lol and im pretty sure thats the only reason ppl even want a vault not to help a gang but find yet another way to get favs since favs run this game lol and what i look like dumping my favs into a vault for sum1 else to take it doesnt even make sense lol

There are details to be hammered out previous to implementing this kind of system, some thoughts that are subject to change/disappear are:

1. Tabs - First Tab Free, Others Cost Favors
2. Slots - In each tab, costing cash, the more slots in the tab, the more the cost
3. Favors - Donation of favors into vault, to be used to purchase gang upgrades rather than the owner having them
4. Cash - Taxation system that can be toggled on or off that will deposit part of money earned into vault(...may not cost, say earn $100 digging in the yard, %10 goes into the vault, you get $100, vault gets $10)
5. Cash and Favors - One way transfer, into the vault, never out
6. Items - Items put into the vault stacking to some limit per slot
7. Slots - By prison, deposit the same item from three prisons, it'll take up three seperate slots.
8. Slots - Withdraw free in the prison they were deposited from, cash or favors if you cross prison boundaries
9. Gang Upgrade - Gang transport may be required to purchase to withdraw across prison lines
10. Vaults - Not safe, some mechanic will be in place. Either gang raids, or gang rumbles, or something. Vaults will not be "lawls free safe storage".

Things may change, and probably will before it's implemented. But just something to chew on.

good shit cant wait..

not understanding some of these like the one way transfer...we can put in but never withdraw??? what is the use of the vault then? also if ur saying th vault is just to use on upgrades (for your gang) again y would i risk putting favs ina vault that that can be raided i can just hold and use myself when i have enough? its just seeming like ur going to put effort into something unecessary....just trying to figure out how this vault then will be a pro more than a con sorry if im not understanding correctly

You can withdraw, it just costs if you're withdrawing cross-prison.

Favors would never be raidable.

lol well than that cleared up 2 of my misunderstandings hahaha thx KT

withdraw of cash or items or both?..like a gang member in nj could deposit small waters..we pay a fee and withdraw them in south dakota and do away with runners?

edit..i dont mind either way..just wondering

Sounds like it to me...

Favors

Currently, to add something to a gang, the leader of the gang buys it with their favors. There have been requests to buy things and have other members pay the favor cost. So the vault may have a currency section, allowing users to donate favors into it. If this were in place, then any gang upgrades would use favors in the vault to pay for things, instead of requiring the leader to spend their favors.

Pros: Vehicle to spread the cost out if desired

Cons: Leader would have to deposit favors to buy stuff first, adding an extra step to it

Favors would be one way because the gang vault isn't intended to function to transfer favors around. Favors can be put in, favors can be used to buy upgrades, favors can't be taken out. It's not intended to be a favor bank.

Cash

The current thought, is that this will be garnered from your gang members income. When they dig and find cash, the vault gets some. When the mug someone else, the gangs gets some cash. When you commit crimes, the gang gets some cash. This will most likely be a constant on effect, but not actually take your cash. You dig up $100, you still get $100, but the vault gets $5-10 too saved up on it.

The gangs cash could then be used to purchase the additional slots in a vault tab, and possible other things in the future.

You wouldn't be able to withdraw this cash, because it's not intended be "bonus money".

Pro: By playing the game, your gang could accumulate cash to use for upgrades.

Con: Why can't I take out moneys. It may be called something besides cash then. Gang Points. Unicorn Mushrooms.

Currency In Vaults

Currency in a gang vault is intended to be used to upgrade gangs. Not to be used to transfer between players, not as a second bank because you're other bank is full and you don't want to lose money. Cash in the vault may be subject to whatever raiding mechanism ends up in place, but favors wouldn't be.

Items

Items deposited in a vault, would be withdrawable. Items deposited would know where they came from, if you were in South Dakota and you deposited Fluffy Bunny Slippers, you or someone else in South Dakota could take them out at no cost. Someone in New Jersey could take them out too, but at this point you're crossing prison lines and there would be a cost associated with it. One thought is that consumables would cost cash to transfer, while other items would have a favor cost associated with them.

That cost remains to be determined, and it's possible that it's set to be higher than what a runner would charge intentionally.

What a Vault Will Not Be

Safe un-raidable storage.

Personal massage service

Free bank space to deposit extra cash into.

Transferring favors easily

OMG [Jerk's Name Here] STOLE ALL THE FAVORS FROM THE VAULT AND QUIT THE GANG

Not Final

Again, we're still hashing out the final design work, so all of the above could quite possibly be altered, changed, scrapped, impregnated, a fever induced dream, or what have you. This exists to let you know something is coming, and an idea of what it is, even if the final form ends up being different.

No it will not end up being a pony.
