Rewards for job performance

[Noah Buttes]

the only place I ever get, or use, money is the debris field these days and depends on the gimmick i want to do, between "great doctor" and

You're goddamn right that we need more ways to spend money aboard the station itself.

that's basically it and also i get some nice things for myself like an injector belt
there's not many opportunities to spend money because things are relatively cheap in the vending machines (this is fine i think) and the trader ships come at random intervals and dock at 1. catering and 2. research, places large swathes of the station cannot enter without shenanigans

Both of those locations are accessible to anyone with maintenance access since you can just take a lengthier route to get there.

The real issue is that rarely do the merchants carry anything that's worthwhile buying. It's usually either JUNK or stuff you could buy elsewhere. The only exceptions I can think of are designer drugs (??? pills) and, of course, the plutonium core.

you can blow lots of money on qm, true, if there's actually a quartermaster. maybe a way to buy crates locked to your id so no one else can have the goodies
edit: or just a way to directly buy things rather than waiting for the quartermaster to get around to it, put your card/pin into a terminal

I feel like we need to encourage more QM interaction rather than discouraging it. As it stands, quartermasters have one of the least active jobs on the station, probably even more so than that of a botanist.

I feel this is contrary to the spirit of the Quartermaster's job: fast-paced wheeling and dealing.

Although, how to resolve that issue is a subject for another thread.
