One thing I know people hate is when they have a massive amount of AP, and all they pull are a bunch of artis that cost no more than 500 AP. It should be readjusted to where that when you pull from the draw, you get the most AP expensive arti you can afford, and not waste it all on probes.

wouldn't this become equally as annoying for getting lower quality arti's.... i get 1K arti per hour, so i would miss out on getting flux probes cos i would always get the 950 void shell/repair nanode..... other ppl with 4K arti/h would never even see a repair nanodrone :mrgreen:

-1

One of the main balances of artifacts is that they're random; if this were implemented I'd probably just leave my artifact points the way the are and collect every hour, which would get me a ton of Rescued Prisoners (and Continuum Beacons, but still). It could also make it very likely that you would just never get what you actually want.

I think you should be able to choose which arts you want, at a 2x or 3x Ap price.

No, we should be able to choose the ones we want. We have the AP points, so we should be able to go into a little market area, pick the arti we can afford, and get that one. If we used this same system with the badges, than the badges wouldn't even be worth getting if we only get random items. I may want to go get an item for my ship. It costs a few badges. But it's random so I get an item for my ship instead.

Yeah, but badges are more difficult to get. Artifact points right now are balanced so that it only works if it's random. If people could just choose what they wanted I'd get a few dozen Rescued Prisoners a day, which would be ridiculous.

Um.... thats non realistic and unbalanced, When your receiving artifacts from a planet you dont know what artifact it is.

better yet, why not do like minerals do....instead of click after click, just one click and all your arti points get dumped. and a list of what you got shows up just like the minerals do. shipment consist of.......
