Change uplink purchasing to a stock system

[PKPenguin321]

This is a wild idea that I don't expect (or even fully desire) to be implemented, but I feel that it's worth discussion. I don't think it should be applied to Nuke Ops, since I feel it would work better with traitors.

Instead of having 20 points to mix and match purchases, have something around 5 points, and make each item cost 1.

The twist is that each item comes in limited stock. Most items can only be purchased once, such as bombs. Certain items like eswords can be purchased twice (for dual-bladed eswords).

Some items like C4s would probably be changed to give more bang for your buck, like making C4s come in a bundle of multiple C4s.

The exception to this system are items like bundles/crates/the balloon which will still cost all of your points.

Thoughts?

Also note that I admittedly haven't put a lot of thought into this system, it's kind of an off-the-wrist radical idea that will probably most likely be shit, but also maybe it won't be I don't know

Just let the man buy five eswords god damn.

actually yeah that might be funny
making stock only apply to certain "big" items like bombs and holoparasites but allowing things like eswords get purchased five times could work, but maybe not idk

No thanks this would actually serve to worsen what traitors can buy. Oh, you can buy far more lethal stuff! But sorry, the things which were cheap, you are now cucked on.

but what if cheap 1 TC stuff is buffed
like for example, instead of just one dehydrated carp, you get a whole school

we could put other stuff like voice changers/agent ids/sleepypens/AI detectors/chameleon jumpsuits/chameleon stamps into one big box of various stealth gear. get the whole kit for one easy purchase!
