Proposal: Base Camps

Reached quorum 5 votes to 1. Enacted by Kevan.

Create a rule named “Bases”

Bases are tracked on the Mission Log wiki page. Bases have the following attributes:
*An owner, which is either none, the computer, or a pathfinder, defaulting to none
*A Location
*Gear, which is a list of items

A pathfinder who is not the owner of a base and is at a location without a base and not linked to a location with a base may spend 3 stanima to create a base.

A pathfinder sharing a location with a base may remove an item from the base’s gear to start carrying it, and may stop carrying an item to put it in the bases’s gear

Create a Base owned by the computer with no gear and a location of cortex desert

Add to the rule “Equipment”

Some equipment is infrastructure. Infrastructure may only be crafted by a pathfinder sharing a location with a base, by default is a blunt object, and a pathfinder carrying infrastructure may not change their location

 

Bases allow pathfinders to set up a camp somewhere. The idea is to let people claim (more or less) different areas so they can study them more effectively, claim credit for what goes on in an area, and generally add some asymmetry to pathfinder game state. The computer base is to lock out the obvious starting points.

Is ownership of a camp meaningful, or can we just use and plunder reach others bases with impunity?

It has the potential to become meaningful. I left plundering open for now, if only to avoid hoarding public resouces. I also left the Potential of giving the base a score open for now.

imperial Again, up to the players whether they want to allow free trading of items.

If this passes we should probably decide how many Wrenches and Gloves we actually have, and dump all the supplies into the Cortex Desert Base.

against I would prefer it if possessions in camps were locked to the camp’s owner, at least in the first instance
