Topic: Craft System Expansion
Original idea has been taken from Neocron (may Crahn bless you).
Each stuff (it doesn't affect robots) have some stats - cycle time, range, effect strength, negative effect strength. Right now they're static and can be changed only by tier (extensions aren't count here). Now what do I offer:
- add new stat - quality (purpose exlained below)
- take current stats values as 100% and add borders 1%-120% for them
- make all syndicate offers and lootable things stats at 1-25% for loot and 25-50% for syndicate
- make new crafting extensions (or link current somehow) that will affect quality of producing items - 50-75% with zero skills and moving borders up to 90-100% when raising an extensions
- add a chance to randomly produce things with stats higher than 100%, up to 120%. Chance may be affected by extensions, factory level and moon position Also those things should be named, like "Standart Sensor Amplifier constructed by Line" or "Braviar ECCM constructed by DEV Alf"
- make items damageable while using or being hit. base quality (only if produced) should be 120%/120%. When it got damages it decreases down to 1%/120% and can't be used (even right on the field if you're unlucky) until repaired. When repaired, base quality value is reducing aswell (117%/117%, 115%/115% etc, down to 1%/1%). Decreasing of quality can be affected by repair extension aswell.
- (optional) make quality affect other stats - less quality you have, less stats you will get. Can be based on current or max value of quality.
- add some other things (like slots, mods that should be farmed only, etc)
What will we get:
- crafting will be more interesting and useful
- there will be very little chance to get 2 similar fits
- everything will be more "elastic" for balancing
- no nerfrage (or lesser at least)
- producer characters e-peen grown
- less "fit and run"
- less t1 farming stikes market
- more ways to trade (not just price undercut)
R.I.P. Chenoa, you'll never be forgotten.
DEV Zoom: Line, sorry, I was away for christmas.
