Non-set mission reward unbinding

shadowwraith

There are many missions that give rewards that are set-items and also common drop gear in various rarities, i can understand that the set-gear and unique gear being bound to character but why the common drop stuff?.

example:

The current echoes of light mission gives the naussican set but also a disrupter induction coil which is a common drop but is bound to character on pickup, also common (White) gear included when purchasing a ship is character bound on acquisition and non-upgradable.

What i propose is that common drop items included as part of a mission reward or white gear included in a ship purchase be unbound or at the very least bind to account, white gear from ships should be changed to bind to account and be upgradable since they have no EC value.

If you consider the reason why you want this, you will realize that it is the EXACT reason and rationale why it's bound the way it is. Think about it.

If the gear that comes with ships was upgradable people would have a limitless supply of free weapons to upgrade in search of the perfect stats. Personally I just wish new ships would come without any gear at all, would save me the hassle of getting rid of all of it.

Yep. Like players trying to generate an "infinite" amount of EC off of ship gear and encouraging players to open lock boxes to get special weapons types.

If the equipment that came on new ships had a value then you could sell off the gear from a C-Store Ship, dismiss the ship, reclaim it, and sell the fresh supply of gear, and repeat until you had all of the cash that you would ever need.

I am not sure why vendor trash Mission Rewards are bound, though. It's too much of a hassle to keep replaying missions for one generic console.

+ one for ships coming without gear,at least ships over tier 1.

then give ships a per character claim condition like

1st claim get all the white gear
2nd claim ship only

also there are ships with weapons that cannot be obtained elsewhere like the coalition disruptors

except the ship gear has 0 EC value, i wasn't asking for that part to be changed.

the bound mission rewards are common drops so wouldn't make much of a difference.

Coalition Disruptors can be obtained from the Year of Hell or the Infinity lock boxes. They can also be purchased from the Exchange.

not until that lockbox gets released for consoles.

I mean.. even if the ship gear was upgradeable.. who cares. It comes out as garbage white. Nobody in their right mind would upgrade the coalitions that come on the zahl for example anyways.. you have to roll perfectly FOUR times at a white mk x starting point. You may as well just flush your dilithium down the galactic toilet. As far as b2a rewards like induction coils i mean fine? Even unbound theres no damage done there

You'll just have to be patient then.
