So what of rewards. So far we have some good suggestions including Wild Noralgis from Line (here) although I think it should be quite a rare plant - nothing like the forests of Helio and Triand you find on alpha/beta.
We also have good ideas for NPC farming buffs.
A further reward to throw into the mix would be a very large increase in facility points but not by just increasing the points on the facility. To use factory as an example, currently on alpha 250-300 points is not difficult to achieve - a module/bot can be produced for between 112-114% of base materials.
On gamma a factory facility should be able to push 1500 points at the top end whilst maintaining the balance between the significance of extensions, the CT and the facility. This would mean a module/bot could be produced for about 103-104% of base materials.
To avoid diminishing the value of the extensions players have sunk their EP into, all tech levels of facility have a base of 400 points upgradeable to 500 points but the Standard will double points from extensions, the advanced triple them and the hi-tech quadruple them. A small buff to the calibration lab and/or decoder forge and about 1500 points would be achieved with roughly a third of the points contributed by each of CT, facility and extensions.
Combine this with a similar system for refinery, RE and proto and suddenly we have a good reward for gamma
To clarify I think you mean something like this:
Standard facility= x2 extension multiplier
Advanced facility= x3 extension multiplier
Hi-tech facility= x4 extension multiplier
I think this is a great addition to the reward for gamma, along with others this would be a good idea for change.
