[UI] Toggle Boosters

I would like to be able to choose when my boosters apply. I use my honor and ep boosters in gates, and when its lf4 day for example I don't feel like wasting my booster time to go collect green boxes. Please implement a toggle for players to choose when booster time applies.

 

The idea is good BUT as you say you like using it during a GATE it should not be able to be toggled on/off after entering into the gate. If it is allowed then there is nothing to EXPLOIT the fact you can run the entire gate to the last NPC toggle the boosters ON then collect the boost with minimal expense of the booster. There should be a timer allowing you to decide about boosters or not during the gate, this would ONLY be for this Gate and would be continued whether you did the gate in one visit or several visits and can not be changed after the initial entry timer, unless booster time ran out and had to repurchase it, which can already be a way of exploiting the EP/HON boosters (run your gates to last MAP without the boosters, buy them and finish the gates {up to 20} before booster runs out and collect all of the bonus and then do it all over again).

I do however, agree there should be a toggle so we can do the items we need to do on back page while in the GAME. This should be an automatic thing that once you click to BUY/Change anything on back page the booster timer stops until the ship moves again in the maps. It would also be nice to be able to turn them on or off while boxing/Chesting, I would suggest a cool down timer to prevent the Exploit of PvE(P) searching to prevent the loss of boost and turn it on just before death of NPC/Player. I know many players stuck in conversations in chat tend to waste booster and would be nice for them to shut them off while doing this, but then again with a timer to prevent the constant ON/OFF just to save a few seconds of boost.

I would say a cool down of 4 hours between switch would be appropriate. This would be a REAL TIME Clock so a player could decide to BOX for a couple hours leave for a couple and log back in and then decide to turn the boosters on again and go kill something instead of boxing.

This should not be a simple process of just saying I do not want to waste my boosters now then decide that you want to benefit from them for a couple minutes then shut them down again.

 

I think 4 hours is too much, way too much.
The toggle feature should be as follows
-Either On/Off
5min cooldown between on and off
No one will agree with you that burning 40% of your boosters or 4 hours of time you have to play "to wait to turn it off" is a feature that is viable or advantageous for someone who has a busy life.

 

Most of the Boosters only run in Game Play Time. My suggested 4 hour cool down is in real time so you are not in game dealing with the cool down if you do not want to. The 5 minute cool down that you suggest allows for people to turn off the EP/HON while they are attacking a UBK and just before it dies turn it on again to gain the added from the booster kill the accumulated trash turn it off again and find another UBK and start it all over again.

I still say the longer cool down is more in line to prevent players from trying to exploit the benefits of not running them all the time that they are owned. The boosters that would be most exploited would be the 50% FREE boosters from buying Uridium, as these currently run in real time and whether you can log into the game or not has no effect on the run time of them.
