Option 1
This option would have a store similar to the one that already exists, except that instead of items, you purchase upgrades. You could increase the store size by spending Shopping Tokens in an exponential fashion (i.e. 1 ST increases store size by one, 2 ST increases by another one, 3 ST increases by another one, etc.). This would maintain the random element to the store and allow people to eventually find what they are looking for. However, I would suggest that the store refreshes its wares every night at rollover so people don’t have to waste ST to get new upgrades and it also encourages people to check every day lest they miss what they are looking for. You’d also have the appearance of “rare” upgrades such as +1.5 speed, +2 to SA (allowing breakage of the limit set above), etc. I’m not going to go much further with this idea, because I feel that option 2 is far superior from a player’s standpoint.


Woohoo! This is the first time anyone has ever referenced an idea I proposed.

Also... +1

Alright, good deal. I couldn't remember who posted this, so I'll edit the OP to include it.

Oh I don't need the credit, I'm just glad one of my ideas wasn't completely terrible.

Considering the % as a 1 attribute seems too overpowering to me. At lvl 32 I could have +10% chance at intercept?

Other than that, LOVE this idea. Adds more strategy by removing the randomness of the shopping store, and gives us more options wrt developing players. Bravo sir.

This is why I mentioned that there may have to be a limit to the %:

% abilities: Only up to +5%, meaning you could have +20% total potentially (this is conservative, as only Bort knows the code and whether or not this needs a limit).


But, all things considered, would you rather have +10% chance to intercept or +5 catching? Nobody really knows how these things work expect Bort, so that's why I leave it open.

i did some brainstorming at the end of this post:

...and i see there's quite a bit of overlap with what saintedix is suggesting here.

most of the proposals out there (and the ones from this thread in particular) are great ideas... and the sheer number of proposals attests to the fact that while the new training/equipment is a huge step in the right direction, it still feels unpolished.

i applaud Bort for keeping an open mind and listening to suggestions... hopefully over the next few days, some of the better tweaks will rise to the top and can possibly implemented. i worry that we might be too far down the road for any major overhauls (like my proposal from the link above), but i guess that's the way it goes.

Bump and new EDIT IDEA added for bonus tokens (from an old thread)
