Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey, I got something to ask.

Firstly:Why does it require twice the price of replenishment to upgrade a torpedo stock when, if you have the required torpedo launchers, you could simply load them on the ship? Further more, what does the pricing account for? permit to use the weapon? computer programing? Launcher configuration?... I mean, I think that if a ship needs to upgrade its launchers in order to use a torpedo, don't you think that should be the requirement? I personally think that the replenish price should be the buy and refill pricing. Unless you plan on upgrading the tubes all together, which these torpedoes do not require.

Secondly: restricted torpedoes should have the same thing done for them as well. If a ship, like the Galaxy class star ship is the only one whom can equip a certain type of torpedo then, obviously other vessels would not be able to buy it so, people know this as a fact and don't go for it. Simply put, this is like the first argument, if a ship can already equip a torpedo stock with out needing a torpedo tube upgrade, then whats the point of the upgrade price?

I just need some clarification since, I saw no reason for the upgrade price to be there.

1.) that doesn't make sense with out a proper explanation. "Because he says so."

2.) I fixed the "error", even though I thought you said I would get a free load. confused

Man, I leave for a few hours and, once again, Balvear has to comment on SOMETHING. xd



The upgrade prices are there because I don't want people paying nothing for something that could benefit them greatly in combat.

Secondly, the "Upgrade Pricing," as you say, is more expensive because the launchers have to be tweaked in order to handle the more powerful plasma exhaust or slightly different configuration of the warhead, which generally requires a replacement of a very integrated part of the Starship's systems. And that takes alot of work, thus, lots of credits. I also did not want everyone upgrading to higher torpedoes too quickly, and wanted every upgrade to feel like an accomplishment.

Being able to trick your ship out super quickly just wouldn't be as entertaining, and would lover overall interest for involvement.

As for the replenish cost, torpedoes can be replicated (as far as canon is concerned). However, in order to create a more interesting atmosphere for combat and to make sure people don't just spam torpedoes, I added in the replenish cost, so that you can get more torpedoes for a cost from a station that can replicate them (DS12 or the Ferengi Outpost).

And, if that isn't good enough for you, then, as Kalinin said...

"Because I said so." And that's just the way it is.

Kalinin,

EACH person that takes part in the mission, no matter how small, is entitled a reward UP TO 30,000 Credits (and whatever you feel the need to add on as a bonus as far as cargo or whatever).

UP TO - Meaning that you can give them less if you feel their participation does not warrant the full 30,000.

ah okay
however its been done now so i leave it as it is .(indain giving not in my nature)
next time( if there is) i make sure to vary the reward money a bit more


you ran away and left me to be destroyed gonk

Hang on, I'm confused. Kal, is that 30,000 creds and a couple tons of cargo?
