This was a nice recovery item back in the day. Since it is not valid in it's old form, i suggest a retooling of the Radiant Weapons Locker.

When Opened it gives one Level Upgrade to your Radiant Surge Cannons to the next level from MkI-MKII, MkII-MkIII, Ect but only if your level allows for the upgrading of the cannons. the cannons still fall within their 100 level base to upgrade.

to receive this in artifact recovery, it would be a 10% chance and if successful would cost you 40K-60K artifact points.

each locker upgrades 1 cannon

i agree with that to a point.... those of us smaller people have a tough time as it is.... i have only ever gotten 3 mass storage pods.... now i never see them.... i have a total max of 5ok points a small chance with a 40=60 cost would garentee i wouldnt see one in a very long long time.... just saying

Could make it Scaleable based on your level too. remember you have to have the cannons first. the lockers will only upgrade 1 each. You could also set it at a 2% chance at a cost of 10k artifact points. I think a Radiant Weapons Locker back in the day was 10k artifact points also. So, that works. The lockers will only work if your level is compatable with the cannons next upgrade.1-99 mkI, 100-199 MkII, 200-299 MkIII ect. Your still going to have to wait to upgrade them so it gives you time to aquire the upgrades every 100 levels.

I think this seems fair considering that many bought the Radiant Surge Cannons when they first came out because we were under the impression that we only had to buy them once and they would self upgrade every 100 levels from when we installed them, only to find out later that to upgrade we were forced to repurchase the same thing over and over and over.

It shouldn't be in artifact drops, since you need to buy the Surge Cannons. Lots of people would not be able to use these at all.

it's a suggestion. the vote is to retool something we lost here. Fine, you want to make it an Ultra Rare NPC then?
Call it a Radiant Warp Lance? and make it drop the radiant Weapons Locker with the Surge Cannon Upgrade? Fine. I dont care how you do it, so long as we make it happen.

Not everyone can continuously keep forking over for the same weapon upgrade, when we were told when it first came out it would be a Scalable module, then they reneged.

The Very name of it Radiant "SURGE" cannon, Implies that it surges forward to be more powerful. How can it surge forward and be more powerful when you have to keep replacing it? The name doesn't match the Criteria.

Having the Cannons installed on your Ship unlocks the NPC to upgrade the cannon.

i dont know... i dont have radient surge cannons, so unless this ultra rare npc is going to give a radient surge cannon if you dont already have one, i dont think it should be in the game, otherwise i'd be bummed out i didnt get an arms carrier or a troop carrier. the easiest way to make dan change the way it is is if NO ONE BUYS THEM. if hes not making money off of it he'll change it.

THAT is exactly why i bought mine.....

It could be a GP option, but half the price of the Cannon or something, so players without the Cannons don't get these items, but people who buy them don't have to pay full price to upgrade either.

If it's an artifact drop, then perhaps buying the cannons could act as an unlock for then getting these arty drops. I think it's a nice idea in principle, but it should definitely be an extremely rare artifact if it was implemented.

idk, my main issue is once you've installed the cannons, then they don't upgrade with the ship, else I would have gotten them already. I keep thinking, well it will be more powerful if I just wait. Something that could get them up to their max adjusted level for my rank would make me want to buy them more.
