Suggestions / Constantine Component Requests
« on: January 19, 2023, 02:01:42 pm »
With Oculus being an organization that has operations all around the Underrail and the willingness to do anything for a price, from solving a murder mystery to infiltrating an entirely different society to steal a single battery. I would find it interesting to include the ability to pay an upfront price to receive a random quality component of your specifications from Constantine.
It'd act similar to Super Steel or Refurbishment, and you could only order a single component at a time. After you pay a 500 to 750 charon upfront price, a 30 to 45 minute timer begins, and once that's over you can get your item by speaking to Constantine. Quality range is equivalent to Constantine's range, but hitting Constantine's mercantile checks of 55 and 95 gives you a guaranteed quality floor, like Refining Data.
The intention of this is to give a way to acquire items you might have been unlucky enough to not get in good qualities, while also not outperforming specialized merchants that will give you a potentially much higher ceiling. The high price point, or at least a high price for a single component, is to balance the versatility of ordering any component you need and to keep it as a more niche option.
