Improving Gang Mode

[Frank_Stein]

So, what about the rest of the crew? Not the gangbangers or the fuzz, but the rest of us. What are we going to do in a round catering to cults of status? All of these suggestions encourage folks to join, but make no case to stand up to peer pressure.

First, not everyone would be able to join a Gang since the leader needs to approve, and there's a size limit based on current cred rating. The crew that can't or won't join a Gang can still interact with them through the gangs access to the Black Market. The Black Market is a unique merchant that sells illicit and stolen goods, and the Gangs can act as middlemen in dealing these things to the crew, since some items will be department specific high value items, such as rare minerals that mining has a hard time finding, or hard to make/find chems. The gangs are also encouraged to set up vice parlors to market to the crew with.
