About the armors

[LaWey]

This is one of bestest decisions. Never bought fighter armors less then AU8 even i was noob, because - what a sense of this action? While heavy armors have significant differences between cargo usage(what important around equipment) and cost, all fighter's armors except AU8 dont had any sense.

Do we get a refund of the difference between the previous and current prices?

I mean, in the last weeks I've spent about 970 mils on setting up 25 shared ships, 22 of which got an AU (AU8 back then). In my case the difference would be about 215mils, or 22,17 % of my expenses spent on those ships in less than a month.

It almost sounded like the OP of this thread was like a child complaining that some other new kid got more candy for less price. i don't see how it would really kill any part of the economy. I think it would add more sales of snubs and snub PvP being increased for duelers . Devs might consider making an additional twist to armor upgrades by adjusting for mass momentum vs the thrust to counter/turn ships ( the more mass forward, the more thrust you would need to counter mass energy making for slower handling) This would force people to choose balance between agility vs armor. Unless AU8 is the only armor on the market for snubs now.

It's nice to see some of you people haven't changed.

Reducing armour costs pretty much drops the major barrier to entry in the realm of being competitive in PvP. My preferred solution would be to bake 2.5x armour into everything by default and leave armour upgrades as something mounted on transports and capitals.

Thyrzul, look at it this way. I just came back to this game yesterday. I've been playing on and off since 2008. I too have spent several billion on armour upgrades. And I'm pretty dang pleased with the 5mil cost now that I have a grand total of 8mil to my name.

We're be nicer about it nowadays, but controversy will always be butter in an player-oriented RP community. Sometimes moreso nowadays as player decisions materially impact the mod storyline now.

Dude, did you even play 4.85? It was objectively bad. There was so much broken stuff going on. Take off your rose tinted glasses, you only enjoyed it because of the atmosphere, which even then isn't much different than now sans the higher population.
