So I have been looking on all the company specials, I noticed they got quite good compared to ones that were on beginning (kudos to the Torn team for that!). But what sticks into my eyes is the Salt Shaker of Mining Company that is by far the most useless company special I ever seen but like seriously.

You get an item that does nothing and nobody buys cause its, well, useless.

Dunno what went wrong there, well I do - I assume it was supposed to be a rarity for trading but it failed.

Anyway this my proposition for rework:

Dark (Salty) Sight - Passive = +20% Accuracy or +6% Critical Hit Rate

Lore: You are in mine, all darkness around you and salt dust so your eyesight gets improved! (spare of comments it should get worse)

Alot of companies have 3 passives or even 4 so its ok.

The bonuses are top mods bought-able at missions - so basically it isn't much except it isn't limited to one weapon (maybe too powerful???)

As it might be too powerful I also suggest (AS A MUST) swapping that one (level 1 company) with Preserved Meat - 25 points - Boost current life to 150% of maximum (level 10 company) considering that is also not really that much of a powerful company special but should be rather basic.

Anyway that is MY suggestion, and to be honest I don't like it much but couldn't think of anything better at the moment.

 

So let's make this thread mostly about voting of Salt Shaker special being reworked (to something not useless) on the first place.


 

Just in case anyone likes my suggestion I'll make a 3 option poll to see people's opinion

I'd like for Salt Shakers to act similar to Dog Poop, Stink Bombs or Toilet Paper, seeing as their ostensible purpose is to be sent to super mad people.

In terms of intention, I don't think there was any, I'm sure Ched just thought it'd be funny to have a useless item you can send to taunt people. No doubt he knows the rule of supply and demand and wouldn't theme a job special around the denial of that rule.

I think it's important to remember too, not every job special is going to be the equivalent of an E-DVD or Can, some will have very little value and some will have very high value depending on what you and the market in general deem its worth to be.

I do agree it doesn't have to be superb, as I said I think my suggest is probably too powerful - but salt shaker is like a serious disaster compared to ANY job special there is....its just sticking out. That is why I change the suggestion into just "rework the Salt Shaker" into whatever actually useful! :)

how about it reduces Karma By a certain number, 100 or 200 or whatever. 

Seems like an incredible modification considering the amount of salt that has been pouring out of the forums recently, why not just add more back on.
