Rebalance Nomad Remains

[diamond1]

Look, I'm not suggesting this, as a way of selling remains. I would not sell my remains to the NPC base, even with the proposed raised prices.

But, some people would sell their remains to NPC bases, in order to make quick, reliable cash without having to wait to sell their remains.

This would make the market less flooded with remains, with less people hoarding their remains to sell to players, since they'd at least be able to make something at NPC's.

This should result in their value to players going back up.

Remains have gotten incredibly low in value because people continue to flood the market with them, and everybody has more than they need.

I can't even sell my gunboat remains for $200k a piece.

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.

These bases are not buying them at this price -- they're trying to SELL them at this price -- and nobody is buying them.

I sold 1000 gunboat remains for 200mil the other day, and was happy to make the sale, despite the remains taking many, many hours to farm. They are worthless now; I can make faster money on NPC military capital missions than I can on nomad missions.

These newly suggested prices of mine are not meant to be the player value for these items. These are simply meant to help drain some of the excess materials out of the economy, ensuring that they will always be worth more than that to players, because if their value ever drops, they'll be sold to NPCs until they're rare again.

And, I know that farming nomads is not an effective way to make money, but trading gets boring, with the lack of pirates. I prefer to have several ways of making cash.

Event? I mean, Perhaps using the energy from the organic remains could be used to power a new wormhole to some place. I'm sure the nomadic remains can be used for some event or story progression upon the effort required to obtain.
