I think the QM could use some new things to order, so here are some ideas I thought of.
-Toolbox crate: Mechanical Toolbox x2, Electrical toolbox x2, Emergency Toolbox x2
Reasoning: I know tools of all sorts can be made at a general fabricator, but the general convenience of obtaining an entire toolbox at once would make people more receptive to ordering it from QM. In their spare time, bored QMs and roboticists could turn them into robots.
-Atmospherics crate: Plasma canister x1, Oxygen canister x1, Nitrogen canister x1, CO2 canister x1, Air scrubber x1, portable air pump x1
Reasoning: Aside from a single fabricator in engineering that's basically never touched, there appears to be no other way to restock gases, so if the QM could order something like this it might be useful for when an engineer wastes all the plasma in engineering storage within the first five minutes.
-Spacefaring crate: Spacesuit set (regular grey spacesuit, jetpack, breath mask, space helmet) x3
Reasoning: Possibly could be command-locked, like the doors in EVA. A way to quickly supply the station in the event of major breaches, because the internals crate often doesn't cut it.
-Foam tank
-Firefighting crate: Firesuit x3, Firebot x3, Fire extinguishers x3
Reasoning: For fighting plasma fires more efficiently.
-Hardware crate: Contains one of each circuit board in tech storage
Reasoning: Although it's rare that those ever go missing when they're needed, there's no harm in having a way to restock them.
-Music Crate: Vuvuzela x1, Bike Horn x1, Harmonica x1, Saxophone x1
Reasoning: Start a band.
-Clown crate: Clown wig and mask x1, clown suit x1, Clown shoes x1, banana peel x1, cream pie x1, box of balloons x1, bike horn x1
Reasoning: honk
In addition to new crates, some other suggestions:
-Have a defibrillator, circular saw and scalpel show up in the medical resupply kit
-Randomize the novelty costumes in the novelty costume crates, because blowing the entire budget on the same seven clothes over and over again isn't quite as fun
-Have more than one cargo transporter in the QM lobby, for more efficiency, or to toss a spare to mining or some other department that needs it.
-Have random space traders sell more high-end luxury goods, like golden pod armor or voltrons, as a reward for the diligent QM
-Include a ruckenginur kit and reverse engineering fabricator in QM, and have random space traders have a chance to sell blueprints of common station equipment, like the cloner or teleporter.
-Revamp the Experimental Local Generator. In its current incarnation it seems fairly pointless, as most power-critical areas (telesci, medbay, genetics etc.) will usually have enough charged power cells nearby that having to charge extra is rarely an issue. Perhaps change it to something that when situated on a wire and activated, will supply power at a slow rate to all APCs within a certain area, or something along that line.
