Imagine you buy 4 archangels for say... 60 mil, and put them on your VHF, now imagine you meet some missilespamming libby who just manages to shoot them all off before dying.

What would you do?
Or how about another scenario, imagine you take your big bad BS into a fleet battle, and the enemy just happens to have 3 or 4 bombers with (duel) novas, you loose most of your guns, and the only ones left are the heavy dammage ones (Mortars, Battle Razors etc.), buying 14 primaries can cost upwards of 30 mil (more than 40 for 14 cerbs), and repairing a 25% health HM will cost you another 30 mil. While rebuying the nanos, bats and countermeasures will cost 700k.

Again, what would you do?

I have no idea what I would do, simply because I wouldn't be buying 4 archangels or any other 4 codies for that much, it's rediculous how much codies are.

On the other side of things, I really can't see myself owning a BS, I just totally don't have a reasonable use for say anything bigger than a Cruiser and even having one of those is starting to look like a serious stretch for an Indi like me, equipping my gunboat was no fun credit wise, even pulse turrets for GB's don't come that cheap.

To answer your question, if I was in that situation, I would probably be part of a faction that has ooodles of credits. I'd ask for $$ for repairs and the 'powers that be' (read as faction leader) would probably say planet/sun dive, because it's not very likely that they would just hand me the credits for repairs if there were a cheaper way out of it.

Anyways, as I have already said in a previous post;

I just want to know if it's doable, it would be up to the Admins to bring it into action.

@ Weedalot: look at the bottom of my posts, all of the ships my char flies are right there.

I would assume that what you are saying is that you have no idea of the implications of what you're suggesting.

And as such, you can trust those of us who use codenames or fly capital ships...
Or fly bombers. Take our word for it,



(Although it might be possible to do with some jiggery-pokery, I imagine - to answer your question.)

You can assume as much as you want, I do understand the implications, every time I fly a ship through a asteroid field with radiations warnings going off all over or fly thru Omega-41, I dock, make repairs and carry on.

Granted I don't fly a cap ship (not a major cap anyways)or a bomber (I *did* have a bomber, traded it for a Crow), but the costs are still there.

It would appear that if this was brought into play, people would have to trade more (oh noes!), to make sure they had the credits on hand (or easily transferable) for any major repairs that need to happen.

However, this is rapidly turning into a "Let's jump all over Mickk, he's had an idea that will cost us more credits" thread. *sigh*

This is an IDEA, it may not be doable and if it is doable, the Admins will probably put it to a vote, the result of which I can pretty well guess.

If it wasn't for an idea, DISCO wouldn't have happened.....

Mickk, not happening. It's not a bad idea, it just has bad implications, we can understand your intentions are good. But what'l really come out of this is Irritation, Outrage and Poverty. We can't afford to pay for repairs and re-equipping all the time. We'd all be broke every time a missile hits our hull which would be all too often.

[Sprolf]

Oh, we'd have to trade more?

Trust me. I spend more time trading than actually playing the game, (and I never have much capital, lucky if I have a hundred million spare) and I don't want to have to bother with *more* trading every time my cruiser gets destroyed.

Which is every time an enemy enters my scanner range, for the most part.
RP can't stop the lolwutters that inhabit the Omicrons, unfortunately.


And let's see how much these hypothetical repairs would cost.
Fifteen million for the two light mortars, and there's twelve million or something for the six pulses, and then about ten million for the rest. And that's being charitable.

I'm not sure if the fifteen million credit battleship shield would count.
And what about the armour upgrade?

I'll assume we're just talking weapons here.



In conclusion:
I think I'd probably stop playing the game if I had to re-buy equipment.


(And that's only a cruiser. I can't imagine how much a battleship would cost.)




In some remote cases, Playability > Realism

Looks like when I post these days, the reaction is either eyedropper or hose.

I spend an hour or so trading every time I log on and that gets me maybe 2-3 million credits.

I think it's been generally agreed that it's not going to happen and at this point I don't really care.

I used to play here a long time ago, I sorta remember Fellow Hoodlum being a bit of a handful for the Admins back then and also that he RP'd a really good pirate at the time.

I came back after a LONG time away to find a new version of Disco and was very pleased to discover that my forum account was STILL active, even if I did have get an e-mail sent to get the password again.

I would really like to see this thread closed, I'm totally over it.

I'm actually all for a hefty repair bill every time you die.
And planet dive should be same as death.
So what if your repair on the BS is expensive as hell?
Pay it or log off for 4 hours.
After I pirate a guy who resists, and speed trough 41 to get to Gamma i am pretty hurt. I dock, sell the goods and hit repair.
If i have to do it, why wouldn't you?
