Give CO/XO/SOs more money in their bank

Post by Sleepy Retard » 06 Jul 2017, 17:55

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Add more money to the Command staffs bank account, for emergencies. Mostly used to pay ERT Freelancers because they demand money.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Allows more roleplay by actually paying the mercs instead of paying them with pure nothingness and pride for their country as you send them to their death

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Increase the Commander's money by like, a lot. Allowing for money to actually be used

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding

CO couldn't pay the mercs when they docked because they only had 1000 in their account +1

I fully support this but maybe it'd be better if the Corporate Liaison had the ability to take out loans instead so it could contribute to roleplay. I don't know it'd just make more sense and would add a lot more roleplay possibility. +1

All naval vessels civilian and military have a safe full of money to pay off pirates and potential hostage takers. Consider it insurance. I think having a larger cash supply on board would be fine.

Yeah big container ships have safes full of bargaining money to pay off highjackers (along with the bonus of liquid cash for conversion at foreign ports to buy personal items and luxeries). For instance, the *Maersk Alabama* (Captain Philips) tried to use their safe full of 30,000 USD to pay off the Somali pirates, but ended up as a hostage instead.

+1 from me, last time I saw mercs needing payment the CO had to collect up money from tons of marines to pay them. Then the CO got in the escape pod with all the money, causing salt to spill everywhere, it was great.

Still a +1 though.

that commander sounds downright horrible and should be dewhitelisted. Down with the capitalist thieves! Scum! cough cough

Aye, it would prevent me from stealing a fuck ton of money from all the marines.
