| Description | This probation item can be kind of micro-heavy in a not fun way, for a pretty small reward. If you pick up every credit on the floor then buy everything you can, you might end up with 1-4 credits that you can't spend. Sometimes you can spend the remainder on items from the cheap item shop, but not always. To avoid this, I leave a few 1 credit drops behind so I can bring my credit count back to 5 if need be, then spend 5 credits on experience points. So I have to suppress the impulse to pick up every credit. Then I have to backtrack after clearing all the rooms to pick up credits and buy items. You spend all this effort for (if memory serves) 25 credits, 3 keycards and a few missiles.
If the point of the probation is to empty your wallet for a reward (thus possibly having to pass up some good items on the following floor), change the condition to have less than 5 credits at the end of the floor. If the point really is to make you count credits to reach exactly 0, then I suggest upping the reward to match the effort involved. |
