Supply crates: Difference between revisions

Supply Crates are ordered at [[Cargo Bay]] by either a [[Cargo Technician]] or the [[Quartermaster]]. You can also send them a request via [[PDA]] or the [[Requests Console]]. More crates can be found around the station.

====Give Onto the QM his Dues====

The [[Quartermaster]] can order a [[#Crates|whole lot of crates]] and he usually wants the crate back after you've taken your supplies. They are worth a certain amount of points which can be used to get more supplies for the station's whole benefit. The quartermasters like it when people bring crates, and will often give things without hassle to people with crates brought in.

====Crate Locks and Access====

==Making Money==

Cargo budget starts off with 5,000 credits. This is the budget you use to buy crates, and this is where money from exports ends up. The QM can access this budget with the departmental card (Cargo Budget) found in his/her bag. If the QM has lost the budget card, you can also insert space cash into the bank machine in the [[Vault|vault]] to make it go directly into the cargo budget. The [[Quartermaster]] can enter the vault by using the supply door remote, found in the QM's locker.  

===Exports===

You can receive credits by shipping items back to CentCom. Examples:  

<br>

Crates are money. [[Maintenance|Find them]]. Hoard them greedily. [[Teleporter|Steal]] [[Security Office|them]] [[Construction Area|if]] [[Engineering|need]] [[Hydroponics|be]]. The more crates you send back, the more stuff you can order. Other things are money, too. If you think about, the station is really just a huge pile of money. Experiment! You can use your Export Scanner once linked with a Cargo Console to verify the price of an item before you export it. Just because you think a good <i>might</i> be worth something doesn't mean that CentCom wants it!

===Bounties===

The Nanotrasen bounty console can be checked for a list of bounties. These are items you can ship for one time credit rewards. Most of them may require cooperation from other departments. You can print the list. After you have delivered a bounty to CentCom, you must go to the Bounty Console and click "Claim" on the completed entry to receive the reward. You can scan an item with your Export Scanner to see if it's eligable for a bounty.  

==Ordering Crates==

To spend the money you made, you need to order crates. The price of these crates is pulled from the cargo budget on departure from CentCom, unless you use [[#Buying_Directly|Buy Directly]].  

===Buying Directly===

Anyone placing an order at a supply console or supply request console has the choice to click the '''Buy Directly''' button. Doing so will charge money directly from that person's worn ID, instead of from the cargo budget. It will cost a 10% extra fee (which goes to the cargo budget), and the crate will be access-restricted to the buyer instead of having its ordinary access requirement.  

===Supply Drop Pods===

Once Mining Technology has been researched, you are able to print an Express Supply Console computer board from the cargo [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development#Techfab|techfab]]. Building an Express Supply Console and then swiping it with a QM-level ID card will unlock an interface similar to the Supply Console. Ordering any crate with this console will have it delivered instantly with a drop pod. The drop pod causes a fiery explosion. The drop location will be a random spot in Cargo Bay, unless you [[Emag#Express_supply_console|emag]] it, or print a Supply Pod Beacon for 500 credits. You can use the console to change the drop location to that of the last printed beacon. Printing a new beacon will make the first beacon permanently useless. Use teamwork to have one person take the beacon to locations where crates need to be delivered, while the other person orders the crate. The drop pods themselves must be dismantled with a [[Engineering_items#Welding_Tool|welder]].  

====Upgrading the Supply Drop Pods====

Once Bluespace Travel has been researched, the cargo [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development#Techfab|techfab]] will be able to print a Supply Drop Pod Upgrade Disk. Inserting this disk into the Express Supply Console will upgrade its drop pods by making their explosion size smaller, and making them automatically teleport out after landing. After upgrading you must unlock the console again and print a new beacon.
