Should materials be buyable with cr

Thepirateorc · Oct 4, 2020

Materials can be quite the pain to obtain, from blowing up ships for manufactured materials that somehow still work to driving around a planet all day looking for raw materials.

If we were able to buy these materials then there would be less of a grind and it means more people would be able to participate in pvp etc.

Your thoughts

No need as we have the mat traders.

It would be nice as it's another thing I can spend credits on.

Lol they rip you off and frankly doesn't solve the problem

I'd like there to be less of em to have to collect or maybe easier to find
think the mat traders are way off though, maybe you can get better trades by doing missions with them or dependant on your status with the controlling faction

There is no problem for me, anything I have full bays of gets chucked at whatever I want at the traders and by not grinding at it I accumulate lots of full bays as I go. Easy come easy go.

I am not crazy about mats for credits, but I would like a Materials Trader that traded across types. I would cry if I could pay some Manufactured Goods for Raw Materials.

Short answer: No.

Nope, no mats for credits.
The Mat trader is a rip off, I agree with that, but then again, lower grade mats are very easy to obtain in higher numbers so it doesn't bother me.

Right but wheres the harm in allowing people buy material with their credits?

I'm only talking out of personal preference here.
Credits are even easier to obtain then lower grade mats making it way to easy to upgrade my ships to the max.
You might as wel sell fully G5 upgraded modules in outfit then.

That's a hard no. Remove the ability to synth premium ammo, and then ask again. My opinion might change.

Why is that a bad thing, it means more people can participate in activities that require a certain level of engineering to be effective.

That is a pretty good point

I went down to the hardware store and asked for some steel, and they told me I had to go mine the iron and the carbon myself.

Nope. The people who think they need to jump straight into an A-rated G5'd murder boat and get there by grinding don't hang around. They burn out and blame the game instead of their approach.

Buy them with credits, yes. Sell them for credits, no.
