More roles (idea thread)

[Pixeltheaertist]

We need more unique roles, simple as that. If we don't all that's gonna happen is people are gonna play salvage to explore the ocean and no one else will want to play the other roles. We need some platform-side roles, maybe a few RP roles, more interesting jobs to keep people platform-side and inside Sweetwater.

ideas that i've got:

Fisherman:

• Hunting fish outside sweetwater for the chef, or a fishing system for the ocean surface once i get around to adding that)

Trader:

• The platform has an empty trading post, we can use it for something. Let players set up shops and somehow get materials to trade with other players. PRIVATE BUISNESSES REJOICE!!!

Oceanic nomad:

• A rugged group that spawns out in the water. They aren't like settlers living in a cozy HAB unit, they live just out there in a moving caravan across the depths (for those fuckin powergamers to have something to do without ruining salvage)((also could be cool RP))

Prisoner of War:

• see #43 for more info

Hydroculturist

• see #42 and #41 for more info

Marine Biologist

• Part of the science department, would do something with the ocean's many lifeforms and maybe (?) plankton or something? Maybe somehow uses them to gain research points. (or a reskinned zookeeper :P)

Scout

• Gets a weak-but-fast pressure suit and ComTags, which if they find a Point of Interest, they can place it down for the larger and slower salvage teams to track for dismantling. They'd somehow need a way to not be a faster salvage tech, though.

I am half tempted to add some sort of petrochem for energy stuff. Kinda a mix of engi and chem, could be interesting idk

Interesting! Well fun fact, there's actually a system that makes it so fish are processed into fish oil, which when mixed with hydroxide makes welding fuel. Some kind of power processing thing could be cool, although the artifact currently powers everything currently.

i love the idea of a processing job though, i love that kind of role where it's just make a ton of cool thing through satisfying system

some kinda bell operator? like if you know that one thalassaphobia game where a guy operates the bell on the oil rig, making sure they come up safely
