Two Suggestions for the Secret Documents

Post by tempchar1 » #97420

A common traitor objective is to exchange secret documents with another traitor. The whole objective is interesting and involves a lot of trust and betrayal.

The documents themselves can not be used for much. They are only meant to be carried in a traitor's inventory to secure greentext once arriving to Centcomm.

I have 2 suggestions that can make possession of the secret documents a little more interesting.

1: Sending the secret documents to Centcomm gives you 1000 supply points
If a traitor is caught with the documents; one can not do much once they have been confiscated. It would make sense that Nanotrasen would LOVE to get their hands on syndicate intelligence, so why not add a feature that if the documents are sent back to Centcomm on the supply shuttle, cargo gets a sweet 1000 supply points for helping Nanotrasen defeat the syndicate menace.

2: Make the documents wearable as a hat
The syndicate balloon is the only true way to show off your trophy of killing a traitor, or showing off your badassery by revealing to the station that you are a traitor and you don't care if everyone knows. Since the documents are three sets of paper, it would make sense if you could make a sweet stack of paper hats to show that you don't care if your rival corporation can see syndicate intelligence right on your head. The document hat will be like the syndicate balloon in which it will immediately attract the eye of any who see. To do this, the documents should be fully colored, probably in red, blue, and some other color. The documents are also a stack, so they should be taller than the regular paper hat. My suggestion is that the hat expands one tile above your character with an animated sprite that shows the paper hats wobbling. This will attract the attention of everyone around you and probably get you killed and make the traitor you were supposed to exchange the documents with fail in turn. Yeah maybe this is not such a good idea but it is worth considering!

Sorry, but Cargo gets those all the time with an upgraded crusher/ore redemption machine.

Make it capture the flag. Agent that gets the documents of opposite side has to send them to Syndicate HQ somehow, who wins gets the Nuke Ops raid sent on the station.

#1 is already true, but the bonus you get is smaller at 100 points.
