Material traders

[Whufc 2012]

Have a purchase option in material traders for the materials as grinding get tedious & boring & just limit the amount u can buy with the amount u can buy I.e. 50 tonnes of 1 item at a cost of 50k per ton & u can only purchase 10/15 different materials per material trader also it can be limited to once per month

So.... what mat exactly you failed to find this time?

I would like idea of ability to buy engineering mats. Nowadays credits are pretty worthless after certain point. Off course think prices should be very very high if you take that shortcut. Like for g5 stuff hundreds of millions per unit.

At "hundreds of millions per unit", nobody would bother.

Mat Traders laugh at your wheelbarrows of credits :\

At "hundreds of millions per unit", nobody would bother.

Well those ones who have a lot of cash, and need something very hard to find stuff small amounts, would bother. Not that I would take away current functionality of mat traders, just add an option to buy stuff from them. (And maybe sell too...)

Not going to happen. You still have to put in the time to engineer your ship. Otherwise just pay the engineer to do the upgrade, no need for materials.

The problem isn't engineering or material gathering. The problem is that the A rated build now is weak, so anything less is considered paper thin. That didn't use to be the case. Typical power creep. We are moving to a level where even engineering will be weak. Guardians left, now we can has their stuffs. Their stuffs are better than engineered stuffs. You have to wonder what new stuffs will emerge that is better than Guardian stuffs... maybe Guardian stuffs + Thargoid stuffs = Engineering Valhalla stuffs. Maybe that's in Raxxla. All this to kill other ships/Thargoids. I just want a better coffee maker.

If you're going to allow players to purchase mat's, you might as well just cut that entire phase of the process out and simply allow players to buy mod's directly from engineers instead.

Not commenting on whether that'd be a good thing or not.

No thanks. I like gathering materials, but I don't grind them out.
