    No and yes.. it will give people a reason to do crimes other than to be an asshole. And thus will give mps something to investigate other than just being an asshole.

    Also allows the oppotunity for non brig sentences like fines. Which might be more interesting.

    Also regarding those talking about a paycheck hourly etc..

    I like the idea, BUT, HR and everything associated with it were removed or never implemented for a reason, and the coding to do that would be more of a challenge. Maybe later?

    All you have to do to get the ball rolling initially is rewrite all the "points" to display money instead. And then removed the accounts and pins (or reuse them) and the rewrite the atm to be a "vendor" but one that vends $10s instead of items.

    Carson bribing people?? Probably.

    But also. Imagine someone cooking and charging for burgers in the kitchen.

    Or the MTs building a bar and charging a cover to get it.

    Or people betting on boxing matches in the gym..

    I for one will be allowing people to skip the line in medical.. for a small fee.

    Triple bonus. The marine with the most money in the game at the end should be displayed in post op screen.

    That sounds retarded lore-wise. You're a marine, the navy provides you with guns n' shit for free. Points are there for balancing reasons.

    Shameless thread necro as I am finally going to get around to Gitlabbing this, especially since cargo has dollars now instead of points.

    Also curious about others inputs.

    Maybe there should be free standard issue equipments, but if you want GOOD STUFF, you gotta get your wallet out.

    I'm sure some kind of meta will inevitably pop out, and then xeno counter meta, and then counter meta to that meta, and then when things stabilize, meta should be accounted for. I don't expect any implemented idea to get it right right away
