I think it would be better to have other money sink, like faction support, charging for feats or extra skillpoints.
I like these ideas, a lot.
And i have to agree with
DarkWan when he says that its only a issue at the begging.
After the
GMS compound things start to go smoother.
I'am going to do a gunner without any other weapon skills and psy powers and see how it goes.
Edit: Okay i just did the
outposts quest with just the 5mm pistol and it was a breeze. I was lucky and got a second
5mm pistol in one of the outposts so i didn't had to repair even once. If finding another pistol makes a big difference perhaps we could start with a free
Mechanical Repair Kit in one of our room lockers.
I am going to do the
'hopper round up' before i hit the
GMS compound, but so far things are going easier than with my
Sledgehammer+Psychokinesis guy. I have 1008
SGS credits right now. More than enough for plenty of repair kits.
