Buying ships with value of blocks

[siserith]

i just thougt about this and it would be amazing if we could put a bunch of blocks into a *box* and have the credit value of them pool up and be able to use that credit value to buy cataloged ships from shops the blocks being consumed and stored/eaten by the shop thus giving you your ship. also the shop max stock should be upped to 25k 50k or 100k and be allowd to be changed on servers

currentley it is just too hard to get credits and spawn in your ships

Edits: and another idea is having each block have a *value* that allows you to build other blocks with this value say like in a shipyard

say multiple values like weapons blocks would be a *weapons value* power computors and shields should become a systems value. and hul should becomae a hull value

ps i havent been on the game in two weeks due to going on vacation so if this has somehow been added in the time i've been gone tell me

The shop cap was increased with the last update.
Also, default is to now buy ships from the cataloge with the appropriate blocks, not credits.

yes but we should be able to put in our blocks for a "sell value" and if you put in enoguh blocks of any type. mayby not the actuall blocks that are in your ship.. but enough blocks to reach the credit value of your ship.

So what you are saying is a box that:

1 - stores blocks
2 - accumulates their value in redits
3 - is sold to the shop
4 - in return for a ship?

Why can you not already do this? That is just bulk selling your items. It seems like a pointless feature really.

well the shops cant really store enough of anything you can sell to buy a ship

but yes

They got bumped up to 50,000 inventory per block. We also havent seen the rest of any sort of NPC/faction changes. I think we all need to realize that the current changes are not the ONLY changes that will be happening in terms of resources and building ships.

Config-able shop stock would be nice(though really nice to have 0.8 spawn rate default back and finding shops on scanners).

 

[refirendum]

so you're supposing.... that we make buying ships easier than before they made the blueprint meta-item require you to gather the blocks before you were able to use the blueprint to get your ship? as in take a step back from the original system where you just paid the shop credits to buy a ship that materialized from nothing? sorry that's not a very helpful way to balance the game and make you feel the value and hard work that goes into earning your ship.

Even with 10k limit you could've sold only one computer type to cap, that would give you 150mil.

Second, you don't need to sell anything. You just need the materials now.

might as well use admin commands... lol
that would be just lazy and one HUGE step back
