Expensive Economy Cosmetics/Items Suggestions

Post by Steelpoint » #453835

I've been currently brainstorming some minor concept of items that can be put on sale in departments. The idea is to have expensive items that are either a cosmetic (upgrade) or provide a minor boost or advantage over stock gear that dept has access too. The ultimate concept is to slowly encourage the crew to place """some""" value in the money they have and how they spend it.

In pursuit of this I've already made two PR's in this regard.
  • Security Webbing: Adds a 'Security Webbing' chest slot item to the SecVendor - Functions akin to a Sec Belt but has 6 slots instead of 5. (Merged)
  • Mini-Hypospray: Adds a 'mini-hypospray' to the Medical Vendors - They work akin to the standard Hypospray but can only hold 10 units each.
So the reason for this post is to ask people what they would like to see as items that can be bought. I'm not a good coder but I can still do simple concepts and somewhat ok resprites.

Do the items have to be completely new ideas/unique items or can they be anything?

I like the sec webbing, so maybe it'd be cool to have a variant of that for medical purposes given that the medical belt exists? An extra slot can really help, especially if you're a roving doctor rather than one who just chills in medbay.

Advanced first aid kit - Has an advanced scanner, gauze, atropine autoinjector and pill bottles containing syntheflesh (15u) patches.
High performance engineering tools - Have shinier and sleeker appearances than normal tools and have 0.75 tool speed.
Energy Cuffer - A small device that, when used on a person, zipties that person with cuffs made of energy. Energy cuffs are weaker than normal zipties but the energy cuffer can produce them ad infinitum.
Iced tea/coffee - Found in coffee machines, iced tea is slightly more expensive due to being a more effective toxheal.
Cigars - Found in cigarette machines.

Edit: in the OP you even say you've PR'd one of my suggestions.

I’m working on adding a bishop’s robe and hat to the chappie vendor. No real special effects, but a chaplain would have to collect a lot of tithes and donations to have a hope of affording it.

Clown

Bananium E-Sword - 10000000 credits

Why? Slips got nerfed, and since the bananium e-sword slips you. You don't even get stunned you can just crawl and punch the bananium e-sworder.

Good meme item for the clown to get credits for

Edit: Please don't remove the budget cards. The service budget card has a good use. Since contraband plants cost money, I can ask the HOP to take money out of the service card so I can buy my strange seeds.

Bluespace/golden tray for chef. Holds twice as many food items (and only food items to prevent powergaming with it). Ginsu/Golden Chef knife, increases butcher/slicing amounts by 1. Bottles of things like soy sauce.

$10,000 - Dermal Patch : Relive the glory days
$1000 - SWAT Mask: Now you too can be a wannabe Deathtrooper
$1800 - Autorifle: Remember when someone wanted ballistic sec? Me neither.
$600 - SecHelmet with welded on Sec Mask: Pretend to be a gas mask mook, and die like one.
$1200 - Mini-Mini-Defibrillator: It fits on your belt, but only works once. You still won't revive that person.
$500 - Large bucket: Refill your weed plants with a double capacity water bucket. Waste it on slipping the Clown.
$800 - Engineering Webbing: Cause everyone needs a fucking webbing, no actual mechanical difference from the toolbelt. But hey, special snowflake visuals.
$120,666 - 100x Eguns and SWAT suits: Steal the RD's card and do what cargo does every round.
$5000 - SWAT Mk2 Combat Hardsuit: Wanna wear the Captains suit? Now you can buy the next best thing but it comes in grey (IronHawk not included)
$2000 - Aging Energy Gun: Relive the days of 10 stun round Eguns. Except this one won't recharge.

Being super serious, I'm not 100% for "golden" tools or variants BUT if someone sprites some I'd be happy to toss em in.

I've cleared the offtopic posts, economy has it's own thread to whine about it.

Make the captain able to buy a death squad suit for 1 billion dollars. He has a vendor, I think. Also, no one's ever gonna reach 1 billion. It's just a dream meme idea, and it gives captains something to work towards.

I mean bicycles are 1 million, and no one has ever reached that in the last year or so. I doubt someones gonna reach 100 million

I mean, for a joke I could add a 'SpecOps Vendor' with an array of Deathsquad level gear, with all of the items having absurd price values that would be unattainable even in the current economic climate. It'd serve a duel purpose as a joke but also to emphasize how expensive the 'standard issue gear' of the Deathsquad is.
