Type:Balance Bug: Codename weapons are unavailable to all players
Reproduction Steps:
Step 1: Try to get a Codename weapons *that is not fighter or dropped by wreck*
Prior to patch 5.0 Codename weapons could be purchased via forum RP and sci data from the Admin team or from RED station in Connecticut. That means that new and veteran players could get them via 2 ways. 1 player could trade or mine sci-data for up to 5-6 hours and have enough to buy a Codename.
After patch 5.0 Codename weapons are merged into PoBs, with tedious and expensive recipes (time consuming and frustrating to acquire). This means new and veteran players can get them only by purchasing them from people crafting them on PoBs or if they build their own PoB.
A very accurate calculation is seen here, with a price estimate that is 4 times higher than pre-patch.
Codename weapons should be available to all players - new, veteran, non-PoB enthusiasts.
They should be able to be purchased via Sci-Data, Credits or Player Craft (if you manage to balance the recipes).
