# Lava lamps. 
Pretty self explanatory as to what these are and what they’ll do, contribute to the atmosphere of a room. Perhaps they’ll give mood boosts to those in a 5x5 of it?

Alright, imagine this. You guys know that detective that has the glasses which allows him to plant a pocket thing and lets him watch it through his glasses? Now imagine that but as a technology or something along those lines.
You could develop bugs which would transmit audio from certain locations to a headset / device if you’ve had it.

## More use for computers. Why should I have one? Well, welcome to the internet! We now have incentives to make laptops, tablets and computers, such as:
Contacts offering jobs (aka, get x and bring it to Y for payout or something
Ability to customize your background?? (90’s / vaporwave time)
Downloadable music that cost credits (but you can pirate it with an emag or something along those lines)
Access to the newscaster (read below for more information as to why),
Buy those chips that nobody uses but we can find a use for
 Motion detector (big storage take up, lots of “lag” / input slow. Walking disables it’s ability?)
IMPORTANT: BASICALLY ADD A PART THATS A SMALL 3D PRINTER. I’m willing to pay 15 credits into my computer for a cig, and the future is now old man (items used would be incredibly small / useless.)
Gambling (literally just put the slots thing into here

## Self surgery kit.
This has gone on far too long. Many a day has gone by where my shit was fucked, my ghetto ass has been fucked, and I needed to fix my leg but a splint wouldn’t do. I needed to replace a liver or pull out my appendix. Say no more to cancer in a box!
Essentially, this item would be a small kit that would allow you to perform surgery on yourself, at a cost. This cost could range from a lot of things, but the main idea is either:
A: You’ll be able to just work on yourself anywhere, by yourself, standing upright. 
B: Hologram/esc sorta deal where your right by your body and only have access to the surgery tools you put in the box beforehand, destroying it in the process?
Effects that could occur throughout surgery:
Large burst of stamina damage
Electricity burst, electricuting them
Mutation (bad)
Radiation
Liver failure
Brain damage
Brain trauma
Random reagent entering the body from a faulty leak
Fuzzy eye vision
Drugged
Hallucinating 
Deep slash
Accidentally giving yourself clumsy
Addiction
Some new organ in your body, who knows what it is.
Xeno.
Snail eyes

OR ALLOW US TO LAY DOWN ON A TABLE AMD DO SURGERY TO OURSELVES. Have a possibility to pass out to pain for like three minutes or something though.

Augmentation that allows self surgery(?)


### Newscaster!
Possibly useless but not anymore! How do I know where space ruins are or what the local gossip is? I don’t know, the newspaper literally tells me one thing and that it’s whatever shift. What we should get is this:
the ramblings of a fucking insane man
Literal propaganda
News reports of shit not occurring in our galaxy.. and in our galaxy but never specifying.
Possible locations to ruins or planets, or just nowhere. 50/50!
A literal advertisement board to it. For those who want to run a kitchen or offer jobs or some shit. 
Oh boy. More misinformation.
Be able to print out mail here? (Literally no other way to get mail currently. And I want me fucking mail.)
Poster printing (the computer to print shit, the library computer. I’ve only seen it two times, one on that syndicate ship and the library in the fucking religious ship. Each time, I have not seen them used.)
Literally more reason for a ghost role to exist. To be a shut off in space, taking pictures or whatnot, reporting what’s happening and where with things being sent in
Printable manuals on how to do jobs to help the new folks(?)

### Pamphlets 
as maint loot would be nice / cave loot would be nice.
Your walking along and you find.. what’s this? A pamphlet talking about the syndicate and how Nanotrasen can not fly but are able to because they do not care about the laws of pysch OC’s.
Talking about the environment, about the atmosphere and how these mining ships are taking away from the planet!!
Literally the fucking recipes to that secret chem recipes
The recipe books that are literally unfindable but pamphlet form (TALLYHO LAD! Maint cannon and skull shit. More crafting stuff means we’ll need ways to achieve it. This would be cool.)

### Walkmans
MAKE THE WALKMANS ATTACHABLE TO THE EAR OR CAPE SLOT. I DO NOT WANNA CARRY IT IN MY HAND WHEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT IT WHERE IT BELONGS.

## Quality of life
Helmets with slots to carry cigs, pack of cards and all that: might require more sprite worl but damn it if that wouldn’t be cool.

### Arcades
I think we should have both more games and prizes for arcade games, as they are one of the few things I see rarely of. This is both possibly for arcades and tablets / laptops.  Perhaps we should be able to have two player games of pong where we could also place money on it. Rewards should also include walkmans, EXCLUSIVE CONTENT TO THIS SUCH AS NEAT SPRITES FOR THE WALKMAN,
unique sprites for walkman (probably can do this.)
Exclusive tapes for walkman (could probably get a shit ton of arcade stuff / song centered stuff)
YOU KNOW THOSE TICKETS/ VOUCHERS WHERE YOU GET STUFF FROM VENDORS? That but for the arcade machine, where you could get them and make a separate machine which would allow you to buy certain prizes / small unique content. Candy, action figures for the collection, unique clothing you can’t get elsewhere (centcom), 
Games that I’m relatively sure could be easy to program in: ghetto Pac-Man (make it tide n hide, where the sprite is a warden or seccies and the loot is insulted gloves?)
That alien invader game (throw NT, solgov or syndicate on it and we’ll be gold).
Connect 4.
Chess(??? Probably hard but would be nice to play)
Snake


## Quirk problems
We should have a flaw that allows you to take one arm off. There is no reason for this but let’s be honest, it would be good challenge.
FIX SCHIZOPHRENIA. SCHIZOPHRENIA (reality dissociation disorder) urgently needs to be updated. As somebody who constantly plays with it, hearing about things that should be going on with a station in my head instead of the ship is hurtful to the experience. When somebody else hallunicates, they should be worried and fearful, not confused.
Allow for different tints to go aboard them


## PAI's
Make PAI’s more useful / more fun to play as.
why would I want to be able to Barry interact?
Let them play walkman songs
Let them have access to the audio to text recordings of famous shows, playing as they go through the planet
Allow them to do a distress beacon to bring people to their rescue
They should be able to 3d print cigs (storage)
Allow them to play sound effects.
Allow them to play arcade games
Newscaster access
Motion detector


## Cargo shuttles
You know those bothersome things that come from cargo shuttle? We should be able to have those land nearby our ship. Going back to newscaster / computers, we give them different prompts, we are opening a fucking world of content to people we currently don’t use.



## Ciggs n drugs
WE NEED MORE CIG BRANDS / MORE REAGANTS IN THEM. Right now there is bare-to-none reason to be a smoker asides the small mood bonus and omnizine if you get syndicate brand:
We need some that are stock full of space drugs; maint drugs, crack pipes, and other chemicals! A “blank” packet of cigs that’s essentially maint pills but in cigs. More brand more royalty.
Ashtrays are more needed. More drugs and alcohol and more accessibility. Why shouldn’t I find cigs in the apoc cave? 

## Color changing lights
Color changing lights / flickering light, or color changing spray paint / neon paint. It shouldn’t be too hard and it’s be cool. 

## Darts
I think we should have darts. It would add a small weapon / allow for us to fucking do bar games if we had a dart board.



## Leadpipes
Leadpipes should have distinct noises , and we should be able to make them in autolathe. 

## Implants??
hotline Miami increased damage melee can’t have exosuit slot be used, will crumble like a fucking fouton. Incompatible with other martial arts. 
Bluetooth implant. Makes you play instrument or walkman. Explodes your eardrums if ioned.
Literally space drug effect but forever. Upside? You get forever bonus to your mood
Boxing glove affect. Inability to grab and push, but replaced with punchy punchy




Get rid of the bounty board and put this into the newscaster, or put this in
People who have pissed off the server or a person should be able to place bounties on other players. Make them bring heads to the setter if the bounty
Make this useful
Make npc want x to y??



## Ghetto tools
We have syndicate tools, alien tools, borg tools, and regular tools. There is no tool for the regular tider who has nothing to use and is or on a planet by themselves with a pickaxe and a dream. We should have tools that are literally as shitty as the improv pickaxe.
Blood+metal+metal rod = screwdriver that’s being held together by fucking dried blood
Hammer is literally a piece of iron attached to a grafted thing you hold
Wirecutters have a chance of cutting you, made with.. uhhhh fucking bones?? 
Multi-tool probably should shock you or give you radiation 
Wrench is known to come loose


We need more things to come from fungus.

## Black mold?
A patch of it may occur in places, on food, etc. it would most likely be similar to xeno resin. It would probably be a negative mood thing, and it would put a random disease effect into the body, or brain trauma.

## Sprinklers?
Sprinklers would be great for this sort of environment we are in currently, which encourages us to go do other things. An idea on how to make this work would be for it 
A: Attachable to a fire system / that atmos thing in chips which controls the ships fire locks, allowing it to spray some water to cover a fire, depending on what chemicals were put in / water. Anything other then water uses foam?
B: 5x5 or 4x4 area or 3x3 area around it which would be slowly watered with what chemicals is in it

## Ghost role monkey on jungle planet? Yes.
Banana phone (reskinned station bounced radio?). Banana gun. 

## Phones
Speaking of phones, we should have telephones similar to the ones on CM. It would make life a helluva lot easier if we could have a phone to use during our time on the ship instead of being stuck to a holopad, it’d be great.

## Barricades
, barbed wire and galore. We need entrenchments, the real stuff. We have sand bags; but having more then just thought would be amazing: how can you deter people from getting onto your ship! Barbed wire. 
What’s a temporary defense? Barricades.
Not the current type which is basically a wooden wall but with less steps.

Make landmines landmines instead of a chem nade? 

Barrels, asides fermenting, should be used for something. AND I HAVE THE SOLUTION.
We need wine to be able to age. Have wine, if aged in a barre, be able to be sold.
