Rebalance Nomad Remains

[diamond1]

So, I made a thread about this before, but I didn't do it justice. This time I will talk about everything that can be done to fix nomad remains; not just one piece of the problem.

Firstly, their sale price to NPC's should be rebalanced, so that more people will sell them to NPC's. This will take some out of the economy, so that their value to players can increase as less are available. As it stands, NPC's pay next to nothing for remains.

At the moment, Nomad Fighter remains sell for $5000 each, Nomad Gunboat Remains sell for $20,000 Each, and Nomad Battlesihp Remains sell for $45,000 Each. A select few bases pay 2-3 times as much, but it still amounts to nothing considering the difficulty in obtaining these items.

The first problem is that Nomad Cruisers drop 5x Nomad Gunboat Remains. That does not increase their value; it decreases it by flooding the market with a huge supply that by far exceeds the needs of the community. Instead, they should be given Nomad Cruiser Remains.

Let's take a look at NPC captains.

Fighter pilots are worth $5000 at most bases, and $10,000-28,000 at specific locations for specific pilots.
Gunboat pilots are worth $25,000 at select bases, and up to $150,000 at specific locations.
Cruiser pilots are worth $50,000 at select bases, and up to $500,000 at specific locations.
Battleship pilots are worth $100,000 at select bases, and up to $1,500,000 at specific locations.

Considering that Nomads are significantly harder to defeat, and that their remains are valuable to researched and used in technological development, they should be more valuable; not less. lol. Unfortunately unless you were to buff their armour, They're still pretty easy. You could replace the marduks with Ishtar's and then people would be struggling a lot for remains.

TL;DR:

[b]I would suggest the following values for Nomad Remains:

Nomad Fighter Remains: $20,000 at most bases, and up to $100,000 at specific locations.
Nomad Gunboat Remains: $50,000 at most bases, and up to $250,000 at specific locations.
Nomad Cruiser Remains: $100,000 at most bases, and up to $1,000,000 at specific locations.
Nomad Battleship Remains: $200,000 at most bases, and up to $3,000,000 at specific locations.

Nomad fighter remains are currently selling for $500k-1mil each in the marketplace, while Nomad Gunboat remains currently sell for $200k-1mil, and Nomad Battleship remains sell for $15mil.

Just a month ago, Nomad Gunboat remains were selling for 2.5-5mil, but their value has drastically decreased.

I still see a few bases buying fighters for 800k, gunboats for 2.5-3m and battleship remains for 25-30 in selected places. I'm not sure where you're getting these from, but many bases are in the other end of the field. Most people drop the prices down low because they got their own ships to farm up said remains. And let's be honest, Fighting nomads nowadays are not hard. Remove the torpedoes and hurricanes like good ole days, and watch that rise up again. These selective missiles just made farming easier. And if you want to make money, Nomads are not the way to go. There are better methods than fighting nomads. However, Considering the profit-makers nowadays, this probbably isn't a bad idea. I find that cruisers are far more common than the battleships when looking for BS remains so you probbably would make more overall than through selling BS remains.
