Scrap MS

[Grand Admiral Martin]

How about the ability to sell your weapons and shields on your mothership or even to sell it for scrap.

I know the later idea would rarely be needed unless you were really broke or if you were ascending. Ascending doesnt need a mothership so this could help alot out by freeing up 10, 20, 30 bil naq

I like the idea but maybe it should take time so people don't abuse it and decide to sell there mothership before a war. Like 24 hours to scrap, since it would take a while to properly disassemble a piece of machinery that size.

or just blow it up and hope salvagable materials fall from the blast area......

id like to sell SLOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!1 cause how much would you get from selling the shields and weapons? 70 or 80% of what they cost to buy??thats not much is it?

(or sell UP LOL )

good addition to the idea

OK how about options?

A: Blow it to pieces(instantaneous) get 10-50% of amount.
B: Disassemble(takes 24 hours) 70-90% of ammount.

I know a much more acceptable way
1: blow it to pieces, use teh scrap to melt it and use it otherwise (5% return)
2: disassemble, but since most of the shields and weapons are IN the MS and hard to take out it is a length and not very efficient way to do (10% return)

Of course you're only getting money for the shields and weapons you disasemble and have a chance of loosing slots because you removed the equipment incorrectly


People bone it. it's not going to happen

[Dagr]

It should be higher then 10%.

[urogard]

It should be higher then 10%.

It should be 0 since the shields and weapons are an unremovable part of the ms.

I agree. Although I wouldn't really mind being able to fully take all the shields and weapons off of my ship, their should be a heavy price for doing it.

The fact that you can buy slots & weapons independantly suggests that the motherships are of a modular design able to be extended without cause for concern. Because of this it should be possible to remove the weapons from the slots & get back 80-90% of the weapons cost when removing it from the slot to sell it.

Of course there should be a 20-30% that the slot will fuse closed when removing the weapon and will not function for others (ie you lose the slot)

Saying you shouldnt get anything back implies the motherships arent of a modular design but the the current implementation implies otherwise

EDIT: Naturally you shouldnt be able to sell slots & accept the losses of a certain number of slots if you choose to do this.

[Zeratul]

hmm... maybe 80% naq returned, every 15th-20th slot lost?

[urogard]

ok, one last reason why it should not get introduced.
if someone is annoying you and can kill your ms-es. then after he builds it up he can't sell the shields to retrieve some of the money and avoid loosing all the money he'd need to reequip the ship

[Tivadar]

i´m still witht he idea that weapons and slots CANNOT be sold!

BUt there should be a way to sell your hole MS ...of course you gonna get the naq for the slots and weps aswel, but only 50%-75% , not more ...

[Kroony]

lol auction off your MS to the highest bidder
