Trident Heavy Powercells

Ok, so I've been wandering around vo mining and killing bots and offering /gunner positions and accepting them, I think it's about time we bring many-player based ships back into question. Players are not selling THC' s any less than 5 million credits or trade offers that are nearly impossible for one to complete so, the idea is basically like this:

Make trident heavy cells buyable at biocom, orion, or ineubis stations or any station that seems to fit the selling of thc' s biocom makes sense because more than 50% of manufactured items are required at biocom.

Why? Yes it will weigh down your ship alot! But shall it be the only way to equip capital gauss and swarms on your moth/atlas without a 5-6 billion loss of materials needed to make an item the thc comes free with?

The thc will make the atlas practically useless, but it will turn a moth into a unstoppable train that will eliminate bots and queens.

I strongly urge the developers of vendetta online to consider the buying of this item.

Trident Heavy Powercell access should be a privilege for those who go through the effort of building a Trident. There is no reason a non-Captain should go and buy those cells.

They're called Trident Heavy Powercells for a reason. You need a Trident to get them. What other fun things you can do with them (equip them on small boats and be super massy) is an easter egg you get for manufacturing it.

Some of the players throughout vo do not have keys to conquerable stations, which gives them no opportunity to make the materials needed to build a dent, What was supposed to be in the suggestion was having the cells price go 500k-1 million creds, plus name a captain that doesn't have a heavy equipped on his trident, they make the dent slow so it stands to reason why you should go faster without this item, players do not sell this item because they have already gotten rid of it... I have not heard of any viable reason why or how this will only effect vendetta online as a whole.

So as it stands now, getting a THC requires the credits generated by roughly an hour's worth of work? What are you bitching about then?

Again negative feedback that does not necessarily stand for the topic at hand, ones profession in vendetta online retains a certain amount of currency that is not always constant and or present, by that I mean the only way I get money is by mining and mining gets you 100k a trip in a moth. I am simply just putting an idea out there but not everyone can be successfull at making credits in vo.

Um ... no. I'll sell you a THC for 4 mil. Or 3. Honestly it only costs 500k, plus travel time. 3 mil seems a good base price for the bother.

Greenwall I cannot turn down a 3 million cred offer, :) for a thc cool!

I find myself agreeing with Lecter, weirdly.
Jul 14, 2015 Tripod war of the worlds link
Same here but I convince the theory is sound, buyable thc' s is a good idea but I'll settle with what I can get.

Sounds like a personal problem. Besides, if you're RPing a miner, you've no business with a THC anyway.
Jul 14, 2015 Tripod war of the worlds link
I'm not rping a miner, I am many things, I hunt the hive, mine (for money), and I like many player occupied ships, I have lots of business with a THC just to use capital turrets. Capital turrets require 25 grid energy and no buyable or manufacturable Power cell has more than 20 grid power.

It is quite upsetting that you did not understand my point.

Some of the players throughout vo do not have keys to conquerable stations, which gives them no opportunity to make the materials needed to build a dent,

Yeah. So conquer the station or ask the owners for keys.

What was supposed to be in the suggestion was having the cells price go 500k-1 million creds

No. Why? Getting cash is very simple in VO.

plus name a captain that doesn't have a heavy equipped on his trident, they make the dent slow so it stands to reason why you should go faster without this item

This one isn't logical. But I can tell you from my perspective that I use Trident Heavy Cells whenever I fly my combat rig. I fly without them when I please to haul stuff quickly.

I have not heard of any viable reason why or how this will only effect vendetta online as a whole.

It doesn't effect VO as a whole and it doesn't need to?
Let me rephrase my opinion: The Trident Heavy Powercell comes as a bonus for making a Trident. Why would people who did not make one get to buy them en mass? You can already buy them from other players for silly cheap prices. That's fair enough for non-Captains.
Jul 15, 2015 Tripod war of the worlds link
I understand your point clearly seiger, I was having trouble finding a captain until Greenwall, no others sell them.
I am in a neutral guild that doesn't permit it's members to conquer stations.

What do you plan to do with the THC once you have one? Do you realize it's not exactly useful in a regular ship?
Jul 15, 2015 Tripod war of the worlds link
My whole plan is to put one in a behemoth so my gunner can use capital turrets.
Obviously this is way too much to ask.
Jul 15, 2015 Darth Nihilus link
All capital turrets were intentionally given high grid requirements so that they could only be put on capital ships. Then, trident power cells were given extreme weight so that they could only be useful on a trident. You see, my friend, the devs intended for the capital turrets to ONLY BE USED ON CAPITAL ships. That is why the DEVS DECIDED TO PUT CAPITAL IN THE NAME OF THE ADD-ON. This should really drive home the point that THEY SHOLD ONLY BE USED ON CAPITAL SHIPS.

At least 4 members from TRI tried explaining this to you, but once again:

CAPITAL TURRETS, BY DESIGN, ARE NOT MEANT TO BE PUT ON REGULAR SHIPS.

I'm not rping a miner, I am many things . . .

ARGH, THEN COMING UP WITH A MEASLY 5 MILLION CREDITS SHOULD BE FAST AND EASY!

I've been saying it for over ten years now, but it bears repeating: we need smarter noobs.

Darth...You are a leader, nonetheless a commander of TRI, or "Trident Arms Syndicate" you should know that you sell trident parts right? Or need I must explain to you how to run your own company?
Jul 15, 2015 Darth Nihilus link
We sell parts that are used to construct a trident. We don't turn around and start stripping said tridents for other parts that are essentially worthless anywhere else.

I don't run TRI. TRI runs TRI. Hang out with us some time. It may just cause you to lose some of that ignorance that your flaunting around.
Jul 15, 2015 Tripod war of the worlds link
Tri sells megaposi's, uc' s, even avalons but does not sell thc' s? This is the part that really bugs the hell out of me, "Trident Arms Syndicate" if a thc isn't a "arm" than ..Well so be it lol.
