Allow Credits to be Exchanged for Supply Points

Some interest has been expressed in making credits more relevant to the game. One way to do this would be to allow credits to be exchanged for supply points. This would ground the value of credits in a wide array of physical goods.

 

Credits could be placed on the cargo shuttle to be shipped to Central Command, a la minerals. The exact rate at which credits should be exchanged for supply points will have to be contemplated to ensure balanced gameplay.

Honestly I would like Credits to replace Supply Points. Each department starts with 5k in it's department funding, so it's completely reasonable. It would also allow us to also pay the miners along side their point allotment, and could bring up some bribery things that Cargo could do. Making Credits into Supply Points just feels kinda redundant compared to just using Credits to buy things.

 

Unfortunately, last time this suggestion was made, a lot of people posted that "Cargo is meant to give stuff out for free!" and such and shot it down.
