Replace the shuttle buying system with a merit-based shuttle

Post by Tarhalindur » #582562

To elaborate on the title: Remove the ability for the Captain to pick the shuttle, and instead determine the shuttle based on factors that show how well the crew is doing.
You could do it on a point system that gets points for things like amount of intact rooms, amount of researched techs, number of cargo points, number of dead crew (not counting suicides), etc.
If you get an average score you get the default shuttle. Performing above average gets you progressively nicer shuttles, whereas a shit station gets a shit shuttle.
This way departments are actually rewarded for doing well rather than immediately calling (even if it's a minor reward).
Preferably make the points required for each shuttle a config option so it can be easily adjusted as game balance changes.

Credits are a merit system for how well the station is doing.
