this is to incentivize people to pick the job because then they can use the extra credits to buy cigarettes and outfits from the vendos

Honestly surprised this, or something like it, isn't a thing already

Only if it comes in the form of a credit that has a 75% chance of being delivered to HOP or a 25% chance of getting a letter that says nanotransen doesn't have the funds to pay out the bonus.

That way the poor space men suffers the potential conflict of a unfulfilled promise from an uncaring mega corporation. With the HOP likely being responsible but not always.

An avenue of non antag conflict if you will.

I don't like this tbh
Feels like it's just withholding a neat reward from players who interact with the station bureaucracy.

its a classic tactic used by shitters, coming into my great idea thread and saying OH BUT WHAT IF WE DID SOMETHING COMPLETELY RETARDED and then coders see it and say "i guess it's a bad idea after all"

bad idea shadowflame, i don't endorse it!

I thought interacting with the HOP would be kind of soulful. Heaven knows what they do now that their really the head and not the QM gimmick got deleted by non human mains

You get botany and the chef and bartender to work together and actually make good shit instead of just growing nothing but weed and deep frying shoes and serving nothing but literal poison that explodes your liver instantly and shooting people.

i think they're also technically in charge of the chaplain, psychologist, and lawyer too. also you get to make people get stamped forms from other department heads if they ask for an id change

Do you think Heads of Staff and general staff should receive the same bonus?

Good idea. Whenever I prioritize certain roles as is, no one ever joins as them (I suspect because people see that the role is desperately needed and are like "fuck I don't want that responsibility with no reward" so they join as something else and avoid culpability when the Thing Going Wrong continues to).
