Changes to items in the AUCTION

Some items in the auction need 'modifying' in my opinion.

These are:
1. MCB-25 [From 1,000 units to 10,000 units]
2. MCB-50 [From 1,000 units to 10,000 units]
3. SAB-50 [From 1,000 units to 10,000 units]

Reason being is 1,000 laser ammunition is far too minute a number. Basic FEs can use up more than 1,000 units within a minute.

4. ACM-1 [From 10 units to 50 units]

Reason being is 10 mines are ridiculously insignificant especially for the ACM-1 mines.
Reminder that ACM-1 mines are used for both the Smart bomb and Instant shield.
On a side note BP managed to discreetly reduce the original 50 units to 10 units without letting the players know. (AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T TOLD US!!)

5. Log-disks [From 3 disks to 5 disks]

Reason being is that the majority of the players haven't got anywhere near to 50 pilot points.
Plus the fact that log disks are won on the auction for a very high sum of credits (most of the time).

Additional items based on feedback:

6. Xenomit [From 10 units to 200-500 units]

Reason being is that Xenomit is used for many items. i.e. the Smart bomb, the Instant shield, the Targeting guidance, to synthesise Promerium; from which only the latter-most requires a minute amount of Xenomit. 10 units of Xenomit are virtually useless. The main reason for not using the Targeting guidance CPU is due to the tremendous amount of Xenomit it drains; so why should there not be a larger source of Xenomit?

I don't believe anything above is unreasonable as they aren't massive changes to the current auction.

Feedback is appreciated.

 

what about xenomit?

 

Is a good idea because 1k MCB-25(example) it is too little.

 

the shouldthey sould make the log disks in groups of 10 as we need 34,917 of them

 

Yes I would like this idea also 10k of any of those makes t more worth actually biding on them 1k is almost useless.

 

I will update the original post to include Xenomit. Thanks for mentioning it

I agree but increasing it to 10 disks may enrage those who have previously bid on Log-disks and have, as a result, neared 50 pilot points. 5 is a small increase but lets see if BP can even do that.

 

What's my motivation for giving a (Censored) about those raging noobs? Great suggestions though =D.

 

I used 300k ammo in about 3 or 4 hours, so 10.000 would be better than 1.000, it go in less a minute, and xenomit go too fast either.
And 3 log disk for 15m creds is too low, it means 5m a log but you can buy only 3 a hour

 

I think it ought to be 30 log disk bids. The value of them would depreciate rapidly and they would become a realistic investment for newcomers.

There should also be multiple bids for LF3s and B02s. That way more people get them, and people lose less sleep bidding for them.

Also, there should be auctions for P.E.T.S but on the daily or weekly section, and modules for them on the hourly section.

Same thing with drone formations. ^

I think xenomit should bid in 100s. Every module uses 10 of it or more per use. I want to smart-bomb, insta-shield, and have a TGCPU running at the same time, but that uses at least 100 X per second.

(although, you can pick up large amounts of xenomit from cargo containers)

Also, the website needs to be able to update auctions in real-time, not after a page refresh. Same with other website modules.

 

I can just agree with was said

+1

 

I agree with most of it .. but the chances of them making massive changes are slim

I want to see if they can even change Log-disks to 5 first. (I doubt BP will though, because we all know what they value most).
If at all possible 30 would be splendid.

LF3s and B02s can be obtained in booty boxes also. It really isn't hard to get them. Just requires a couple of skylab-promerium selling and bids. For that reason I disagree with this point.

There are several threads about putting P.E.T items and drone formations in the auction. I don't want to innovate items into the auction with this thread but rather, modify the current items. Though I agree that P.E.T items and forms ought to be in the auction. Opening P.E.T slots costs a tad already.

Agree with the point about Xenomit. It should, no doubt, be increased into the 100's.

Agree with your last point too. Although that will have to be a thread of it's own.

 

Took them long enough to remove ammo cap. I doubt they'll agree with this.

 

Note: The thread will be re-opened only if the OP requests for it.

Enjoy the game.
