Cargo Bounties
Bounties are one of the primary ways for the Supply Department, as well as individual crew members, to make money. They involve a list of things CentCom wants and how much they'll give for it, sending them to CentCom, and actually redeeming both pocket money and cargo points.
How to do Bounties
You can view bounties at a Bounty Console. These are located in front of the Cargo Bay. Each crew member may see a selection of 3 random bounties depending on their department and roundstart job (the QM's, HoP's, and cargo techs' are fully random).
Completing one bounty grants a bounty cube, that Cargo has to send to CentComm through the shuttle. Once arrived, you will receive the reward of the bounty (Cargo will receive an increased amount as well). You will then be offered a new selection of bounties.
Bounty cubes on the shuttle may be scanned with an export scanner to grant a small handling tip on arrival to the one who scanned it (usually Cargo Techs).
List of Possible Bounties
Bounties are secretly divided into 13 different categories, so that medics aren't asked gas mixes, or atmos tech slime extracts.
