CrAzYPiLoT Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 We introduce vending tokens. There are two token machines on the station. One in arrivals and one in the bar. You swipe your ID card through the machine, choose how many and what value tokens you want and they pop out. Then you take those tokens to a vending machine. No more paying with ID card(except for laptop, ridiculous amounts of tokens for one laptop), and it is bugged anyway. You just click pay and it doesn't take any funds from your account, but pops out the product. Maybe we could even give everyone a starting amount of tokens varying on the importance of their job and the amount of funds on their accounts (civvies 10, captain 35?). Emagging the token machines would give the ability to take larger amounts of tokens and larger value tokens (e.g 100 or 200). One token would be worth 2 credits. Thoughts?

veganzombeh Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong, but your suggestion is to create a new currency specifically for vending machines? That seems a bit unnecessary and even more tedious than paying with your ID.

FalseIncarnate Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Tokens for general vending seems redundant given the fact that your ID doubles as a debit/credit card. However, tokens for use in perhaps an arcade makes plenty of sense. In fact, a while back I had been discussing the idea of creating an actual arcade that operates off of tokens and prize tickets, with a special machine that converts tickets into physical prizes you can select. But having to purchase tokens just to buy a can of cola seems really tedious and would encourage people to either hack the machines or simply not use them.

CrAzYPiLoT Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 Nevermind than, let's change the topic. What about the arcade thing? Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/4031-vending-tokens/#findComment-26897 Share on other sites More sharing options...
