Re: Crafting in Perpetuum - Discussion
Calio, great post!
Just to build on your idea:
All prototypes can be made with any type of enhancer (small bonus only), adding flavour, and the prototype then created becomes locked, such that in cannot be reverse engineered.
Why is this good?
It builds on current system rather than revamping everything
It adds more flavour to modules
It makes prototypes more useful than for pure RE
Prototypes are inherently quite expensive, so allows people to 'pimp' their bots
In general, I think 'locking' a prototype from being reverse engineered would be great. For example, I would often love to sell prototypes to combat players, but the risk of RE makes it a hard decision.
Also I would like to see limited run CTs that prototypers/producers could sell without screwing themselves over. That way you could sell CT's but still control how they are used.
