THE TICKET SHOP

For Your Shopping Pleasure
Izar is the main shop in Star Center. Anything you can't get at the Infirmary or Mess Hall can be gotten here. If you can imagine your character would need it and it wouldn't break the game, you can probably get it here. The exception is anything that would use a broadcast signal. Televisions and computers are fine, but they won't be able to get TV or internet. Also unavailable are most items specifically from "home". The only items from "home worlds" available in the shop are unique supplies necessary for survival, such as grief seeds. Items like holy water are fine because they are not exclusive to a single canon.

Prices in this shop are roughly the same as they would be in real life. To get you started, here are a few examples:

Playing Cards: 10 tickets
Set of 4 Drinking Glasses: 100 tickets
Gallon of Paint: 300 tickets
Extra Uniform: 500 tickets
Handheld Game Console: 2,500 tickets
Big Screen Television: 5,000 tickets
Sofa: 10,000 tickets
Exit from Star Center: 500,000 tickets


Not Sure of a Price?
The quickest way to estimate the price of something is to google prices in USD and add a 0. For example, something that costs $10 USD in real life would cost 100 tickets in the shop. If it's something that doesn't exist in real life, simply estimate what the real world cost would be. Just keep in mind that all prices will end in a 0! You do not have to get mod approval for every price. However, if you're unsure of how to price something, don't be afraid to ask the mods! You can also drop an IC price question here and hash it out with the Trader herself!

Quests from The Trader
If your character is lacking in money, they can ask the Trader for a ticket quest. Quests range from simple fetching or delivery runs to difficult things like VR room puzzles or tasks that require you to interact with other player characters. The Trader is likely to give quests of middling difficulty and payout compared to the other two NPCs. Comment ICly to this post to get a quest!
