I guess it depends on who the developer is as Monria got 100 apartments and 14 shops at time of launch with zero players I guess MA can break their own rules if they want to. I own an apartment on Calypso I bought it back when it was only option for additional storage for about 200-300ped. Hundreds were available on auction, pages and pages of them only to see them all disappear supposedly bought by an investor (don't recall ever seeing them on the auction again though) while the hundreds of others in other apartment blocks never even got added. Some stuff like the gifts at Xmas are only really useful if displayed and doing that in a public area will result in them disappearing quickly so the only option is an apartment. Which is why I made the suggestion previously as it will also give crafting a boost. That way the Ark team can go nuts on the design of the public premium apartments. I wouldn't be the first time something has screwed previous investors. Anything in EU can be changed / superseded so treating an object as an investment has it's risks. Although I seem to remember seeing apartments / shops in Indomitable but not made available yet.
What about the cargo containers south of Victorious? They have Estate terminals in front of them. Perhaps for IFN Recruits?
True, I walked through some of them, and they look like barracks or tiny apartments. Would be nice if you'd be able to cheaply buy one on the Firebase you are assigned to. Though not all Firebases have them... (yet).
Lars said in Ark.chat yesterday that those containers will become appartments in the future, however it may not be any time soon. And I want an Arkadian place to call home too!
I'd be very interested in having an apartment as well. I vote both yes and to bump that up a bit on the to-do list -Brook
Not like I would ever have money for one, so it doesn't affect me directly, but yeah, I think it will be nice if more people would have one. :0
So, why don't we give the A-team a bit of inspiration? High or low building for apartments, what size and what price would you be willing to pay? What style of building do we like? Looking at the year we play in (3015 I believe), what should the apartment building look like?
That looks like it would be awesome in areas where there are Arkadian ruins, Hideo... But for areas where the IFN has set things up, I would think they'd be MUCH more futuristicly modern, maybe with hermetically sealed entrances, and such... Kinda like the way most of the ones in celeste harbor city are set up. Although, I DO like the way the ones at the FB's are done too... future primitive... awesome.
