Idea: HoP as Vault Manager
Posted: Wed May 28, 2014 10:04 pm
As everyone who plays HoP knows, HoP is the most boring head position. There's really nothing special about his role. This is my idea to change that.
The HoP would logically be behind station payroll, so I had an idea: What if the HoP had a side job as a stockbroker who gambles away the station's finances?
The idea is that the HoP gets access to the Space Stock Market, on which he can buy and sell stock. Stock is bought and sold using Space Cash, some of which already starts in the vault. Space Cash made by service borgs would be remade into fake space cash.
Stocks fluctuate every few ticks, giving the HoP a chance to make (or lose) millions. A small amount of cash spawns every few minutes to represent station payroll. Space Cash can be traded to Centcom via a processing machine/computer and traded for unique items - expensive furniture for the HoP's office, gold-plated dog collars for Ian, gold bars, live xenos for Xenobio, etc. Space Cash can also be sent via the cargo shuttle to buy supply points.
Of course, with great money comes a new traitor objective - steal the station's money and make a getaway.
