I was thinking of the good old days where lots of corps didn't need techies. I was thinking wouldn't it be nice if some of those came back so that players could use up the workers and save the techies for Space?
Game master if you reading think of it this way. If Aug/Food/Some mining didn't need techies more of them could be made making corps like FMU or space shuttles. Thous lessing the demand and helping global sufficiency.
If sand/wood/stone didn't need techies that means players world wide would have enough workers for almost 300CARGO SHUTTLES.
I'm just saying because we know a lot of news don't have the massive amounts of techies to start and i think a dozen or so corps that don't use Techies would not only help balance workers (so players don't have tons of workers and few techies). Plus this means even experienced players have more. And if i had the free workers id put them to space(always use another cargo shuttle).
Anyways anyone have an opinion? |

The high tech situation is ridiculous. What does 50k or whatever high tech engineers have to do with harvesting lumber or growing soybeans? |

Yeah! That's what I hire illegal immigrants to do!!! |

Okay Mr Indio, if you can get this Space Shuttle to Carina within the next five days, you can have this shiny penny! |

no its not 50k for an agri
its like 10k. why would a clothes or some food corp need it cause they maintain the machines that harvest. food corps don't hire abunch of slaves to do the work. plus some could be for tech support for the office side sup side basically there when some super gets a blue screen on Windows. I see em all the time on the sups PCs. I guess PCs don't like running in a dusty environment. Also its hard to take a dump at work
plus the space business is well small. I have not seen a well performing space corp |

Yep, more HT Eng's using the toilets, makes it hard to take a dump at work.
0.o |

specifics aren't important patton. I could care less if it's 50k or 10k.
And I sincerely doubt any large scale agriculture company in the real world has even 10k high tech people. Even if you do count the mechanics fixing the tractors. |

no thats the clean team but in a dusty environment like a warehouse its hard to take a dump
which I guess would make it be clothes/ household/ sport
and The PCs crash alot
I guess you could call the maintence guys a low dollar engineer |

Well, if you consider that gas pump attendants now call themselves 'motive energy distribution engineers' nowadays... |

It might take 10k or 50k techies to clean the "john" when Matt is done using it. I agree w/ SuperSoldierRCP on this, there is nothing technical about picking carrots out of a field, or digging up sand at the beach. I've seen little handicapped people doing both, and they were just fine at it. |

lol no its probably tech support for the manager side
even cement companies are going to have computers and some alot mixer trucks but some PCs too
and all companies have an office side |

By myself I could easily support a few hundred individuals in an office environment.
I'm aware of a multi-national company that only have 3 IT staff and one of them doesn't count, since he's an executive. |
