DonatorWhat does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Revert the price of VCminer repair kits back to 8k
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Yes, but was denied for a reason that makes no sense.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
People will base more, more opportunities to raid, more people will opt for passive income to RP.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
No negatives (as long as the VCminers continue to make as little as they do)
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
The change to the VCminer repair kit was suggested in order to make raiding more fun and rewarding, being able to ransom off vcminers for a decent price etc. However its had the opposite effect, as the change has made VCminers not worth buying. A full set of VCminers would cost roughly 600k and the repair kits in total would cost around 180k, all for a fraction of the income you would receive using herbalist or chemist. So now a lot of people who would normally base with VCminers aren't anymore, meaning fewer bases, meaning fewer raids. Before the change to VCminers, they were SO PERFECTLY BALANCED. The worst form of income, yet still allowing you to make something, very low risk, very low reward. Now they are super high risk, and super low reward. Its just not worth doing anymore... Even arguments that chemist and herbalist make basing worth it, its so risky only being able to use a pistol to defend, and you can't even count on team members helping you defend, because they have no reason to be basing with you, as they would make next to no money from it.
The reason this was denied was for the sake of raiders. That doesn't make sense, as expensive repair kits don't benefit raiders in the slightest. The suggestion that had the price changed claimed that people cannot ransom vcminers as the repair kits are too cheap, but literally, nobody ransoms VCminers, they are destroyed 99% of the time. And buffing the VCminers to accommodate the insane price of repair kits will just break the balance of the server even more. If you want raiding to be worth it, then give people more money for destroying printers, or re-add the VCminer USB. Not to mention, if you raid a base of 3 people and ransom their VCminers (If people actually did it) with the repair kit at 8k, you can make £120,000... That is more than reasonable, at 30k per repair kit, you'd be getting up to £540,000 for ransoming their VCminers...
