Re: Indy Changes: "Replace" Epriton in t1.
Again, i have to say that no matter how many modules your producing, the Epitron needs of making heavy mechs so dominates the market that the extra demand for espitium won't even phase it. Remember, you won't need espitium for T1, so only those producing t2-4 will be using epitron, and there's not 1000's of tiered modules being produced on alpha per week, which is what it would take to see any change.
Sure, T1 need no Epriton anymore ... but when the surce of High Quality Recycling is destroyed, you destroy the changs for new players to get into the T2+ production too as they will NEVER have any other source then Beta-sells.
The recycling source is simply a NEED to control the market.
As I allready mentioned:
a) if T1 doesn't give Epriton-Based Materials anymore the extension "High quality Recycling" will be 100% useless
b) Epriton price will skyrock
c) T2+ equip will become un-accessible for anyone not living on Beta lands (no, the rare drobs from NPC don't buffer it).
You want T1 to be new-producer stuff?
-> change the base quality of T1 stuff to 80% ME with 1. Decoders, 100% with 4. Decoders
That's all what is needed!
But don't touch the components!
T1 base ME = 80%
T2 base ME = 65%
T3 base ME = 50%
T4 base ME = 35%
New Producers can be competetive at the T1 market pritty quick while veteran Producer do the T3+ market.
PS: still limit the MAX ME for all items at 100% of corse ^^. So there no 150% T1 ME suddenly
