valid Supply Exchange

[sphdz_3153371 41]

Perhaps consider allowing players to exchange one supply type for an equivalent amount of another (equivalency based on supply price, of course).

For example, if I use booster drone as my main, and I have only 400 Boosted Damage supplies, but I have 18,592 Speed Boosts, it would sure be nice to exchange those extra thousands of speed boosts for Boosted Damage, instead of using crystals to buy more BD.

The reason i think this might be helpful is that the supplies you get from containers do not take into account your supply needs based on drone usage. You will still get 100 Speed Boosts even if you do not need that many. This would not be the case if players could "pull" for certain supply types from containers based on their supply needs, but i doubt that kind of gacha mechanic would be considered.

I think it's a bad idea!, Drones are very powerful and their weaknesses are their consumption of batteries and supplies, if this idea is added some drones will be useless like Brutus, and some drones become very powerful (crisis, booster, defender, hyperion, Trickster, Saboteur).

um, no it wont make a difference as buyers who have 9999gs and lots of supplies abuse those drones constantly in mm anyway
it would just give f2p players a better chance of being able to counter it

I agree with Master_Scope here. The reason I think this is a good idea is because buyer legends at 9999gs have thousands upon thousands of supplies and will never run out of them, no matter which drone they use, since they can always buy more. F2ps have a harder time doing this, because their crystal income is lower from not making in-game purchases/receiving enough battle fund due to low GS. 

In essence, it would make the game a bit more fair to f2ps, since their excess of one supply can be converted into a supply they need for the only drone they can afford.

You might say, why don't they just buy a drone that uses up the supplies they have too much of? The reason is that drones cost too much for f2ps to buy and upgrade, so there really is no incentive to buy more drones that use different supplies. The only players who may be interested in doing this are buyers with 9999gs.

To your point, I don't think that the weakness of a drone lies in its consumption of batteries and supplies; I think that a drone's weakness is in the effects that it does not have--for example, Trickster drone may increase speed, but it cannot increase armor like Defender. Even Crisis has the weakness of being able to use only 1 supply type at a time. If weakness is determined by batteries and consumption, then the most powerful drone by this logic would be Brutus (0 batteries, low supply consumption). I don't think this will make Brutus more useless, since most players who use Brutus are new players, who may need to convert excess SB into repair kits for example. I also don't think this will make crisis/booster/etc more powerful, since exchanging supplies will have no effect on the drone itself (upgrade level, active supply effect).

Yes add this idea because ideas that make sense must be added. 

Yeah we need it much. I only have 700 speedboost for omps,catching goldboxes using crisis . I have useless 20k mines

Status changed to Valid

It would be a very feasible Idea now considering that Batteries are no longer there, and you get way more mine than the supply you actually need.

But, there should be always be a catch, in this case, some heavy restriction:

• Normal supplies can't be exchanged for Nuclear energy or the upcoming Grenades (if they get introduced as supplies) or there is no point of them being rare, or the      conversion rate should be highly significant that a lot of supplies get taken into account when exchanging the exotic supply to keep the balance.
• There should be a daily exchange limit. (measured in units of supplies)

If something like the exchange pass gets introduced, it will be a whole separate mechanics involving tankoins and crystals themselves, or even real money.

Maybe introduce inter-tanker exchanges
