HoP Job Booth and Assignment Terminal - Frank_Stein - 04-05-2020 Essentially a way for the HoP to automate the job assignment process. The HoP can create jobs from a terminal that lets them assign:
As far as uniforms and tools go, the HoP can draw from a list and of items commonly available at manufacturers, but also load in more exotic items manually. When a player accepts an assignment, the machine swaps out what they already have and spits out any conflicting items into a bag that can be ripped open to retrieve them RE: HoP Job Booth and Assignment Terminal - DasBrain - 04-05-2020 No. 1) Reduces player interaction: * HoP is basically sitting in front of a screen, imaging new crazy jobs all day long. * Why stand in the HoP line at all? 2) How do you prevent abuse? * I can imagine quite a few ways to abuse that system. * Worst offender is the agent card. Most jobs have a locker. Get your new access, get to the locker, swap your gear, and you are fine.

I know that HoPs usually give out access like candy and that's cool, but just entering a booth seems way too easy to me. And if a HoP really wanted to make a bunch of Ghost Busters or something, I guess they could also just make a pile of ghostbuster cards and leave em lying around. RE: HoP Job Booth and Assignment Terminal - Frank_Stein - 04-07-2020 I picture it as something along the same lines as the gene booth: Something to streamline gameplay by requiring less waiting around for people to show up to perfrom a requested task. I don't necessarily see this replacing face to face HoP interactions, but to supplement them You could have the booth work with access implants to mitigate any ID card abuse, or have a PDA prompt if you want to approve things on an individual level. RE: HoP Job Booth and Assignment Terminal - Mouse - 04-07-2020 Having the booth put in an access implant would be a good idea. Perhaps some access levels could be blacklisted from the booth as well. RE: HoP Job Booth and Assignment Terminal - zjdtmkhzt - 04-07-2020 The HoP having to approve via PDA would remove a lot of my concerns with this. ^ I also feel like it should require you to input an existing ID card so you can't "double-dip" (unless you steal someone else's ID), even if it gives an implant. I guess in that case the old ID would be consumed. I'd just like to keep at least *some* level of barrier between random people and getting access to an area unrelated to their job, even if convincing the HoP or getting hacking tools is usually very easy. |
