Goonstation Monthly Contest: February Edition!
#33
Reward name: Alt Backpack
Reward cost: 500
Reward: Outfits you with the slick and stylish black NTSO backpack instead of the standard dull grey one. Can also be turned into a black satchel with the Fish Medal!
(This could even be opened up down the road, like say even more variants sort of like the Alt Jumpsuit. IF that ever happens, split this up into NTSO backpack and Alt backpack.)


Reward Name: MESS (Multi-situational Expanded Storage Solution)
Reward Cost: 5000 (Admins adjust this as needed)
Reward: You a regular ordinary spaceman sick of all items you gotta bring with you on the job? Find that your jumpsuit just don't got the storage capacity it should? Don't fret! Just clean up that MESS! TODAY! The M.E.S.S. is a specially designed system that comes in a neat little package. Al; you gotta do is just hold it in your hand, click the interface, select what fits your needs and viola! A specially designed pouch for the job that fits right into your POCKET!. That's right! Expand that useless pocket space today!

Pretty much as the advert says. It's meant to be a box (We can use the mechanics deployables sprite as a placeholder) that when you click on it, gives you a list of options that transform that box into a specialty pocket that fits into your pocket slot but expands it for that item type (Only has 1 use. can't be changed to another type). Some ideas include:
-----
Standard pocket pouch (2 or 3 small slots): A simple pouch with a weighted clip added to your pocket that can hold (x) of small items (Can blacklist some items from this if needed)

Tool Rig (4 Slots): A specialty rig setup that can only fit tools. (Screwdrivers, welders, wrenches, mutli-tools, etc. Maybe can secretly hold some other items. like the voltron as an example)

Mechanics pouch (4 Slots for just for deployables and +1 for the soldering iron if possible. if not, 5 slots): A specialty pouch for the mechanic who needs that extra space on the go. 4 Slots are dedicated to either mechcomp items, blueprints, or reverse fab deployables. and a single slot for your soldering iron

Sterilized medical patch storage (4 or 5 slots): This storage option lets you hold either multiple mini healing patch boxes. or large healing patches in one spot. Perfect for the paramedic on the go.
Medkit Clamp (1 Slot): Gives up your pocket so you can carry an entire medkit on your side.
-----
(Possible ideas if emaggable)
-----
Expanded Weapons Storage Pouch (5 to 6 slots): With the safety systems disengaged. The MESS system designed this combat ready storage solution that can hold grenades and most ammo types (Small only, can't fit 40mm)

Kinetic Powercell Recharge System (2 Slots): A unique pocket that, when energy weapon power cells are stored within it, will slowly recharge as you take a step (Appox. 1 - 2 Pu's per tile)
-----
These are just SOME ideas to get across what I am looking at with this kind of item. And willing to brainstorm more to help expand this system if it gets picked as a winner.

Flour edit: The second idea requires significant code work. Code will be required for this to be voted on.
