Earning, saving and spending money. Also giving research a purpose

[vtipoman]

hey I don't know how to start this so here we go

Give each character a procedural bank account that saves between rounds

Make players earn money for their character by using that character during a round

Allow players to spend the money on shift-start items or other goodies

Change the ammount obtained based on the % of time actually spent playing the shift on that character AND the station's Total earnings

"Total earnings" is the sum of work the research division carried out during a round. (Inventing items, reaching new research levels, breeding new slimes, creating new plants, discovering artifacts, etc)

Give the department heads the ability to administer bonuses to individual crewmembers

"THE ECONOMY" is currently in the conceptual development phase. Meaning, a developer is writing up a design document to present for review. Once that document is approved, it'll be put into active development.

Due to the size of the project, however, it'll take a bit of time to reach implementation.
