Ok this is just and Idea. But when your grinding you repeat bp's well what if you collect into inventor and not discard it or have the option to. And we had a trading post to be able to sell bp's for cryo. Just an idea.

This suggestion have been post several times by users, this will not happen, this is not a game where you will be able to use trade in any mode.

This is as Yorkie told wrong forum to post a suggestion.
I will move this to the appropriated board.

Ok I LOVE the Idea but it will never happen saddly. I wish it would tho.

hmm- lets modify it.


Lets say you had a "bp storage" on your ship where you could store up to 10 bps at once. Then when you have filled that list, every new bp you pick up you have to swap for one in your store. Once you go to hangar, the bps you dont already have are added to your bp list and the ones you already have are exchanged for 5% of the original price of the bp. You can fill your bp list with any bps you collect, then swap them around and discard them till you have what you want, then go to hangar to exchange them.

I always thought it was weird that bps were instantly added to your list without giving them to the technicians in the hangar first. When you are in the hangar, your bp storage is cleared and the bps are exchanged/ added to your list.

Perhaps even, when you pod a random bp off that list is dropped for the person who podded you... reintroducing the bp drop system. However, as people who collect new bps will instantly go to the hangar anyway, so people will not drop bps they havent already installed often.

Put it this way, lets say you pick up a draconis rare thats worth 32k. You would then get 1.6k back- not a huge sum but a slight reward for your troubles.

Perhaps you could even increase your bp storage with each armour upgrade- it makes your ship bigger so why not? so
bulwark-5 bps
thermograde-8bps
deluvian-10bps
or something.

just a thought....

I like this idea, all repeated BP we collect and are discarted, why we can't sell them by 25% in rare BP and 10 % in custom BP from the real cost of them?
for example: sol afterburner: it costs 16024 cryo, why we cant sell it for 4006 cryo?
I think is a good idea, I think everyone will enjoy it!

ok I agree with ya lance but how about 20% Value for Rares (and rare paints), 15% Value for Paint Sceme BP's, and 10% For Regulars.

no... this would be a way around anyone actually buying boosters from SS...

one person buys a bp booster, gets a drac rare many times, sells each 1 to a player for 100k as he put in the effort to find it, then he profits loads and SS lose out on people buying bp boosters. Or he sells them for 1 cry and then SS lose out on people buyin cry boosters. Either way, not good.

SO, if you are ever able to sell bps, the only way i can see it being done is by selling them to hangar, as SS would never allow players to trade bps.

by the way I know lots of people who have tried out the BP booster and it is only good for REGULAR bps not rares also, I hardly know anyone who uses them cuss they simple get in squads with clan mates to get BPs even if the others are as fresh into the system as they.

Firstly, a BP booster increases your chance of a bp to actually drop, ok.....

So although a BP booster wont directly get you a gold bp to drop it will do so IN-directly by making more bps actually drop in the first place. So really a BP booster DOES increase your chance of getting gold simply by increasing the number of bps that actually drop. As there is a small chance that a gold bp will drop each time a bp drops then by increasing the number of bp drops overall WILL help you get more gold ones.

Secondly, PG obtains money through boosters in the shop... allowing ANYTHING that shortcuts players from that will mean less money for SS. Trading BPs or transferring greens will allow players easy access to these items from higher level players who have more powerful ships that can kill mantis faster to get these items. THUS, it will not encourage players to buy shop items to help them get "more bps or greens" etc. This is why is will NEVER happen.

Only things that allow the shop to work will be allowed, so trading is OUT!

It is never the booster but the luck mate, BP booster not gonna help you maybe 1% xD who knows but that is fast nothing the chance for rare BP to drop is small.

exactly, I know folks who got MORE bps WITHOUT the booster than with it (rares of course) in the SAME amount of time. Also, remeber trading BPs is NOT free, you WILL have to pay to buy these BPs.

Also, as I have stated before we could also add a sell for gold option, which would give SS money and players a new way to get some gold for their BP's. Also, the market value should be a range that differs with supply and demand although at the very begining there are to 5%, 10%, and 20% value of BP prices we discusses earlier. (See Grand Exchange of Runescape to understand what I mean)

Just let clans buy a mantis harvestor ship <<< And Let me be the pilot >>>

This is a joke please laf now ......

Drifter thats acually a neat idea, have like some ship in every system drop a rare BP that allows contruction of Clan "Harvesters" that can be used on CQ planets, the higher the system the more they cost but the more they give. They would have to orbit during CQs of course and would be NPC managed. There could be a % for like Admiral gets X% of the Cryo the harvies get, Captain get Y%, Officers W%, and memebers get Z%.

does it have to be limited to cqs and clans? Why not have one that doesnt collect as much cryo, but could be bought for non clan players. plus another rare to find!
 
C

CommanderCody

eh cuss its free cryo once you have the ship and if its just you, you also have to play your "intercepters" out of your own pocket meaning the higher the system, the more money you will make but the more money you may end up spending in order to save cryo.

Btw the Player Harvester Idea doesnt belong in this thread.
