Bring back cel!

Starfreak · 31.10.2009, 20:07

when i get destroyed and try to repair my sub, it all costs helix. i have none, and when i try to re-buy it, i end up having less cel than i need. it is getting to be a nuisance, so i request that there be at least one cel repair option for a destroyed sub. thes could help the newbies too, who have just gotten a new sub, have no helix, get destroyed, and hove nothing to repair it with. i would greatly appreciate it if you could bring back cel for at least 1 repair option, like rep a small amount, less than the helix options, for 1,000 cel or something.

Think this would be good... could keep it tied in with the 1:10 ratio you get transfering from helix to cel or up it a bit, say for 25% costing 700 helix you could have an option of 10k cel... id go for that =]

If you get destroyed, jump in a cadet sub and search for helix, if u don't want to.. then pay 2 euro, dollars whatever currency u use and buy 5k helix. Cell is so easy to earn that a Cel To Helix converter would be stupid, everyone would be full elite in a few days....

As long as I have played I have never had a CELL repair for a destroyed sub.. always helix, and for an elite sub it used to be way more expensive.. they have CUT the cost of repairs by half, and helix is easyer to find than ever, we still want the game to bit a bit of a challenge... dont we?

still, it would be nice to have at least ONE cel rep option. have less repair than the helix options, but enough to get you playing again. this game relies way too much on helix, and it should have at least ONE cel rep option.

If you are refering to reping battle damage or damage made by NPC's with out getting killed there is no need to pay out for repairs you just have to wait longer and your repair will cost you nothing you only pay if you want to speed it up.

I dont agree, I like the fact that if I down an elite player that they sometimes have to go back into a free sub to collect helix... its fun to watch and a big factor in clan wars. DP already made it easier to repair and making it easier again would just be silly, my oppinion.

Yoda man, unlike you not to read the full thread! We are talking about repairing a sub after it has been destroyed.

true, that would be kind of funny to watch high level elite players reduced to free subs, but what about those of us who get killed by them? they should make it so that if you get killed by someone more than 15 levels above you, a cel rep option would show up. but it would ONLY show if you get destroyed by something like a jaf diablo, a warmaran, or whatever the scion elite sub is, or whatever sub that's 15+ levels above you (those diablos are so annoying, they gun you down for no reason, just because they can).

Your starting to talk me round.. nice idea, I could go as far to say,
" Free repairs for all Non-Elite subs. "
EG: the Diabolo and the SX would still require helix to repair, I think maybe if you get downed by someone higher than you ( 15 Lvls ) and they get a bounty, maybe your repair could be free as well, OR cut by half again so 350 Helix instead of 700. But i dont know, its weird, I suppose I am just used to paying helix to rep

The helix repair system is to promote use of helix ( and use of your visa :P ) You can take ages to fish it out of the water ( FREE ), or you can pay 1.99 for 5k Helix and be back in the water in a flash. Its quite a good compromise that they offer,

"Free Or Not Free! That is the question"

yeah, your idea has some merit too lol....i suppose since BigPoint runs on money that it earns from it's games, it's system is okay. but, i still think that if we get killed by an elite player or any player more than 15 levels above you, the non-elite subs should get a cel option, while if you were in an elite sub, the helix prices would be slashed in half, like you said. but, as i stated in my last post, those options should only show up if you get killed by someone more than 15 levels above you, and would only show for the sub that you got killed in.

k you proposal of using cel to rep only a small amout like 1% will not click with BP. because i get the sub back cook dinner and viola! my sub is full HP and i'm full too =D. but the idea of having cel repairs for non elite ships is a good idea. but unlike wacky i propose that only sub that are non-elite and the lvl 1-15 subs can be REPed with cel. no cel reps for the X-class subs. and think about it. a x-sub costs 200k? and if you sell 1 you get 1/2 back. so now you need 100k. trade for 1 hr and you'll get your money back. i make 300k in 2 hrs but i'm in an elite. so a X should make 100k/hr.
