Thread: Salvage
Had lots of people ask me to provide harvester upgrades and could they please 'part exchange' for some rebate on their old BER 7 heavies ?
Well obviously BER 7 heavies are now totally and utterly useless, so I was thinking.. wouldn't it be nice if we could salvage some of the resources back from an old deed... even if they were all just grind material ore/metal at least it would give some value to all these old deeds that are just going to end up being deleted.
?
Like DAoC! Yes!
/sign or whatever. I totally agree, especially after all the changes that architect has been going through, I've been replacing components left and right.
Would help all professions... maybe instead of destroying that 20% condition gun a weaponsmith could salvage some resources out of it, enough to at least fill one box in the crafting screen... 2 extinct resources wouldn't be much use, heh.
Even easier would be the option to "replace" the harvesting mechanisms themselves. Keep the structure there and just remove the old 7 rate mech. and replace with a shiny new 10 rate mech. We could still charge a fair price, and it wouldn't leave use with the stockpile of old harvesters (which I'm still selling pretty well anyway) and no huge drain on resources as we have enough to build anyway with the bugs in buildings.
Another benefit would be adding decay to just the harvesting mech. That way we keep a renewable income. The actual structure doesn't decay, only the "operating" part. Just like getting a new engine for your car.
yay,, i second this movement.
Was actually thinking about it the other night.
