I was thinking about the idea to have some kind of incentive to complete objectives and survive rounds, and while I can't think of a perfect, balanced way to go about it I do think there could be some fun with an idea I had
Chips would basically be poker chips, with different values, awarded at the ends of rounds for doing things. Reward values are based on how hard it is to accomplish. An example would be playing a round gets you a 1 chip compared to surviving the round giving you a 10 chip. Basically, a bunch rewards for doing minor things that encourage interacting with systems and players, and some larger rewards for mastering things. Chips are rewarded on a once per round basis, rather than once per completing an action
The second part comes around once you've died, where you can make wagers and bets as a ghost, using the chips as currency. Bets can be on things like certain parts of the station being destroyed, on certain players dying or surviving, etc.
Maybe the chips could have a secondary usage, but I think it would be fine if they were valueless beyond bragging rights and a fun diversion to keep you invested in rounds as a participant and spectator
