Ashraks

[Master System Lord Ra]

They should add ashraks to the goa'uld, and Bounty Hunters for others.
What do you think?

[Yu Huang Shang Ti]

how would they work?

[Master System Lord Ra]

Ashrak are the elite mercs of the goa'uld.

[Darth CRÅYSHACK_Toe9292]

Like Super-Mercs?

[Master System Lord Ra]

Yes

[Jean Gregoire Gabriel]

Hmm, I think super soldiers should cost more than just a one-off payment of naq. Currently they require you give up some of your income, and this works. What system do you propose for the cost of these new mercs?

You hire them for a set amount of time, so the price is varied. Like for 2 ashraks for 48 hours, u pay 4 million naq.

[Jean Gregoire Gabriel]

Interesting concept. On their contract they wouldn't add anything significant (permanent) to your rank. This leads me to think of they'd be best used as disposable mercenaries, in the truest sense of the word, ie. they perform their duties (whatever that may be) and leave, taking their fee. Whether this service is something that would merit the inclusion into the game I'm not sure.

Regardless, I think their capabilities and costs require more thought (as currently, it would be cheaper to buy six mercs, full-time, with weapons than one armed Ashrak/Bounty hunter for a day and a trained Super Soldier bought every day costs less than 1/10th of your price - including the lost income).

how about instead of a time limit on them, they can be used once. I.e. basically they do their job and "leave"/die in battle.

I like a time limit on them but that would incourage people to horde attack turns and go on sprees. Nothing wrong with that but if it is that way they should cost more and the defense one's would be worsless.

[Man of God]

thats a pretty good idea. for the tauri they could have the tok'ra as spies to infiltrate into the goa'uld realms. but they would have to be enemies of the person that they send the super merc to infiltrate. like spy mercs who do alot of damage. nice

[ColonelMichael]

That would be cool and they should add a button send ashracks so you use only them like paper plates you use em once and throw em away that way you can kill them instead I would be gould for sure if only it didn't cost me so much to switch.
