I posted a thread like this sometime back, but it's apparently been quite a while because I can't find it to bump it.
I managed to farm some rechargeable shield batteries for myself back in the day - but for new characters they're pretty much impossible to get. Not only that, the rechargeable weapon, aux, and engine batteries on the Odyssey and Enterprise C were surprisingly useful.
Is there any way we could get a rechargeable battery pack on the zen store? Small, easy to implement, doesn't cause any balance issues (not even a good credit sink, one shield, engine, or warp core drop on a space map will pay for two weeks worth of batteries). It would just be something nice to have - no more making trips back to dock just for batteries, no more having three item slots taken up by spare batteries.
My idea is: Rechargeable Battery Pack: 250 Zen. Character unlock for Shield, Weapon, Aux, and Engine rechargeable batteries.
Rechargeable Large Battery Pack: 500 Zen: Character unlock for large shield, weapon, aux, and engine rechargeables.
I would prefer they be account unlockables - even if for more Zen - but I would be more then willing to buy them on a character basis for the characters who use lots of batteries.
I'll fork over a few bucks for rechargables ground and space. I always get into a ground mission without having checked... and am out of blasted hypo's and shield charges. (Thanks Rep system :P)
