Expand the mining vendors inventory

[ThelonTV]

More often than not I find myself with 20k+ mining points left, so I'd like to hear what fellow miners think about potential "money sinks" in the vendor.

One thing I thought about was offering a space bike for about 10k.

 

Thoughts?

Progressively larger and more ludicrous mining medals so you can pin one on then feel all smug while you sit in the bar.

I play mining a lot and agree; we could use more sinks. I'd definitely be happy to implement some of the suggestions we get. A space bike is a pretty cool idea for one.

Very good KAs could also be good on those rounds where science isn't around to produce any. But that should be like a 7k+ thing to not step on their toes and make them the primary source still.

Fluff things like NT swag might also be on-brand for this sort of thing. Reward yourself by showing your NT pride!

I think a neat sink would be cosmetics for the Mining suits. Sort of like hardsuit 'skins' almost, so you can really flex how cool, and sick you look.

I love that idea  Pink hardsuit when?

We used to have mech skins, so hardsuit skins are the natural evolution now that NuMech is here. We could also add in some stuff like gormet meals to be ordered through Cargo. Maybe instead of space bikes, we add in mining speeders. Like what the TCFL get but in Cargo/Mining colors. Another fun idea is to add some of the novelty costumes/hats/etc.. Since those were removed from Cargo.

Anything that would make the mining hardsuit faster than a diona is a win in my book

 

I also just noticed last round, that instead of there just being the 500 points transfer cards, 1000 and 5000 would also be neat. Won't have to buy 10x 500 then.

We used to have lottery tickets until "some" miners decided they earn 30 grand in credits per shift  #SorryNotSorry

Seeing how ending up with 20k points is the new usual, we could just stuff entire mechs in there and deliver them via the shuttle.

Spacebikes sound nice, so do monowheels, am all for it tbh. KAs are kinda dead right now, paintjobs for rigs would be cool, but needs someone to sprite them.

I recently asked for monowheels to be added to the regular cargo order list... and it got powergamed hard. So uh, no clue how they would turn out in the mining vendor
