sdtwbaj Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Basically give people something to do with credits. Shop keep, stick the shop centrally in the station, by the bar etc. They're part of service, two of them operate and they sell shit. Tools, food, whatever you need. Maybe they work out deals with botany and the chef to sell those types of wares. It could be karma locked, but really it's a good newbie job.

Coldflame Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 There's already the 'trader' and 'businessman' civilian titles for this. Pretty much anything someone would need that's above-board can be gotten for free or found. I don't mean to shoot this one down, but I'm honestly not sure if this warrants being a job.

sdtwbaj Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 I realise I didn't elaborate on mannequins. Basically immobile humanoid for clothing display.

This would be a good way to get roleplay going. Make vendors more scarce, and give peeps a reason to check it out.

Cupcakes_n_Hacksaws Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Sounds like there needs to be more ways of "opening up a shop" instead of an entire job devoted to it. Anything a "trader" can acquire is usually not really relevant to anyone's interests.

alexpkeaton Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I don't know. I think something like this could be a boon for the Supply Department. Perhaps by selling gear and things from the autolathe, credits could be exchanged for supply points. Perhaps additional crates of random fluff could be ordered and stocked. Reports to the QM. I think this could be distinct from Trader and Businessman.

Da Dman234 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 This would be a great idea if we didn't have such a simple economic system. It would make cargo a much more interesting job. Unfortunately though, with the current way credits work it's simply not possible. You'd be unable to make any large purchases, and would in general just be better off scrounging whatever it is up from around the station Link to comment https://www.paradisestation.org/forum/topic/6770-a-new-job-shopkeep-featuring-mannequins/#findComment-56887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
