So aetherships are cool, and presumably you get to decide on the shape of your aethership through room layout and various descriptions. But is it enough?!

What if I want my aethership to transform in shape from a sleek fighter jet to a giant mechanical knight? Or from a perfect sphere to a giant broom wielding maid? I mean there's no reason for me to buy more than one aethership (hint hint) so why not let them transform for a little pizzaz?

Also, maybe differently shaped ships could have different functionalities, like disguising yourself as an aether beast... or... being cool.

How expensive is it to "transform your ship" with the current system?
15K per room?
Ayisdra2009-07-27 20:02:49
A room is 150k. the fulcrux is 350k.

quick edit: You can change the lay out of the manse as you want.

That's for making a new aethership... but you can currently change the title, description and layout of the aethership as much as you want. I'm just curious what the price of it is.

Creating an exit to another room is just 100 gold.
Daganev2009-07-27 20:10:43
and the title/description cost?
Ayisdra2009-07-27 20:11:22
1000 gold each.

I believe she wants a cheap way to have a number of layouts without having to pay the gold each time.
Daganev2009-07-27 20:13:35
so Jello, how many credits would you be willing to spend on a ManseTransformer artifact? 500 credits?

How many times can you transform your manse at 2100 gold per room, before you spend 500 credits worth? smile.gif

edit: Aysidra, there is another thread you should be reading tongue.gif
Ayisdra2009-07-27 20:17:52
at the lowest it is 2100. Most manses I see have rooms with more than one exit (EACH exit change cost 100).

My first guess would b Jello's ship is 10-15 rooms big. Changing that is going to get expensive if done a lot.

Artifacts are not always about direct worth, but about facilitating ease and convenience. A one-off payment is far more convenient that having to find, say, 20k gold to shell out each time you want to remould your manse.

Not to mention the actual time investment of remoulding.

What is the point of this? Neither you or anybody else could see the result, see all the rooms at once to see what the shape is. What am I missing?

You would have to create both designs for the artifact also.

Once you do that, it's just an alias to change everything.

Some people, when in someone's manse, they go from room to room to get a feel of how it looks exactly.

You can't see aetherships with the map command? sad.gif

Nope. But you can do things like this in clan files!
