Currently when you buy gang gear, it spits out the item and deducts the gang points from the gang's total. That's fine but I think it could be cooler and more in-line with gang's premise and design. The idea:
When you buy a weapon, it announces that you have bought this weapon over your gang comms, and then *anybody* in the gang can make their way over to their locker and claim the weapon. So in effect you're buying for your whole gang instead of just for yourself. This has a few benefits:
1. It reduces the feeling of one person wasting all the points on one weapon while everyone else gets nothing, which is no fun
2. It encourages all the gang members to congregate around the locker which could lead to fun planning and cooperation. Also emphasizes the location of the base in general more
3. It makes each gang appear more distinct to the crew: Now you have "The Gang with lasers" or "The Gang with d-sabers". I think this firmer identity would be good for gang and generally help people know Who Is In What Gang Together
4. It could allow enemy gangsters or security to listen in on comms and hear what gear is being bought and then try to do some counter play
Prices for items could be tweaked to accommodate this idea but It hink they should remain around the same now, since they feel really expensive anyways and it feels hard to buy gear without feeling like I'm screwing over the rest of my gang because it's so pricey
