Medal/Job Rewards rework

[Zamujasa]

I like your post! I don't agree with it (see below), but I wanted to let you know that I appreciate the ideas and feedback, so thank you for your input.

You have the medal rewards. 
You have the "Credits" which allows you to purchase gimmick items on spawn.  
You have the job rewards (which is only Janitor right now but w/e)
You also have the DD rewards in-game which are rewarded for buying DD via a golden ticket.
Then you have actual in-game currency 

Some of these are disjointed, but for a good reason. DD stuff is straight up a reward for consuming literal poison.

Medals and job rewards are both rewards; spacebux are a single reward you try to keep with you and often a gimmick that wouldn't make sense to get mid-round (like the alternate races).

1. Direct medal rewards and Preround credit items to an in-game vending machine. Tie in DD tickets and you're all set!

How? 
Medal rewards/Preround credits are tied in directly with your ID. When you slot the ID in, it will allow you to purchase (for free) your reward, if and only if you have that unlocked and can only be done once. The Preround credits still exist, but you need to redeem it at the machine. 
The machine also accepts money so you can purchase these items at an inflated price.
The machine also has DD golden ticket items (everything is amalgamated) and by getting a DD golden ticket, it acts effectively like a free purchase as outlined above (entitling you to one item)
Why?
Amalgamation of the disjointed systems. It ties in the DD tickets so that they see potential use. It ties in credits also which means items can be potentially bought if you have the dollah. It also removes a ton of issues outlined in the OP. 

Issues:
- Sometimes you don't get an ID, either by not spawning with one, having it stolen, etc, so this is right out. But beyond that, this could also lead to other people ganking your card and getting (more) ill-gotten gains from it.
- Some of the items really shouldn't be accessible mid-round, like the Lizard / Skeleton races, or the potato limbless purchase. Also, money in-game is largely worthless in that you either have nowhere near enough to buy what you want or you have more money than Scrooge McDuck.
- The Spacebux items vary wildly in price, so just one DD ticket getting you an item is kinda silly. Same with allowing cash to buy special DD rewards.

2. The job rewards should be redeemed through QM. 

How?
When you do your job correctly, you receive a PDA ping that you've received a bonus. This bonus = value of an "upgraded crate". This upgraded crate, as indicated, will contain items which would be superior/different/cooler looking than your own (see Janitor rewards). This can be redeemed numerous times throughout a round, if one is doing particularly good. 
Why? 
Cash is king baby. This encourages players to do their job. It encourages credits being important, they don't have to spend their bonus on better equipment. It doesn't restrict a player to do their job correctly either, it's a far more open ended and intuitive system.

Issues:
- How do you determine when someone "does their job correctly"?
- What if that person has no PDA or ID?
- What if there is no QM, or QM has been shut down/destroyed/blown up/whatever?
- What stops you from getting a cash bonus and then having the HoP/AI/whoever immediately steal it?
- What happens when the payroll budget runs out of funds?
- This already is a problem with the Job EXP system, but how do you handle someone who joins as X but ends up doing work in roles Y and Z?
