["Orc In A Spacesuit" <orcinaspacesuit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I think I mentioned this once before, but what do you guys think about 
chunking the old resources/raw materials/units system, and creating a new 
one with catagories:

Resource   Get it from
Wood          Big Sticks, Kindling...
Stone          Big Rocks, Mining....
Metal           Mining, Athames, Big Lumps...
Oil                Mining(rarely), Balls of Wax...
Fiber/Cloth Towels, Worthless Stocks...

Then make the speeder upgrades cost some of these, mostly metal (which makes 
sense, and follows the current unit amounts).  Of course, all it would do 
now is get WBE running again (and I'll do that anyway if you don't go for 
this idea), but this opens the door for lots of expansion.  I'm thinking we 
make generic Recycling Centers, put one at each Service Garage owned by WBE, 
and maybe let people buy more for $$$.  And of course, allow people to trade 
these resources, between themselves and societies.

Any suggestions about what resources to have are welcome.  Let's try to keep 
it from getting too out of hand, though.  I don't think most of us want to 
deal with all the different kinds of metals and such.

Of course, this idea involves bringing back Glotmorf's mining;  Since that's 
his, I'll let him have first go at reactivating it, although I do have 
several ideas of my own.
