Point Sinks

[Mono 9 / 1,655]

Some of us have tens of thousands of points racked up and nothing to spend them on except a handful of cheap playermodels. We should really have something else to spend these on, so I came up with a few things.

 

Tokens - These would guarantee that something will happen. They should all be VERY pricey though so that the whole server isn't using them all the time. There should also be a thing that prevents too many people from using tokens.

• SCP Tokens: These tokens guarantee you to be an SCP next round. The SCP should be random though, it just feels better that way.
• CI Token - If there are enough players, you can buy this token to ensure you will be the undercover CI agent in the MTF guards.
• MTF Tokens: You are 100% likely to be the MTF Commander next round.
• NTF/CI Spawn Token - The next wave of NTF or CI to come in will include you.

 

MTF/CI/NTF Loadouts - Tired of spawning with a trashy gun? Hate everyone taking all the good guns and ammo in the armory? Buy a loadout and you'll spawn with a weapon of choice along with good amounts of ammunition.

• Researchers and Class Ds and SCPs cannot use loadouts (for obvious reasons)
• Price would depend on what weapon you are wanting.
• Can replace the weapon commands in console that almost nobody uses.
• Work one time only. You have to buy it again afterwards (this way the entire team doesn't spawn with AKs 24/7)

 

Anything else I came up with was a bit too wacky and stupid, but these two things seemed pretty nice.

I really don't want to do this again.

Probably not

Maybe just MTF? Doesn't need to be commander to allow more than one person to use.

Would simply increasing the chance of this happening instead of making it 100% be acceptable?

This used to be accessible using the br_mtfntf_weapon command, however it was disabled after the TFA update, I plan on re-adding it, but something with pointshop might be possible.

Although, I do agree with your thoughts on how everyone has stacked points and all but I agree with @Xy_‘s thought process on the “Token” suggestion. We had it before and it did not work well.  Overall great suggestion, @Mono!
