Very cool oxp indeed, installed it once, but it changed my pet trumble into a jellybaby!

My pet trumble, alas, has to stay.

Ha, voracious apetite these jellybabies...show 'em a trumble and they'll eat it without hesitation

Normal service is resumed... apologies for the derailment ioannis, but something very cool may have developed from your thread.

Indeed, and I'll even shut up about the jellybabies things that should not be mentioned
Now, where were we.....TAX!

Has someone already reflected on the gameplay balancing issues of taxing the consumption of jellybabies?

Smivs would be flat broke in 30 seconds. I would probably last a minute.

Interesting twist from taxes to jellybabies and jellybaby taxes. I believe the issue of jellybaby tax collectors (with turrets) has not been covered yet.

No, don't get me started on turrets!

What about turrets that fire jellybabies?

How about a converted railgun that shoots jellybaby projectiles?

I think converted railguns that shoot jellybaby projectiles should draw heavy taxation from galcop!

Incoming Tax?

I used to work with someone who used to work in the Irish tax office. She told me that the Irish Inland Revenue had an unofficial "flash car" policy. Anyone who bought a car that was on a short list of "flash" motors – BMWs, Porsches, Ferraris, etc. – was audited, on he pure gut instinct that people who drove such vehicles probably fiddled their taxes. Although wholly unscientific, it did, apparently, have a 90% success rate at catching tax dodgers.

Perhaps a similar tactic could be used in Oolite? Anyone who buys an übership gets lined up for an audit … and Giles help them if they didn't keep the receipt!
