Dr Brain Posted March 1, 2004 Report Posted March 1, 2004 The buy system will be undergoing a total overhaul in the coming months. All 8 ships will have purchasable hulls (with the removal of the shark newbie ship). Not all ships, however, will be able to buy all the components in the store. Instead, ships will have access to components that reflect their primary mission. For example, A weasel will have access to most of the "cool" items, whereas a warbird will have access to only a few "cool" items, but will be able to buy better speed and thruster upgrades than any of the other ships. Similarly, the Leviathan will have weapon system upgrades that will put fear on their enemies faces, but they wont have access to any but the most basic speed upgrades. Some items may require ammo to be purchaced for their use, while others may require only ship energy to function. Flashbangs launchers will require ammo for every use, and it must be replenished at a store that sells ammo. Some of the more advanced bomb and gun emplacements may also require ammo to function, because the rate of fire employed by them would drain the largest energy reserves in seconds (can you say gatling gun?).
