Have we determined if it's bug or intentional that chassis dealers only offer 500 credits for L10 parts instead of 10k like they should? I'm sitting on like... 300+ L10 parts cause it's easier for me to throw them on a vendor in backpacks, taking up database space, than to haul them all to the nearest starport for a whopping 25k when I should be getting 500k. Meh, time to start bugging it on the daily bug tracker I guess.

I wish I knew about that 500 credit thing sooner! Some how I ended up with a lvl 10 part fighting tier3s (could just have been left over from a previous jaunt) and I sold it thinking it was lvl 1 or below. I'm beating myself up over it today. They definently need to fix this! Especially for people like me who don't have vendors to sell anything on.

It is a known issue from beta that Lv10 parts sell for 500 creds to the chasis dealer. Seems silly to me that they are worth less than Lv1 parts.

And no you don't vid, those 300 parts are almost entirely junk, few decent items I'd fish out before selling, but lots of armor 10+ speed DI's, tons of pretty much worthless reactors, shields, less than spectacular boosters, and a far too many capacitors, considering the relative rarity of loot that would improve on what I have. (those 300 don't include2 good L10 engines I'm working on, or my L10 gun cache, which is up to almost 40 now...)Message Edited by Eaca on 02-02-2005 03:24 PM

I always assumed that it was an intentional thing so that players would be encouraged to collect level 10 components to RE, or to sell to shipwrights.

Well, lets take a low variable stat item such as say, a reactor (armor is lower, but I've never looted anything above L6 that was worth a damn relative to crafted). 3 stats on reactor armor/HP, mass, and gen rate, so you need 7 fillers. When you have 1 good armor/HP reactor, a good low mass one, waiting on a decent L10 gen rate reactor, and have about 30 other reactors, well then 23 of those reactors are junk. Things like guns have 9 relavent stats, and possibly a color gun, if none of the other guns are the type of blaster patern you want. An L10 gun could feasabily have 0 fillers.

Even junk can be RE'd. Any set can provide Firespray Schematic pieces. Find a Shipwright and make a new friend.

Yeah I've had 3 shipwrights so far ask me to stop bringing them stuff, it was just too much. They don't want L10 stuff anyway, at least not at 10k a pop. They statistially have the same chance of getting a FS disk from a 100k L10 RE as they do a 1k L1 RE, which do you think they want? Plus generally SW's only get junk, so they don't need a ton of "filler" parts, the best they could do with the parts I'd sell them is RE something mediocre, nothing they could use to recoup the cost on.

I'm going to bet you don't need the credits, so don't try to make so much money off of the SW. You get 5k per set of level 10 parts at the chassis dealer. Sell them to the SW for that, or preferably less. Make the SW happy to get parts from you for the sole purpose of RE'ing and trashing them. You get a SW with a better chance of FS schem parts you likes you... win-win, from my point of view.
