Preserving this thread I would like to see it continued further.

I like this one. The balancing of it might be tricky, but it looks (from 30 seconds of looking at it) quite easy to develop, as I don't think it requires any programming. Something i'll mull over for the next few days.


I would run the numbers on how much idle salvage exists in hangars because I think you'll find it's enough to utterly crash the market forever if you do this.

Not if you multiply mats reqs for rigs by 100 until that stockpile is gone, then take the reqs back down.

Howdy!

Im currently looking into the whole issue of the rigs. Going through the various loot tables and such I've already spotted quite a few problems, errors and so forth which I would like to fix, but I'm stepping lightly as I don't want to just go with guns blazing on this.

But I am interested in any sort of general feedback on what the situation is with T2 rigs from all angles. The salvage (difficulty, is it worth doing, is it too much of a nice?), to Mag. sites (are they worth doing?) , production and invention.

From our standpoint, we would like this to be a bit more commonplace, a bit more profitable for more people and less expensive.

We are also looking at a very short time-frame, so major changes might not happen. But I really like the idea of melting together T1 components into T2, so i'm gonna write it on a post-it and hang it on my monitor. It might be relatively easy to do, but the ratio might be a bit tricky to get right.

Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions are welcome!


That's going to play hell with T1 salvage prices. Also keep in mind that T2 rigs have more drawbacks and a higher calibration point cost. That said, I think melting is generally a good idea, but be ready for PvPer aggro (also be sure it isn't worth more to build a ship, insure it, then pop it for the salvage).
