Vgstation13: Eguns are $50 each, which is too cheap

[gbasood]

Departments start with 5k.
Players start with ~500 I believe.
That means a player at roundstart has enough money in his PERSONAL ACCOUNT to open up an armory of his own.
Guns should not be that cheap.

Also, pizzas are more expensive than guns.

With the planned changes coming in the Wages PR, department accounts get 500 per paycheck, so you could do it all over again every 20 minutes

How do you fuck that up

[gbasood]

@9600bauds By not looking at the values
Doesn't matter, a crate of guns is less than a crate of pizzas, that's just terrible

Wages first, cargo price overhaul second?

All of cargo pricing is fucked and honestly the points system needs to come back anyway. And shaft miners will have lodesofmone so cargo won't care. Its basically a lose-lose to change things up right now when there's many things that effect it and will neuter any balance changes.

[gbasood]

@Probe1 Yep, that's the plan
I just want to document how ABSOLUTELY STUPID cargo prices are before I get to them

[9600bauds]

Honestly, with how cheap fucking everything is, eguns being 50$ is one of the most reasonable prices

[gbasood]

@9600bauds in terms of prices relative to eachother? Sure. In terms of actual supply/demand? Nooooooope

We have things in vending machines that cost more than that.

[9600bauds]

I was talking about Cargo prices, but that too

[SarahJohnson489]

Shelve it until econ is unfucked then balance it against the needs of nuke/blob/wiz/cult/rev. I'd rather we have too many guns too easily.

[gbasood]

@SarahJohnson489 I think that if supply guns were actually a problem for most of those modes (besides blob and wiz) then we'd see those antags hitting supply over other targets but yeah, this is still waiting till after at least one or two econ changes
