I think implementing a working economy is hard but it could motivate players to perform their job. For example stuffing the chefs freezer with food should award botanists a bonus additionally to their basic pay. This bonus system for helping other departments or players could motivate players to RP their role and do their job instead of dicking around. Additionally needed are things players want to spend their cash for. TG does this with goodies like weapons or other stuff. In my oppinion an upgraded spacesuit that allows you to move faster or other goodies that aren't weapons would work too.

Well isn't centcomm official sorta that? Just give em some more money. The problem in my opinion is that money is not that useful as a ingame ressource. TG tried to change that a bit resently with goodies and making things at last he's cost money but there are still not enough incentives acquire money. Maybe add an illegal market that spawns somewhere in space where you can buy syndie stuff or guns in exchange for money.

In general I like your ideas. But you have to keep in mind that hyperspecialization is kinda tricky if the station lacks the numbers for it. I don't think boueshield would improve the game as making it harder for antags to succeed in killing captain and/or stealing certain items from them slows the game down. Also I think the main problem is the lack of specific mechanics that can be assigned to the specific jobs, e.g. modfying genes, xenobiology etc.

SS14 account: Orcus Character name: Timothy Type of Ban: Permanent game ban Date of Ban and Duration: 02.09.2022 (dd.mm.yy) Reason for Ban: "Being racist in chat against lizards. Strict no-tolerance policy for that here, I don't care if it's "for RP". Server you were playing on when banned: Lizard Your side of the story: As an engineer I was arguing with the CE who was a lizard why not setting up the singularity engine was an unwise decision because we were lacking energy throughout the round. To spice things up and because I think creating drama leads to interesting RP opportunities I insinuated that they only got the CE position "because they are a lizard and NT can pay them less". I purely stated this to create a bit of drama and RP as a prejudiced prick and I certainly thought they would just demote me or whatever. This exchange was not meant to hurt them emotionally and if it did I am really sorry as that was not my intention. Why you think you should be unbanned: First off, I will not repeat this behaviour. I recognize that I rped as a speciest prick and I won't do that again. The reason I did so despite the rules was that I simple glossed over the rules some weeks before and didn't keep updated about the current rules which was also a big fuckup by me. I occasionally play SS13 on servers like TG in which being speciest is allowed by the rules and I simply thought this would fly on this server too. Be sure I will double check the rules in the future and avoid any rulebreaking behaviour. Despite this the ban was fairly granted because as I stated I violated an explicitely mentioned rule of this server and for that I am sorry. Anything else we should know: -
