Mothership app conversion rate

Just a thought as why the capacity cost on a mothership isnt included into the naq equation. And instead its the cost to buy the actual weapon that inflicts the damage.

As you all have probably noticed the cost to buy the capacity weapon is much much greater. This i feel could be one change brought in to allow for an easier ascension.

Whats your thoughts?

My thoughts?

Well i think about women, beer, playing video games, and how to next have teau'lc killed :P

Hope that helps :-D




And on a more serious note yes it should give a naq spent equivillent.

I’ve spent close to 1 trillion naq on my mothership only to get 5200 APP

MotherShip Naquadah equivalent 31,637,920,000 5,272

I do think that the naquadah equivalent should be done on the capacity cost too.

god i havnt even kept track of how much i have spent on my ms a lot but not as much as previously posted

but an equivalent boost from what is actually being spent is worthwhile

maybe having a 0.5 % boost for say 500-1000 spaces avaible bought and it would help with ascentions

tho biggher ms would grow exponentially as well

and slicky i think about those things as well

i agree

the ship should give APP for the total naq spended in it

excellent idea, i had thought of it myself - as i lost over 1,1 tril naq because it doesnt count

but i decided to carry on with ascending nevertheless - as i figured even if i suggested the update, and everyone thought it was a good idea it wouldnt be implemented, just as neither of other suggestions do

i totally agree it seems a waste of naq if u are ascending because u could spend it elsewhere and get the app points it does seem unfair

and i would like to see this included in the game it would be an nice little update to make the game better

Another thought, either you get reasonable points for your monthership, like a little less than naq spent equivillent (like normal weapons) or as it is not a physical part of your self you should get to keep it when you ascend.

Did Anubis not have a mothership after he ascended? Im sure he still had one. :P Just a thought?

i think its fine as it is tbh....

if you want an uber powerful MS and youve got huge army then thats your choice....theres enough points to be made in other areas....it also caters to the bigger players if its more APP via MS as they can afford more slots and weapons than most increasing the gap and arguement of peeps surging ahead...especically in ascention

i think points should actually be made in good amounts in conversion of UU to APP....that way seeing as the army limit sizes are in effect....extremely large accounts could in essence sacrifice large amounts of UU for APP and get good power there whilst reducing their main account back down to permissable raiding level or even further...

:wink:
