View source for Hover Platform Rental Center

Hover Platform Rental Center is located in [[Freedom City]], at Cheney Way - 900 block, and is open 24/7.

== Hoverplats ==
Three hover platforms can be found here, which can be hired to ferry around heavy furniture for you. They have five commands associated with them:

* {{cmd|hire platform}} will make the platform follow you and your commands. While in your service, it will charge you $5 every 30 seconds.
* {{cmd|load <item> on platform}} will make the platform load a specified item. Some items which are massively heavy may be impossible to lift.
* {{cmd|unload <item> from platform}} will make the platform unload whatever it has loaded.
* {{cmd|dump platform}} will make the platform unload everything it's carrying to its current tile.
* {{cmd|fire platform}} will remove the platform from your service and send it back to its home tile. This implies {{cmd|dump}}; a platform will drop everything it's carrying before heading home.

=== Irregularities ===
Sometimes, hoverplats can become bugged and get stuck, which will cause them to infinitely charge you $5 at a time. This sometimes happens with portals and portalguns in particular. To solve this, {{cmd|transfer}} all of your money to a friend or corp account for a moment. When the platform attempts to charge you, but finds that you cannot pay, it will immediately fire itself.

This tile is also notable for hosting an interesting banner. A relic of HellMOO from long ago, it still hosts a distinction between in-character and out-of-character communication, with instructions like:

    [OOC:  Type 'hire platform'.]
