Systems: Outfit Shared Resource Pool

[Seagoon]

A rather simple idea that would provide another advantage to working together in an organised outfit:

Each member of the outfit is 'taxed' a certain percentage of the resources they gain personally and these resources are sent to an outfit resource pool.

The outfit leader would be able to decide how much each member is taxed (maybe nothing, maybe everything, anything inbetween) and can also decide how the resources are redistributed.

For example: the outfit leader could say that every player has to be taxed 10% of their resources gained and they are avalible in the pool to only the 'Gal-pilot' outfit rank to make use of. This way the outfits Dropship pilots would have to worry less about being stuck needing to do their job but with out the resources to do it.

Another more complicated example might be:
Everyone is taxed 100% their resources, but 10% of the pool is avalible to the outfit leaders, 30% to the drivers and pilots, and then the rest is free for any other outfit role to make use of.

Obviously this could be used in rather a bad way to tax members resources and then funnel them to just the leader, but frankly, why are you in an outfit like that in the first place o.O

few things wrong with this:

1) should be a voluntary donation for members. no one will join an outfit for fear that all their resources would go poof the second they join.

2) should only be a common pool of resources with a maximum withdrawal amount set by the outfit leader. again, to mitigate fear that hard earned resources will disappear if some asshat joins the guild, takes them all, and leaves.

has some merit otherwise.

without this leaders have motivation to keep members well supplied by doing ops and such.

with that why should leaders care with an automatic drain on 100 peoples accounts they will never run out.

I don't quite see the point of this system. This whole idea can be done easily with the systems they already have. If you have Gal pilots and you are planning a huge combined arms effort, people in certain roles should be aware of what resources they need to pull the necessary vehicles and tools.

Why should you need outfit resources to get 8 galaxies when you can just have your Gal pilots save resources and pull these themselves.
Adding outfit pools restricts people's use of their resources in other areas when they are playing more casually.

People can easily manage their resources themselves to be sure they have what is necessary when they need it.
