WE USE FOR CURRENCY?!?!I was thinking gold, but it's tooooo generic. Then I thought what about "Warrens" for the base currency (like dollars). Any ideas would be appreciated.

Credits? Or you could just avoid mentioning currency to avoid confusion, as for example each one of us would have a different idea of how many warrens a sword would cost. I don't think we used currency in the last one did we? I'm easy either way, I just enjoy being awkward ;)

So carriages, by being less demanding in terms of power output, are much less expensive to run than the price of a kinetic core would suggest. OK.I think using a currency is a good idea. This is a modern civilisation. We should be using modern currency. The currency (called Warrens, as you suggested, although that word is already taken to mean the burrow of some burrowing animals, so maybe a different name is in order) could be set on a gold standard, but not actually made from gold.

First, consider this: most shuttles belong to the United Continental Army (U.C.A / "you-sah"), which is the military of Leginia. Actually, most air craft does, because the military is more than just means of warfare in this world. Recall that the world is currently in an amazing era of peace, which was brought upon right after a time in which everyone was trying to make technology for the sake of fighting. Because of this, a lot of the technological advancement was headed by the military, and since they have so much damn money, the cost of shuttle maintenance is barely a dent in their pocket. Kinetic cores are rare and expensive, but not unaffordable for the U.C.A. But the thing is, there are a lot of shuttles that belong to private corporations and maybe even a super rich family. Like say a sewage company that needs to quickly get to a house to prevent flooding. They would really need to strategically allocate their resources to be able to fund for the shuttles, especially if they aren't big name industries that nearly everyone in the world uses. I mean, unless you're looking for an actual cost in numbers, that should answer it, but if not, tell me. And for the second part of this question, it is expensive to travel on shuttles. The price of the cheapest shuttle rides would be equivalent to First Class tickets on America (in terms of how affordable they are to the average family). Poor people must resort to carriages that they find or taxi carriages. Taxi's are extremely cheap, as carriages are really easy to maintain.That's a cool idea, but it also.... um. Damn, I don't wanna spoil, but there are a lot of plot elements that we will discover regarding cores. I have some endings in mind, but this has no set-in-stone path, really. If we all die and everything fails (or something like that) at the end, then yes, maybe. You'll know what I mean when you learn. OH AND THAT LEADS ME TO MY NEXT POINT! WHAT SHOULD WE USE FOR CURRENCY?!?!I was thinking gold, but it's tooooo generic. Then I thought what about "Warrens" for the base currency (like dollars). Any ideas would be appreciated.

It probably is a true vision. Perhaps younger, though.

Correct on the first statement. And nah I was looking for a more dollar based system but just with a different name.

So... I like economics and all, but doing anything more than just coming up with a name seems unnecessary unless people are gonna be bankers and currency traders.

Sage said
WE JUST NEED A NAME JEEZE!Oh and cool TheFoxWithout, I can't wait :)

Your herpes scared everyone off bro. I mean, herpes is almost as bad as Harshaan. I mean who in their right mind would trade a currency with lame of a name, right Kish?
