Petition Poll: Armour Upgrade Cost and Ship Cost Link - Fletcher - 06-15-2009
This petition is in regards to what I feel is a rather silly thing.
People flying around with armour upgrades that cost more, if not far more than the ship's base cost.
I find this to be rather silly, and some call abuse of the generic system of how the armour upgrade system works. Some will say that people mod cars/ships that can cost more than the car itself. Yes that is true, but that doesn't involve complete body refitting with no downside whatsoever. Probably a bad simile there.
But my petition is a rather simple one, if not awkward to code.
What are your thoughts on this matter folks?

I would only support this if armour upgrades were reduced in price to fit with the cost of ships. Right now, with a VHF costing some 2 mill, you'd be restricted to a mark...3?...plus, it would make bombers even more impossible to kill (in comparison to fighters), as they'd be able to buy armour costing up to 6+ mill...

If we do make them cheaper, everyone is going to get them, but then again, almost everyone already has them. Highest I've got is a MkIV :laugh:

For fighters, I think this isn't needed, since the price of the armor upgrade is quite close to the ship's price. For capships on the other hand, I think they'd require some sort of restriction, based on ship class.
But then, I'm biased as a fighter pilot, I don't even have a cap.

Sorry to say, but 15 mill is not really close to 2 mill...
Also, doesn't cap mk 8 cost more than most battleships?...

I vote no, as some players purposefully play in lighter/cheaper ships for the roleplay, to be unique, and provide some personal challenge to themselves. Players that fly in Mk1 fighters like starblazers (me) and daggers (Joe) are going find it totally impossible to win in even a 1v1 fight, simply because after sheilds it would be 1 hit death. The armour at least gives you a -tiny- bit of room for error when going up against that superior eagle, falcata or whatever..
Granted, it may look a bit weird having 900mil armour on a 30mil GB, or 15mil armour on a 50k fighter, but for some players that's neccessary to continue playing the characters they created.
EDIT: Not sure if starblazers are mk1 fighters now that I think of it, but you know what I mean at least..

Actually the cap8 is the most expensive item in the game...

It seems we are getting along fine with it as it is, why unbalence the whole thing in the hope that something good might come of it?

This logic restores my faith in...
Something.
I think.
