Ship Prices discussion

Call Leviathan's value would go X3, and end up being the most expensive voodoo in the game. Since that to upgrade to level 20. Even on cheap ships, would cost tons. If it does still go up after level 10.

Which would make taking down a cheap ship to get to the good stuff, even harder.

We have a genius in the house...

I know right! *blush*

Also, this will make tail ships level 20, requiring 20 call leviathan to sink each tail. This will be the end to ship stealing, which to many is among the most exciting things one can do in the game.

Why couldn't we simply just change Call Levi to "Ship loses 2 levels".

Goldbars requirement is a detail. Somehow, I am not persuaded that adding 2k to the cost of a howker will change the course of the game. We made SoL 10 cost 18M when it used to cost 1.7M. The cost of a howker 10k when it costed 1k. We did this when there were no party cards, no newcomer missions, no credit exchange,etc etc. Then we doubled their cost in resources. DOUBLED. This happened recently. So, a 10% increase in the form of gold bars, is ineligible.

There is no way that anyone can prove that this will be in anyway harmful for the game while I can list at least 5 reasons why it will be better for the game.

Still, a tiny detail.

I agree with this.

There are two topics of discussion on this thread.
1. Gold bars required to build ships
2. Leveling Ships up to 20 and also ATT Points to 20.

CJ, as stated I am in favor of the gold bars, but my question is with the ATT's. Will the same 6 Ship Upgrades remain the same and be allowed to be upgraded to 20 (120 max att)? Or will there be 1 or 2 new ship upgrades that will need ATT Points assigned? The Ship Specialization topic has not been 100% decided on how it will work is why I ask. Knowing this will give us a better understanding of how to proceed with this topic.

In your original post you state

Every ship will get a list of new abilities.
-These abilities will be like the current upgrades (these will be regarded as basic abilities that EVERY ship has)

This would mean we will have 130 or 140 ATT ships at level 20.

Thank you for your feedback.
