a new rare artifact or device - the Deconstructor

Suggestions Balance
1

We already got an artifact in our Armory/Workshop and it can be crafted. It’s called the Duplicator.

 

Today, I am announcing a new, rare and hard to get artifact, called the Deconstructor.

 

Deconstructor’s description :

 

Deconstructor is like a disassembly device. Once it is used, it is gone and a new one is required to craft, if necessary.

It can only be used, when you want to fully salvage a ship and that ship can only be a Secret Project.

it must be crafted in the Workshop , like the Duplicator artifact or bought in the Shop directly.

 

Crafting cost :

5 Processing Blocks

5 Screened Batteries

5 Computing Chips

 

1st resource:  7 units  (developers should decide the type of used resources)

2nd resource: 7 units

3rd resource: 7 units

4th resource: 7 units

5th resource: 7 units

 

Galactic Standards cost : 400 GS suggested and most overall accepted GS price - 500 GS (developers should decide, if they agree)

Note: Vote poll still counts for the old values.

 

What does it do?

It does not put any penalties on your resources, which were used to produce a ship’s part.

Your ship parts , instead of used listed resources, will be put back in your Armory/Workshop, without any loss in resources and Monocrystals.

 

Current normal deconstruction costs or losses in the normal deconstruction process are unknown at this time, but some sources say, that the resource loss cost is 33% for all invested resources, while others claim, that it is 33%, but with 100% loss for the Monocrystals.

 

What do I lose and what do I keep, when using Deconstructor artifact?

You lose all of your invested credits permanently and you lose all of your invested synergy ranks.

You keep all of your resources invested, which were necessary, to create a ship part, because you get the same ship part/s back, when using it.

 

 

Do not forget to vote!

 

 

 

Thank you,

Sincerely, Koromac

 

 

 

Reasons for edit: updated information of economic nature

Updated :

 

Deconstructor now has the ability to also fully deconstruct (not salvage) any weapon, module and equipment item, while you get all 100% of resources back.

You can only use Deconstructor on any Mark 5 item (orange color) and Secret Project ship. Such option will be available in the Workshop, next to salvage button, or instead of salvage button.

Deconstructor can be manufactured in the Workshop , or bought with Galactic Standards in the Shop.

There is only 1 type of Deconstructor - for an universal use.

 

Resource crafting cost: (universal use - Secret Project ship deconstruction and Mark 5 item deconstruction)

 

Workshop :

 

1st resource:  Screened Battery    (7-10 units)

2nd resource: Graphite Plate        (7-10 units)

3rd resource:  Pure Silicon            (7-10 units)

4th resource:  Computing Chip      (7-10 units)

5th resource:  Osmium Crystals     (7-10 units)

6th resource.  Metal Blank             (7-10 units) - (optional resource)

 

and/or 500-750 Galactic Standards (item can be acquired from the Store )

 

 

This is the final modification on this thread.

Great idea, but I think the costs are a bit too low. 400 GS and the stated resources for one of these is a bit cheap to completely rebuild your ship for no loss of parts. I mean, sure, whatever new ship parts you would add on, you would need to get the resources for them, but you would be getting all of your parts back (1/3 more than normal, which can easily be worth over 100 monocrystals).

 

I think upping the GS price to around 750 and changing the crafting recipe so that it involves more valuable parts (maybe something along the lines of this: 2 monocrystals, 4 computing chips, 3 osmium crystals, 5 screened batteries, 4 processing blocks.) This way it would take some effort to build this item, but it is still relatively easy to get.

Yes, my original intended GS price was 500 and some other crafting parts may also need to be added. We don’t only need 3 different kinds of resources and the numbers could get higher, close to 8-10 per resources.

Thanks for your input.

 

We can discuss the correct price and the functionality of this device further.

What is the need for this? Why should the devs implement something like this?

I knew that you would like it. xD

I read. I am still confused. So instead of breaking the ship parts down into its elements of creation, it stores the whole ship part as one entity? Sorry, been a long day :stuck_out_tongue:

We got 2 possibilities.

 

We get all resources back - listed as salvaged components.

or

We get all ship parts back - listed as ship parts and not components.

Gathering resources is not only time consuming, but demanding and each deconstruction costs a lot.

Currently we do not have fully customizable ship’s ranks and we got ordinary 9 of 10 slots.

8 of 10 people agrees, that Secret Project should offer us 1 additional spot, but no more than 3 in each category.

The point is, that in the event of some great or changed balancing, we may need to adjust our build.

 

However, if you think that this module is too precious, there is one limitation, we could add.

When you use it, You cannot using again, until certain time expires.

For example, even if you got more Deconstructors in your Armory/Workshop, you may have to wait, until cooldown expires.

Cooldown period could be 72 hours (3 days) or more.

Does the cost means using resources and also GS or you choose one of them? If its mandatory to use GS, i wouldnt use it. If you only need to use resources, their required amount should be highly increased (over 50 each).

No, just one of them. So the resources OR GS, as with the Duplicator.

This.

We may need to adjust the type of resources and number and possibly GS cost.

I really really like this idea.  Only suggestion is the costs need to be higher, other than that, I fully support it

SInce it will be much more useful than a Duplicator, I agree with you.

What is your acceptable GS price and type and number of resources to craft one?

 

Thank you.

Remove crafting option

Add to shop under “Pro tools” for 1500 gs (?)

I dunno a reasonable gs cost, unfortunately.

Crafting option for Deconstructor must exist.

For those, who have enough money - GS and not enough resources, this is possible alternate way of getting one such item.

I think that maximum reasonable price for this should be 1000 GS.

As for the resource costs : I think that we need 5 different types of resources and every and each type needs to have 10 units.

18

I gathered the feedback from multiple sources.

Most of them agree on the updated numbers, written on my 1st post.

 

Deconstructor/Disassembly artifact or device

 

Most commonly accepted GS price: 1000 GS for 1 device

Crafting/Resource cost: 5 different types of resources , each of them requires 10 units for 1 device

Developers should decide the types.

 

 

 

Thank you.

+1 nice idea

Just make gold standart option to keep 100% resources when disassembling craft ship
