Upgrade standard ships to premium

Hellooooo

 

A little suggestion here :

Being able to pay a specific amount of Gs, to convert a standard ship to premium. 

 

You want to play a premium ship for the free synergy bonus, or *soon* voucher bonus and stuff ; but you enjoy a lot more some of your standard ships? 

 

Pay 5k GS, and your lovely prometeus X can now have premiums bonuses too. 

 

Sweet right? 

 

PS : I also thought that it could be cool to convert the surplus of synergy to make a ship premium.

Like pay 100 millions synergy and upgrade your ship to premium. 

Interesting idea. The only thing that would make this difficult is that your premium GS ships cannot be sold, so selling your “standard” premium ships would lose the option, I guess…?

Mind you, you’d have to be foolish to sell a ship.

Well, since selling a ship keep the synergy level, it would keep the “premium upgrade” too.

Well if you are upgrading it to premium then why would you be selling it? It would be fine to lock it I think as not many people will upgrade to premium on their way to r15, and if they did, then they could afford to buy credits or other premium currency items anyway ;p

instead of buying make it a grind quest, with materials that can be bought from rng crates

Nah that’s stupid to make it a “grind quest”. 

You have to farm for destroyers/brokk because they are new ships.

 

Here you already have the ship, you just add premium bonuses to it with the sole purpose of reducing the grind.

So it’s like paying licence. Not end game content. 

You mean to exchange or something? Cause Premium Ships are unique and they’re not upgraded versions of the regular. The problem is that regular ships costs credits, not GS, different currencies.

I just mean to give standard ships the premium status (for bonuses) against a bunch of GS.

Not because premiums are stronger, but to get the 20% free synergy/20%vouchers boost/+2 cargo slots/free duplicator on standard ships if you somehow prefer one standard ship over a premium

I also suggested this in my [Tokens](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/30324-secret-project-ships-special-passive-ability-tokens/) thread.

Your suggestion if too complex (and also only for vets which is non-sense because vets don’t need to grind less). 

While I’m just saying here “I want to pay a bit less then a casual premium ship, to get premiums bonuses on non-premium ships so I can grind with the ship I like”. 

Its not a bad idea but I doubt the economy will allow it.

The problem I see with this:
If you make it to cheap(cheaper) as premium ones, you are way better with doing this instead of buying a premium one.
If not, why don’t buy the premiums itself? The only disadvantage is most in stats.

I said cheaper, not free. Like 70-80% of a real premium. 

And not really, many premiums have fancy design (mauler), or cool passives (mauler), or graphic animations. 

And they are unique ships, so they give +1% fleet strength and you can equip both a standard AND the premium with 2 different builds.

 

Some may like more a premium ship (Like bear or Paralax in t3 which are really cool) over standard. While some may prefer standard ships over prems (Prometheus X anyone ?)

But in both cases, it’s money in the pocket of SC team.

Then how about giving stats that can be picked out for perma premium status?

What ?

Something like extra 5-10% energy regen, crit chance, damage, it can also be pre-adjusted to suit the ship by devs. I mean, if the premiums are collectable and anyone can have some of them, why not give an option for standard ships to be upgraded to a premium level? Although the premium syn gains are really good to have on standard ships, you fly what you like while gathering free syn, seems fair.

Nah pay to get premiums bonuses is fine. No need for extra stats and loots to get it for free.

The sole purpose of this suggestion is to grind less by paying, without being forced to play one specific ship. Not to make them more powerful. 

My bad then, just regular premium stuff it is then ![:D](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/006j.png “:D”)

>>And not really, many premiums have fancy design (mauler), or cool passives (mauler), or graphic animations. <<

Fancy design/animation = skin. No need to premium up something.
cool passives = stats.
Buy the premium instead if you want the stats.
No need for premiums.
What you suggest is to avoid the cons(different stats) and to have the pros(OS/grind bonuses).
So hell No to this. A disadvantage have to be in please if you want bonuses. Either as reduced amount of the pro or no suggestion at all!
