So since Maeve is close to officially becoming Kami (Just one thread till the big transformation) I've been brainstorming ideas how not only to integrate her into the role a bit better but to also shake things up storywise. It's been a seriously long time since the original creator of the dragon balls (Scargot) has been around and due to that currently there's little to no risk in LOSING the dragon balls since he's in NPC land meditating with the whales or something. Anyway, my thought was that after this next wish the dragon balls would lose their power and die leaving the world without the Eternal Dragon. Maeve: having a magic background and the role as Kami would step in and make a replacement set. Due to her demonic heritage however, the set of dragon balls would be fundamentally altered and they'd scatter outside of Earth's atmosphere into the reaches of space creating something similar to the black star dragon balls of Dragon Ball GT (without the whole planet detonation thing.) These new balls would be randomly distributed all around the galaxy and encourage players to explore underused boards in their search of the dragon balls. The dragon balls of Namek would remain unaffected making planet Namek a more guaranteed spot to hunt for dragon balls (inspiring more activity there) I was also thinking these new dragon balls could be buffed in some way due to the added difficulty in finding them. (Further buffs, higher wish count, etc) Maybe there could be a universal battery for the dragon radar that tells you exactly where the next dragon ball is for a higher zeni cost? Any villainous character could try to kill Maeve in order to prevent the heroes from using these powerful new dragon balls making them a less permanent fixture. So yeah that's my rough ideas there's no solid system in place but I wanted to get some feedback for the idea.

Grand Tour Grand Tour. I give the idea 4 thumbs way up save for the extra item, I think guessing could be part of the fun. Also, what if... *peers at Zucceta * They're black star?

Yes. DAMNIT I THOUGHT YOU WENT TO SLEEP VIPOI BUT YOU NINJA'D ME.
Anyway I think we'd have to slightly revise how dragon balls are searched for. Like if you use a normal battery on Earth - and all of them were on different boards then you used up your battery. Oh well. lol.

My initial idea was that they'd straight up be the black star balls but wasn't sure if people would be happy about the whole planetary detonation bit

I would have them just simply act as a "galactic" replacement for Earth DBs. Same costs and wish power, but it encourages wider play and might bring people to different worlds, if only temporarily.

Sounds really fun. I think some really fun threads could come from so much space travel. And who knows? Maybe Zucc and Vi can do a grand tour after the first wish is made!

just 1 potential snag in this here (rad as hell) plan; someone is gonna need to know where they balls are when they zoop into space; that would put them (and their characters with radars) out of the running for he balls.
Alternatively, 2 rolls are made via scan; first, which ball and then, which planet. If you're there, you get it, if not, you've wasted the roll.

I would probably change it so, if there's a character with a ball, or available ball, on a planet, you don't have to go through a "luck" roll. The luck comes from picking the correct planet/area for a ball (and perhaps Namek could be per "area" if any balls land on it).

The only problem I could see with the Luck rolls being removed is that I feel it would open a gateway to people metagaming.
