Nope, that is just your new title when you ascend from NG to main.

It may be a dumb question but NG is the New Ground server right?

Re: Ascension Guide & Other Guides

How is the amount of starting naq calculated after an ascending?

Is it a fixed amount or how does it work?

Thanks.

You get one SS package worth of resources when you ascend. That never changes. (What does change is the starting UP, but that too is decided by the SS package.)
Sometimes KingdomGames offers extra resources for SS packages and Black Market purchases (like in the time between Christmas and Epiphany - Jan 6th), and that affects the value of your ascensions as well.

In any case, the amount is not fixed, but it is permanently linked to the value of an SS package. :D

Which, at this moment, means 15,200,000,000,000 Naquadah :)

Might also be worth mentioning that your weapons are sold for 75% of their original value when you ascend, and the price goes into your bank after you've ascended - so you can count on that naq as well.

Thank you for the fast reply. So can I state that the SS package can change in value...?

It just changed (I think it increased by a few trillions, but I'm not sure on the exact amount), so yeah, it can be expected to change again when admin wants to adjust the values again to match rates on the black market - whenever that may be.

*grin* It changes whenever supply and demand get 'out of sync' again. ;) It reflects the reality of trading. :-D

So, SS values change automatically?

Theoretically, they do. They should work similarly to the 'free AT' option, which reduces its values as it is used more often. Same should be true for Black Market prices (although I seem to remember admin actually adjusting those values manually).

In any case, yes. They do change.. whether entirely automatic or by admin's order is something you could inquire about at an admin meet. ;) Chances aplenty. This week's chats should go through, anyway. :)

Since I'm not ascending (nor buying any packages, I'm afraid), it was just curiosity - I thought you might know something we ordinary folks don't ;)
