This suggestion is a simple one, and one that I believe that it'll bring a lot of good things to the server.
Firstly, I'd like to introduce the addon I am suggesting. This addon is one of the Fallout Terminal addons. Which can be located here. This addon is pretty simple. It adds multiple entities to the server. The main being a Fallout Terminal, one desktop version and one mounted to the wall. These terminals, once you've pressed the Use key on them, you will come up with a screen asking to place in a holotape. This is where the rest of the entities come in, this addon adds in holotapes that allow us to write words/messages on them. For all holotapes, there is a set max of characters in them. The lowest being 200C, and the highest being 1024C. Once you've inserted the holotape, you'll get a list of options, such as reading it, renaming it, writing, protecting (password on it), and ejecting. You can write anything on the holotapes, and give them to someone, and allow them to read it on their terminal.
Now, I'd recommend two ways of adding this to the server, the first being having a few hotspots designated for public terminals, like how a library works, and allowing holotapes to be purchased by traders, or in the F1 menu, and using Courriers to send them as messages or letters.
The second way I'd recommend is allowing everything to be purchased in the F1 menu, and making them proper scripts in their inventory, even upon disconnection, it'll stay there.
This addon would be useful for a few reasons. The first would be as a letter/communication system. We do not have a radio system in the server, so getting messages to a longer area would be easier and more effective with this addon.
As well, it already makes sense in the Fallout Universe, due to the fact that this is a actual thing used in the Fallout games.
This addon would also prove useful due to the fact that it will encourage a lot more RP and even be possible to create small player-made events. Such as an important NCR Holotape getting lost, and taken by the Legion, NCR have to find it, while possibly recruiting town members. As well, it will make some of the more lesser jobs, like Courrier much more useful.
Any suggestions/problems with this suggestion, please reply to the thread.
