Following the addition of models for purchase by players for their POBs, we wanted to gather feedback concerning implementation and option availability from the community. For reference, I am posting the original request thread below. Please share your comments/thoughts here so we can improve these options for the community.
Custom POB Model Purchase Requests
Owners may submit requests for the purchase of custom POB models for their bases. Each owner may purchase a model at any time, but staff reserve the right to reject such a purchase if the model would not fit the location of the base or nature of the base's IFF: i.e., an asteroid model in direct orbit of a planet apart from a field, prison station for corporate bases, etc. Screens of each available model are provided below with designations.
Pricing
All base models are purchasable for Sci-Data, Credits, or a combination of Sci-Data and Credits as follows:
Core 1 - 200 Sci-Data or $6,000,000 Credits
Core 2 - 400 Sci-Data or $12,000,000 Credits
Core 3 - 800 Sci-Data or $24,000,000 Credits
Core 4 - 1600 Sci-Data or $48,000,000 Credits
As models are currently tied to core level and cannot be applied to higher or lower cores. Any player purchasing a Core 1, Core 2, or Core 3 model will be able to apply the purchase price of a previous model to the purchase price of a higher-core model:
Owner purchases Core 1 model for 200 Sci-Data. When upgraded to Core 2, the owner can pay 200 additional Sci-Data for a Core 2 model for a total spent of 400 Sci-Data.
Owner purchases Core 2 model for 400 Sci-Data. Instead of purchasing a Core 3 model at upgrade, the owner chooses to wait to purchase a Core 4 model. The Owner can purchase a Core 4 model for 1200 Sci-Data for a total spent of 1600 Sci-Data.
