), but you’ll be limited to one Vessel at a time (since Vessels require your characters to push them along/drive them/pilot them/etc). When you buy a new Vessel, you’ll have to trade in the old one.

That idea is awesome!!! I never even thought about that. Your own little plot of land that you would have to buy to put the structures on would be a great idea too. That way you could maybe buy parking allowing a person to have more than one vessel; dependant upon how large a parking space/garage you have. That would allow you to have multiple purposes for different vessels.

For example: You have spoken (typed) of a vessel that would basically act as a wagon. What if there were vessels that would add, say, an extra 10% on Action Points; or Hit points. That party would have the benefit of the 10%, but wouldn’t have the carrying capacity the “wagon” would have.

A couple of ideas; I figure that’s why you want the feedback. :D

I like the idea of the parking space to own more than one vessel, but you should be required to purchase the second vessel in the same town as your parking space – it seems reasonable that for short distances, a party of four could manage two vehicles, as long as they’re travelling in a relatively safe area such as a city or town.

I think there should be vehicles used for battle (that are piloted by a charecter thus keeping your party at 4). That you can customize with different vehicle weapons and vehicle armor which is way better than people armor. Vehicles would either have 0 defense or something like a point defense system (which i think is a bit farfetched with this being a midevil war game). And different speed (based on the vehicle rather than armor). There could also be multiple character vehicles with spots (such as gunner etc.)that are like the midevil version of tanks.
