Some days it can be nice to get a mass storage pod or alien starcharts in the artifact pool because you don't really feel like sitting there clicking away to get a bunch of artifacts...
But most days (like today) it would be nice if i didn't get that mass storage pod because i wanted to get lots of cool artifacts from my artifact pool.


Maybe there is a way we could make it so that the Mass storage Pod takes less artifact points to recieve.


i mean the alien star charts are fine at their present artifact point rate because you usually get something really cool from them. but i've got over 2000 cargo space on my ship now, and after 2500 i'm probably just going to scrap cargo increasing artifacts as i just don't need too much more space than what i've got now.

You mean the Data Discs.. Alien Star Charts have been discontinued. But I do agree that the MSP should be lowered in value. I would rather draw Tesseracts since they have a better Space/AP ratio.

Unless I have missed something fundamental couldn't you just draw your artifacts before building up 20k points? Instead of adjusting the cost of MSP's

No, people who are higher level get that many points overnight, some that many points per hour It would be nice if there was some way to set a maximum number of points to be used in the draw. There is a running joke in the Dysonians about duct taping another MSP to the ship as some are over 20k points per hour.

I think that's part of the point--they have to populate it with some things so people aren't constantly getting the really good things as much as possible. Artifacts can be much more useful than the other resources, so its rewards are random to offset that, to balance it a little more and give it some drawbacks.

i dont see why you guys are complaining. i would love to get a ton of mass storage pods. if i had 2000 cargo i would be so happy... every time i get a msp i do an imaginary fist pump cause i get an extra 60 cargo. i always try to keep my artifact points above 20k for the exact reason that i want as many as i possibly can get.

Yeah, I used to feel that way too, but eventually you get more than you really need.

I liked the mass storage pod when they where added but now I wish I got none and there is already a bunch of artifacts that people don't use that you get to do what you say FerrusManus. Got 22000 storage and don't use all of it and I'm fine with the tessact as for the star charts they are long gone.

Yes, and there are already Mass Storage Pods, so that doesn't mean anything.

I'm actually feeling a little more like you now Vekno; I hadn't realized quite how much space I'd need for all this Aidonium.

lol at 5 cargo space each and some modules require 30 of them to be built if not more its easily a minimum of 150 cargo. im just having trouble keeping space in my cargo. i get an msp, then fill up all 60 cargo in about a day to 2 days, then need another msp. i only have 750 cargo but i feel like i will never have enough...

I have 4390 cargo and I think that is enough for now. I know I will eventually research something that takes more Aidonium, but until then I would rather have more shots at what I want than get more MSP's.

I have 30,790 storage space and occasionally I scrap the MSP. I hate them.

Today is the second day I've let my artifacts get over 20,000. No MSP. I'll take any nobody else wants. :D

Well now I am at 33290 so in about a week I have gained about 2500 cargo space that I didn't need

Make the MSP shareable and some other artifacts modules too.

But to avoid multi-account abuse. Only a higher level can share to a lower one. This one no need anymore MSP or already have all the module he can install. I know I'm not the first who think create the wheel. I just remember this.

I like the sharable idea or you can give them I would like to trade them for the others artifact points a straight trade option say the market idea others have had. Still a button to click thats just removes them from your list of thing you get would be great so you can hit it again and start getting them again if you wanted. Much like what happened to terraformers spacial expanders and ice melters.

You could make a mission that uses mass storage pods. perhaps it could reward the warehouses.
