Dear Splitscreen,

I am well aware of the fact that BPs (blues & rares) can be arranged into 'cost groups' (CG) so that ship classes remain balanced in therms of cry investments. This works well up until Sol System:

______ CG1 CG2 CG3 CG4
Storm..
-
-
-

Tank...
-
-
-

Engi....
-
-
-

Shock..
-
-
-

Sniper_
-

However, in Draconis the Sniper Blasters (got cheaper) and Orbital Strikes (got more expensive) don't go in line with their 'cost groups' anymore, which they belonged to in Sol (obviously only as rares).
Though, Attack Droids & Attack Charges fit in nicely.
Is this inconsitency a bug or intentional?

Best regards
V1

The price differences are not just in the last digit or so, but substantially and for all Draco BPs consitently differnt.
The sniper blasters got between 3 and 5% cheaper.
The orbital strikes got between 3 and 5% more expensive.
To me it is still not clear whether this might be a bug or intention :sneaky:

If let's say SSB cost about 19k and the DDB cost about 90k you can see the 1 number is removed and they got another 0 back 9, so the price is about 90k, :/ not cool... And SSS that is what I did really hate that you guys done I did after time say OK no problem it will go ok but the cost's I don't want to grind about 300k-500k cry for some items that aren't really useful please guys lower the price!!! or make the cry drop from harv at list drop 500-700 !!!! from mizar to sol

ridio, i dont think that's the right place for suggestions/rants. Here it might go unnoticed ;)
All i wanted was to point out a potential bug.

Unfortunately, no Moderator has noticed that yet :|

Sorry ridoi for the misspelling :p

This is the Bug report section, i.e. a forum section meant to report bugs. Some developer or moderator ought to read this section occasionally, or esle it defies its purpose. That's what I thought. I'm still hopeful :LOL:

I just found out that the Sniper Blaster and Orbital Strike are the ones that aren't bugged but the others.

The CG1 goes suddenly up with the price but the CG3 goes down. This only doesn't count for the Sniper Blaster and the Orbital Strike.

We should say that the Blaster is 100% then we should look which price every weapon has in every system and look if that stays the same or changes with the blaster from that system.

I'm sorry I may have lost u now a bit :p
but the Blaster is one of the 4 generic items, which don't fit in any of the above CGs. They have very different prices of their own.

I know, but lets say:

The Blaster price is 100%
The Collector price is 60%?

and so on, you might see if there are weapons that are getting more expensive.

It is intentional, and yet another reason for people leaving the game.

I think I'm being missunderstood :mrorange:
I do not argue about the specific costs of itmes, I only wanted to point out a price inconsistency that only turned up with Draconis.
As I said, the Sniper Blaster and Orbital Strike used to each belong to one of the 4 cost groups up to Sol. So do ALL (but the 4 generic items), even up to Draconis. But with Draconis Sniper Blaster and Orbital Strike break the rule. No other item does that. I wondered whether THAT might be a bug or not..

But since no official has been commenting on this bug report I will not discuss it any further in this thread.
Never mind..

Hey, V1, I think with Draconis there is a totally NEW pricing approach to bp costs. As far as I can tell it goes like this...

They grab a DART BOARD walk ten paces away, turn, then throw the dart and where it hits that becomes the new price x 10k !!

So simple when you look at it this way! ^^

Its all about the money....if you want a lot of cry to buy those bps and ships,you need to have a lot of boosters if you want the ships and tech fast....and we want always things fast so we gonna buy gold!
