This is just one example, the worst one.. I know most do not have a Polaris but let me start with that. Say you have a Polaris and you bring it up on the elevator... and it bugs out. Like you know the ships can do. So it says "claim" on the ASOP. So you claim it... whatever even stock loadout right? It's free just wait time. Well in 4.8 you don't get back ordinance. NONE of it. Not bullets. Not missiles. Not torpedoes. So you think ok I'll just pay for the missiles and bullets for the main gun, since rearming everything costs 14 million. YES 14 million. Only the button only says "rearm". There's no way to do just one of the things or partial reload or anything like that. YES you can manually reload all the torps and missiles via the Vehicle loadout manager... ok great. BUT what about the ballistics? How are we suppose to reload those if we just want that? and do not have 14 million for rearming. Before anyone starts on about "oh don't bring that out then if you can't afford to" but say I take the torps out because I don't want to worry about paying for those.. .well it's back to having no ammo for the guns after they run dry. Rearming costs you 14 million. Period. every single time unless you still have some of that ammo. What if some random dude with another Polaris (who might do this just because they have no ammo left) or even Idris decides to just ram you... and you die instantly. People will start griefing every single ship owner out there to cause grief over this! Oh you don't own a Polaris? you aren't effected then? nope. You still are.. if you want ballistics to be rearmed but not torps or missiles.. you pay the full amount! EVERY time you claim the ship.. which already has an increased cost (due to the new insurance to cover non standard equipment.. but that part of it is fine). Want ammo for ballistics on a Firebird because you can't afford all that for the missiles? Nope. 192k + to rearm that ship. Yes ok that ships main weapon is the missiles.. and 192k is expensive but doable. right? Ok what about your Perseus? Just want to rearm the cannons? You don't even use the torps? TOO BAD. If you claim the ship all the torps are gone and you can't rearm just the guns. Like at all. 560k to rearm those torps. Plus whatever the ballistics are. EVERY TIME you want to use the ship. Because claiming it doesn't give you back any ammo. This one I'm just pointing out how much it costs... to rearm an Eclipse... 891k. Yes ok you wouldn't worry about using just guns on that much.. but it's just a bit too god damn much! Nothing is paying enough for you to use size 9s on. Idris or Polaris mission? Yeah.. you'd be lucky to land ONE of those torps.. and that wouldn't even come close in killing it. Missions that have hammerheads or something? You'd might land one of those.. but he single torp costs more than the mission pays out! What's the point then? 297k per torp. Just for the stock ones. People complain about the solo Idris pilots... because big ass very hard to kill cap ship with big freaking laser on it... yes I know it's bugged at the moment.. but players and I think even CIG know that's an issue for people able to solo that... do they get as effected? NOPE. Who can stop them now? Players with torps? Nope cost far too much. WAIT, surely a fully crewed Perseus right? Yes maybe.. but 560k + to rearm every time you claim it. Because the torps are not optional. This actually just makes the solo Idris players (provided the laser doesn't stay bugged) even MORE of an issue! No shade at the Idris... but people shouldn't be soloing that thing! Oh you just want to rearm your Starlancer TAC? No problem. On top of that ballistics cost (which isn't' all that bad) you have to fork over 126k! EVERY time you want to use that ship after claiming it.. if you are using it in combat. Sure you can use energy weapons! of course. But what about ballistics? Are those just screwed now? Oh that shiv you have? you want to rearm the Breaknecks? Well did you forgot it has MISSILES too? oh those will cost you 63k now! Yes every single time you claim it. Oh you are a new player? with an Aurora Mk2 and combat module? 60k for the missiles.. plus ballistics.. if you just wanted to use only the ballistics? Too bad. Take off the module? Ok sure... still 20k for missiles. FOR A NEW PLAYER. who loses the ship due to bugs... mistakes.. you name it! Community from my point of view CIG is very much NOT ready to take this step. Most of the stuff costs too much. All the missile and torps need to cost half as much. Yes they should be expensive for size 10 torpedo's that fire from a cap ship. I agree. But 500k each? oh the Idris ones cost 1.7 million each! Come on now. The bigger more apparent issue is the lack of ability to rearm a certain number of things... yes you can manually rearm torps and missiles manually in the vehicle manager but you cannot do that with ballistics! They need to add something to the ship services that allows us to rearm exactly what we want to reload.. just like how we can manually refuel a certain amount! This is a must for this change CIG! If this goes live... in the state it's in. I'm just gonna walk away from the game for a while. I will also take my money with me... I had plans for ILW. I was gonna buy stuff. Why would i do that if I have no plans on playing this game anytime soon because of this issue? My suggestion, here is my creative feedback: Either add at the VERY least a way to manually rearm to the ship services or so we can reload just ballistics if we can't afford torps or missiles... OR don't do this change right now. If not that then at least provided ballistics reloads so that we have that on claim... and let us manually rearm the missiles and torps via vehicle loadout manager. I know this game is in alpha.. but holy hell the lack of foresight with this is ridiculous. I mean CIG you tried this once before and backed off... why? For the same reasons. Did anything change? No. You just added vehicle insurance. But what does that have to do with rearming? If the ships just came with ordinance like they do now.. sure ok we'll pay the extra for the insurance to keep non stock weapons. Because systems were properly added to deal with that. Fair enough. We knew one day that would come. But this? The rearm thing is FULL OF HOLES. Please listen to reason here. As this stands.. unless more changes are coming before live.. this isn't going to work.
