Ok so i know that filling the empty buildings is on the long list of "things to do" for CK and on that line i had an idea for some if them specifically the warehouses
It's kind of always bothered me that there were all thes warehouses in the NBZ everything from arms to medical supplies to street drugs. And yet they are essentially empty... sooo what if they weren't
when u "enter" a warehouse instead of just the leave button u could hv an "attempt to bypass security" option... taking this option would lead to an encounter similar if not identical to the phracking encounter (electronic locks and all) if u pass u get a number of "crates" opening a crate gives u a somewhat random item based on the warehouse and faction it came from i.e. military warehouses always drop guns/armor and medical warehouse drop medikits/proffessional drugs etc etc... obviously mega-corp warehouses drop much better stuff than gang warehouses... of course there is always the option of kicking the door in and ignoring security measures guaruanteeing that guards will come
Possible Consequences in the NBZ... HEAT a major theft in the area causes guards and patrols to be on high alert even in neighboring zones... BAD REP if u get caught (i.e. fail or ignore security measures and kill guards and then fail intimidate/stealth exit) u will lose a large amount of rep with faction owning the warehouse because duh u stole from them... RUMORS raiding warehouses will obviously hv a large impact on shortage events in the current and adjacent zones for a long time after raid also frequent raids is likely to cause taxi lockdowns as well... oh and one more thing u cant just spam raid the same warehouse repeatedly *theoretically u can go through the break in steps again after 8 hours or so but u would not get anymore loot it would be at least a week before the warehouse got another shipment of goods
*of course all balance issues are at the discression of TB this is just my thought for an initial stab at balance
