What happens if I change advanced race to basic race?

[Mietlan]

This we all know:

NOTE: You can change advanced race to advanced race as long as you have race changes left to use. There are no ill effects.
BUT - If you change races (to a 'basic' race) you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE BACK to an advanced (post ascension) race -- at least not without reaching ascension again.

Advanced Races Benefits:
*Bigger weapons
*Each time you reach ascension level...either initially or with each ascended infusion -- you get a 5% bonus to covert, 5% bonus to attack, 5% bonus to defence, and 5% bonus to income.
(If it was you 2nd 'infusion' after initial ascension, you would be at 15% in all stats, as an example...)
*Be the envy of all basic races!

If you change races to a basic race, and choose to use an advanced race again on repeat ascension, you start at the minimum 5% bonus ... even if it is your 2nd, or 3rd, or 5th, time to reach ascension!
In short - you lose all cumulitive bonuses when you change races away from an advanced race! And cannot choose to be that race again until ascension is obtained again!


On the plus side, you can change races with no penalty (aside from that mentioned above!!)
Your weapons will be sold at cost, and the Naquadah deposited into your offsite storage.
Your cumulitive race bonuses, of course, will disappear. You will revert to JUST the bonuses of the race you choose.

But I have few questions:
1. Do I keep UP?
2. Do I keep cov/anti-cov lvls?
3. Do I keep MS? If yes does it change his powers? Ascended race MS has power as a goa'uld ship...

tauri: strike 1,9mil, defence 3,0
asgard: strike 1,6mil, def 3,6mil
gualuld=ascended: strike 1,99mil, def 2,99mil
repli: strike 2.1mil, def3.2..I m not 100%

...so if I change to replicator my MS should be stronger ?
4. What happens to ascended account? Its not descension on ascended, just changing race to basic, so I should keep ascended acc, right?
I saw some accounts on ascended with didn't have main name after god quest...
5. Did anyone did it before?

Thanks

i dont know anyone to ask that has done it. dont sound very logical thing to do. unless you where like a prior and decided didnt want to ascend any more.

It is a very logical thing to do.
If you have a 200k up (or any kind of up)
the amount of uu's you have to sacrifice are massively less if you are at prior level than lg or ag level. and you still get the same amount of app's

I believe though if you deascend yourself just to reascend you still have to pay the AP levels of what ever level you were on but you must start at the beginning for bonuses in main.

First thanks for responce
Second, I'm a LG+1.
I'm asking becouse I find more fun playing non ascended race than ascended.
I like playing ascended, thats why I don't want to descend myself.
I'm thinking about taking back basic race and never ascend.
But like I've asked in first post I don't know what will exacly happen.

[_Rube_Dragon_]

be one of the first to find out and thanks uro i didnt think of that

[Mietlan]

Maybe I will but not now
Here is something from non ascended race "changing race" window:

When changing race, all of your current stats and weapons WILL BE LOST!
You will lose your commander, and all your technology.
You will LOSE everything in your offsite storage (the 'bank'),
you will also LOSE all trained and super-trained units and covert operatives (spies).
You will KEEP your covert skills, unit production, mothership, miners, untrained military, mercs, and on hand resources.

If you wish to keep your current stats or weapons or commander or technology or trained units,or covert agents, or 'banked' resources, do NOT change your race. Such is the cost of a transformation.


If you wish to change race, accepting the losses above, you may now choose a new race.

Maybe this set of rules works: ascended -> basic...


Anyway thanks again for answers
Cheers

Probably you're right.

Hmm, interesting idea....

I think you'd probably lose your stuff, honestly. Who knows though.
