Alternative Search and Rescue rewards.

[DemiserofD]

I've been scooping up some escape pods and whatnot from Thargoid sites, and have come to realize it's pretty shallowly implemented.

Idea: What if you could deny the initial reward, and then potentially later get something else in the mail?

Example; you turn in a damaged escape pod, and refuse the reward.

A week later, you get a message:

"Dear CMDR DemiserofD,

Thank you deeply for returning the remains of our family member to us for burial. It means a great deal to know exactly what happened to them. These pieces of jewelry belonged to them; as thanks for your selfless act, we of their family felt you should have them.

With deepest thanks,

The Family of Damaged Escape Pod #11407"

And then, you can claim a tonne of Antique Jewelry at the local Search and Rescue office.

It wouldn't always need to be tangible rewards either;

A clumsily-scrawled note has been digitized and sent to your mailbox. There is no contact information. It reads:

"DEER PILOT

THANK U FOR SAVIN MY DADA

LOVE

<name smudged and unreadable>"

Just simple little stuff like this would make the Search and Rescue aspect of the game feel much deeper and more meaningful.
