NOTES:
** The highlighted cells indicate the most cost-effective option for upgrade.
(Based on statistical probability - actual results may vary).
** The bonuses provided for upgraded equipment are different for Uridium-cost items, Credit-cost items, and Modules.
** DMG Bonus applies to all laser types, the Hellstorm Rocket Launcher, and all drone types.
** SHLD Bonus applies to all shield types, and all drone types.
** Internal Modules are the Deflector Module, and the Hull Module.
** External Modules are any types which are placed in the surrounding 8 modules of the CBS.
** The BONUS applied to External Modules is an increase to the effectiveness of that item (eg. more damage for lasers/rockets, higher amounts for Honor/Experience/Damage boosters, etc).
** The benefits from Premium and/or Rebate will reduce the listed costs as per standard.

 

Thanks bro
Although the one on the previous forum can still be accessed (for now), great help ^^

 

my pocket hurts each time i look at this

 

It's not cheap indied but by useing this charts it still saves you a lot of uri...
Sometimes an upgrade fails but still i saved a lot of uri got a few lf4 lvl 16 now by never going above 85% off upgrade chance

 

You have one mistake on the shield chart upgrade m8 , the shield maximum upgrade is 16% ask any1 .
and max lf4 upgrade is 6 % i think you should change .

 

No the chart is correct, the maximum bonus from a upgraded drone at level 16 is 6% more damage and 15% more shields.

 

BOSS ADAM is correct. 15% shield at level 16 and 6% damage. Thanks for moving the chart here though I never use it I used to follow the guidelines and I lost tons of uridium. Did 24 upgrades at 25% and 1 actually upgraded. Now I just use 100% with rebate and premium and wait for upgrade hours.

 

I just do upgrades at 75%, win-win either way; out of 43 upgrades, only 5 failed

 

Hi =MANTICORE=, how is are you? how is Australia?

what happen to the acknowledgement of my best chance option input?

I noticed in the;

Upgrading System FAQ thread

You did not even get the acknowledgement for your Input.

 

bounty you could just enter a crud ton of caps in the HITAC event and get some of the 80 dlevel 16 LF-4 cannons

 

hey hey we just need 60-65% to lv 2 for upgrading credits item

 

I created a chart for Upgrade Bonus Hour. It's not quite as simple as going 25% less. Darker red is cheaper. These numbers are Expected cost in top chart, and expected cost on UBH in bottom chart.




This means the cost of upgrading normally is expected to be 95k. with premium, that's 90k. with rebate and premium, it's 66.5k.

On upgrade bonus hour, it's 58.5k, 55.5k with premium, 41k with premium, rebate, and upgrade bonus hour.

 

Not how it adds up. It adds up to something more like 51.5k

 

I would not upgrade any cred items... total waste of creds

 

This list is no longer accurate ive noticed the change 2 month back I was able to upgrade my drones to lv 16 with 200k uri now im trying to upgrade my shields and it keeps failing over and over and over again we need a updated version plz hate wasting uri.

 

Charts are broken. Please fix.

 

Your numbers do not add up!!! Assuming the first line is accurate which does calculate out properly except premium is 90.25k then the next figures should be 75% of the original or 71.25k, 67,688 and 49,875 calculated out. There is another thread that has described the equation exactly.

First the upgrade hour DOES NOT STACK like the Premium and Rebate do (5% + 25%) the UBH applies to the new amount. So assuming the first chart is ACTUAL UPGRADE COST level 2 upgrade 100% is 3905 multiplied by .7 for the P R discount = 2733.5 multiplied by UBH = 2050.125. As I assume DO does not round down you would see 2734 and 2051. This discount is applied just like a RETAIL ADDITIONAL DISCOUNT not a STACKED Dark Orbit discount.

Also I do not follow how you got 4000 for a .05 level 2 upgrade and a 3905 for a 1.0 level 2 upgrade, so the first chart is completely whacked and there is no rhyme or reason to the numbers of the second in comparison to the first. It is really stupid to try to show how smart you are when you are not understanding the principals of how the system works. Mathematics have not changed in centuries and this is simple mathematics. If you post the actual cost of each upgrade (without any discounts) then it is very simple to calculate the other figures and they do compute just like I have stated. So generating 5 charts (Premium 5%, Rebate 25%, Premium + Rebate 30%, Rebate + UBH 25% then 25%, Premium/Rebate + UBH 30% then 25%) could be done just off of ONE accurate ORIGINAL COST chart.

I have all the other charts created but do not know how to make them easily read as what was posted above (I know mine looks like crud). If someone wanted to message me I could send the EXCEL worksheet to them to fix.

But easy calculations are;
LVL 2 upgrade 100% = (BASE) but you can use whatever you want
Premium only BUC times .95 (BASE) 3905 times .95 = 3710
Premium + Rebate BUC times .7 (BASE) 3905 times .7 = 2734
Rebate or UBH BUC times .75 (BASE) 3905 times .75 = 2929

Using the above calculations to get UBH discount

Premium + UBH (BUC times .95) times .75 (BASE - premium) 3710 times .75 = 2782
Rebate + UBH (BUC times .75) times .75 (BASE -rebate) 2929 times = 2197
Premium, Rebate, + UBH (BUC timed .7) times .75 (BASE) 2734 times = 2050

 

Do you or anyone else have a copy of the credit upgrade chart?

 

I don't but then WHY would you want to waste the credits to UPGRADE them? Bid on the Uridium quality items instead.

 

I am going to build a credit account. I have 8 accounts, including test, with all the uridium equipment.

Get it , Got it , Good.
