I was wondering why miners in Redding are so much addicted to jet? Of course jet is highly addictive methamphetamine and the greedy Reno mafia masterminds trying to control the valuable minerals through the control of jet supplies. But one obvious reason for miners taking jet is because mining is tedious and stressful. Maybe they need some relief by jet, maybe jet is able to overload their body and mine extra amount of mines.

So game play-wise my suggestion is to double cumulative mining cd (to 40 mins) when you are under jet effect. This will make jet-head miners popular and add a little bit fallout taste to the game.

Nice idea!
But I think doubling the cooldown is a bit too much, maybe plus 5 or 8 minutes..
Anyway, it really sounds cool, especially with that background.

I'd say this would be a good feature, but only under circumstances when its not worth the actual jet - that is, when it only gives you a boost from 4 to, lets say 6 (iron ores) or 6 to 9 (minerals).

Actually didn't the jet just ruin Redding's bussiness because miners were high and unable to work in the mine?

Nevertheless, I just see this as attempt to enhance miner alt's production. Nobody with balanced char would like to be addicted to jet just to increase mining abilities. Fix alts, then we'll see how much people want jet to affect their mining cooldowns. But still, cool suggestion maybe something like it could be implemented one day.

i dont know, maybe i think doubleing it would be worth it due to the fact it makes you addicted 100% of the time you take it, there is no antidote other then waiting it off, which i would imagine to be extremely annoying due to the effects of withdral, maybe a increase of 50% your normal gathering time would be ok if people are to sceptic with gathering balance, but i dont think only +6 or +8 minutes would be worth the addiction

Oh what the crap man, are you even thinking with your mind? Alts. ALTS! Im sure i and everyone i know and pretty much everyone on the server who is smart enough would make gathering alt and buy tons of jets if it would be doubled. Thoes 6 or 8 minutes ihmo is already too much. 1 or 2 minerals/ores should be the bonus.

[arathhunter]

but theres a 10 minute log in wait to switch to alts, unless your on a extra computer on your alts then it would be pretty bad, but thats against the rules.... hmm.... maybe your right, there are people who would just ignore that rule and figure they wont get caught, and if when they did get found out, we'd prob be surrounded by high quilty weapons and armor and everyone dieing all around, not to mention the break in the market and such... Alts just never come first in mind for me =/

nice idea, however even double efect doesn worth it since alts exist. I wouldnt take jet with crafter even for triple effect maybe
An not only because it ruins char, but also because jets are getting expensive and rare :p

[arathhunter]

well, i wouldent say rare, since you can buy them at Den from a NPC
but i would say expensive cuz it costs 500caps from him,
also you can kill the Villagers in Rave Partys, almost-all of them have jet on them 

[Swinglinered]

There could be another quest related to this.

But miners were mortal and they suffered from addiction. And in FOnline we have immortal powerbuilds with unlimited access to caps and nearly unlimited supplies of Jet. And as an bonus reward those powerbuilds or they alts should get even more minerals to make even more ammuniton/guns? I dont think so.

I would rather not to see jet infest the whole wasteland. So the mining cd boost could be restricted to HQ materials only. With jet you are double fast in combat so this will encourage jet-head miners arm themself rather than waste jet on a blue suit mine alt. On the other hand I doubt those jet head power builds would put a hammer in their inventory when they raid unguarded mines.
