Item Upgrade ( Level Selecting )

Hello,

My suggestion is being able to skip level upgrades. Not skip as in your saving uridium, no. However Lets say your out in the maps. find a Green Booty pick up and your lucky enough to get your hands on an LF-4. Now as we all know upgrading them takes time...

So the suggestion...

you have your New LF-4 its level one... you want it level 16. so... you select the laser which requires to be upgraded now at this point you have another option ( list ) level 1 through to 16.

Now... this does not mean your paying for the final level upgrade, no... All the level upgrades from level 1 to level 16 would be combined. so it would still cost you the same amount of uridium to upgrade them separately. Again, the times of all levels would combined.

Now your probably thinking... well if the price and the time would still be the same ??? Whats the point in all this... well... think about it... you click upgrade... you wait.. its level 2... then you gotta go back and click finish... then you gotta start it again for level 3 etc etc... well you could be busy hunting, GGing, what ever it maybe... you can forget to click the finish, which in turn prolongs the time because lets say 1 hour later you remember... that's 1 hour you could have used to start the next upgrade. ( obviously you would still need to click the finish when it finished from level 1 to 16 )

Not only that... lets say you could only afford to get your new LF-4 straight to level 16... you can simply select the next possible highest level that you can afford. so you choose level 8... it gets you that bit closer no ?

Any how, that's my suggestion...

Thoughts ?

 

Great Idea. I once upgraded my laser, I didn't know I upgraded one and found out after like 1 month and a half when I was bored and checking all the backpages lol.

 

So how does this work with the percentage? Do you select a level to upgrade it to and then select the percent? What if I put it to level 16 and 10% and it upgrades? I would love a cheaper way to do upgrades, but I don't think this is it. As far as saving time...meh, all things take time. Skylab for instance takes over a week to get your seprom module upgraded the last time.
(This would be useful for upgrade hour)

 

I think you could avg all the prices for percentage Taser.. Take all the Uri costs for the percent of each level and add them.. that could kind of cheat you in the cost to get it to level 16 though

 

I would suggest there to be an option block for this for the selected item, level, time, and cost...

​

 

Yh, you would still need to choose a percentage for the success rate. every thing is the same apart from the added option.

 

it has its beauty to pass all this procedure till ur equipment become lvl 16
to make them all automatic is not fun
think the option that .. today i start the DO .. i give 8000 euro in paysafe .. then i press 1 button then in 5 days my ship is uber full elite
this way there is NO BEAUTY in game at all

 

Not really lol... you still gotta get your hands on the equipment lol.

 

I Like your Idea but Things would be complicated with the % you upgrade.

So If you want your new lf4 to go straight from lvl 8 or to 16 even - It should only be possible to do to choosen level only if its on 100%.

Otherwise if its not 100% it should be done as normal.

Although i do hate leveling up one by one - i Would rather have long wait but do at 1 go.

 

This is a good idea however it may be problematic for people who want to do different upgrades at different percentages, for example if you wanted to do the first upgrade at 40% and last at 100% if you get my drift. However good idea

 

Good idea, takes the mick when you have the uridium during upgrade hour but can only upgrade 2 or 3 levels per item (in that hour).

 

I think to get around the skipping levels/chances you could add adition uri from what would be the total cost for the percentage to the level you skipping too.. so it costs more(Unless 100%) to skipp the time

 

It would cost less to skip it this way as compared to doing them one at a time. I do 50% 16 times compared to doing 50% maybe once or twice and it's level 16. There is the potential to save a lot of uri this way.

 

By manticore (old forums):
Total cost to upgrade one Uridium item to maximum (with 100% efficiency) = 104,250 Uridium

Now then:
Max Lasers: Goliath - 15; + Drones - 20; + P.E.T.10 - 10 = 45
Rocket Launcher CPU = 1
Max Shields: Citadel - 20; + Drones - 20; + P.E.T.10 - 17 = 57
Max Drones: IRIS - 8; + APIS - 1; + ZEUS - 1 = 10
Total = 113
113 X 104,250 = 11,780,250 Uridium
During upgrade hour(s) = 8,835,187.5 (approx = 8,835,188) Uridium

Let alone CBS module upgrades which cost a tad more:
By manticore (old forums):
Total cost to upgrade one Internal Module to maximum (with 100% efficiency) = 402,750 Uridium
Total cost to upgrade one External Module to maximum (with 100% efficiency) = 268,500 Uridium
My point being, use your head before sprouting nonsense! 8 million uridium during upgrade hour and you want to increase the cost in some way shape or form?!
WHY?
