[UI] MCB-25 for credits

So, the title pretty much says it all. The suggestion I´m presenting here is indeed very simple
but I´d like to go more into the details of this "problem". We made this kind of thread on the Czech forum and the feedback there was mostly positive so we thought it would be a good idea to post it here to see what the reactions of the community will be.

So as I stated before, the suggestion is pretty simple. But first it is important to know why we are suggesting this. As you know, there were items, which had their prices changed to credits (LF-2, B01, SGEN-6900) quite a long time ago. However that wasn´t the case for ammo, ammo stayed the same, with its prices pretty much unchanged since the day I first started playing the game. But the game has changed since then, the maximal power lvl increased. At that time, when player was able to deal 40k dmg he was a demigod of the Orbit. Nowadays, this dmg is normal for every stronger player, but it is quite common to have 60-80k dmg or in some cases people have even more. That logically lead to the increase of the minimal power lvl, that was why the prices of some uridium items were changed to credits. And that, I believe, should´ve lead to MCB-25 price change to help players compete with the increasing damage running around orbit.

Another reason for this is that there are 2 types of credit rockets, 2 budget options for players. So why shouldn´t we have 2 budget options of laser ammo?

Also the auction of this ammo is pretty meaningless. Not only you spent an hour waiting for the ammo, you also get 1000 units which is like a 1 min of shooting of NPCs, because this is not really a good ammo against players.Not very efficient to be honest.

To sum this up, this is a very simple suggestion, very easy to implement and generally beneficial for the entire player base. We believe that the new price should be 50-100 credits/ unit of ammo. I´m more inclined towards the lower end of the spectrum.

So, tell me how you feel about this sort of thing, whether you think it should be put into the game or not. And also tell me why, it would be very helpful because it would allow me to improve my further suggestions.

P.S. : If for some reason this idea doesn´t appeal to you, there is an alternative which simply suggests to raise the amount of ammo in auction to 100k units, which would solve some problems I mentioned before and increase the amount of competition over these items in the auction.

 

I like both ideas presented. 1k of ammo in the auction is like a sneeze, achoo, already gone. If the regular price was changed to credits, it would be a help to the newer players and as such, me, the credit player. New players need more ump when doing those missions at the start as they ramp up fast to sibs but don't have you with the equipment power needed to do them.

Man, my responses have gotten shorter...

 

With the ammo given in the GG Materializer, Bonus Boxes, Auction, I have always had enough ammo when using mainly credit ammo and switching to the Uridium for faster/stronger kills or PvP defense. Before having to kill Ubers for missions I never bought Uridium ammo and never ran out of any of it when killing Boss Sib's or BBK's using it. I feel there is enough given if player is boxing and killing everything they see in the maps and spinning the EE earned for the purpose of gaining ammo.

 

They wont do it no one will Use X1 ammo and the power range will be lower - less people will buy Uridum cause you would do more dmg - get more uriduim and If X4 do 2x dmg from normal ammo not 4x - makes it less valuable.Im all for it but it will never happen.

 

Well all I ever use is credit ammo, as I don't go boxing, even on my main. Actually on my main, the cubes get x1, and I just found UBK and UBL go down quite well with it. The only think I use uri ammo for is pvp.

It would be good to be able to use something with a bit more punch on this account as everything takes so long, but we are rehashing old requests and ideas now. There have been lots of ideas I have found I am doing good without but they would still be nice to have while I put along.
