[quote][b]Remus (Jul 16, 2003 12:20 p.m.):[/b] [b]JOBS[/b] A sprite's got to eat, right? Well, not strictly speaking, no. But a sprite most certainly has to travel. Otherwise, the sprite can't finish the game and pass on into the sprite afterlife, where sprites go after the game ends (unless they're sequelists, in which case they believe they'll be reincarnated as themselves in a whole heap of trouble all over again -- this religion is not especially popular). And in order to travel, a sprite needs money, and THEREFORE, a sprite's gotta work. Here's a list of jobs available throughout the galaxy. Each inhabited system has FOUR jobs available for the player to work. These are static, and do not change over the course of the game. With 50 inhabited systems, that means there are a total of 200 unique jobs to work. And I say unique because no one is precisely like the others. They all fall into five general categories (Collection, Combat, Delivery, Hazard, and Mini-Game), and are sub-divided into specific types. Each job type has four examples spread across the galaxy. Therefore, there are 50 types. Certain jobs yeild more cash than others, but generally, working one job will provide a sprite with about enough cash for passage to a system one jump away. So, here they are. [i]Collection[/i] 1. Animals - collect escaped exotic animals 2. Machine Parts - collect pieces of a broken machine 3. Lost & Found - collect lost items 4. Journalist Footwork - collect information 5. Contest - collect tokens [i]Combat[/i] 1. Bodyguard - protect employer from harm (local) 2. Boxing - fist-fight for a cut of the bet profits 3. Gladiator - weapont-fight for a cut of the bet profits 4. Bouncer - break up scuffles and expel rowdy types 5. Law Enforcement - help police clean up street crime 6. Retaliation - repay a grievance with pain 7. Bounty - find and subdue a fugitive for bounty money 8. Pelts - hunt beasts and sell the pelts 9. Extermination - kill all beasts in an infested area 10. Escort - protect employer from harm (abroad) 11. Fighting Tournament - fist fight up a ladder for prize money 12. Marksmanship Contest - shoot weapons at targets for prize money [i]Delivery[/i] 1. Food - deliver ordered food (local) 2. Medical Supplies - deliver medical supplies to a hospital 3. Drugs - deliver illegal narcotics 4. Data - deliver data storage media 5. Briefcase - deliver unmarked packages 6. Message - deliver a message (local and abroad) 7. Long-Range - deliver goods (abroad) 8. Pickup - go pick up a package and return it to the employer (local and abroad) [i]Hazard[/i] 1. Water Purification - descend into a malfunctioning water purification machine 2. Security - maneuver a malfunctioning security grid 3. Air Filtration - ascend into a malfunctioning air filtration machine 4. Engineering - navigate a malfunctioning power core 5. Space Walk - cross a zero-G environment in a pressure suit 6. Cliff - scale a cliff face to reach the top 7. Tower - climb a tower structure to reach the top 8. Geothermal - descend into a geothermal power station 9. Vehicles - cross the tops of moving vehicles to reach a goal 10. Factory - weave through an operating factory to reach a goal [i]Mini-Game[/i] 1. Chef - using custom controls, prepare food dishes for patrons 2.
