((I think someone for everyone would be nice.))

((So you favor the harem route, eh?


As for interesting and dangerous... my initial thought was a new piece of technology as requested by each member, but I suppose that'd be a bit overly elaborate and generous.

So then I moved on to a bonus mission. Not sure what exactly it'd be- maybe some mad scientist needs help, maybe the HMRC is famous enough to enter into some bizarre public entertainment arena/obstacle course thing, maybe a tourist place wants to pull off a cheesy publicity stunt using real "supersoldiers." In any case, the idea would be that it's more of a potential goodie bag- filled with new inventions, possible gear, opportunities to learn skills, or something of that nature- than it is your usual maimfest followed by standard mission rewards.

Similar to the tech idea, AM or Doc could hand out items, assuming you're willing to be generous enough to hand everyone something genuinely useful (or can figure out what kind of porn or exotic drugs to give us).

Finally, you could potentially give the entire team something as a whole, like a robotic companion. Of course, it'd be kind of odd handing us a robot slave, he'd probably be more competent than us, and we'd undoubtedly get him killed in short order, but it's an option.

Any of these ideas could also work well with the raffle idea, of course.))

[PyroDesu]

...Yeah, this is why it's a punishment, we're surrounded by incompetents, except for a very few.

Hearing Milno:

I can do some alright handiwork, but it's nothing special. I did put together my launcher and the grenades for it, after all.

((I think something for all would be nice. Raffles are... eh.))

[Caellath]

((@IronyOwl: Yeah, I was also thinking about an extra mission that worked like a Bonus/Treasure Run, with less dangers and more bounty.

Or something that could benefit the whole team, like an ARSC.))

"Can you try to create a rough net to catch him then? If you do, don't cut, just tie."

If Simus does accept, Milno tosses her the length of rope he has on him.

If Thomas can drop down safely, without hurting anyone, he does so. If not, he keeps trying.

(I think a good idea woud be too have some sort of game changing event on the ship, like some sort of Attack or prision break, not by us of course, but the idea still stands.)

((That doesn't really seem like a reward, for the most part.

Plus, this game's kind of, uh... Hard? Solid? Not sure what the term would be, but it might be difficult to justify something like prisoners suddenly and effectively revolting or an enemy boarding rather than just blasting the ship, as opposed to a sillier game where ninjas can just leap out of the air ducts and nobody really notices.))

Ok what about if players get more accsees to other parts of the ship, like the research labs?

((That could be interesting, but I'm not sure what the effects could be. We can already do most of our testing/research in VR, after all. I suppose a better machine shop or something could be handy, but it probably wouldn't be wise to radically change the way the game works, and giving us permanently better crafting or similar might do just that.))

[Nikitian]

Treat Faith's injuries. Use instruments from her advanced kit, if that would make difference.
Just... what happened here?

(( I am inclined towards making sure everyone would get at least something, but that need not be that simple as equipment or tokens. While the idea of getting a free discovery is very tempting, it is too likely to be imbalanced. All in all, I think some kind of deepening and varying players' options would be the ideal variant, such as, for example, indeed giving access to other parts of the ships, thus introducing new NPCs and new gameplay aspects, or something like that. Or maybe inventing some new game mechanics, as well as new toys and threats based on those.
Well, if my guess of that '[censored]' thing is correct, we might already be heading in that direction. ))

[IronyOwl]

((Speaking of which, we should totally start a betting pool on what [censored] is. Trouble is it might take a while. Or be some weird edge case with whether it matches or not. Or have too many people assume the same thing.))

[piecewise]

Just stopping by quickly to say I've figured out at least one part of the "reward" as it were, I'll actually do a turn later when I have more then a second.

((Does it affect people on mission somehow? As in they missing something due to being inside an alien anomaly?))

((What would he offer, though? Sage advice?))

((Something along those lines. Or maybe the new NPC will craft items for you, I remember there being some discussion about how hard it is back on the On-Ship thread.))
