Deck Dismantler (Artifact)
1 Received in Daily Shipment after every 500 ranks (ie: Rank 500, 1000, 1500...)

Dismantles all currently unused decks and converts them into raw materials. Add half the amount of dismantled decks to rank points.

Ex: Player has 200 unused decks and 60 Ship Bots. Player uses Ship Bots and now has 320 unused decks. Player uses Deck Dismantler and receives 160 rank points, all of the unused decks going away.

Ok, so I uninstall a bunch of marginally useful modules, burn all my 800+ shipbots, use this thing and go to a SSB and gain 1000+ Rank Points for attack? Sweet!

No.

Then what do you suggest? One rank point for every four decks? For every eight? This is the only way I see to make use of useless bots.

If there is ever a way to reduce decks it should have a major penalty, not a reward.

Well then are there any suggestions for improvement?

i dont think there should be a way to get rid of decks but more uses for ship bots would be nice.

Maybe it gives you AP points in a way of like 100 AP:1 Deck You don't get a lot back in comparison but you do get SOMETHING back for your shipbots.

For ship bots? Or for decreasing deck size?
Deck size maybe take away a rank points worth from every category for every deck removed. Even that might not be enough though.

just stop
just stop...

FFS, more Rank Points artifact idea. It would definitely give higher ranked a nice advantage the fact that they have thousands, if not more or less unused ship-bots. Negative ONE.

I won't mind just losing all my decks and going back to a SSB. No rank point rewarded just a one time use destroy all decks down to 20. everything just gets uninstalled and that is it.

Only downside is every high rank who is intelligent and has a few thousand shipbots lying around would do the same. Imagine trying to kill Mento with his 120k hull and 65k shields at 1k max damage. His shields would literally repair faster than you can damage him. Almost all players would become immortal while online and take thousands of energy to kill while offline killing pvp entirely. Ya...that's a great idea.

I like the idea of a new race mission chain where final mission gives an arti that allows you to reset your rank points and redistribute them however you choose. It would be available at rank 300, and would cost an insane amount of energy to finish (maybe 500k minimum), and a ton of arti's to complete each mission in the chain.

I know this isn't a change to something you suggested, but your suggestion made me think of this instead.

this comes out, im only gonna hoard it and would probably leave the game over it since i think that would cripple players who have no idea of how many ship bots they used so a lot of players will be knocked down to a SSB class and that is just a pain in the butt.

this sounds more like a punishment.

and its not even worth the trouble at all for GP, even if you get to lose 1000 ship bots and gain 1000 GP, you could spend 300 of those GP on a mission to fast rank and get yourself half the lost decks then use the system to always have GP, this idea will kill the game WAY more than it gives.

lol

Really? You dont see, some kind of new modules being added? granted, that will only use a handful of ship-bots, before you have the size to fit the maximum number, but, maybe you can see a CT lab item, that gives a planet structure? Or a daily/infinite mission, that uses them, would work for everyone.
Problem with the CT lab item, is if some low-ranked legion finds it, it takes up a slot they cant use, because they still need their ship-bots. And yes, i know there already is one, but thats a 1-time thing.
So, a mission is the perfect solution, infinite completions, each completion takes for example 25 ship-bots

Why not give the ship-bot two uses, add 2 decks or demolish 1 deck.
no rank points or resources back for demolishing, just remove 1 deck.

NO YOU FAILED BY ADDING TO MANNY DECKS NOW STOP WHINING
THIS HAS BEEN SUGGESTED ALMOST FROM THE START OF GL AND HAS BEEN REFUSED BECAUSE OF IMBALANCE EVERY SINGLE TIME

seriously just stop it -.-

Who's whining?
I was just commenting on a thread, thought i might start getting more involved in the forums.
You have just reminded me why I haven't in the past and won't be bothering in the future - thanks.

Oh and i haven't added too many decks, so i couldn't really give a flying whatsit what you do with ship-bots.

Go and have a lie down in a dark room you seem a bit angry.

Thanks indeed, this post was only supportive to inbalance the game
and nahim not angry , if anything i would dissapointed that you dont see this would destroy the game

I honestly wish I could post it as a sticky.
Do Not Suggest Ways To Reduce Ship Size.

If you do not understand why, then i beg of you, research why before debating the point.
There are no shortage of previous threads that explain it.

Personally, i have more ship bots in storage than i actually have decks. I dont mean that my ship bots would add more decks than i currently have, i mean i actually have more ship bots than decks.

I would love something to do with them.

But anything that allows redistribution of stats, especially deck size/tactical officers/engineers.. is inherently game destroying. I do not mean perhaps, or slightly, i mean utterly.
