[Grand Deceiver]

I had a hot date with a grill and a steak Last night so I didnt take the time to expound upon my ideas.

What really got me thinking is Gen Woundwort's Highliner Mod.

1. Host would definately have to be the Spice Producer and Policeman of the game. Might work Hand in Hand with Gen Woundworts's Highliner Mod.
Not only would the Host Produce all the Organics he would have control of the Highliners.

2. Since we are talking about Highliners and Spice it is safe to say that we are playing in a Dune Based Universe. So naturally the players would be ont of the Major or Minor Houses. If the Players are a House then all would be in contact from the start. So a map would need to be made with with a central starting point or several close enough together so that comms and trade could take place.

3. Hmmm..never thought of the buying and selling of ships!! That opens all kinds of possibilities. Maybe only a few houses have the ability to have Space Yards but NO resource productions at all...so now not only would you have to trade for Spice for the population and maintenance of your ships etc...you would have to place an order with one of the Building houses for your ships.

4. Of course each house would start off with a small stockpile or spice and production capacity but it would be at such a rate that no matter what it would alwayd be a deficit. Same for the Spice Producers with the other rads.

5. Since I am talking about a PBM or PBW game the possabilities are really endless..cause this would be a RP type game.

6. Hmmm..Emporer with Devestating Sardukar for Hire......

7. A set of guidelines would have to be published and enforced byt the host with penalties, maybe a council of houses like in the books....

I know I'm rambling now....

Wonder if houses could be modified so that they could only produce certain techs? Highliners would have to carry an uncompleted Ship to a different Sy and gift it to the house for fitting out of those techs. Then on to the next....Woe be to the house that dismantles and steals anothers tech..

Ok, I'll quit rambling......
