Make Turret Factories BUY turrets components

[Identitools]

Because first off this will be logic, they are factories, they need the components, and secondly, this : http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php?topic=2340.0

nah how much hand holding do you need to get op weapons?

This has nothing to do with "getting op weapons". It's not about turret production, it is about trading.

Also i said the factories BUY components, not SELL...

I think this suggestion can be redone/improved in a following way, if this is possible:

 

A: Turret factories buy turret components and stockpile them. They pay usual market price (depending on if stock is full, like Equipment Docks would do, for example).

 

B: When you order a turret from a turret factory, it uses its stock of turret components to produce them. However, it charges you more (in credits) than it does now.

 

C: Cost of producing a certain turret does not depend just on quality of it, but also on number of components, in a way like this:

 

Price = Traitscoeff*(C0*Typecoeff*Qcoeff + C1*N1*Comp1price + C2*N2*Comp2price + C3*N3*Comp3price ...... )

 

where

 

C0, C1, C2 - constant coefficients, C1,C2,C3, ... >1

Typecoeff - dependency on turret type

Qcoeff - dependent on turret quality

N1,N2,N3 ... - number of corresponding components used in a process

Comp(1/2/3)price - average price of corresponding component

Traitscoeff - dependent on turret traits, like "+X% damage".

 

 

TL,DR: you can sell components to turret factory now, and use them later on. Turret factory charges you for using its components.

I think the (not player owned) turret factory should charge a BIG extra for using its components, that way it still should be balanced and searching for components we will be still a thing.

I might add then:

 

C1,C2,C3 >> 1

 

Otherwise it would be too easy =)
