  1. On the old client we had a horrible thing to trade Uri for credits.
    What I am suggesting is this,,
    1,000,000 credits = 100 Uri
    10,000,000 credits = 1000 Uri
    up to a max of 100,000,000 credits = to 10,000 Uri
    While veteran players will not have trouble attaining these numbers it is still a realistic amount for new players to achieve.
    This would also be a nice in game reward for those who worked hard for their credits.
    I know some clans are uber rich and can supply their players with tons of credits but those players already have a leg up in the game.
     
  2. But how would a new player (since this targeted at those) would manage to make, let's say 100 mil to convert it into 10k? It's a bit too high for new players, I think you should lower it a bit, make it reachable .
     
  3. Some clans, and single players, have Many many many BILLIONS of credits. They could generate 10k extra uri for themselves every day, or whatever the cooldown period you are proposing would be.

    Ironically , noobs NEED their creds for ammo and bidding on equipment in trade. 100 million credits can get a noob as many as 10 LF3 or 10 BO2 in trade if you get lucky...But 10k uri would only buy 1.

    Changing creds to URI would only help already rich UFE's turn their Billions of creds into extra hunting uri to go pop noobs with.

    Point blank...noobs NEED credits over uri, because EVERYthing a noob needs is in trade, and usually WAY more economical than buying with uri from the shop.

    Gotta say no to this Idea
     
    ship5678 and Failed_Here like this.
  4. It is a idea in progress if it is too low people will scream if it is too high people will moan LOL.
    But maybe reduced level of credits.
    Perhaps level based say you are level 1-10 it would be cheaper than 10-16 for example.
    The point would also be to let newer players get some elite stuff and not make it unfair for those who pay.
    But lower credit amount for the Uri would be acceptable.
     
  5. True the auctions can be good to get Uri items pending on the server.
    Like for example GB2 where a Iris can be won for 50 million to GA2 my main where a Iris is now 150-300 million.
     
  6. I want this on a poster in my wall it was that funny. And yes, I was actually just thinking about this feature way back then. I kinda do want it back, it would help me out with the new auction system plus, keep Uridium flowing back into BigPoint's hands stimulating the in-game economy.
     
  7. In all honesty it would be more worth while to kill 10 cubes or kill aliens for 10k uri for ufe's. And new players it would be more worth while to kill aliens and level up. However the possibility of some noob ship with let's say a decent Skylab setup which I happen to have on my level 5 ship could just sell promi and make a decent amount of uri. This would kind of be the equivalent of botting but just selling credits that you log into your ship and sell then log. It's a good idea and I was just thinking about the same thing a few days ago and it made me laugh because I didn't know if you were still able to trade your uridium for credits. Good idea but may need to be modified like maybe only once a month or so.
     
  8. I don't understand what you're saying here, do you think you can trade Credits for Uridium? The OP just means Uridium -> Credits. Not the other way around.
     
  9. No the OP is suggesting trading credits for uridium. And I am saying the flaw in that is I could have my noob ship sell promi have millions of credits and gets millions or uri. They used to have that option in the old client where you could trade your uri for credits, I don't know if that is still around I've never looked for it.
     
  10. Nope, it isn't
     
  11. I'm sorry, this entire time I thought he was wanting to bring back the old Uridium -> Creds option. You're correct disregard my past statement.
