[REQUEST] Slot-o-Matic Tracking #8

Open TangledLion opened 9 months ago

TangledLion commented 9 months ago

This is probably a big ask, but I'd like to request support for the Slot-o-Matic Drawback from the UDS.

Slot-o-matic [+200]: While you gain the normal amount of CP in each jump, you only gain 250 JP per jump (awarded at the start of the Jump). JP can be used to buy slots of a specific size, and can be banked. If you buy a 200 JP Slot, you can stick a 200 CP perk into it. Only perks you’ve bought in the current jump or perks in slots can be used in your current jump, all other perks are considered inactive and have no effect. You can swap out the contents of slots no more than once a week and it requires an hour’s meditation per slot being swapped. Once a slot has been bought, its size is fixed permanently. The size of the perk is determined by how much you paid for it (including discounts), but Freebies require a Freebie Slot which always costs 50 JP to buy and can hold 1 Freebie with value no higher than 400 CP (before discounts). Big Freebie Slots cost 100 JP and can hold any size freebies. In Jumps like Dishonored, where you gain access to a non-CP ability like the Outsider’s Mark, or Harry Potter where you gain magic just for being there, treat those as 200 CP Perks. Alt-forms require Freebie Slots. Perks that grant you a skill and have no other effect are exempt from the need to slot them. Drawbacks can be taken for 50% of their CP value in JP instead (These Drawbacks still count at full value for Drawback Limits). You automatically start with Two Freebie Slots, One 100 CP Slot, and One 200 CP Slot. Chain-Only. No Hiatus.

Specifically when I say I want support for it, here's what I think that means

If this seems like too much work for a feature you don't feel like implementing then no biggie. Just figured I'd share the desire.

I believe I have actually received a suggestion to implement this sort of feature in the past. Unfortunately, my position is that this sort of thing would be a bit out of scope for my project. I won't outright deny this request though, and perhaps later on I can look into the subject and see if it would fit.
