Suggestion
Type:POB Plugin / Economy / Other
Title: Make POBs manufacture more things.

Specifics
  • POBs being given the ability to manufacture codenames
  • Theoretically replace the existing scidata system, with minimal effect to other development departments (sysdev)
  • If not replace the existing scidata system, then cooperating with it through manufacturing. (EX. "research modules" that output scidata after a certain amount of time and resource investment)
Potential Problems
  • Devaluing of scidata weapons through increased presence. (The plebs get more access to the rich people special stuff)
  • Shifting more gameplay-related items behind the gate of POB ownership/interaction
  • Creating more incentive to create POBs in general, theoretically hampering server performance if taken to an extreme
  • Increased paperwork for GMs
Example of Effect
Faction A wants say, Maulers.
Faction A starts roleplay concerning the research of facilities for manufacturing specialized weapons of a given type (Restricted to ship class, maybe? 'Price bracket?')
After a (currently) nonspecific amount of scribbling, the faction files for a blueprint request in order to create a module to manufacture Maulers, or whatever else may be related.
When granted, the blueprint is constructed. Faction A can now manufacture Maulers after a notable investment of resources and time, and potentially build a stockpile for fitting ships further down the line.

Further Discussion
[+]Spoiler
The example primarily focuses on scidata weapons, and the majority of this suggestion does as well. This is more a result of there simply not being much current content that can be repurposed for minimal labor outside of the existing scidata system than say, the idea that scidata prices are unreasonable. Which they definitely are, it's absurd.

However, there are a grand total of three different things you can do with POBs. Store things, use them as a checkpoint (I'm looking at you, Manhattan), and use them to manufacture a grand total of two categories of item (Cloaks and JD-related items). This suggestion, if taken into account, could potentially kill two birds with one stone, increasing the intrinsic value of POBs by broadening what they can produce, as well as re-purposing a system that is not particularly well liked by the community.

This would also tie into the idea that specialized POBs are desirable, as mentioned earlier in the thread. It would incentivize particularly militaristic factions (read: FILTHY GOD DAMN SIEGER BULLIES) to invest in their own holdings, in order to gain access to more practical items that suit their needs better than cloaks and jump drives. At least, theoretically. People tend to appreciate guns that do interesting things and/or big numbers more than say, going invisible and making somebody's smoke alarm go nuts in the background because someone else is feeling a bit cheeky in a radius of ~3 kilometers. Or *teleports behind you* shenanigans.

Of course, this could also devolve into about 3 different POBs selling the vast majority of scidata-related items to all comers. Which is definitely, totally reasonable and not at all going to devolve into even more clique-related faffing about.

I would also like to keep in mind I have experience, largely, in siege participation and supplying POBs. I have never owned one, and thus don't have the experience to talk more specifically about what can be done in terms of say, module design and resource/time costs.

Oh, yeah, and this suggestion was also made because it's really hard to say things that haven't already been said before by other people in the same thread.
