Base Repricing
1) How will the repricing of bases affect you personally?
Personally I will be restructuring 3 bases because of the changes to the pricing. That is cool I enjoy doing the bases and I have some ideas I will be able to implement finally because prestige will no longer be an issue.
2) Will you dismantle your base to gain the additional prestige from the repricing?
yes 8o% for one and 60% for the other two.
3) How long would this process take you if you were to engage in this practice?
One of the bases will be going to the largest available plot size, I am estimating between 40 to 100 hours for that base to start with more over time. 40 to 100 hours for the other two combined until completion.
4) What are the positive and negative concerns regarding repricing?
Lower prices is typically always a positive. But with the lower prices I think there will be an increase in single user sg's regardless of the rent that seems to be coming. Which will force a run on the market for salvage.
5) How will this feature affect you long term and short term?
Long term I will have some pretty bases to show off. Short term I will not be able to enjoy the newer content and systems until I am done with the bases. (my own preference)
Base Salvage Exchange to Invention Salvage
1) What is the negative effect on your base for this feature implementation?
I am currently hording influence/salvage/components as much as I can on live to make sure I have all the influence/salvage/components I will need once I13 hits live.
2) What is the positive effect on your base for this feature implementation?
Mass expansion and upgrades to the things I have been wanting for a while.
SG members will be able to share invention salvage.
3) How long will it take you to adjust to learning this new system?
I already know how to use it. It took 5 minutes max.
4) What side effects to this system do you currently see from transitioning the old to new system?
theft, cost to base builder, Time to convert old to brainstorms.
The amount of time running back and forth to the salvage racks trying to find the correct salvage for what I am trying to make. Before I was able to load up on hundreds of base components and go to work.
I think that the salvage racks should be able to hold the maximum that anyone can carry on them as a level 50.
The amount of salvage a rack holds will cause and increase to the rent. (one paper mission should to take care of that)
My sg's are small so each member will most likely want there own salvage rack so they can trade between their alts which is fine but with the limitation on storage a base can hold that will limit other types of storage to be available.
5) What security concerns do you have regarding this change?
I am fearful of adding new members to my sg not knowing how honorable they are which would make me lock everything down.
Additional Notes:
I find it intriguing how the salvage change was implemented and no explanation other than it was confusing to some was given.
What are the possiblities of getting the "magic doors" back with out raid pathing?
