consumable food/drink for crew morale

[An Ning]

It's sort of established that ships can create/recycle food and drink indefinitely for the crew.

 

This suggestion is not to get rid of this, but to make these "recycled" foods taste bad and have a slight negative impact on crew morale over time, and add in a consumable food and drink that can be purchased from stations that can boost crew morale.

 

This gives reason for people to bring ships in to stations beyond looking for jobs or selling goods

 

*would need a command mechanic enabling the player to tell ship captains to buy the item if found in system under X value and keep stores (located in crew quarters) above Y%, and a second function for a captain to warn the player that their stores are running low/depleted.

Hey! I pay crew already! They can buy food on their own money. But idea give some boost by using consumable items sounds interesting

My last boss paid us and provided lunch.

 

...not many liked the lunches they'd provide, so morale at lunch time always went down.
