Improving crimes
Post: #1
I think it would be a good addition to the game if you add more diversity to the payoffs of crimes. Instead of always getting cash from your crimes, make it so there's a small chance of getting items, some trash to sell, some useable. For instance, if I break into a trailer, there could be a 1% chance that you find a beat up pistol that you could use. There could be a 5% chance of finding stimpak, and a 20 item of finding junk like "a leg lamp" or "a Billy Bass" that you could sell for a couple bucks. This pistol would be of mediocre quality, basically a low level pistol that wouldn't be better than a pistol you could buy, but would be useful for poor players until they buy a better quality one from the store.

Suggestions for things you could get from each crime:

Con Games and Fraud Action Point Cost (no changes since you are just playing for money)
Three Shells Con Game 1
Two Dice Con Game 1
Coin Con 2


Burglary Action Point Cost
Car 4 ( junk items - car stereos, air freshener. weapons - "The Club", a tire iron)
Trailer 5 ( junk items - box of pez dispensors, crate of "Bunty soap". weapons - Box cutter)
Mobile Home 6 (junk items - "Billy Bass", Redneck comedy tour video. Armor - Get 'er dun t-shirt)
House 7 ( junk items - TV, DVD player. weapons - handgun, butcher's knife)

Robbery Action Point Cost (once again, mainly money crimes, though you can also get credit cards/membership cards that sell for cash along with jewelry)
Simple Mugging 3
Targeted Mugging 4
Group Mugging 6

Pickpocketting Action Point Cost (same as mugging, minute the jewelry)
Drifter 3
Tourist 4
Monorail Station 5
Decatur International Airport 6

Shoplifting Action Point Cost
Liquor Store 3 (junk items - Booze. weapons - broken bottle, corkscrew)
Discount Drug Store 4 (useable items - low level stimpaks)

Drug Crimes Action Point Cost (no clue on what to do with these)
Simple Meth Lab 7
Complex Meth Lab 22

Computer Crimes Action Point Cost

Steal a car 12 (makes travel to industrial district free)
Steal a classic car 16 (makes travel to rural area free)
Steal a luxury car 18 (makes travel to the place after rural area free)

yeah, but only for the same amount the other cars from that crime level would be worth.
