salelog

Ok so we have roster, Inductlog, and banklog. I want to see one more salelog. The command would list who traded ships and what the ship name was. It would make it easier to keep up with ship sales and match with donations. Cause lets face it alot of people dont donate sale money and they get away with it cause its hard to catch who traded the ship away. You might say well dont hand out the tradeship empowerment. I would simply counter with spyapp and I would say if you dont have out the empowerment people bitch when salesmen are never online.

Or..shiplog, for info on renames, trades, who a ship was traded through (if they’re in the clan), selling, buying, etc.

I like it!

yeah ship log if it was renamed if it was traded donated and what else! make it searchable ie Marauder Corvette ‘Rojans pimpmobile’
shiplog rojans
that would bring up all logs involving that ship.

It would definitely make it easier to keep track of sales and stuff. It would make it harder, if not impossible, for a clannie to just trade a ship off for free to his IC Buddy or somesuch without having to resort to pirateship.

It has merit, and I like it.

Expanding on this idea:
Why not change the obsolete and unused clansellship to accomodate this?
clansellship <player> <price>
buyship refuse
or
buyship accept <account>

This is essentially the same format as the way that tradedroid was set up. BUT. the difference is that the buyer has the additional option (if the ship’s price is > 2,000,000 credits) of specifying a bank account to pay from. This way they don’t even have to have the cash on them, and the money is transferred directly to the clan funds.
When you type ‘shiplog’ with the correct empowerment, it gives you not only the list of clan ships traded via tradeship, but also ships sold using this format.
And it’s also searchable for a specific ship that was traded or sold, showing the name, class, and sale price.

It would be neat if government clans could see a sort of rename_log of all ship renames on their planets

To expand upon Walldo’s suggestion… what we need is an actual ship database. Or perhaps, have it so different governments maintain different databases. Whenever you purchase a ship, change your ship’s name, make modifications, etc, it goes into that government’s database. Then slicers can do all sorts of nifty things like secretly hide or make changes to the database, look up information from outside of the clan, etc. Oh, and maybe make it so you can cross ship transponders, so when someone goes to locateship Ship A, they get Ship B instead. >.>
