Lore Impact (Small/Medium/Large): Small?
Species: General
Short Description: More options for rooms on the Horizon
How will this be reflected on-station?: This gives people the option to have their characters bunked with others
Does this addition do anything not achieved by what already exists?: I don't think so
Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team? Yup
Long Description:
A fairly simple suggestion here:
Bunk Dormitory: Same size as single Dormitory room, folding bed is replaced with bunk bed. You can arrange to bunk with a person of your choice, but if that isn't possible you may be paired with a random person. Cheaper then a single dorm room.
Bunk Cubicle: Same as bunk dorm, but with a cubicle room, price is cheaper then single cubicle, but you share it with someone.
Bunkroom: Absolute cheapest of the options. A simple, fairly small room with 4 bunks against the walls, hosting 8 crew inside it (or possibly 3 bunks hosting 6 crew). Spare space has storage lockers for each of the room's residents. As with dorms and cubicles, these make use of communal living rooms and bathrooms.
IPC storage closet: Only available to IPCs, obviously, this is simply a tiny room with a charging bay and some shelving inside for a small amount of storage. Many owned IPCs are kept in these, and self-owned IPCs may choose to use one for a lower price compared to other rooms.
In addition to these, I am pushing the idea that communal living rooms also have communal kitchen areas for people living in bunkrooms/dorms to prepare food.
As I was making this Zha also gave the idea of hot bunking being a possible thing, which could also make a room even cheaper by someone else using your bed when you're not sleeping in it.
