I've had an idea for a good while now (ever since construction was added to the normal jobs) of kind-of a construction worker whitelist job that would get all the old perks of the construction worker (if the RCDD was nerfed because of grief, haven't played in a while) and some other construction related perks to speed up construction.
Something like all access, the aforementioned construction workers old gear, faster build times, and perhaps 200 stacks of glass and steel on spawn. Even with carpenter trait building stuff is just way too slow nowadays for me because of the progress bar update. Building one wall takes almost as long as it took to build mininium 3 walls before since you could add plating/reinforce every girder within 1 tile, not so with the progress bar. I just don't see it worth the effort anymore for the amount of time it takes. With a whitelist req for the job the people who got it would actually be more focused on building and I imagine a lot more hesitant to grief with the perks since they risk losing access to it.
I'd make the application process for it pretty lax though since it's always great fun to see people build stuff, maybe have people post 5 examples of their builds and small questions like "What is your favorite spot to build" etc. Something easy to get whitelisted, but also easy to lose if you abuse it. I'd even make it not applicable for getting picked as a traitor.
Maybe keep the theme of NT special folks by calling it "Nanotrasen Building Master" or something along those lines.
