Alternative Basic Ammo Synthesis Recipes

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Magic premium ammo has been a bit of an issue, since it was released.
30% is a huge magic buff!
What were you thinking? Lol
You can't add a 30% buff to a multiplayer game!

My idea is simply make 1 alternative recipe for basic, and nerf premium ammo to more normal levels.
So instead of:
Basic
Standard
Premium

You have;
Element
Manufactured
Premium (+5~% damage)

Element is simply basic, renamed.
Manufactured, uses common manufactured materials, ideally those that drop from ships, but has no bonus. (basic ammo again)
Premium stays as is, but it's boost is significantly less, because 30% is insane! But premium will also refill your ammo to 100%. It's material costs can be reduced slightly too.

Thoughts?

It already so easy to mine for the Minerals needed. They are common and could be done pretty easy in the current build. It looks to be made easier in the next Build. Ya, the new mining might not so boring as it uses to be.

Or, easier:
-30% dmg across the board.

Basic = -30% dmg
Standard = -15% dmg
Premium = -0% dmg

Then, Premium is the stuff we buy at stations.

Basic is still cheap when you just need a reload.
Also helps deal with PvP synthesis spam for near-infinite frag/MC ammo.


As far as materials, I think the only things that should be used (at least for basic) should be things that are findable out-in-the-black. (heatsinks [rolleyes])
