Hands down best idea so far for EC someone needs to tell this to the devs a rouge trader names baba Ji in the game if would make an amazing Easter egg later on for newer people.
Why stop at one Rogue Trader you can buy from? Why not have Baba Ji as one amongst a small number of Rogue Traders? That way they can act as go-betweens and could even trade information. One could be Baba Ji, another a disguised Inquisitor, another a Necron in disguise, with the others varying from true Rogue Traders to individuals with their own secret agendas.
I can see multiple Rogue Traders working. I was thinking of one hidden in a base somewhere, but multiples would certainly work. I like the idea of them selling the dud items as it would add to the humor, for sure.
That would be a terrible idea. There wouldn't be any humor so much as there would be mobs of ***-mad players who got ripped off with crappy gear.
Not if you either couldn't actually buy the item! Or you can buy it, but as the Rogue Trader goes to hand it over it falls apart in his hands requiring him to give you a full refund, plus some tasty piece of info to stop the situation turning nasty! Though it might be nice, as an SM player, to be able to buy a Holy Orb Of Antioch!
