So I just unlocked nanosubverters
« on: November 01, 2012, 11:43:30 pm »
They are quite possibly the best module in the game for a championonly player.

Easily the best.

Of particular note - One ultra special MK3 ENGINEER. YES. I AM CHAMPION ONLY PLAYER WITH AN ENGINEER.

Also, It cant actually build modules. Keith, can you change this pretty please?

I believe the champion only player cannot build modules simply because he has no income. So, you'd need to nanosubvert yourself a metal and crystal collector if you actually wanted modules, and you wouldn't need an engineer to build them. When another player builds your modules, they're spending their... I believe only one M/C to build the module, and that's what the support actually is.

I had thought that might be the case. Unfortunately, I believe reprocessors are immune to reclaim, so there is no way for a champion to actually get m/c at all. I am really sad.

Can you subvert units and scrap them for M/C?  Just the random thought.

*shakes fist at not being able to gift resources to champion only players (I'm assuming you can't here, never tried)*

Well, any resource gifting is automatic when you're capped right? Has anyone actually tested that with champ-only players?

Last I checked (late 5.X era) it did not.

As a champion you're not supposed to be able to get resources by any means.  There were a few bugs allowing it during the beta, but I'm not aware of any now.

Anyway, yea, champion + reclamation is a very special variety of cheese, enjoy ;)

Hang on. Aren't the modules of 0 cost? Shouldn't that mean an engineer belonging to a champ player should still be able to rebuild the modules?

I wouldn't be surprised that it actually does have a cost, but it is so small due to rounding it comes up as zero.

No, it's actually 0.

Officially they cost 1m+1c, though I think it may even skip the part where it deducts it from your reserves.  But it requires some reserves to build them, nonetheless.

Or something like that.  It was dark, the changes were big.

Weren't costs zeroed to allow for respec in nebulas. And minor factions didn't have resources to build so....

The one SPECIAL MK3 ENGINEER must be sad now, it can't build anything.
