(please dont get political, this is just for fun) This sounds insane I know. But think about it, not once you get paid for your work, because you are being paid in dying. Based off some clues we can figure out that all of these crewmembers signed contracts which means that all of these people are aware of the communist society they put themselves in. Basically Nanotrasen takes these passengers and puts them to work so they can live in a station where they can live in peace. (I know I did a bad job at explaining this so hopefully you got all that) NOW, if you want to really get crackhead conspiracy here. You could make the argument that the Syndicate is just a bunch of capitalists but thats just stupid so do what you will. (again this is just for fun)
My personal head cannon is that when we sign our contract our main body is put into cryosleep and thats the us that is under contract, earning spacoes meanwhile CC clones us and sets us to work given the MRP rules Id say they also implant the knowellege you have as a player but remove any refrence to Nukies and Wizards whom they want to keep under wraps.
i think NT instead of giving you money, provides your equipment, medical care, food and shelter (with scaling quality) etc. based on the amount of money you suppose to get, so they just instead of giving you money, pay themselfs to keep it more organized and on record so they will know where everyone lives at and their living quality. (requesting special items from command also further prooves that NT pays themselfs for your request instead of making you control your own money)
Because this way its more efficent, if you were getting money its just waste, you get money from company A, you spend said money in company A again thus returning the money to same company edventually but its more un-reliable and harder to record / follow / keep track of and there is always chanse of money hoarding / saving whic is just makes the money un-usable unless you dedice to use it at some point (if you ever do before you die)
Impossible, there’s no starvation and chaplain can choose their religion. :^)
At the very least it is socialistic.
Everyone just does their job and helps the rest of the crew and they are helped in return.
Science is not being rewarded for making robots, they just do them because the station has a use for them. And they also need the station to provide them with materials and tools.
Same with pretty much every other department.
NT, the gigantic space corporation is building communism
Trvthnvke…
If i recall correctly, one SS13 server i played (Paradise, i think is the name) had space communist group as NT enemy along syndicate. I don’t know if it’s addition of just this one server or it’s a something other servers also mention
I don’t know what the combined lore of SS13/14 is but in my head NT and Syndicate are just two enormously sized rival corporations
They are, functionally.
NT funds stations, The syndicate funds enemies of NT.
But the stations themselves are self sustaining.
The real question is if they get any benefit from funding these stations and the employees. Which i do not think is answered anywhere.
